1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
6 2.0301 Fri, Oct 21, 2011
10 * Fix compilation on 5.8. Reported by ether. (doy)
12 * A custom error class caused a warning when the class that used it was made
13 immutable. Reported by Maroš Kollár. RT #71514. (Dave Rolsky)
17 * The enum type will now allow single value enumerations. Previously, two or
18 more values were required. (rjbs)
20 2.0300 Fri, Sep 23, 2011
24 * The optimize_as option for type constraints has been deprecated. Use the
25 inline_as option to provide inlining code instead. (Dave Rolsky)
29 * Methods to introspect a class's methods will now return methods defined in
30 UNIVERSAL (isa, can, etc.). This also means that you can wrap these
31 methods with method modifiers. RT #69839. Reported by Vyacheslav
32 Matyukhin. (Dave Rolsky)
34 * The ->parent and ->parents method for a union now return the nearest
35 common ancestor of that union's component types. See Moose::Manual::Delta
36 for more details. (Dave Rolsky)
38 * The ->parents method used to return an arrayref for union types, and a
39 list of one or more types for all other types. Now they all return
42 * The ->is_subtype_of and ->is_a_type_of methods have changed their behavior
43 for union types. Previously, they returned true if any of their member
44 types returned true for a given type. Now, all of the member types must
45 return true. RT #67731. (Dave Rolsky)
49 * The Moose::Exporter module now has a "meta_lookup" option when creating an
50 importer. This allows you to specify an alternate method for determining
51 the metaclass of a caller. This is useful for modules like
52 MooseX::Role::Parameterized which generate new metaclasses on the
55 * Added a Moose::Meta::Method->is_stub method. (Dave Rolsky)
59 * A subtype of a union type did not return the right results when you called
60 ->is_subtype_of or ->is_a_type_of on it. This has been fixed. RT
63 * An attribute accessor or delegation method can overwrite a stub method and
64 this will no longer throw an error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. RT
67 * The error generated by unfulfilled method requirements during role
68 composition now mentions how to work around imported methods not being
69 recognized. Reported by Michael Schwern. RT #60583. (doy)
71 * class_type and role_type will now throw errors if you attempt to use them
72 to override existing types, just like type and subtype have always done.
75 * Implicitly creating class or role types by using them as the 'isa' or
76 'does' parameter to attribute construction will now register the type. This
77 means that it cannot later be redefined as something else. (doy)
79 * $class_type->is_subtype_of no longer returns true if passed the name of the
80 class that the class type represents when the class type wasn't registered.
83 * Removing anonymous metaclasses prematurely no longer prevents reaping of
84 the associated stash. (doy)
88 * The Class::MOP::load_class and Class::MOP::is_class_loaded subroutines are
89 no longer documented, and will cause a deprecation warning in the
90 future. Moose now uses Class::Load to provide this functionality, and you
91 should as well. (Dave Rolsky)
93 2.0205 Tue, Sep 06, 2011
97 * The Array and Hash native traits now provide a "shallow_clone" method,
98 which will return a reference to a new container with the same contents as
99 the attribute's reference.
103 * Specifying an invalid value in a hashref 'handles' value now throws a
104 sensible error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. RT #69990. (Dave
109 * When specifying an attribute trait, passing options for the trait besides
110 -alias or -excludes caused a warning. However, passing other options is
111 totally valid when using MooseX::Role::Parameterized. Fixes RT
114 * Allow regexp objects in duck_type constraints (to bring this in line with
115 the Object constraint).
117 2.0204 Thu, Aug 25, 2011
121 * Validating duck_type type constraint turned out to work only by accident,
122 and only when not running under the debugger. This has been fixed.
127 * Loosen the dependency on ExtUtils::ParseXS.
129 2.0203 Tue, Aug 23, 2011
133 * is_class_loaded now properly detects packages which have a version object
136 * Fix XS compilation under blead.
138 2.0202 Tue, Jul 26, 2011
142 * Be more consistent about how type constraint messages are handled.
144 2.0201 Fri, Jul 22, 2011
148 * Moose::Util::does_role shouldn't call ->does on things that don't inherit
151 * Make ->does initialize the metaclass, so that calling it as a class method
152 on a class which sets up inheritance via some method other than extends
153 works properly (this fixes an issue with MooseX::Types).
155 * Make Dist::CheckConflicts a runtime requirement, so moose-outdated always
158 2.0200 Mon, Jul 18, 2011
162 * No changes from 2.0105 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
164 2.0105-TRIAL Mon, Jun 27, 2011
168 * Moose::Util::does_role now respects overridden ->does methods. (doy)
170 2.0104-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
174 * Include changes from 2.0010.
176 2.0103-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
180 * Several things that have been deprecated for a while have been removed. See
181 the 2.0000 section in Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
185 * New Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::union function for creating union type
186 constraints without having to rely on the string type constraint parsing.
187 This also allows for creating unions of anonymous type constraints.
192 * Include changes from Moose 2.0009.
194 2.0102-TRIAL Sat, Jun 18, 2011
198 * The native Array trait now has a 'first_index' method, which works just
199 like the version in List::MoreUtils. (Karen Etheridge)
201 * Clean up some internal code to help out extensions.
205 * Include changes from Moose 2.0008.
207 2.0101-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
211 * Various packaging issues.
213 2.0100-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
217 * Using a hand-optimized type constraint is now deprecated. In keeping with
218 our release policy, this won't actually start warning until the 2.0200
223 * Type constraints can now provide inlined versions, which should make
224 inlined code which uses type constraints (such as accessors) faster. This
225 replaces the existing hand-optimized constraint feature. (Dave Rolsky)
229 * Remove a lot of cases where generated methods closed over meta objects.
230 Most simple cases should now only close over simple data types and
231 coderefs. This should make deparsing simpler.
233 2.0010 Mon, Jun 20, 2011
237 * Fix regression in 2.0009 and 2.0103 when applying roles during init_meta in
238 an exporter that also re-exports Moose or Moose::Role. (t0m, ilmari)
240 2.0009 Sun, Jun 19, 2011
244 * duck_type type constraints now report reasonable errors when given
245 something which isn't an instance of an object. (t0m)
247 * Moose::Util::apply_all_roles now works even if the applicant is a non-Moose
250 * When an object is reblessed, triggers are called on attributes that are
251 set during the reblessing. (Karen Etheridge).
255 * Better error message if Moose->init_meta is called with a 'metaclass'
256 option when that metaclass hasn't been loaded. (jasonmay)
258 2.0008 Thu, Jun 16, 2011
262 * The 'accessor' native delegation for hashrefs now allows setting the value
263 to undef. (sugoik, doy)
267 * Various generated methods have more useful context information. (doy)
269 2.0007 Sun, May 15, 2011
273 * Make sure weak attributes remain weak when cloning. (doy, rafl)
275 2.0006 Mon, May 09, 2011
279 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
280 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
282 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
286 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
288 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
292 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
294 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
295 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
297 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
301 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
302 skips every other role. (rjbs)
304 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
305 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
306 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
307 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
308 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
310 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
314 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
315 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
316 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
319 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
324 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
326 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
327 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
329 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
333 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
334 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
335 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
339 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
340 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
342 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
343 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
345 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
346 environments. (doy, mateu)
348 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
352 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
353 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
354 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
355 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
359 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
360 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
362 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
366 * Update conflicts list.
369 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
373 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
374 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
375 details. (Dave Rolsky)
377 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
378 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
379 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
380 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
381 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
385 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
386 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
387 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
388 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
389 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
392 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
396 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
397 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
399 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
402 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
406 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
407 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
408 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
409 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
411 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
412 immutable classes). (mo)
414 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
415 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
416 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
418 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
422 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
424 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
426 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
430 * Fix some indexing issues.
432 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
434 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
438 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
439 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
440 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
441 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
442 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
444 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
445 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
450 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
451 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
452 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
453 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
455 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
456 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
457 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
461 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
462 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
465 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
469 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
470 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
474 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
478 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
479 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
480 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
481 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
484 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
488 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
491 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
495 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
496 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
497 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
500 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
504 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
505 policy. (Chris Prather)
507 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
508 on this new support policy. (doy)
512 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
513 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
514 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
516 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
517 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
519 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
523 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
524 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
525 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
526 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
529 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
533 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
534 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
537 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
541 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
542 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
544 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
545 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
549 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
550 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
551 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
552 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
553 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
554 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
556 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
557 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
559 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
560 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
561 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
562 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
564 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
565 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
567 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
572 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
573 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
575 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
579 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
580 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
581 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
583 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
587 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
588 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
589 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
591 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
592 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
595 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
596 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
599 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
600 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
601 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
603 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
604 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
609 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
610 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
611 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
612 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
614 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
615 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
617 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
618 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
620 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
621 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
622 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
623 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
625 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
626 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
627 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
630 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
631 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
632 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
633 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
635 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
636 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
639 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
640 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
641 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
643 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
647 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
648 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
649 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
651 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
652 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
653 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
656 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
657 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
658 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
660 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
661 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
662 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
664 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
665 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
669 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
670 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
671 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
673 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
674 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
675 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
676 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
678 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
682 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
683 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
684 value is a reference.
686 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
687 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
689 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
693 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
694 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
695 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
697 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
701 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
702 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
706 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
707 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
708 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
710 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
711 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
712 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
714 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
718 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
720 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
724 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
726 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
727 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
732 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
733 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
735 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
736 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
737 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
738 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
739 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
741 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
742 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
743 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
744 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
746 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
750 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
751 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
756 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
758 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
760 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
765 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
767 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
771 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
772 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
773 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
775 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
776 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
777 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
778 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
780 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
781 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
782 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
783 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
784 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
787 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
792 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
793 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
794 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
795 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
796 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
799 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
803 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
806 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
807 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
811 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
812 function (not just method). (doy)
816 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
817 and aren't easily installable/testable.
819 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
823 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
824 to be overridden more easily (doy).
826 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
830 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
831 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
833 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
837 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
838 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
839 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
841 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
845 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
846 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
847 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
849 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
850 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
854 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
855 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
857 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
858 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
862 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
863 is applied to a class (t0m).
865 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
866 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
868 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
871 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
872 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
874 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
875 be much more robust. (doy)
877 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
879 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
882 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
886 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
887 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
889 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
893 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
894 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
896 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
899 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
900 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
901 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
903 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
904 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
905 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
908 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
910 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
914 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
915 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
919 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
921 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
925 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
926 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
930 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
931 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
935 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
937 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
941 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
942 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
946 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
947 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
951 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
952 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
954 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
958 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
959 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
960 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
963 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
967 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
968 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
969 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
970 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
972 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
976 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
977 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
978 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
982 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
985 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
989 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
990 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
991 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
995 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
996 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
998 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
999 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
1000 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
1001 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
1003 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
1007 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
1011 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
1012 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
1014 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
1015 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
1016 - Moose::Util::does_role
1017 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
1018 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
1019 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
1021 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
1025 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
1026 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
1027 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
1030 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1034 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
1035 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
1038 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1042 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
1043 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
1046 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
1050 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
1052 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
1053 class. (Dave Rolsky).
1055 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
1056 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
1057 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
1059 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
1060 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
1061 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
1064 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
1065 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1067 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
1068 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
1069 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
1071 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
1073 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
1074 substr et al, again. (sorear)
1076 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
1078 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
1081 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
1082 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
1084 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
1085 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
1087 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
1088 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
1089 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
1090 dependencies installed.
1092 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
1093 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
1096 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
1098 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
1102 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1104 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1105 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
1106 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
1108 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1109 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
1110 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
1112 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
1113 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
1116 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
1117 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
1118 others. (nothingmuch)
1120 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1121 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
1122 remove_accessors. (doy)
1124 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1125 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
1126 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
1128 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
1129 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
1131 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
1132 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1133 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
1134 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
1136 * Moose::Meta::Class
1137 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
1138 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
1140 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1141 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
1143 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
1145 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
1146 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
1149 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1150 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
1151 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
1152 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
1153 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
1155 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
1156 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
1157 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
1158 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
1159 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
1160 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
1161 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
1164 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
1165 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
1166 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
1167 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
1168 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
1170 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
1171 which were not receiving the value of
1172 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
1173 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
1174 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
1175 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
1179 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
1180 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
1181 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
1182 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
1183 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
1186 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1187 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
1188 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
1189 - added tests for this (Stevan)
1191 * Moose::Meta::Class
1192 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
1193 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
1194 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
1197 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
1198 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1199 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
1201 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1202 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
1203 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
1206 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
1207 class if you pass it options for
1208 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
1209 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
1210 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
1211 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
1212 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
1213 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
1214 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
1215 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
1216 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
1218 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1219 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
1220 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
1221 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
1222 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
1225 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
1226 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1227 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
1228 existing delegation API. (hdp)
1230 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1231 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
1232 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
1233 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
1234 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
1235 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
1238 * Moose::Error::Croak
1239 * Moose::Error::Confess
1240 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
1241 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
1244 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
1247 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
1248 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
1249 installing a broken sub. (doy)
1251 * Moose::Meta::Class
1252 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
1255 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
1256 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1257 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
1259 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1260 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1261 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
1262 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
1263 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
1265 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1266 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
1269 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
1271 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1272 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1275 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1276 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1278 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1279 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1280 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1281 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1283 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1284 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1285 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1286 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1287 using it for new code!
1289 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1290 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1291 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1292 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1294 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1295 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1296 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1297 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1298 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1299 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1300 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1301 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1304 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1307 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1308 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1311 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1312 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1314 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1315 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1316 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1318 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1319 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1320 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1321 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1323 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1324 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1325 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1327 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1328 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1329 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1332 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1333 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1334 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1335 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1336 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1337 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1339 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1341 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1344 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1345 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1346 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1348 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1349 associated_methods. (hdp)
1350 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1351 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1352 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1353 misspelled) arguments
1355 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1356 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1357 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1358 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1360 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1361 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1362 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1364 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1367 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1368 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1369 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1372 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1373 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1375 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1376 * Moose::Meta::Class
1377 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1378 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1380 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1381 * Moose::Manual::Types
1382 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1383 string parsing rathole (mst)
1385 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1386 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1387 using plain objects instead
1389 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1390 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1391 that's what we need.
1393 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1394 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1395 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1396 three times today (perigrin)
1397 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1398 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1400 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1401 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1402 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1403 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1406 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1407 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1408 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1409 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1410 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1411 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1414 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1415 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1416 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1417 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1420 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1422 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1425 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1427 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1430 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1431 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1432 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1436 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1437 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1440 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1441 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1443 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1444 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1445 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1447 * Moose::Unsweetened
1448 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1450 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1451 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1454 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1458 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1459 methods during global destruction (doy)
1461 * Moose::Meta::Class
1462 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1463 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1464 consumption (Sartak)
1466 * Moose::Meta::Class
1467 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1468 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1471 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1472 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1475 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1476 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1478 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1480 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1484 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1485 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1486 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1489 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1490 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1491 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1494 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1496 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1497 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1498 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1501 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1502 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1503 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1504 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1506 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1507 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1508 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1511 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1514 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1515 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1516 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1520 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1521 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1523 * Moose::Meta::Class
1524 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1526 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1528 * Moose::Meta::Class
1529 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1530 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1533 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1534 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1537 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1538 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1541 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1544 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1546 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1547 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1550 * Moose::Meta::Class
1551 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1553 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1554 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1557 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1558 * More deprecations and renamings
1559 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1560 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1561 when an object is constructed)
1564 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1565 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1566 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1568 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1569 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1570 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1571 feature, and it works again.
1574 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1576 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1578 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1579 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1580 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1582 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1583 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1584 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1585 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1586 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1588 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1589 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1590 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1591 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1592 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1595 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1596 metaclass object. (hdp)
1598 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1599 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1600 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1601 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1602 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1603 point out this fact. (hdp)
1605 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1606 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1608 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1609 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1611 * Moose::Meta::Class
1612 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1613 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1614 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1615 called during instance construction were passed the
1616 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1617 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1619 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1620 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1623 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1624 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1625 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1628 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1629 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1630 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1631 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1632 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1634 - Moose::Meta::Class
1635 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1637 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1638 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1639 when an object is constructed)
1640 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1642 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1643 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1644 when an object is constructed)
1645 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1646 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1647 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1650 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1652 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1653 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1655 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1657 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1658 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1659 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1661 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1662 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1663 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1665 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1667 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1668 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1670 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1671 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1674 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1675 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1678 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1679 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1680 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1682 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1683 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1687 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1688 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1689 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1691 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1692 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1695 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1696 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1697 with recommended workarounds.
1699 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1700 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1702 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1703 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1704 (yes, spelled like that).
1706 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1707 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1709 * Moose::Meta::Class
1710 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1711 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1713 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1715 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1716 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1717 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1718 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1719 instead. Reported by doy.
1721 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1723 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1724 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1726 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1727 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1728 message) is now deprecated.
1729 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1730 often got it wrong. For example:
1732 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1734 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1738 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1739 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1740 bite you in weird cases.
1742 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1743 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1744 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1745 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1747 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1748 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1752 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1755 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1756 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1759 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1760 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1762 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1763 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1766 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1767 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1768 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1769 - added tests for this (stevan)
1771 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1772 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1773 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1774 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1778 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1779 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1780 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1781 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1783 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1784 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1785 - added tests for this (rafl)
1787 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1788 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1789 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1790 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1794 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1795 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1798 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1799 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1800 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1802 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1804 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1805 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1807 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1808 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1809 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1810 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1811 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1813 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1814 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1815 error message did not specify the attribute name
1818 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1820 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1822 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1823 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1824 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1826 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1827 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1830 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1832 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1833 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1834 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1835 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1837 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1839 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1840 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1841 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1842 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1844 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1845 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1846 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1848 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1849 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1850 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1851 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1852 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1854 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1855 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1856 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1857 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1858 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1860 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1861 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1862 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1863 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1864 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1865 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1867 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1868 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1869 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1870 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1871 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1872 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1874 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1875 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1877 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1878 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1879 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1880 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1882 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1883 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1886 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1890 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1891 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1893 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1894 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1895 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1896 guts. (nothingmuch).
1898 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1899 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1900 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1902 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1903 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1904 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1905 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1907 * Moose::Meta::Class
1908 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1911 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1912 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1914 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1915 * Moose::Unsweetened
1916 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1919 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1920 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1921 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1922 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1923 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1924 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1926 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1927 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1928 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1929 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1930 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1931 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1932 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1933 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1934 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1935 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1937 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1939 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1940 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1942 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1943 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1944 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1945 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1947 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1948 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1949 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1950 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1951 same methods for a single role did not work
1952 right (worked just fine with multiple
1954 - added test for this (stevan)
1956 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1957 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1958 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1961 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1962 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1963 - added test for this (t0m)
1966 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1967 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1968 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1970 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1971 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1972 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1973 - added test for this (t0m)
1975 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1976 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1977 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1978 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1979 - added test for this (perigrin)
1982 - create method for constructing a role
1983 dynamically (Sartak)
1984 - added test for this (Sartak)
1985 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1986 - added test for this (Sartak)
1989 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1991 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1992 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1993 methods is useful (Sartak)
1995 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1996 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1997 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
2000 * Moose::Meta::Class
2001 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
2002 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
2003 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
2004 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
2005 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
2006 - added tests for this (jdv79)
2009 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
2010 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
2012 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
2013 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
2014 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
2015 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
2016 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
2018 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
2020 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
2021 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2022 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
2025 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
2026 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
2027 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
2028 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
2029 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
2030 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
2033 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2034 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
2035 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
2036 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
2037 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
2038 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
2039 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
2040 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
2041 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
2042 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
2043 future. (jnapiorkowski)
2045 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2046 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
2049 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2050 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
2051 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
2052 type. (jnapiorkowski)
2053 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2055 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
2057 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
2058 predicate, and link to more details sections in
2059 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
2061 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2062 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
2064 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2065 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
2066 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
2067 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2070 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
2071 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
2073 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
2075 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
2076 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
2078 * Moose::Meta::Class
2079 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
2080 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
2081 a required attribute
2083 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
2084 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
2085 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
2086 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
2088 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2089 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
2091 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2092 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
2093 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
2094 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
2095 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
2096 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
2097 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
2098 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
2100 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
2101 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
2102 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
2104 * Roles and role application
2105 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
2106 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
2107 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
2108 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
2109 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
2111 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
2112 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
2115 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
2116 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
2117 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
2118 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
2119 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
2122 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
2123 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
2124 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
2125 changes in the Moose internals.
2127 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
2128 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2129 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
2132 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2133 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
2134 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
2135 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
2137 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2138 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
2139 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
2140 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
2142 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2143 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
2144 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
2145 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
2146 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
2147 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
2148 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
2149 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
2150 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
2151 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
2152 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
2153 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
2154 constraint implementations.
2156 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
2160 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
2161 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
2162 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
2163 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
2164 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
2165 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
2166 - added tests for this (rafl)
2168 * Moose::Meta::Class
2169 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
2170 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
2171 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
2172 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
2173 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
2174 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
2175 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
2176 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
2179 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
2180 - added tests for this (thepler)
2182 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2183 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
2184 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
2185 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
2188 * Moose::Meta::Class
2189 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2190 * Moose::Meta::Method
2193 * Moose::Error::Default
2194 * Moose::Error::Croak
2195 * Moose::Error::Confess
2196 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
2197 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
2198 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
2199 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
2200 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
2201 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
2203 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
2205 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
2206 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
2208 * Moose::Unsweetened
2209 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
2210 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
2211 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
2213 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2214 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
2215 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
2216 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
2217 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2220 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
2221 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
2223 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
2224 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
2225 several major changes in this release of Moose.
2226 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
2229 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
2231 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
2232 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
2234 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
2237 - Various bug fixes.

2244 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
2245 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2246 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2247 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
2248 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
2249 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)

2262 dependency to 0.64_07.
2264 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
2265 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
2266 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
2268 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2269 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
2272 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2273 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
2274 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
2275 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
2276 coincidental exception. (t0m).
2277 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2279 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2280 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
2282 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2284 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
2285 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
2289 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
2290 method when that method was provided by another role being
2291 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
2292 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
2294 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008

2301 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
2302 - added test for this (t0m)
2304 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2305 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
2306 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
2308 - added test for this (t0m)
2311 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
2312 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
2313 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
2316 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
2317 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
2319 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
2321 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
2322 easier (Dave Rolsky)
2324 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2325 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
2326 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
2328 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2329 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
2332 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2333 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2

2335 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
2339 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
2340 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
2341 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)

2345 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
2346 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
2347 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
2350 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
2354 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash

2356 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
2358 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
2359 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2360 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
2361 created so that the process can be more easily

2396 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
2397 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
2399 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2400 ... this is not my day today ...
2402 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2403 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2404 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2405 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2406 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2409 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2410 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2411 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2412 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2413 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2416 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2418 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2419 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
2420 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
2421 this is not ever something you want to do
2422 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
2423 - added tests for this (stevan)
2426 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
2428 - added test for this

2437 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
2439 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
2440 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
2441 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
2444 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
2446 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
2448 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
2451 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2452 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2453 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2454 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2455 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2456 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2457 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2458 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2459 - added tests for this
2461 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2462 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
2463 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
2464 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
2466 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)

2535 which was causing the indexer to choke
2537 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2538 (late night release engineering)--
2540 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
2541 changes in this release

2554 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
2557 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2558 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
2559 method for immutablization to check if the
2560 destructor object even needs to be created
2563 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2564 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2565 - added more descriptive error message to help
2566 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
2567 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
2569 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
2571 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
2572 XS based functionality is now optional
2573 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2574 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2575 can now be used to force non-XS versions
2577 - several of the packages have been tweaked
2578 to take care of this, mostly we added
2579 support for the package_name and name
2580 variables in all the Method metaclasses
2581 - before/around/after method modifiers now
2582 support regexp matching of names
2583 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2584 - tests added for this
2585 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
2586 is currently not supported in roles,
2587 but, ... patches welcome
2588 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2589 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2590 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2593 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2594 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2595 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2596 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
2597 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
2598 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
2599 - added test for this
2601 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2602 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
2603 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
2606 * Moose::Meta::Class
2607 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
2611 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
2613 - added tests for this
2614 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
2615 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)

2623 called by the inlined immutable
2625 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
2627 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
2628 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
2629 (if possible) to create the anon-class
2630 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)

2645 show where the error is (thanks mst)
2648 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
2649 ->body when looping through the
2650 methods, to avoid the overloaded
2652 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
2653 eating the $@ values, and so not
2654 working correctly, it still kind of
2655 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
2656 - added tests for this
2658 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
2659 - added new recipe for immutable
2660 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)

2678 drink more coffee before
2679 doing release engineering
2681 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,

2715 - added test for this
2717 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor

2793 0.40 Fri. March 14, 2008
2794 - I hate Pod::Coverage
2796 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2798 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
2799 that come from recently composed roles. It makes
2800 sense, people are using it, and so why not just
2801 officially support it.
2802 - fixing the 'extends' keyword so that it will not
2803 trigger Ovid's bug (http://use.perl.org/~Ovid/journal/35763)
2806 - added the perl -Moose=+Class::Name feature to allow
2807 monkeypatching of classes in one liners

2838 from a role, it works and makes sense too.
2840 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2841 - fix handles so that it doesn't return nothing
2842 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
2843 it ever did this originally, this means we now
2844 have slightly better support for AUTOLOADed
2846 - added more delegation tests
2847 - adding ->does method to this so as to better
2848 support traits and their introspection.
2849 - added tests for this

3089 - added tests for this
3092 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
3093 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

3132 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
3135 - fixed how required methods are handled
3136 when they encounter overriden or modified
3137 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
3138 - added tests for this
3140 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
3141 - fixed the type notation parser so that
3142 the | always creates a union and so is
3143 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
3144 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
3146 - added more tests for this
3148 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
3151 * Parameterized Types
3152 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
3153 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
3154 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
3155 They can also be nested:
3156 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
3157 And work with the type unions as well:
3158 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
3160 * Better Framework Extendability
3161 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
3162 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
3163 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
3164 section of the Moose.pm docs.
3167 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
3168 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
3169 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
3170 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

3415 - added tests and docs for this
3417 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3418 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3419 - added test for this

3424 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3425 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3427 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3428 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3431 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3433 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3434 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3435 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3438 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3439 !! for this developer release to work !!
3441 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3442 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3443 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3444 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3445 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3446 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3447 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3448 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3449 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3450 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3451 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3453 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3454 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3455 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3456 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3459 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3460 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3461 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3462 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3463 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3465 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3467 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3468 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3471 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3472 called unless they actually need to be.
3473 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3474 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3475 DEMOLISH method present.
3477 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3478 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3479 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3480 type constraint, which allows for a
3481 hand optimized version of the type
3482 constraint to be used when possible.
3483 - Any internally created type constraints
3484 now provide an optimized version as well.
3486 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3488 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3489 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3490 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3492 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3493 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3494 your class namespace of these exported
3497 * Moose::Meta::Class
3498 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3499 comes up during global destruction
3501 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3505 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3508 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3509 - changed how we do type checks so that
3510 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3513 - moved accessor generation methods to
3514 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3515 conform to the API changes from
3518 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3519 - changed how constraints are compiled
3520 so that we do less recursion and more
3521 iteration. This makes the type check
3523 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3526 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3527 - created this from methods formerly found in
3528 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3530 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3531 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3533 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3534 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3536 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3537 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3539 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3541 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3542 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3543 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3544 - added tests for this
3545 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3546 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3547 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3548 - removed tests for this
3550 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3552 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3553 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3554 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3557 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3558 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3559 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3561 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3562 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3563 comments for more info.
3566 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3567 asked questions and common problems
3569 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3570 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3571 - added tests for this
3573 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3574 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3575 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3576 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3578 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3579 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3582 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3583 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3584 is much appreciated :)
3585 - added tests for this
3587 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3588 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3589 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3592 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3593 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3595 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3597 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3598 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3602 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3603 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3604 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3606 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3608 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3611 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3612 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3613 keywords because we need to localize them.
3614 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3616 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3617 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3618 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3621 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3624 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3625 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3626 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3629 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3630 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3631 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3633 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3635 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3636 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3637 bottom of your class file.
3640 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3643 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3645 - improved error message when loading modules so
3646 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3647 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3648 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3651 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3652 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3653 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3655 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3656 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3658 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3659 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3660 turn them on for you.
3661 - added tests for this
3662 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3663 in Moose::Meta::Class
3666 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
3667 automatically turned on for you.

3671 - now handles an edge case for override errors
3672 - added tests for this

3686 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
3689 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
3690 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3691 - This release works in combination with
3692 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3693 release because it uses the a new
3694 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3695 complete Role implementation. It has
3696 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3697 the the previous CPAN version. This
3698 release also lacks good updated docs,
3699 the official release will have updated docs.
3702 - refactored the keyword exports
3703 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3704 accepts more than one Role at a time
3705 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3706 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3709 - refactored the keyword exports
3710 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3711 accepts more than one Role at a time
3713 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3714 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3715 string enumerations which can be used as
3717 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3720 - more careful checking of params to new()
3723 - much work done on the role composition
3724 - many new tests for conflict detection
3725 and composition edge cases
3726 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3727 looking at the tests
3729 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3730 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3731 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3733 * Moose::Meta::Class
3734 - some small changes to support the new
3736 - some small additions to support Roles
3738 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3739 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3741 - some small changes to support the new
3743 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3744 with the 'handles' option
3745 - added several tests for this
3746 - no docs for this yet
3748 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
3750 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3751 thanks to chansen for this commit
3752 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3753 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3754 on a per-attribute basis
3755 - added tests for this
3756 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3757 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3758 experimental feature and probably not finished
3759 see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
3760 more details, or ask about it on #moose
3761 - added tests for this
3764 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter

3776 construct_instance (for the better)
3778 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

3823 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
3825 - added test for this
3828 - this class can now be extended with 'use base' if
