1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * The optimize_as option for type constraints has been deprecated. Use the
9 inline_as option to provide inlining code instead. (Dave Rolsky)
13 * The ->is_subtype_of and ->is_a_type_of methods have changed their
14 behavior. Previously, they returned true if any of their member types
15 returned true for a given type. Now, all of the member types must return
16 true. Fixes RT #67731. (Dave Rolsky)
20 * The Moose::Exporter module now has a "meta_lookup" option when creating an
21 importer. This allows you to specify an alternate method for determining
22 the metaclass of a caller. This is useful for modules like
23 MooseX::Role::Parameterized which generate new metaclasses on the
26 * Added a Moose::Meta::Method->is_stub method. (Dave Rolsky)
28 * An attribute accessor or delegation method can overwrite a stub method and
29 this will no longer throw an error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. Fixes
30 RT 69988. (Dave Rolsky)
34 * The Class::MOP::load_class and Class::MOP::is_class_loaded subroutines are
35 no longer documented, and will cause a deprecation warning in the
36 future. Moose now uses Class::Load to provide this functionality, and you
37 should as well. (Dave Rolsky)
39 2.0205 Tue, Sep 06, 2011
43 * The Array and Hash native traits now provide a "shallow_clone" method,
44 which will return a reference to a new container with the same contents as
45 the attribute's reference.
49 * Specifying an invalid value in a hashref 'handles' value now throws a
50 sensible error. Fixes RT #69990. (Dave Rolsky)
54 * When specifying an attribute trait, passing options for the trait besides
55 -alias or -excludes caused a warning. However, passing other options is
56 totally valid when using MooseX::Role::Parameterized. Fixes RT
59 * Allow regexp objects in duck_type constraints (to bring this in line with
60 the Object constraint).
62 2.0204 Thu, Aug 25, 2011
66 * Validating duck_type type constraint turned out to work only by accident,
67 and only when not running under the debugger. This has been fixed.
72 * Loosen the dependency on ExtUtils::ParseXS.
74 2.0203 Tue, Aug 23, 2011
78 * is_class_loaded now properly detects packages which have a version object
81 * Fix XS compilation under blead.
83 2.0202 Tue, Jul 26, 2011
87 * Be more consistent about how type constraint messages are handled.
89 2.0201 Fri, Jul 22, 2011
93 * Moose::Util::does_role shouldn't call ->does on things that don't inherit
96 * Make ->does initialize the metaclass, so that calling it as a class method
97 on a class which sets up inheritance via some method other than extends
98 works properly (this fixes an issue with MooseX::Types).
100 * Make Dist::CheckConflicts a runtime requirement, so moose-outdated always
103 2.0200 Mon, Jul 18, 2011
107 * No changes from 2.0105 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
109 2.0105-TRIAL Mon, Jun 27, 2011
113 * Moose::Util::does_role now respects overridden ->does methods. (doy)
115 2.0104-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
119 * Include changes from 2.0010.
121 2.0103-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
125 * Several things that have been deprecated for a while have been removed. See
126 the 2.0000 section in Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
130 * New Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::union function for creating union type
131 constraints without having to rely on the string type constraint parsing.
132 This also allows for creating unions of anonymous type constraints.
137 * Include changes from Moose 2.0009.
139 2.0102-TRIAL Sat, Jun 18, 2011
143 * The native Array trait now has a 'first_index' method, which works just
144 like the version in List::MoreUtils. (Karen Etheridge)
146 * Clean up some internal code to help out extensions.
150 * Include changes from Moose 2.0008.
152 2.0101-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
156 * Various packaging issues.
158 2.0100-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
162 * Using a hand-optimized type constraint is now deprecated. In keeping with
163 our release policy, this won't actually start warning until the 2.0200
168 * Type constraints can now provide inlined versions, which should make
169 inlined code which uses type constraints (such as accessors) faster. This
170 replaces the existing hand-optimized constraint feature. (Dave Rolsky)
174 * Remove a lot of cases where generated methods closed over meta objects.
175 Most simple cases should now only close over simple data types and
176 coderefs. This should make deparsing simpler.
178 2.0010 Mon, Jun 20, 2011
182 * Fix regression in 2.0009 and 2.0103 when applying roles during init_meta in
183 an exporter that also re-exports Moose or Moose::Role. (t0m, ilmari)
185 2.0009 Sun, Jun 19, 2011
189 * duck_type type constraints now report reasonable errors when given
190 something which isn't an instance of an object. (t0m)
192 * Moose::Util::apply_all_roles now works even if the applicant is a non-Moose
195 * When an object is reblessed, triggers are called on attributes that are
196 set during the reblessing. (Karen Etheridge).
200 * Better error message if Moose->init_meta is called with a 'metaclass'
201 option when that metaclass hasn't been loaded. (jasonmay)
203 2.0008 Thu, Jun 16, 2011
207 * The 'accessor' native delegation for hashrefs now allows setting the value
208 to undef. (sugoik, doy)
212 * Various generated methods have more useful context information. (doy)
214 2.0007 Sun, May 15, 2011
218 * Make sure weak attributes remain weak when cloning. (doy, rafl)
220 2.0006 Mon, May 09, 2011
224 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
225 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
227 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
231 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
233 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
237 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
239 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
240 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
242 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
246 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
247 skips every other role. (rjbs)
249 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
250 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
251 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
252 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
253 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
255 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
259 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
260 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
261 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
264 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
269 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
271 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
272 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
274 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
278 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
279 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
280 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
284 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
285 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
287 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
288 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
290 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
291 environments. (doy, mateu)
293 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
297 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
298 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
299 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
300 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
304 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
305 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
307 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
311 * Update conflicts list.
314 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
318 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
319 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
320 details. (Dave Rolsky)
322 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
323 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
324 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
325 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
326 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
330 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
331 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
332 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
333 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
334 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
337 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
341 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
342 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
344 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
347 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
351 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
352 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
353 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
354 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
356 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
357 immutable classes). (mo)
359 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
360 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
361 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
363 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
367 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
369 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
371 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
375 * Fix some indexing issues.
377 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
379 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
383 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
384 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
385 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
386 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
387 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
389 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
390 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
395 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
396 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
397 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
398 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
400 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
401 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
402 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
406 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
407 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
410 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
414 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
415 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
419 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
423 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
424 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
425 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
426 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
429 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
433 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
436 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
440 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
441 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
442 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
445 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
449 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
450 policy. (Chris Prather)
452 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
453 on this new support policy. (doy)
457 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
458 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
459 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
461 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
462 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
464 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
468 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
469 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
470 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
471 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
474 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
478 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
479 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
482 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
486 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
487 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
489 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
490 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
494 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
495 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
496 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
497 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
498 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
499 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
501 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
502 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
504 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
505 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
506 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
507 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
509 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
510 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
512 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
517 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
518 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
520 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
524 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
525 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
526 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
528 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
532 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
533 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
534 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
536 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
537 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
540 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
541 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
544 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
545 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
546 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
548 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
549 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
554 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
555 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
556 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
557 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
559 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
560 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
562 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
563 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
565 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
566 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
567 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
568 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
570 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
571 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
572 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
575 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
576 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
577 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
578 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
580 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
581 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
584 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
585 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
586 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
588 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
592 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
593 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
594 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
596 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
597 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
598 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
601 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
602 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
603 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
605 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
606 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
607 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
609 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
610 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
614 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
615 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
616 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
618 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
619 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
620 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
621 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
623 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
627 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
628 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
629 value is a reference.
631 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
632 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
634 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
638 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
639 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
640 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
642 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
646 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
647 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
651 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
652 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
653 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
655 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
656 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
657 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
659 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
663 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
665 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
669 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
671 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
672 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
677 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
678 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
680 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
681 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
682 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
683 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
684 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
686 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
687 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
688 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
689 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
691 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
695 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
696 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
701 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
703 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
705 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
710 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
712 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
716 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
717 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
718 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
720 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
721 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
722 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
723 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
725 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
726 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
727 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
728 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
729 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
732 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
737 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
738 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
739 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
740 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
741 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
744 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
748 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
751 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
752 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
756 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
757 function (not just method). (doy)
761 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
762 and aren't easily installable/testable.
764 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
768 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
769 to be overridden more easily (doy).
771 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
775 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
776 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
778 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
782 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
783 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
784 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
786 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
790 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
791 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
792 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
794 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
795 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
799 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
800 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
802 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
803 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
807 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
808 is applied to a class (t0m).
810 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
811 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
813 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
816 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
817 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
819 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
820 be much more robust. (doy)
822 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
824 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
827 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
831 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
832 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
834 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
838 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
839 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
841 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
844 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
845 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
846 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
848 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
849 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
850 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
853 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
855 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
859 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
860 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
864 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
866 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
870 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
871 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
875 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
876 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
880 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
882 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
886 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
887 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
891 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
892 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
896 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
897 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
899 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
903 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
904 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
905 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
908 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
912 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
913 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
914 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
915 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
917 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
921 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
922 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
923 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
927 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
930 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
934 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
935 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
936 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
940 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
941 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
943 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
944 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
945 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
946 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
948 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
952 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
956 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
957 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
959 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
960 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
961 - Moose::Util::does_role
962 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
963 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
964 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
966 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
970 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
971 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
972 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
975 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
979 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
980 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
983 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
987 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
988 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
991 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
995 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
997 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
998 class. (Dave Rolsky).
1000 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
1001 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
1002 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
1004 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
1005 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
1006 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
1009 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
1010 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1012 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
1013 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
1014 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
1016 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
1018 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
1019 substr et al, again. (sorear)
1021 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
1023 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
1026 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
1027 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
1029 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
1030 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
1032 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
1033 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
1034 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
1035 dependencies installed.
1037 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
1038 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
1041 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
1043 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
1047 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1049 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1050 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
1051 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
1053 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1054 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
1055 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
1057 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
1058 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
1061 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
1062 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
1063 others. (nothingmuch)
1065 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1066 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
1067 remove_accessors. (doy)
1069 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1070 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
1071 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
1073 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
1074 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
1076 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
1077 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1078 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
1079 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
1081 * Moose::Meta::Class
1082 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
1083 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
1085 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1086 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
1088 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
1090 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
1091 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
1094 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1095 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
1096 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
1097 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
1098 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
1100 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
1101 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
1102 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
1103 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
1104 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
1105 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
1106 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
1109 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
1110 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
1111 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
1112 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
1113 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
1115 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
1116 which were not receiving the value of
1117 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
1118 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
1119 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
1120 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
1124 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
1125 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
1126 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
1127 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
1128 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
1131 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1132 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
1133 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
1134 - added tests for this (Stevan)
1136 * Moose::Meta::Class
1137 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
1138 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
1139 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
1142 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
1143 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1144 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
1146 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1147 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
1148 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
1151 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
1152 class if you pass it options for
1153 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
1154 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
1155 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
1156 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
1157 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
1158 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
1159 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
1160 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
1161 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
1163 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1164 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
1165 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
1166 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
1167 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
1170 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
1171 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1172 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
1173 existing delegation API. (hdp)
1175 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1176 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
1177 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
1178 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
1179 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
1180 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
1183 * Moose::Error::Croak
1184 * Moose::Error::Confess
1185 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
1186 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
1189 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
1192 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
1193 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
1194 installing a broken sub. (doy)
1196 * Moose::Meta::Class
1197 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
1200 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
1201 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1202 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
1204 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1205 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1206 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
1207 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
1208 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
1210 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1211 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
1214 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
1216 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1217 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1220 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1221 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1223 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1224 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1225 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1226 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1228 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1229 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1230 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1231 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1232 using it for new code!
1234 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1235 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1236 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1237 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1239 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1240 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1241 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1242 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1243 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1244 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1245 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1246 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1249 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1252 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1253 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1256 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1257 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1259 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1260 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1261 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1263 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1264 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1265 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1266 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1268 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1269 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1270 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1272 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1273 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1274 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1277 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1278 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1279 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1280 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1281 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1282 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1284 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1286 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1289 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1290 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1291 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1293 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1294 associated_methods. (hdp)
1295 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1296 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1297 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1298 misspelled) arguments
1300 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1301 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1302 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1303 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1305 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1306 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1307 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1309 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1312 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1313 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1314 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1317 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1318 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1320 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1321 * Moose::Meta::Class
1322 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1323 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1325 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1326 * Moose::Manual::Types
1327 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1328 string parsing rathole (mst)
1330 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1331 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1332 using plain objects instead
1334 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1335 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1336 that's what we need.
1338 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1339 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1340 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1341 three times today (perigrin)
1342 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1343 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1345 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1346 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1347 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1348 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1351 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1352 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1353 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1354 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1355 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1356 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1359 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1360 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1361 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1362 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1365 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1367 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1370 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1372 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1375 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1376 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1377 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1381 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1382 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1385 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1386 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1388 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1389 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1390 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1392 * Moose::Unsweetened
1393 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1395 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1396 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1399 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1403 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1404 methods during global destruction (doy)
1406 * Moose::Meta::Class
1407 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1408 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1409 consumption (Sartak)
1411 * Moose::Meta::Class
1412 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1413 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1416 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1417 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1420 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1421 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1423 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1425 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1429 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1430 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1431 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1434 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1435 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1436 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1439 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1441 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1442 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1443 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1446 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1447 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1448 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1449 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1451 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1452 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1453 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1456 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1459 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1460 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1461 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1465 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1466 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1468 * Moose::Meta::Class
1469 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1471 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1473 * Moose::Meta::Class
1474 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1475 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1478 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1479 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1482 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1483 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1486 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1489 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1491 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1492 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1495 * Moose::Meta::Class
1496 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1498 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1499 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1502 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1503 * More deprecations and renamings
1504 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1505 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1506 when an object is constructed)
1509 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1510 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1511 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1513 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1514 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1515 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1516 feature, and it works again.
1519 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1521 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1523 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1524 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1525 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1527 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1528 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1529 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1530 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1531 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1533 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1534 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1535 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1536 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1537 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1540 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1541 metaclass object. (hdp)
1543 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1544 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1545 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1546 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1547 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1548 point out this fact. (hdp)
1550 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1551 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1553 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1554 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1556 * Moose::Meta::Class
1557 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1558 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1559 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1560 called during instance construction were passed the
1561 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1562 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1564 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1565 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1568 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1569 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1570 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1573 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1574 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1575 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1576 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1577 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1579 - Moose::Meta::Class
1580 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1582 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1583 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1584 when an object is constructed)
1585 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1587 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1588 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1589 when an object is constructed)
1590 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1591 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1592 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1595 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1597 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1598 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1600 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1602 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1603 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1604 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1606 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1607 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1608 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1610 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1612 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1613 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1615 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1616 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1619 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1620 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1623 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1624 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1625 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1627 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1628 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1632 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1633 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1634 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1636 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1637 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1640 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1641 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1642 with recommended workarounds.
1644 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1645 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1647 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1648 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1649 (yes, spelled like that).
1651 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1652 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1654 * Moose::Meta::Class
1655 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1656 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1658 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1660 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1661 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1662 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1663 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1664 instead. Reported by doy.
1666 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1668 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1669 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1671 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1672 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1673 message) is now deprecated.
1674 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1675 often got it wrong. For example:
1677 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1679 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1683 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1684 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1685 bite you in weird cases.
1687 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1688 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1689 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1690 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1692 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1693 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1697 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1700 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1701 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1704 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1705 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1707 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1708 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1711 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1712 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1713 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1714 - added tests for this (stevan)
1716 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1717 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1718 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1719 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1723 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1724 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1725 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1726 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1728 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1729 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1730 - added tests for this (rafl)
1732 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1733 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1734 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1735 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1739 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1740 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1743 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1744 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1745 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1747 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1749 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1750 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1752 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1753 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1754 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1755 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1756 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1758 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1759 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1760 error message did not specify the attribute name
1763 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1765 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1767 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1768 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1769 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1771 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1772 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1775 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1777 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1778 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1779 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1780 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1782 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1784 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1785 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1786 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1787 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1789 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1790 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1791 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1793 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1794 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1795 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1796 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1797 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1799 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1800 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1801 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1802 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1803 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1805 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1806 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1807 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1808 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1809 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1810 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1812 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1813 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1814 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1815 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1816 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1817 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1819 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1820 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1822 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1823 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1824 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1825 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1827 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1828 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1831 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1835 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1836 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1838 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1839 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1840 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1841 guts. (nothingmuch).
1843 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1844 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1845 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1847 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1848 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1849 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1850 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1852 * Moose::Meta::Class
1853 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1856 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1857 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1859 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1860 * Moose::Unsweetened
1861 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1864 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1865 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1866 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1867 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1868 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1869 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1871 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1872 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1873 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1874 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1875 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1876 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1877 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1878 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1879 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1880 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1882 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1884 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1885 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1887 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1888 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1889 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1890 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1892 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1893 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1894 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1895 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1896 same methods for a single role did not work
1897 right (worked just fine with multiple
1899 - added test for this (stevan)
1901 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1902 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1903 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1906 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1907 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1908 - added test for this (t0m)
1911 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1912 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1913 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1915 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1916 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1917 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1918 - added test for this (t0m)
1920 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1921 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1922 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1923 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1924 - added test for this (perigrin)
1927 - create method for constructing a role
1928 dynamically (Sartak)
1929 - added test for this (Sartak)
1930 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1931 - added test for this (Sartak)
1934 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1936 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1937 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1938 methods is useful (Sartak)
1940 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1941 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1942 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1945 * Moose::Meta::Class
1946 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1947 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1948 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1949 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1950 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1951 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1954 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1955 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1957 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1958 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1959 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1960 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1961 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1963 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1965 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1966 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1967 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1970 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1971 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1972 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1973 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1974 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1975 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1978 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1979 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1980 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1981 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1982 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1983 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1984 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1985 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1986 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1987 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1988 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1990 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1991 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1994 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1995 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1996 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1997 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1998 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2000 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
2002 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
2003 predicate, and link to more details sections in
2004 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
2006 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2007 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
2009 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2010 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
2011 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
2012 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2015 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
2016 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
2018 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
2020 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
2021 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
2023 * Moose::Meta::Class
2024 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
2025 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
2026 a required attribute
2028 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
2029 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
2030 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
2031 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
2033 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2034 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
2036 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2037 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
2038 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
2039 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
2040 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
2041 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
2042 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
2043 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
2045 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
2046 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
2047 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
2049 * Roles and role application
2050 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
2051 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
2052 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
2053 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
2054 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
2056 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
2057 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
2060 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
2061 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
2062 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
2063 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
2064 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
2067 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
2068 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
2069 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
2070 changes in the Moose internals.
2072 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
2073 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2074 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
2077 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2078 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
2079 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
2080 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
2082 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2083 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
2084 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
2085 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
2087 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2088 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
2089 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
2090 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
2091 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
2092 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
2093 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
2094 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
2095 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
2096 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
2097 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
2098 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
2099 constraint implementations.
2101 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
2105 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
2106 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
2107 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
2108 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
2109 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
2110 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
2111 - added tests for this (rafl)
2113 * Moose::Meta::Class
2114 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
2115 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
2116 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
2117 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
2118 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
2119 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
2120 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
2121 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
2124 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
2125 - added tests for this (thepler)
2127 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2128 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
2129 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
2130 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
2133 * Moose::Meta::Class
2134 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2135 * Moose::Meta::Method
2138 * Moose::Error::Default
2139 * Moose::Error::Croak
2140 * Moose::Error::Confess
2141 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
2142 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
2143 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
2144 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
2145 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
2146 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
2148 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
2150 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
2151 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
2153 * Moose::Unsweetened
2154 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
2155 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
2156 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
2158 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2159 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
2160 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
2161 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
2162 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2165 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
2166 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
2168 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
2169 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
2170 several major changes in this release of Moose.

2210 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
2211 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
2213 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2214 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
2217 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2218 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
2219 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
2220 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
2221 coincidental exception. (t0m).
2222 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2224 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2225 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
2227 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2229 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
2230 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
2234 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
2235 method when that method was provided by another role being
2236 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
2237 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
2239 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008

2247 - added test for this (t0m)
2249 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2250 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
2251 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
2253 - added test for this (t0m)
2256 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
2257 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
2258 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
2261 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
2262 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
2264 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
2266 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
2267 easier (Dave Rolsky)
2269 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2270 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
2271 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
2273 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2274 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
2277 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1

2280 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
2284 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
2285 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
2286 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)

2290 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
2291 Rolsky and nothingmuch)

2295 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
2299 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash

2304 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2305 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
2306 created so that the process can be more easily

2341 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
2342 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
2344 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2345 ... this is not my day today ...
2347 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2348 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2349 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2350 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2351 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2354 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2355 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2356 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2357 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2358 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2361 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2363 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2364 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
2365 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
2366 this is not ever something you want to do
2367 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
2368 - added tests for this (stevan)
2371 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
2373 - added test for this

2385 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
2386 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
2389 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
2391 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
2393 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
2396 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2397 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2398 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2399 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2400 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2401 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2402 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2403 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2404 - added tests for this
2406 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2407 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
2408 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
2409 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by

2480 which was causing the indexer to choke
2482 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2483 (late night release engineering)--
2485 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
2486 changes in this release

2502 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2503 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
2504 method for immutablization to check if the
2505 destructor object even needs to be created
2508 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2509 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2510 - added more descriptive error message to help
2511 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
2512 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
2514 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
2516 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
2517 XS based functionality is now optional
2518 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2519 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2520 can now be used to force non-XS versions
2522 - several of the packages have been tweaked
2523 to take care of this, mostly we added
2524 support for the package_name and name

2527 support regexp matching of names
2528 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)

2531 is currently not supported in roles,
2532 but, ... patches welcome

2539 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2540 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2541 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
2542 same array ref form that Moose.pm does

2544 - added test for this
2546 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2547 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
2548 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
2551 * Moose::Meta::Class
2552 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
2556 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
2558 - added tests for this
2559 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
2560 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)

2568 called by the inlined immutable
2570 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
2572 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
2573 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
2574 (if possible) to create the anon-class
2575 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)

2590 show where the error is (thanks mst)
2593 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
2594 ->body when looping through the
2595 methods, to avoid the overloaded
2597 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
2598 eating the $@ values, and so not
2599 working correctly, it still kind of
2600 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
2601 - added tests for this
2603 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
2604 - added new recipe for immutable
2605 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2607 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe9

2623 drink more coffee before
2624 doing release engineering
2626 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,

2741 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2743 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

2782 - making test for using '+name' on attributes consumed
2783 from a role, it works and makes sense too.
2785 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2786 - fix handles so that it doesn't return nothing
2787 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
2788 it ever did this originally, this means we now
2789 have slightly better support for AUTOLOADed
2791 - added more delegation tests
2792 - adding ->does method to this so as to better
2793 support traits and their introspection.
2794 - added tests for this

3034 - added tests for this
3037 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
3038 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

3080 - fixed how required methods are handled
3081 when they encounter overriden or modified
3082 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
3083 - added tests for this
3085 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
3086 - fixed the type notation parser so that
3087 the | always creates a union and so is
3088 no longer a valid type char (thanks to

3091 - added more tests for this
3093 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
3096 * Parameterized Types
3097 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
3098 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
3099 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
3100 They can also be nested:
3101 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
3102 And work with the type unions as well:
3103 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
3105 * Better Framework Extendability
3106 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
3107 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
3108 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
3109 section of the Moose.pm docs.
3112 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
3113 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
3114 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
3115 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
3118 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
3120 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
3121 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)

3181 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3183 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union

3349 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3350 so that you can actually document your
3351 attributes and inspect them through the
3353 - added tests and docs for this
3355 * Moose::Meta::Class
3356 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3357 it will first look in for the class in the
3358 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3359 then default to just loading $name.
3360 - added tests and docs for this
3362 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3363 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3364 - added test for this
3367 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
3368 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
3369 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3370 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3372 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3373 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3376 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3378 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3379 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3380 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3383 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3384 !! for this developer release to work !!
3386 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3387 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3388 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3389 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3390 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3391 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3392 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3393 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3394 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3395 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3396 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3398 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3399 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3400 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3401 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3404 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3405 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3406 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3407 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3408 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3410 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3412 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3413 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3416 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3417 called unless they actually need to be.
3418 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3419 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3420 DEMOLISH method present.
3422 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3423 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3424 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3425 type constraint, which allows for a
3426 hand optimized version of the type
3427 constraint to be used when possible.
3428 - Any internally created type constraints
3429 now provide an optimized version as well.
3431 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3433 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3434 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3435 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3437 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3438 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3439 your class namespace of these exported
3442 * Moose::Meta::Class
3443 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3444 comes up during global destruction
3446 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3450 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3453 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3454 - changed how we do type checks so that
3455 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3458 - moved accessor generation methods to
3459 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3460 conform to the API changes from
3463 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3464 - changed how constraints are compiled
3465 so that we do less recursion and more
3466 iteration. This makes the type check
3468 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3471 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3472 - created this from methods formerly found in
3473 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3475 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3476 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3478 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3479 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3481 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3482 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3484 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3486 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3487 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3488 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3489 - added tests for this
3490 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3491 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3492 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3493 - removed tests for this
3495 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3497 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3498 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3499 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3502 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3503 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3504 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3506 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3507 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3508 comments for more info.
3511 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3512 asked questions and common problems
3514 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3515 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3516 - added tests for this
3518 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3519 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3520 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3521 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3523 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3524 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3527 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3528 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3529 is much appreciated :)
3530 - added tests for this
3532 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3533 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3534 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3537 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3538 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3540 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3542 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3543 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3547 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3548 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3549 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3551 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3553 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3556 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3557 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3558 keywords because we need to localize them.
3559 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3561 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3562 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3563 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3566 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3569 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3570 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3571 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3574 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3575 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3576 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3578 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3580 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3581 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3582 bottom of your class file.
3585 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3588 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3590 - improved error message when loading modules so
3591 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3592 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3593 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3596 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3597 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3598 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3600 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3601 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3603 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3604 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3605 turn them on for you.
3606 - added tests for this
3607 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3608 in Moose::Meta::Class
3611 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
3612 automatically turned on for you.
3613 - added tests for this
3616 - now handles an edge case for override errors
3617 - added tests for this
3618 - added some more edge case tests

3631 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
3634 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
3635 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3636 - This release works in combination with
3637 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3638 release because it uses the a new
3639 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3640 complete Role implementation. It has
3641 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3642 the the previous CPAN version. This
3643 release also lacks good updated docs,
3644 the official release will have updated docs.
3647 - refactored the keyword exports
3648 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3649 accepts more than one Role at a time
3650 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3651 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3654 - refactored the keyword exports
3655 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3656 accepts more than one Role at a time
3658 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3659 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3660 string enumerations which can be used as
3662 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3665 - more careful checking of params to new()
3668 - much work done on the role composition
3669 - many new tests for conflict detection
3670 and composition edge cases
3671 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3672 looking at the tests
3674 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3675 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3676 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3678 * Moose::Meta::Class
3679 - some small changes to support the new
3681 - some small additions to support Roles
3683 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3684 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3686 - some small changes to support the new
3688 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3689 with the 'handles' option
3690 - added several tests for this
3691 - no docs for this yet
3693 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
3695 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3696 thanks to chansen for this commit
3697 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3698 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3699 on a per-attribute basis
3700 - added tests for this
3701 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3702 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3703 experimental feature and probably not finished
3704 see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
3705 more details, or ask about it on #moose
3706 - added tests for this
3709 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter

3768 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
3770 - added test for this
