1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
6 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
10 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
11 skips every other role. (rjbs)
13 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
14 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
15 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
16 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
17 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
19 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
23 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
24 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
25 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
28 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
33 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
35 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
36 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
38 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
42 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
43 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
44 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
48 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
49 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
51 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
52 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
54 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
55 environments. (doy, mateu)
57 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
61 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
62 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
63 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
64 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
68 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
69 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
71 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
75 * Update conflicts list.
78 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
82 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
83 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
84 details. (Dave Rolsky)
86 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
87 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
88 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
89 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
90 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
94 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
95 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
96 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
97 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
98 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
101 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
105 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
106 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
108 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
111 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
115 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
116 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
117 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
118 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
120 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
121 immutable classes). (mo)
123 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
124 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
125 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
127 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
131 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
133 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
135 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
139 * Fix some indexing issues.
141 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
143 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
147 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
148 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
149 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
150 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
151 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
153 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
154 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
159 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
160 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
161 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
162 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
164 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
165 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
166 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
170 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
171 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
174 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
178 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
179 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
183 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
187 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
188 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
189 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
190 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
193 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
197 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
200 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
204 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
205 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
206 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
209 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
213 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
214 policy. (Chris Prather)
216 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
217 on this new support policy. (doy)
221 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
222 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
223 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
225 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
226 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
228 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
232 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
233 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
234 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
235 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
238 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
242 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
243 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
246 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
250 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
251 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
253 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
254 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
258 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
259 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
260 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
261 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
262 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
263 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
265 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
266 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
268 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
269 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
270 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
271 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
273 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
274 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
276 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
281 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
282 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
284 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
288 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
289 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
290 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
292 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
296 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
297 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
298 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
300 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
301 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
304 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
305 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
308 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
309 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
310 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
312 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
313 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
318 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
319 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
320 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
321 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
323 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
324 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
326 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
327 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
329 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
330 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
331 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
332 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
334 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
335 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
336 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
339 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
340 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
341 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
342 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
344 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
345 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
348 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
349 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
350 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
352 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
356 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
357 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
358 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
360 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
361 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
362 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
365 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
366 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
367 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
369 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
370 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
371 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
373 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
374 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
378 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
379 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
380 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
382 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
383 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
384 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
385 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
387 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
391 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
392 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
393 value is a reference.
395 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
396 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
398 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
402 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
403 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
404 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
406 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
410 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
411 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
415 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
416 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
417 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
419 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
420 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
421 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
423 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
427 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
429 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
433 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
435 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
436 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
441 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
442 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
444 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
445 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
446 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
447 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
448 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
450 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
451 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
452 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
453 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
455 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
459 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
460 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
465 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
467 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
469 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
474 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
476 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
480 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
481 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
482 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
484 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
485 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
486 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
487 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
489 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
490 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
491 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
492 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
493 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
496 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
501 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
502 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
503 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
504 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
505 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
508 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
512 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
515 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
516 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
520 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
521 function (not just method). (doy)
525 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
526 and aren't easily installable/testable.
528 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
532 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
533 to be overridden more easily (doy).
535 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
539 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
540 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
542 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
546 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
547 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
548 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
550 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
554 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
555 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
556 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
558 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
559 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
563 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
564 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
566 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
567 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
571 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
572 is applied to a class (t0m).
574 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
575 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
577 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
580 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
581 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
583 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
584 be much more robust. (doy)
586 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
588 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
591 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
595 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
596 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
598 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
602 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
603 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
605 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
608 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
609 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
610 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
612 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
613 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
614 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
617 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
619 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
623 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
624 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
628 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
630 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
634 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
635 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
639 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
640 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
644 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
646 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
650 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
651 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
655 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
656 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
660 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
661 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
663 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
667 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
668 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
669 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
672 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
676 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
677 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
678 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
679 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
681 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
685 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
686 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
687 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
691 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
694 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
698 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
699 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
700 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
704 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
705 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
707 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
708 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
709 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
710 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
712 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
716 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
720 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
721 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
723 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
724 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
725 - Moose::Util::does_role
726 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
727 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
728 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
730 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
734 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
735 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
736 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
739 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
743 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
744 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
747 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
751 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
752 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
755 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
759 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
761 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
762 class. (Dave Rolsky).
764 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
765 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
766 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
768 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
769 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
770 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
773 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
774 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
776 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
777 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
778 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)

782 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
783 substr et al, again. (sorear)
785 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
787 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
790 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
791 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
793 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
794 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
796 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
797 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
798 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
799 dependencies installed.
801 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
802 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
805 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
807 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
811 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
813 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
814 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
815 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
817 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
818 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
819 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
821 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
822 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
825 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
826 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
827 others. (nothingmuch)
829 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
830 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
831 remove_accessors. (doy)
833 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
834 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
835 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
837 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
838 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
840 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
841 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
842 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
843 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
846 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
847 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
849 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
850 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
852 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
854 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
855 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
858 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
859 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
860 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
861 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
862 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
864 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
865 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
866 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
867 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
868 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
869 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
870 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
873 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
874 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
875 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
876 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
877 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
879 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
880 which were not receiving the value of
881 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
882 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
883 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
884 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
888 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
889 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
890 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
891 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
892 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
895 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
896 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
897 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
898 - added tests for this (Stevan)
901 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
902 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
903 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
906 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
907 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
908 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
910 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
911 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
912 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
915 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
916 class if you pass it options for
917 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
918 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
919 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
920 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
921 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
922 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
923 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
924 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
925 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
927 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
928 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
929 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
930 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
931 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
934 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
935 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
936 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
937 existing delegation API. (hdp)
939 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
940 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
941 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
942 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
943 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
944 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
947 * Moose::Error::Croak
948 * Moose::Error::Confess
949 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
950 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
953 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
956 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
957 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
958 installing a broken sub. (doy)
961 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
964 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
965 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
966 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
968 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
969 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
970 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
971 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
972 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
974 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
975 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
978 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
980 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
981 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
984 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
985 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
987 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
988 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
989 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
990 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
992 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
993 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
994 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
995 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
996 using it for new code!
998 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
999 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1000 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1001 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1003 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1004 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1005 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1006 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1007 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1008 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1009 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1010 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1013 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1016 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1017 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1020 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1021 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1023 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1024 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1025 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1027 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1028 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1029 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1030 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1032 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1033 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1034 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1036 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1037 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1038 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1041 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1042 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1043 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1044 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1045 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1046 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1048 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1050 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1053 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1054 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1055 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1057 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1058 associated_methods. (hdp)
1059 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1060 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1061 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1062 misspelled) arguments
1064 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1065 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1066 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1067 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1069 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1070 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1071 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1073 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1076 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1077 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1078 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1081 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1082 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1084 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1085 * Moose::Meta::Class
1086 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1087 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1089 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1090 * Moose::Manual::Types
1091 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1092 string parsing rathole (mst)
1094 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1095 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1096 using plain objects instead
1098 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1099 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1100 that's what we need.
1102 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1103 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1104 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1105 three times today (perigrin)
1106 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1107 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1109 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1110 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1111 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1112 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1115 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1116 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1117 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1118 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1119 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1120 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1123 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1124 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1125 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1126 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1129 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1131 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1134 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1136 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1139 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1140 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1141 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1145 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1146 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1149 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1150 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1152 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1153 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1154 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1156 * Moose::Unsweetened
1157 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1159 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1160 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1163 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1167 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1168 methods during global destruction (doy)
1170 * Moose::Meta::Class
1171 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1172 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1173 consumption (Sartak)
1175 * Moose::Meta::Class
1176 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1177 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1180 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1181 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1184 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1185 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1187 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1189 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1193 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1194 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1195 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1198 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1199 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1200 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1203 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1205 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1206 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1207 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1210 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1211 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1212 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1213 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1215 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1216 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1217 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1220 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1223 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1224 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1225 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1229 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1230 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1232 * Moose::Meta::Class
1233 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1235 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1237 * Moose::Meta::Class
1238 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1239 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1242 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1243 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1246 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1247 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1250 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1253 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1255 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1256 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1259 * Moose::Meta::Class
1260 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1262 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1263 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1266 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1267 * More deprecations and renamings
1268 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1269 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1270 when an object is constructed)
1273 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1274 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1275 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1277 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1278 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1279 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1280 feature, and it works again.
1283 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1285 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1287 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1288 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1289 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1291 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1292 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1293 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1294 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1295 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1297 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1298 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1299 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1300 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1301 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1304 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1305 metaclass object. (hdp)
1307 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1308 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1309 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1310 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1311 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1312 point out this fact. (hdp)
1314 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1315 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1317 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1318 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1320 * Moose::Meta::Class
1321 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1322 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1323 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1324 called during instance construction were passed the
1325 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1326 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1328 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1329 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1332 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1333 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1334 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1337 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1338 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1339 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1340 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1341 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1343 - Moose::Meta::Class
1344 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1346 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1347 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1348 when an object is constructed)
1349 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1351 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1352 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1353 when an object is constructed)
1354 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1355 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1356 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1359 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1361 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1362 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1364 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1366 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1367 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1368 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1370 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1371 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1372 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1374 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1376 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1377 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1379 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1380 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1383 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1384 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1387 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1388 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1389 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1391 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1392 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1396 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1397 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1398 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1400 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1401 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1404 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1405 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1406 with recommended workarounds.
1408 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1409 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1411 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1412 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1413 (yes, spelled like that).
1415 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1416 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1418 * Moose::Meta::Class
1419 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1420 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1422 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1424 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1425 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1426 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1427 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1428 instead. Reported by doy.
1430 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1432 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1433 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1435 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1436 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1437 message) is now deprecated.
1438 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1439 often got it wrong. For example:
1441 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1443 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1447 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1448 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1449 bite you in weird cases.
1451 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1452 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1453 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1454 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1456 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1457 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1461 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1464 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1465 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1468 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1469 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1471 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1472 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1475 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1476 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1477 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1478 - added tests for this (stevan)
1480 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1481 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1482 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1483 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1487 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1488 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1489 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1490 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1492 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1493 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1494 - added tests for this (rafl)
1496 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1497 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1498 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1499 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1503 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1504 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1507 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1508 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1509 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1511 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1513 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1514 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1516 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1517 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1518 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1519 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1520 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1522 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1523 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1524 error message did not specify the attribute name
1527 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1529 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1531 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1532 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1533 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1535 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1536 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1539 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1541 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1542 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1543 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1544 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1546 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1548 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1549 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1550 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1551 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1553 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1554 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1555 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1557 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1558 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1559 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1560 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1561 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1563 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1564 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1565 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1566 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1567 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1569 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1570 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1571 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1572 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1573 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1574 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1576 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1577 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1578 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1579 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1580 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1581 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1583 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1584 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1586 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1587 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1588 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1589 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1591 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1592 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1595 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1599 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1600 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1602 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1603 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1604 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1605 guts. (nothingmuch).
1607 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1608 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1609 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1611 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1612 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1613 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1614 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1616 * Moose::Meta::Class
1617 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1620 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1621 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1623 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1624 * Moose::Unsweetened
1625 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1628 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1629 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1630 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1631 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1632 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1633 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1635 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1636 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1637 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1638 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1639 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1640 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1641 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1642 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1643 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1644 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1646 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1648 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1649 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1651 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1652 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1653 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1654 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1656 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1657 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1658 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1659 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1660 same methods for a single role did not work
1661 right (worked just fine with multiple
1663 - added test for this (stevan)
1665 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1666 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1667 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1670 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1671 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1672 - added test for this (t0m)
1675 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1676 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1677 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1679 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1680 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1681 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1682 - added test for this (t0m)
1684 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1685 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1686 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1687 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1688 - added test for this (perigrin)
1691 - create method for constructing a role
1692 dynamically (Sartak)
1693 - added test for this (Sartak)
1694 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1695 - added test for this (Sartak)
1698 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1700 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1701 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1702 methods is useful (Sartak)
1704 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1705 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1706 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1709 * Moose::Meta::Class
1710 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1711 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1712 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1713 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1714 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1715 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1718 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1719 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1721 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1722 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1723 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1724 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1725 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1727 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1729 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1730 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1731 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1734 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1735 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1736 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1737 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1738 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1739 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1742 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1743 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1744 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1745 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1746 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1747 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1748 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1749 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1750 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1751 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1752 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1754 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1755 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1758 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1759 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1760 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1761 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1762 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1764 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1766 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1767 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1768 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1770 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1771 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1773 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1774 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1775 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1776 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1779 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1780 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1782 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1784 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1785 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1787 * Moose::Meta::Class
1788 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1789 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1790 a required attribute
1792 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1793 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1794 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1795 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1797 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1798 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1800 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1801 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1802 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1803 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1804 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1805 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1806 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1807 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1809 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1810 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1811 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1813 * Roles and role application
1814 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1815 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1816 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1817 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1818 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1820 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1821 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1824 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1825 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1826 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1827 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1828 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1831 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1832 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1833 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1834 changes in the Moose internals.
1836 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1837 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1838 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1841 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1842 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1843 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1844 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1846 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1847 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1848 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1849 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1851 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1852 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1853 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1854 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1855 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1856 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1857 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1858 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1859 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1860 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1861 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1862 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1863 constraint implementations.
1865 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1869 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1870 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1871 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1872 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1873 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1874 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1875 - added tests for this (rafl)
1877 * Moose::Meta::Class
1878 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1879 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1880 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1881 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1882 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1883 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1884 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1885 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1888 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1889 - added tests for this (thepler)
1891 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1892 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1893 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1894 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1897 * Moose::Meta::Class
1898 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1899 * Moose::Meta::Method
1902 * Moose::Error::Default
1903 * Moose::Error::Croak
1904 * Moose::Error::Confess
1905 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1906 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1907 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1908 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1909 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1910 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1912 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1914 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1915 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1917 * Moose::Unsweetened
1918 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1919 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1920 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1922 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1923 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1924 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1925 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1926 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1929 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1930 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1932 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1933 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1934 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1935 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1938 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1940 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1941 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1943 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1946 - Various bug fixes.
1948 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1949 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1951 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1953 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1954 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1955 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1956 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1957 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1958 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1960 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1961 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1962 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1964 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1965 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1966 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1969 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1970 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1971 dependency to 0.64_07.
1973 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1974 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1975 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1977 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1978 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1981 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1982 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1983 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1984 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1985 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1986 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1988 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1989 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1991 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1993 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1994 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1998 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1999 method when that method was provided by another role being
2000 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
2001 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
2003 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
2005 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
2006 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
2008 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2009 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
2010 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
2011 - added test for this (t0m)
2013 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2014 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
2015 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
2017 - added test for this (t0m)
2020 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
2021 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
2022 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
2025 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
2026 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
2028 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
2030 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
2031 easier (Dave Rolsky)
2033 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2034 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
2035 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
2037 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2038 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
2041 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2042 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2043 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
2044 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
2048 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
2049 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
2050 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)

2108 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2109 ... this is not my day today ...
2111 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2112 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2113 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2114 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2115 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2118 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2119 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2120 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2121 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2122 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2125 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2127 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2128 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)

2160 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2161 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2162 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2163 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2164 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2165 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2166 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2167 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2168 - added tests for this
2170 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2171 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to

2281 XS based functionality is now optional
2282 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2283 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2284 can now be used to force non-XS versions

2744 0.32 Tues. Dec. 4, 2007
2745 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2746 - fixing how subtype aliases of unions work
2747 they should inherit the parent's coercion
2748 - added tests for this
2749 - you can now define multiple coercions on
2750 a single type at different times instead of
2751 having to do it all in one place
2752 - added tests for this
2754 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2755 - there is now a default constraint of sub { 1 }
2756 instead of Moose::Util::TypeConstraints setting
2759 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2760 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2761 - added the &has_coercion_for_type and
2762 &add_type_coercions methods to support the
2763 new features above (although you cannot add
2764 more type coercions for Union types)
2766 0.31 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
2767 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2768 - made the +attr syntax handle extending types with
2769 parameters. So "has '+foo' => (isa => 'ArrayRef[Int]')"
2770 now works if the original foo is an ArrayRef.
2771 - added tests for this.
2772 - delegation now works even if the attribute does not
2773 have a reader method using the get_read_method_ref
2774 method from Class::MOP::Attribute.
2775 - added tests for this
2776 - added docs for this
2778 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2779 - passing no "additional attribute info" to
2780 &find_or_create_type_constraint will no longer
2781 attempt to create an __ANON__ type for you,
2782 instead it will just return undef.
2783 - added docs for this
2785 0.30 Fri. Nov. 23, 2007
2786 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2787 -builder related bug in inlined constructor. (groditi)

2796 - fixed it so that subtype 'Foo' => as 'HashRef[Int]' ...
2797 with work correctly.
2798 - added tests for this
2801 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2802 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code
2805 - New tests for builder bug. Upon instantiation, if an
2806 attribute had a builder, no value and was not lazy the
2807 builder default was not getting run, oops. (groditi)
2809 0.29 Tues. Nov. 13, 2007
2810 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2811 - Fix error message on missing builder method (groditi)

2818 builder method is missing (groditi)
2820 0.28 Tues. Nov. 13, 2007
2821 - 0.27 packaged incorrectly (groditi)
2823 0.27 Tues. Nov. 13, 2007

2840 * fixing some misc. bits in the docs that
2841 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
2844 - fixed how required methods are handled
2845 when they encounter overriden or modified
2846 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2847 - added tests for this
2849 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2850 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2851 the | always creates a union and so is
2852 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2853 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2855 - added more tests for this
2857 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2860 * Parameterized Types
2861 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2862 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2863 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2864 They can also be nested:
2865 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2866 And work with the type unions as well:
2867 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2869 * Better Framework Extendability
2870 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2871 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2872 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2873 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2876 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2877 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2878 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2879 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2882 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2884 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
2885 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)
2888 - added all the meta classes to the immutable list and
2889 set it to inline the accessors

2915 - fixed issue with generated accessor code making
2916 assumptions about hash based classes (thanks to dexter)
2918 * Moose::Coookbook::Snacks
2919 - these are bits of documentation, not quite as big as
2920 Recipes but which have no clear place in the module docs.
2921 So they are Snacks! (horray for castaway++)
2923 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe4
2924 - updated it to use the new ArrayRef[MyType] construct
2925 - updated the accompanying test as well
2927 +++ Major Refactor of the Type Constraint system +++
2928 +++ with new features added as well +++
2930 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2931 - no longer uses package variable to keep track of
2932 the type constraints, now uses the an instance of
2933 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry to do it
2934 - added more sophisticated type notation parsing
2936 - added tests for this
2938 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2939 - some minor adjustments to make subclassing easier
2940 - added the package_defined_in attribute so that we
2941 can track where the type constraints are created
2943 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2944 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
2945 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2947 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2948 - this has been added to service the newly refactored
2949 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union and is itself
2950 a subclass of Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion

2964 (thanks to shlomif).
2966 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2967 - required attributes now will no longer accept undef
2968 from the constructor, even if there is a default and lazy
2969 - added tests for this
2970 - default subroutines must return a value which passes the
2972 - added tests for this
2974 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2975 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2976 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor

3005 - This contains Moose specific test functions
3006 - added tests for these
3008 0.24 Tues. July 3, 2007
3009 ~ Some doc updates/cleanup ~
3011 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3012 - added support for roles to be given as parameters
3013 to the 'handles' option.
3014 - added tests and docs for this

3016 the lazy option, and the addition of a handles option
3017 (but not changing the handles option)
3018 - added tests and docs for this
3021 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
3022 so that required methods can come from superclasses
3023 - adjusted tests for this
3025 0.23 Mon. June 18, 2007
3026 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
3027 - fix inlined constructor for hierarchy with multiple BUILD methods (mst)

3033 the other side (perigrin)
3035 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
3036 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3037 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3038 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
3039 prototypes for functions
3040 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
3041 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

3051 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
3054 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
3055 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
3056 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
3057 - added tests for this
3059 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
3061 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

3074 where not handled correctly in roles
3075 - added tests for this
3077 * Moose::Meta::Class
3078 - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
3079 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
3080 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
3082 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
3083 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
3085 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
3086 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
3087 so this release is just to fix that.
3090 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
3091 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
3092 (thanks to konobi for this)
3093 - added tests and docs
3095 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
3096 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
3098 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3099 - 'type' now supports messages as well
3100 thanks to phaylon for finding this
3101 - added tests for this
3102 - added &list_all_type_constraints and
3103 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
3104 functions to facilitate introspection.
3106 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3107 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
3108 to build the list of delegated methods
3109 correctly (and not override important
3110 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
3112 - added tests and docs for this
3113 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3114 so that you can actually document your
3115 attributes and inspect them through the
3117 - added tests and docs for this
3119 * Moose::Meta::Class
3120 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3121 it will first look in for the class in the
3122 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3123 then default to just loading $name.
3124 - added tests and docs for this
3126 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3127 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3128 - added test for this
3131 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
3132 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
3133 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3134 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3136 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3137 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3140 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3142 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3143 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3144 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3147 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3148 !! for this developer release to work !!
3150 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3151 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3152 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3153 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3154 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3155 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3156 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3157 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3158 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3159 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3160 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3162 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3163 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3164 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3165 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3168 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3169 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3170 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3171 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3172 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3174 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3176 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3177 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3180 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3181 called unless they actually need to be.
3182 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3183 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3184 DEMOLISH method present.
3186 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3187 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3188 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3189 type constraint, which allows for a
3190 hand optimized version of the type
3191 constraint to be used when possible.
3192 - Any internally created type constraints
3193 now provide an optimized version as well.
3195 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3197 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3198 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3199 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3201 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3202 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3203 your class namespace of these exported
3206 * Moose::Meta::Class
3207 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3208 comes up during global destruction
3210 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3214 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3217 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3218 - changed how we do type checks so that
3219 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3222 - moved accessor generation methods to
3223 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3224 conform to the API changes from
3227 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3228 - changed how constraints are compiled
3229 so that we do less recursion and more
3230 iteration. This makes the type check
3232 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3235 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3236 - created this from methods formerly found in
3237 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3239 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3240 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3242 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3243 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3245 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3246 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3248 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3250 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3251 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3252 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3253 - added tests for this
3254 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3255 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3256 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3257 - removed tests for this
3259 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3261 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3262 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3263 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3266 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3267 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3268 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3270 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3271 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3272 comments for more info.
3275 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3276 asked questions and common problems
3278 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3279 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3280 - added tests for this
3282 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3283 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3284 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3285 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3287 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3288 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3291 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3292 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3293 is much appreciated :)
3294 - added tests for this
3296 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3297 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3298 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3301 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3302 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3304 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3306 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3307 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3311 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3312 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3313 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3315 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3317 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3320 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3321 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3322 keywords because we need to localize them.
3323 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3325 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3326 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3327 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3330 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3333 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3334 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3335 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3338 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3339 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3340 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3342 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3344 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3345 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3346 bottom of your class file.
3349 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3352 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3354 - improved error message when loading modules so
3355 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3356 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3357 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3360 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3361 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3362 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3364 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3365 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3367 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3368 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3369 turn them on for you.
3370 - added tests for this
3371 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3372 in Moose::Meta::Class
3375 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
3376 automatically turned on for you.
3377 - added tests for this
3380 - now handles an edge case for override errors
3381 - added tests for this
3382 - added some more edge case tests

3394 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3395 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
3398 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
3399 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3400 - This release works in combination with
3401 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3402 release because it uses the a new
3403 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3404 complete Role implementation. It has
3405 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3406 the the previous CPAN version. This
3407 release also lacks good updated docs,
3408 the official release will have updated docs.
3411 - refactored the keyword exports
3412 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3413 accepts more than one Role at a time
3414 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3415 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3418 - refactored the keyword exports
3419 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3420 accepts more than one Role at a time
3422 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3423 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3424 string enumerations which can be used as
3426 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3429 - more careful checking of params to new()
3432 - much work done on the role composition
3433 - many new tests for conflict detection
3434 and composition edge cases
3435 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3436 looking at the tests
3438 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3439 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3440 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3442 * Moose::Meta::Class

3459 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3460 thanks to chansen for this commit
3461 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3462 to support custom attribute meta-classes
