1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * The optimize_as option for type constraints has been deprecated. Use the
9 inline_as option to provide inlining code instead. (Dave Rolsky)
13 * Methods to introspect a class's methods will now return methods defined in
14 UNIVERSAL (isa, can, etc.). This also means that you can wrap these
15 methods with method modifiers. RT #69839. Reported by Vyacheslav
16 Matyukhin. (Dave Rolsky)
18 * The ->parent and ->parents method for a union now return the nearest
19 common ancestor of that union's component types. See Moose::Manual::Delta
20 for more details. (Dave Rolsky)
22 * The ->parents method used to return an arrayref for union types, and a
23 list of one or more types for all other types. Now they all return
26 * The ->is_subtype_of and ->is_a_type_of methods have changed their
27 behavior. Previously, they returned true if any of their member types
28 returned true for a given type. Now, all of the member types must return
29 true. Fixes RT #67731. (Dave Rolsky)
33 * The Moose::Exporter module now has a "meta_lookup" option when creating an
34 importer. This allows you to specify an alternate method for determining
35 the metaclass of a caller. This is useful for modules like
36 MooseX::Role::Parameterized which generate new metaclasses on the
39 * Added a Moose::Meta::Method->is_stub method. (Dave Rolsky)
43 * A subtype of a union type did not return the right results when you called
44 ->is_subtype_of or ->is_a_type_of on it. This has been fixed. RT
47 * An attribute accessor or delegation method can overwrite a stub method and
48 this will no longer throw an error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. Fixes
49 RT 69988. (Dave Rolsky)
51 * The error generated by unfulfilled method requirements during role
52 composition now mentions how to work around imported methods not being
53 recognized. Reported by Michael Schwern. Fixes RT 60583. (doy)
55 * class_type and role_type will now throw errors if you attempt to use them
56 to override existing types, just like type and subtype have always done.
59 * Implicitly creating class or role types by using them as the 'isa' or
60 'does' parameter to attribute construction will now register the type. This
61 means that it cannot later be redefined as something else. (doy)
63 * $class_type->is_subtype_of no longer returns true if passed the name of the
64 class that the class type represents when the class type wasn't registered.
67 * Removing anonymous metaclasses prematurely no longer prevents reaping of
68 the associated stash. (doy)
72 * The Class::MOP::load_class and Class::MOP::is_class_loaded subroutines are
73 no longer documented, and will cause a deprecation warning in the
74 future. Moose now uses Class::Load to provide this functionality, and you
75 should as well. (Dave Rolsky)
77 2.0205 Tue, Sep 06, 2011
81 * The Array and Hash native traits now provide a "shallow_clone" method,
82 which will return a reference to a new container with the same contents as
83 the attribute's reference.
87 * Specifying an invalid value in a hashref 'handles' value now throws a
88 sensible error. Fixes RT #69990. (Dave Rolsky)
92 * When specifying an attribute trait, passing options for the trait besides
93 -alias or -excludes caused a warning. However, passing other options is
94 totally valid when using MooseX::Role::Parameterized. Fixes RT
97 * Allow regexp objects in duck_type constraints (to bring this in line with
98 the Object constraint).
100 2.0204 Thu, Aug 25, 2011
104 * Validating duck_type type constraint turned out to work only by accident,
105 and only when not running under the debugger. This has been fixed.
110 * Loosen the dependency on ExtUtils::ParseXS.
112 2.0203 Tue, Aug 23, 2011
116 * is_class_loaded now properly detects packages which have a version object
119 * Fix XS compilation under blead.
121 2.0202 Tue, Jul 26, 2011
125 * Be more consistent about how type constraint messages are handled.
127 2.0201 Fri, Jul 22, 2011
131 * Moose::Util::does_role shouldn't call ->does on things that don't inherit
134 * Make ->does initialize the metaclass, so that calling it as a class method
135 on a class which sets up inheritance via some method other than extends
136 works properly (this fixes an issue with MooseX::Types).
138 * Make Dist::CheckConflicts a runtime requirement, so moose-outdated always
141 2.0200 Mon, Jul 18, 2011
145 * No changes from 2.0105 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
147 2.0105-TRIAL Mon, Jun 27, 2011
151 * Moose::Util::does_role now respects overridden ->does methods. (doy)
153 2.0104-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
157 * Include changes from 2.0010.
159 2.0103-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
163 * Several things that have been deprecated for a while have been removed. See
164 the 2.0000 section in Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
168 * New Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::union function for creating union type
169 constraints without having to rely on the string type constraint parsing.
170 This also allows for creating unions of anonymous type constraints.
175 * Include changes from Moose 2.0009.
177 2.0102-TRIAL Sat, Jun 18, 2011
181 * The native Array trait now has a 'first_index' method, which works just
182 like the version in List::MoreUtils. (Karen Etheridge)
184 * Clean up some internal code to help out extensions.
188 * Include changes from Moose 2.0008.
190 2.0101-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
194 * Various packaging issues.
196 2.0100-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
200 * Using a hand-optimized type constraint is now deprecated. In keeping with
201 our release policy, this won't actually start warning until the 2.0200
206 * Type constraints can now provide inlined versions, which should make
207 inlined code which uses type constraints (such as accessors) faster. This
208 replaces the existing hand-optimized constraint feature. (Dave Rolsky)
212 * Remove a lot of cases where generated methods closed over meta objects.
213 Most simple cases should now only close over simple data types and
214 coderefs. This should make deparsing simpler.
216 2.0010 Mon, Jun 20, 2011
220 * Fix regression in 2.0009 and 2.0103 when applying roles during init_meta in
221 an exporter that also re-exports Moose or Moose::Role. (t0m, ilmari)
223 2.0009 Sun, Jun 19, 2011
227 * duck_type type constraints now report reasonable errors when given
228 something which isn't an instance of an object. (t0m)
230 * Moose::Util::apply_all_roles now works even if the applicant is a non-Moose
233 * When an object is reblessed, triggers are called on attributes that are
234 set during the reblessing. (Karen Etheridge).
238 * Better error message if Moose->init_meta is called with a 'metaclass'
239 option when that metaclass hasn't been loaded. (jasonmay)
241 2.0008 Thu, Jun 16, 2011
245 * The 'accessor' native delegation for hashrefs now allows setting the value
246 to undef. (sugoik, doy)
250 * Various generated methods have more useful context information. (doy)
252 2.0007 Sun, May 15, 2011
256 * Make sure weak attributes remain weak when cloning. (doy, rafl)
258 2.0006 Mon, May 09, 2011
262 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
263 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
265 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
269 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
271 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
275 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
277 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
278 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
280 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
284 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
285 skips every other role. (rjbs)
287 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
288 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
289 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
290 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
291 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
293 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
297 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
298 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
299 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
302 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
307 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
309 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
310 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
312 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
316 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
317 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
318 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
322 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
323 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
325 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
326 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
328 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
329 environments. (doy, mateu)
331 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
335 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
336 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
337 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
338 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
342 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
343 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
345 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
349 * Update conflicts list.
352 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
356 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
357 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
358 details. (Dave Rolsky)
360 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
361 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
362 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
363 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
364 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
368 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
369 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
370 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
371 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
372 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
375 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
379 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
380 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
382 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
385 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
389 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
390 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
391 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
392 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
394 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
395 immutable classes). (mo)
397 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
398 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
399 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
401 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
405 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
407 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
409 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
413 * Fix some indexing issues.
415 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
417 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
421 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
422 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
423 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
424 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
425 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
427 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
428 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
433 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
434 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
435 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
436 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
438 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
439 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
440 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
444 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
445 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
448 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
452 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
453 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
457 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
461 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
462 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
463 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
464 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
467 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
471 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
474 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
478 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
479 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
480 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
483 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
487 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
488 policy. (Chris Prather)
490 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
491 on this new support policy. (doy)
495 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
496 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
497 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
499 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
500 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
502 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
506 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
507 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
508 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
509 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
512 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
516 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
517 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
520 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
524 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
525 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
527 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
528 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
532 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
533 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
534 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
535 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
536 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
537 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
539 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
540 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
542 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
543 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
544 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
545 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
547 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
548 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
550 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
555 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
556 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
558 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
562 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
563 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
564 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
566 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
570 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
571 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
572 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
574 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
575 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
578 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
579 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
582 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
583 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
584 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
586 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
587 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
592 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
593 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
594 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
595 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
597 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
598 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
600 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
601 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
603 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
604 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
605 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
606 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
608 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
609 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
610 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
613 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
614 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
615 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
616 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
618 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
619 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
622 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
623 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
624 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
626 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
630 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
631 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
632 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
634 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
635 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
636 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
639 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
640 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
641 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
643 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
644 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
645 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
647 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
648 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
652 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
653 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
654 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
656 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
657 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
658 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
659 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
661 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
665 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
666 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
667 value is a reference.
669 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
670 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
672 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
676 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
677 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
678 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
680 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
684 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
685 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
689 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
690 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
691 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
693 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
694 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
695 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
697 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
701 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
703 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
707 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
709 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
710 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
715 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
716 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
718 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
719 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
720 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
721 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
722 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
724 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
725 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
726 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
727 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
729 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
733 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
734 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
739 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
741 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
743 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
748 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
750 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
754 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
755 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
756 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
758 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
759 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
760 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
761 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
763 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
764 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
765 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
766 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
767 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
770 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
775 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
776 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
777 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
778 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
779 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
782 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
786 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
789 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
790 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
794 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
795 function (not just method). (doy)
799 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
800 and aren't easily installable/testable.
802 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
806 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
807 to be overridden more easily (doy).
809 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
813 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
814 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
816 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
820 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
821 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
822 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
824 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
828 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
829 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
830 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
832 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
833 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
837 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
838 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
840 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
841 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
845 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
846 is applied to a class (t0m).
848 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
849 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
851 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
854 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
855 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
857 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
858 be much more robust. (doy)
860 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
862 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
865 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
869 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
870 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
872 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
876 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
877 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
879 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
882 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
883 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
884 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
886 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
887 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
888 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
891 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
893 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
897 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
898 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
902 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
904 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
908 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
909 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
913 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
914 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
918 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
920 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
924 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
925 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
929 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
930 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
934 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
935 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
937 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
941 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
942 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
943 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
946 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
950 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
951 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
952 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
953 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
955 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
959 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
960 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
961 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
965 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
968 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
972 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
973 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
974 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
978 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
979 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
981 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
982 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
983 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
984 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
986 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
990 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
994 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
995 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
997 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
998 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
999 - Moose::Util::does_role
1000 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
1001 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
1002 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
1004 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
1008 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
1009 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
1010 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
1013 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1017 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
1018 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
1021 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1025 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
1026 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
1029 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
1033 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
1035 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
1036 class. (Dave Rolsky).
1038 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
1039 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
1040 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
1042 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
1043 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
1044 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
1047 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
1048 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1050 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
1051 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
1052 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
1054 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
1056 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
1057 substr et al, again. (sorear)
1059 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
1061 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
1064 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
1065 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
1067 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
1068 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
1070 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
1071 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
1072 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
1073 dependencies installed.
1075 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
1076 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
1079 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
1081 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
1085 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1087 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1088 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
1089 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
1091 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1092 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
1093 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
1095 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
1096 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
1099 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
1100 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
1101 others. (nothingmuch)
1103 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1104 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
1105 remove_accessors. (doy)
1107 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1108 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
1109 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
1111 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
1112 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
1114 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
1115 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1116 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
1117 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
1119 * Moose::Meta::Class
1120 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
1121 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
1123 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1124 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
1126 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
1128 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
1129 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
1132 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1133 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
1134 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
1135 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
1136 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
1138 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
1139 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
1140 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
1141 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
1142 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
1143 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
1144 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
1147 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
1148 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
1149 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
1150 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
1151 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
1153 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
1154 which were not receiving the value of
1155 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
1156 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
1157 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
1158 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
1162 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
1163 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
1164 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
1165 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
1166 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
1169 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1170 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
1171 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
1172 - added tests for this (Stevan)
1174 * Moose::Meta::Class
1175 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
1176 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
1177 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
1180 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
1181 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1182 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
1184 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1185 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
1186 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
1189 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
1190 class if you pass it options for
1191 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
1192 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
1193 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
1194 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
1195 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
1196 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
1197 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
1198 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
1199 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
1201 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1202 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
1203 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
1204 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
1205 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
1208 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
1209 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1210 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
1211 existing delegation API. (hdp)
1213 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1214 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
1215 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
1216 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
1217 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
1218 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
1221 * Moose::Error::Croak
1222 * Moose::Error::Confess
1223 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
1224 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
1227 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
1230 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
1231 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
1232 installing a broken sub. (doy)
1234 * Moose::Meta::Class
1235 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
1238 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
1239 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1240 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
1242 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1243 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1244 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
1245 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
1246 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
1248 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1249 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
1252 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
1254 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1255 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1258 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1259 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1261 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1262 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1263 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1264 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1266 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1267 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1268 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1269 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1270 using it for new code!
1272 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1273 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1274 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1275 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1277 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1278 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1279 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1280 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1281 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1282 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1283 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1284 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1287 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1290 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1291 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1294 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1295 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1297 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1298 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1299 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1301 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1302 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1303 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1304 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1306 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1307 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1308 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1310 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1311 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1312 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1315 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1316 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1317 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1318 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1319 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1320 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1322 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1324 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1327 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1328 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1329 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1331 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1332 associated_methods. (hdp)
1333 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1334 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1335 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1336 misspelled) arguments
1338 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1339 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1340 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1341 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1343 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1344 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1345 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1347 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1350 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1351 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1352 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1355 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1356 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1358 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1359 * Moose::Meta::Class
1360 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1361 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1363 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1364 * Moose::Manual::Types
1365 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1366 string parsing rathole (mst)
1368 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1369 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1370 using plain objects instead
1372 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1373 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1374 that's what we need.
1376 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1377 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1378 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1379 three times today (perigrin)
1380 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1381 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1383 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1384 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1385 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1386 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1389 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1390 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1391 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1392 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1393 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1394 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1397 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1398 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1399 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1400 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1403 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1405 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1408 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1410 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1413 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1414 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1415 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1419 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1420 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1423 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1424 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1426 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1427 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1428 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1430 * Moose::Unsweetened
1431 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1433 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1434 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1437 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1441 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1442 methods during global destruction (doy)
1444 * Moose::Meta::Class
1445 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1446 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1447 consumption (Sartak)
1449 * Moose::Meta::Class
1450 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1451 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1454 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1455 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1458 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1459 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1461 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1463 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1467 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1468 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1469 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1472 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1473 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1474 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1477 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1479 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1480 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1481 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1484 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1485 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1486 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1487 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1489 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1490 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1491 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1494 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1497 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1498 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1499 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1503 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1504 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1506 * Moose::Meta::Class
1507 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1509 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1511 * Moose::Meta::Class
1512 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1513 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1516 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1517 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1520 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1521 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1524 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1527 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1529 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1530 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1533 * Moose::Meta::Class
1534 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1536 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1537 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1540 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1541 * More deprecations and renamings
1542 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1543 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1544 when an object is constructed)
1547 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1548 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1549 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1551 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1552 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1553 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1554 feature, and it works again.
1557 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1559 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1561 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1562 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1563 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1565 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1566 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1567 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1568 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1569 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1571 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1572 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1573 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1574 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1575 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1578 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1579 metaclass object. (hdp)
1581 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1582 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1583 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1584 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1585 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1586 point out this fact. (hdp)
1588 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1589 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1591 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1592 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1594 * Moose::Meta::Class
1595 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1596 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1597 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1598 called during instance construction were passed the
1599 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1600 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1602 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1603 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1606 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1607 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1608 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1611 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1612 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1613 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1614 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1615 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1617 - Moose::Meta::Class
1618 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1620 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1621 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1622 when an object is constructed)
1623 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1625 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1626 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1627 when an object is constructed)
1628 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1629 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1630 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1633 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1635 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1636 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1638 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1640 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1641 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1642 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1644 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1645 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1646 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1648 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1650 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1651 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1653 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1654 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1657 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1658 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1661 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1662 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1663 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1665 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1666 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1670 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1671 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1672 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1674 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1675 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1678 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1679 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1680 with recommended workarounds.
1682 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1683 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1685 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1686 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1687 (yes, spelled like that).
1689 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1690 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1692 * Moose::Meta::Class
1693 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1694 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1696 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1698 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1699 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1700 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1701 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1702 instead. Reported by doy.
1704 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1706 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1707 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1709 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1710 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1711 message) is now deprecated.
1712 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1713 often got it wrong. For example:
1715 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1717 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1721 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1722 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1723 bite you in weird cases.
1725 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1726 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1727 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1728 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1730 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1731 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1735 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1738 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1739 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1742 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1743 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1745 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1746 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1749 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1750 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1751 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1752 - added tests for this (stevan)
1754 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1755 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1756 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1757 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1761 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1762 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1763 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1764 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1766 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1767 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1768 - added tests for this (rafl)
1770 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1771 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1772 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1773 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1777 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1778 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1781 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1782 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1783 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1785 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1787 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1788 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1790 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1791 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1792 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1793 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1794 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1796 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1797 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1798 error message did not specify the attribute name
1801 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1803 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1805 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1806 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1807 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1809 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1810 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1813 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1815 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1816 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1817 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1818 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1820 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1822 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1823 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1824 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1825 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1827 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1828 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1829 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1831 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1832 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1833 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1834 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1835 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1837 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1838 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1839 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1840 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1841 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1843 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1844 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1845 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1846 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1847 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1848 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1850 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1851 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1852 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1853 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1854 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1855 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1857 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1858 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1860 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1861 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1862 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1863 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1865 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1866 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1869 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1873 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1874 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1876 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1877 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1878 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1879 guts. (nothingmuch).
1881 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1882 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1883 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1885 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1886 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1887 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1888 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1890 * Moose::Meta::Class
1891 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1894 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1895 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1897 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1898 * Moose::Unsweetened
1899 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1902 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1903 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1904 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1905 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1906 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1907 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1909 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1910 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1911 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1912 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1913 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1914 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1915 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1916 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1917 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1918 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1920 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1922 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1923 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1925 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1926 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1927 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1928 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1930 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1931 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1932 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1933 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1934 same methods for a single role did not work
1935 right (worked just fine with multiple
1937 - added test for this (stevan)
1939 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1940 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1941 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1944 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1945 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1946 - added test for this (t0m)
1949 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1950 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1951 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1953 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1954 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1955 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1956 - added test for this (t0m)
1958 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1959 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1960 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1961 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1962 - added test for this (perigrin)
1965 - create method for constructing a role
1966 dynamically (Sartak)
1967 - added test for this (Sartak)
1968 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1969 - added test for this (Sartak)
1972 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1974 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1975 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1976 methods is useful (Sartak)
1978 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1979 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1980 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1983 * Moose::Meta::Class
1984 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1985 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1986 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1987 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1988 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1989 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1992 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1993 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1995 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1996 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1997 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1998 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1999 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
2001 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
2003 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
2004 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2005 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
2008 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
2009 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
2010 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
2011 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
2012 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
2013 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
2016 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2017 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
2018 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
2019 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
2020 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
2021 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
2022 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
2023 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
2024 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
2025 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
2026 future. (jnapiorkowski)
2028 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2029 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
2032 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2033 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
2034 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
2035 type. (jnapiorkowski)
2036 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2038 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
2040 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
2041 predicate, and link to more details sections in
2042 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
2044 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2045 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
2047 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2048 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
2049 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
2050 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2053 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
2054 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
2056 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
2058 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
2059 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
2061 * Moose::Meta::Class
2062 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
2063 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
2064 a required attribute
2066 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
2067 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
2068 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
2069 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
2071 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2072 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
2074 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2075 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
2076 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
2077 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
2078 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
2079 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
2080 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
2081 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
2083 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
2084 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
2085 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
2087 * Roles and role application
2088 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
2089 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
2090 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
2091 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
2092 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
2094 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
2095 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
2098 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
2099 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
2100 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
2101 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
2102 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
2105 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
2106 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
2107 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
2108 changes in the Moose internals.
2110 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
2111 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2112 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
2115 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2116 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
2117 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
2118 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
2120 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2121 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
2122 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
2123 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
2125 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2126 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
2127 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
2128 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
2129 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
2130 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
2131 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
2132 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
2133 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
2134 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
2135 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
2136 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
2137 constraint implementations.
2139 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
2143 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
2144 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
2145 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
2146 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
2147 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
2148 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
2149 - added tests for this (rafl)
2151 * Moose::Meta::Class
2152 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
2153 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
2154 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
2155 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
2156 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
2157 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
2158 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
2159 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
2162 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
2163 - added tests for this (thepler)
2165 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2166 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
2167 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
2168 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
2171 * Moose::Meta::Class
2172 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2173 * Moose::Meta::Method
2176 * Moose::Error::Default
2177 * Moose::Error::Croak
2178 * Moose::Error::Confess
2179 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
2180 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
2181 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
2182 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
2183 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
2184 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
2186 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
2188 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
2189 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
2191 * Moose::Unsweetened
2192 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
2193 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
2194 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
2196 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2197 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
2198 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
2199 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
2200 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2203 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
2204 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
2206 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
2207 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
2208 several major changes in this release of Moose.
2209 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
2212 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
2214 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
2215 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
2217 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
2220 - Various bug fixes.

2227 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
2228 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2229 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2230 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
2231 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
2232 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)

2248 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
2249 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
2251 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2252 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
2255 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2256 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
2257 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
2258 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
2259 coincidental exception. (t0m).
2260 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2262 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2263 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
2265 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2267 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
2268 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
2272 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
2273 method when that method was provided by another role being
2274 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
2275 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
2277 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008

2284 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
2285 - added test for this (t0m)
2287 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2288 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
2289 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
2291 - added test for this (t0m)
2294 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
2295 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
2296 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
2299 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
2300 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
2302 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
2304 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
2305 easier (Dave Rolsky)
2307 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2308 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
2309 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
2311 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2312 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
2315 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2316 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2

2318 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
2322 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
2323 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
2324 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)

2328 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
2329 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
2330 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
2333 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
2337 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash

2339 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
2341 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
2342 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2343 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
2344 created so that the process can be more easily

2370 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2371 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
2374 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2375 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
2379 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
2380 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
2382 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2383 ... this is not my day today ...
2385 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2386 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2387 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2388 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2389 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2392 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2393 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2394 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2395 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2396 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2399 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2401 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2402 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
2403 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
2404 this is not ever something you want to do
2405 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
2406 - added tests for this (stevan)
2409 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
2411 - added test for this

2420 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
2422 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
2423 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
2424 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
2427 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
2429 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
2431 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
2434 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2435 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2436 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2437 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2438 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2439 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2440 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2441 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2442 - added tests for this
2444 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2445 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
2446 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
2447 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
2449 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)

2515 (early morning release engineering)--
2517 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2518 which was causing the indexer to choke
2520 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2521 (late night release engineering)--
2523 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
2524 changes in this release

2532 since it is called so often by &meta
2534 * Moose::Meta::Class
2536 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
2537 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
2540 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2541 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
2542 method for immutablization to check if the
2543 destructor object even needs to be created
2546 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2547 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2548 - added more descriptive error message to help
2549 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
2550 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
2552 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
2554 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
2555 XS based functionality is now optional
2556 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2557 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2558 can now be used to force non-XS versions
2560 - several of the packages have been tweaked
2561 to take care of this, mostly we added
2562 support for the package_name and name
2563 variables in all the Method metaclasses
2564 - before/around/after method modifiers now
2565 support regexp matching of names
2566 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2567 - tests added for this
2568 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
2569 is currently not supported in roles,
2570 but, ... patches welcome
2571 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2572 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2573 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2576 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2577 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2578 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2579 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
2580 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
2581 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
2582 - added test for this
2584 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2585 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
2586 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
2589 * Moose::Meta::Class
2590 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
2594 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
2596 - added tests for this
2597 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
2598 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2600 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2601 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
2602 themselves parameterizable types
2604 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2605 - fixed bug where trigger was not being
2606 called by the inlined immutable
2608 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
2610 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
2611 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
2612 (if possible) to create the anon-class
2613 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
2615 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
2616 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe

2628 show where the error is (thanks mst)
2631 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
2632 ->body when looping through the
2633 methods, to avoid the overloaded
2635 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
2636 eating the $@ values, and so not
2637 working correctly, it still kind of
2638 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
2639 - added tests for this
2641 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
2642 - added new recipe for immutable
2643 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2645 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe9

2661 drink more coffee before
2662 doing release engineering
2664 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
2665 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr
2666 modules. This fixes that.

2669 - some bad tests slipped by, nothing else
2670 changed in this release (cpantesters++)

2679 - Changed all usage of die to Carp::croak for better
2680 error reporting (initial patch by Tod Hagan)
2682 ** IMPORTANT NOTE **
2683 - the make_immutable keyword is now deprecated, don't
2684 use it in any new code and please fix your old code
2685 as well. There will be 2 releases, and then it will

2698 - added test for this
2700 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor

2779 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2781 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
2782 that come from recently composed roles. It makes
2783 sense, people are using it, and so why not just
2784 officially support it.
2785 - fixing the 'extends' keyword so that it will not
2786 trigger Ovid's bug (http://use.perl.org/~Ovid/journal/35763)

2821 from a role, it works and makes sense too.
2823 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2824 - fix handles so that it doesn't return nothing
2825 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
2826 it ever did this originally, this means we now
2827 have slightly better support for AUTOLOADed
2829 - added more delegation tests
2830 - adding ->does method to this so as to better
2831 support traits and their introspection.
2832 - added tests for this

3072 - added tests for this
3075 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
3076 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

3118 - fixed how required methods are handled
3119 when they encounter overriden or modified
3120 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
3121 - added tests for this
3123 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint

3131 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
3134 * Parameterized Types
3135 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
3136 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
3137 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
3138 They can also be nested:
3139 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
3140 And work with the type unions as well:
3141 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
3143 * Better Framework Extendability
3144 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
3145 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
3146 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
3147 section of the Moose.pm docs.
3150 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
3151 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
3152 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
3153 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

3388 so that you can actually document your
3389 attributes and inspect them through the

3393 * Moose::Meta::Class
3394 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3395 it will first look in for the class in the
3396 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3397 then default to just loading $name.
3398 - added tests and docs for this
3400 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3401 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3402 - added test for this
3405 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh

3407 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3408 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3410 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3411 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3414 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3416 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3417 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3418 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3421 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3422 !! for this developer release to work !!
3424 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3425 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3426 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3427 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3428 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3429 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3430 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3431 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3432 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3433 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3434 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3436 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3437 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3438 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3439 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3442 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3443 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3444 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3445 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3446 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3448 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3450 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3451 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3454 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3455 called unless they actually need to be.
3456 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3457 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3458 DEMOLISH method present.
3460 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3461 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3462 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3463 type constraint, which allows for a
3464 hand optimized version of the type
3465 constraint to be used when possible.
3466 - Any internally created type constraints
3467 now provide an optimized version as well.
3469 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3471 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3472 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3473 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3475 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3476 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3477 your class namespace of these exported
3480 * Moose::Meta::Class
3481 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3482 comes up during global destruction
3484 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3488 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3491 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3492 - changed how we do type checks so that
3493 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3496 - moved accessor generation methods to
3497 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3498 conform to the API changes from
3501 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3502 - changed how constraints are compiled
3503 so that we do less recursion and more
3504 iteration. This makes the type check
3506 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3509 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3510 - created this from methods formerly found in
3511 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3513 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3514 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3516 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3517 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3519 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3520 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3522 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3524 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3525 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3526 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3527 - added tests for this
3528 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3529 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3530 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3531 - removed tests for this
3533 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3535 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3536 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3537 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3540 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3541 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3542 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3544 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3545 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3546 comments for more info.
3549 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3550 asked questions and common problems
3552 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3553 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3554 - added tests for this
3556 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3557 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3558 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3559 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3561 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3562 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3565 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3566 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3567 is much appreciated :)
3568 - added tests for this
3570 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3571 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3572 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3575 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3576 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3578 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3580 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3581 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3585 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3586 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3587 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3589 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3591 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3594 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3595 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3596 keywords because we need to localize them.
3597 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3599 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3600 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3601 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3604 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3607 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3608 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3609 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3612 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3613 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3614 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3616 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3618 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3619 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3620 bottom of your class file.
3623 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3626 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3628 - improved error message when loading modules so
3629 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3630 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3631 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3634 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3635 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3636 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3638 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3639 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3641 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3642 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3643 turn them on for you.
3644 - added tests for this
3645 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3646 in Moose::Meta::Class
3649 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
3650 automatically turned on for you.

3654 - now handles an edge case for override errors
3655 - added tests for this

3669 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
3672 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
3673 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3674 - This release works in combination with
3675 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3676 release because it uses the a new
3677 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3678 complete Role implementation. It has
3679 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3680 the the previous CPAN version. This
3681 release also lacks good updated docs,
3682 the official release will have updated docs.
3685 - refactored the keyword exports
3686 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3687 accepts more than one Role at a time
3688 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3689 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3692 - refactored the keyword exports
3693 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3694 accepts more than one Role at a time
3696 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3697 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3698 string enumerations which can be used as
3700 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3703 - more careful checking of params to new()
3706 - much work done on the role composition
3707 - many new tests for conflict detection
3708 and composition edge cases
3709 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3710 looking at the tests
3712 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3713 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3714 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3716 * Moose::Meta::Class
3717 - some small changes to support the new
3719 - some small additions to support Roles
3721 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3722 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3724 - some small changes to support the new
3726 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3727 with the 'handles' option
3728 - added several tests for this
3729 - no docs for this yet
3731 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
3733 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3734 thanks to chansen for this commit
3735 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3736 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3737 on a per-attribute basis
3738 - added tests for this
3739 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3740 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3741 experimental feature and probably not finished
3742 see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
3743 more details, or ask about it on #moose
3744 - added tests for this
3747 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter

3759 construct_instance (for the better)
3761 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

3806 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
3808 - added test for this
3811 - this class can now be extended with 'use base' if
3812 you need it, it properly loads the metaclass class now
