1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * Several things that have been deprecated for a while have been removed. See
9 the 2.0000 section in Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
13 * duck_type type constraints now report reasonable errors when given
14 something which isn't an instance of an object. (t0m)
16 * Moose::Util::apply_all_roles now works even if the applicant is a non-Moose
19 2.0102 Sat, Jun 18, 2011
23 * The native Array trait now has a 'first_index' method, which works just
24 like the version in List::MoreUtils. (Karen Etheridge)
26 * Clean up some internal code to help out extensions.
30 * Include changes from Moose 2.0008.
32 2.0101 Mon, Jun 06, 2011
36 * Various packaging issues.
38 2.0100 Mon, Jun 06, 2011
42 * Using a hand-optimized type constraint is now deprecated. In keeping with
43 our release policy, this won't actually start warning until the 2.0200
48 * Type constraints can now provide inlined versions, which should make
49 inlined code which uses type constraints (such as accessors) faster. This
50 replaces the existing hand-optimized constraint feature. (Dave Rolsky)
54 * Remove a lot of cases where generated methods closed over meta objects.
55 Most simple cases should now only close over simple data types and
56 coderefs. This should make deparsing simpler.
58 2.0008 Thu, Jun 16, 2011
62 * The 'accessor' native delegation for hashrefs now allows setting the value
63 to undef. (sugoik, doy)
67 * Various generated methods have more useful context information. (doy)
69 2.0007 Sun, May 15, 2011
73 * Make sure weak attributes remain weak when cloning. (doy, rafl)
75 2.0006 Mon, May 09, 2011
79 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
80 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
82 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
86 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
88 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
92 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
94 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
95 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
97 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
101 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
102 skips every other role. (rjbs)
104 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
105 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
106 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
107 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
108 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
110 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
114 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
115 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
116 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
119 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
124 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
126 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
127 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
129 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
133 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
134 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
135 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
139 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
140 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
142 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
143 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
145 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
146 environments. (doy, mateu)
148 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
152 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
153 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
154 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
155 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
159 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
160 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
162 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
166 * Update conflicts list.
169 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
173 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
174 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
175 details. (Dave Rolsky)
177 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
178 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
179 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
180 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
181 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
185 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
186 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
187 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
188 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
189 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
192 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
196 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
197 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
199 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
202 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
206 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
207 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
208 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
209 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
211 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
212 immutable classes). (mo)
214 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
215 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
216 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
218 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
222 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
224 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
226 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
230 * Fix some indexing issues.
232 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
234 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
238 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
239 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
240 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
241 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
242 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
244 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
245 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
250 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
251 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
252 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
253 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
255 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
256 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
257 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
261 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
262 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
265 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
269 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
270 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
274 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
278 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
279 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
280 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
281 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
284 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
288 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
291 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
295 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
296 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
297 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
300 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
304 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
305 policy. (Chris Prather)
307 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
308 on this new support policy. (doy)
312 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
313 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
314 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
316 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
317 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
319 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
323 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
324 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
325 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
326 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
329 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
333 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
334 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
337 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
341 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
342 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
344 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
345 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
349 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
350 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
351 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
352 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
353 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
354 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
356 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
357 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
359 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
360 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
361 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
362 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
364 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
365 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
367 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
372 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
373 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
375 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
379 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
380 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
381 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
383 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
387 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
388 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
389 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
391 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
392 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
395 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
396 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
399 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
400 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
401 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
403 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
404 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
409 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
410 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
411 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
412 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
414 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
415 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
417 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
418 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
420 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
421 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
422 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
423 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
425 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
426 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
427 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
430 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
431 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
432 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
433 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
435 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
436 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
439 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
440 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
441 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
443 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
447 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
448 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
449 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
451 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
452 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
453 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
456 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
457 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
458 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
460 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
461 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
462 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
464 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
465 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
469 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
470 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
471 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
473 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
474 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
475 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
476 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
478 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
482 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
483 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
484 value is a reference.
486 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
487 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
489 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
493 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
494 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
495 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
497 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
501 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
502 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
506 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
507 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
508 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
510 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
511 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
512 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
514 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
518 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
520 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
524 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
526 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
527 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
532 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
533 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
535 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
536 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
537 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
538 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
539 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
541 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
542 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
543 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
544 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
546 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
550 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
551 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
556 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
558 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
560 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
565 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
567 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
571 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
572 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
573 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
575 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
576 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
577 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
578 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
580 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
581 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
582 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
583 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
584 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
587 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
592 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
593 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
594 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
595 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
596 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
599 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
603 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
606 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
607 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
611 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
612 function (not just method). (doy)
616 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
617 and aren't easily installable/testable.
619 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
623 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
624 to be overridden more easily (doy).
626 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
630 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
631 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
633 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
637 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
638 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
639 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
641 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
645 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
646 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
647 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
649 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
650 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
654 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
655 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
657 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
658 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
662 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
663 is applied to a class (t0m).
665 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
666 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
668 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
671 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
672 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
674 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
675 be much more robust. (doy)
677 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
679 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
682 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
686 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
687 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
689 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
693 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
694 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
696 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
699 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
700 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
701 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
703 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
704 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
705 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
708 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
710 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
714 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
715 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
719 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
721 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
725 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
726 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
730 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
731 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
735 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
737 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
741 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
742 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
746 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
747 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
751 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
752 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
754 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
758 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
759 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
760 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
763 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
767 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
768 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
769 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
770 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
772 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
776 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
777 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
778 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
782 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
785 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
789 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
790 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
791 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
795 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
796 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
798 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
799 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
800 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
801 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
803 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
807 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
811 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
812 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
814 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
815 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
816 - Moose::Util::does_role
817 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
818 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
819 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
821 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
825 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
826 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
827 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
830 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
834 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
835 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
838 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
842 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
843 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
846 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
850 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
852 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
853 class. (Dave Rolsky).
855 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
856 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
857 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
859 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
860 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
861 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
864 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
865 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
867 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
868 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
869 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
871 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
873 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
874 substr et al, again. (sorear)
876 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
878 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
881 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
882 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
884 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
885 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
887 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
888 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
889 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
890 dependencies installed.
892 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
893 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
896 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
898 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
902 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
904 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
905 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
906 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
908 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
909 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
910 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
912 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
913 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
916 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
917 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
918 others. (nothingmuch)
920 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
921 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
922 remove_accessors. (doy)
924 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
925 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
926 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
928 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
929 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
931 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
932 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
933 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
934 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
937 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
938 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
940 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
941 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
943 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
945 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
946 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
949 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
950 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
951 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
952 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
953 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
955 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
956 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
957 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
958 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
959 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
960 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
961 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
964 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
965 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
966 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
967 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
968 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
970 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
971 which were not receiving the value of
972 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
973 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
974 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
975 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
979 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
980 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
981 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
982 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
983 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
986 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
987 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
988 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
989 - added tests for this (Stevan)
992 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
993 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
994 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
997 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
998 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
999 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
1001 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1002 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
1003 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
1006 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
1007 class if you pass it options for
1008 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
1009 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
1010 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
1011 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
1012 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
1013 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
1014 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
1015 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
1016 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
1018 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1019 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
1020 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
1021 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
1022 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
1025 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
1026 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1027 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
1028 existing delegation API. (hdp)
1030 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1031 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
1032 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
1033 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
1034 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
1035 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
1038 * Moose::Error::Croak
1039 * Moose::Error::Confess
1040 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
1041 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
1044 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
1047 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
1048 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
1049 installing a broken sub. (doy)
1051 * Moose::Meta::Class
1052 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
1055 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
1056 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1057 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
1059 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1060 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1061 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
1062 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
1063 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
1065 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1066 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
1069 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
1071 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1072 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1075 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1076 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1078 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1079 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1080 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1081 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1083 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1084 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1085 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1086 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1087 using it for new code!
1089 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1090 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1091 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1092 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1094 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1095 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1096 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1097 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1098 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1099 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1100 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1101 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1104 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1107 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1108 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1111 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1112 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1114 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1115 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1116 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1118 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1119 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1120 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1121 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1123 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1124 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1125 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1127 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1128 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1129 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1132 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1133 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1134 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1135 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1136 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1137 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1139 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1141 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1144 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1145 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1146 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1148 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1149 associated_methods. (hdp)
1150 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1151 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1152 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1153 misspelled) arguments
1155 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1156 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1157 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1158 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1160 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1161 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1162 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1164 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1167 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1168 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1169 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1172 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1173 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1175 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1176 * Moose::Meta::Class
1177 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1178 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1180 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1181 * Moose::Manual::Types
1182 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1183 string parsing rathole (mst)
1185 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1186 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1187 using plain objects instead
1189 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1190 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1191 that's what we need.
1193 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1194 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1195 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1196 three times today (perigrin)
1197 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1198 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1200 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1201 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1202 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1203 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1206 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1207 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1208 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1209 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1210 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1211 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1214 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1215 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1216 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1217 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1220 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1222 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1225 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1227 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1230 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1231 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1232 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1236 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1237 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1240 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1241 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1243 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1244 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1245 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1247 * Moose::Unsweetened
1248 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1250 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1251 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1254 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1258 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1259 methods during global destruction (doy)
1261 * Moose::Meta::Class
1262 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1263 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1264 consumption (Sartak)
1266 * Moose::Meta::Class
1267 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1268 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1271 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1272 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1275 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1276 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1278 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1280 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1284 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1285 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1286 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1289 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1290 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1291 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1294 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1296 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1297 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1298 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1301 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1302 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1303 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1304 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1306 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1307 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1308 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1311 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1314 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1315 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1316 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1320 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1321 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1323 * Moose::Meta::Class
1324 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1326 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1328 * Moose::Meta::Class
1329 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1330 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1333 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1334 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1337 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1338 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1341 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1344 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1346 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1347 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1350 * Moose::Meta::Class
1351 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1353 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1354 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1357 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1358 * More deprecations and renamings
1359 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1360 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1361 when an object is constructed)
1364 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1365 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1366 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1368 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1369 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1370 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1371 feature, and it works again.
1374 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1376 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1378 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1379 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1380 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1382 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1383 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1384 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1385 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1386 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1388 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1389 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1390 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1391 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1392 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1395 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1396 metaclass object. (hdp)
1398 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1399 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1400 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1401 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1402 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1403 point out this fact. (hdp)
1405 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1406 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1408 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1409 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1411 * Moose::Meta::Class
1412 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1413 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1414 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1415 called during instance construction were passed the
1416 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1417 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1419 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1420 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1423 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1424 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1425 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1428 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1429 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1430 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1431 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1432 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1434 - Moose::Meta::Class

1446 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1447 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1450 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1452 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1453 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1455 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1457 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1458 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1459 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1461 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1462 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1463 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1465 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1467 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1468 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1470 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1471 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1474 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1475 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1478 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1479 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1480 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1482 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1483 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1487 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1488 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1489 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1491 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1492 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1495 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1496 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1497 with recommended workarounds.
1499 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1500 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1502 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1503 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1504 (yes, spelled like that).
1506 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1507 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1509 * Moose::Meta::Class
1510 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1511 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1513 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1515 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1516 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1517 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1518 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1519 instead. Reported by doy.
1521 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1523 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1524 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1526 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1527 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1528 message) is now deprecated.
1529 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1530 often got it wrong. For example:
1532 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1534 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1538 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1539 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1540 bite you in weird cases.
1542 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1543 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1544 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1545 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1547 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1548 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1552 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1555 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1556 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1559 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1560 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1562 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1563 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1566 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1567 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1568 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1569 - added tests for this (stevan)
1571 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1572 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1573 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1574 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1578 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1579 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1580 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1581 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1583 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1584 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1585 - added tests for this (rafl)
1587 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1588 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1589 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1590 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1594 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1595 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1598 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1599 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1600 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1602 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1604 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1605 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1607 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1608 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1609 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1610 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1611 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1613 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1614 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1615 error message did not specify the attribute name
1618 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1620 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1622 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1623 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1624 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1626 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1627 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1630 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1632 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1633 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1634 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1635 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1637 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1639 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1640 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1641 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1642 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1644 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1645 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1646 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1648 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1649 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1650 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1651 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1652 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1654 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1655 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1656 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1657 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1658 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1660 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1661 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1662 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1663 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1664 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1665 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1667 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1668 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1669 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1670 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1671 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1672 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1674 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1675 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1677 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1678 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1679 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1680 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1682 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1683 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1686 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1690 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1691 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1693 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1694 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1695 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1696 guts. (nothingmuch).
1698 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1699 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1700 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1702 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1703 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1704 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1705 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1707 * Moose::Meta::Class
1708 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1711 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1712 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1714 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1715 * Moose::Unsweetened
1716 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1719 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1720 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1721 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1722 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1723 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1724 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1726 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1727 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1728 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1729 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1730 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1731 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1732 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1733 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1734 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1735 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1737 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1739 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1740 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1742 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1743 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1744 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1745 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1747 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1748 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1749 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1750 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1751 same methods for a single role did not work
1752 right (worked just fine with multiple
1754 - added test for this (stevan)
1756 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1757 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1758 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1761 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1762 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1763 - added test for this (t0m)
1766 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1767 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1768 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1770 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1771 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1772 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1773 - added test for this (t0m)
1775 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1776 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1777 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1778 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1779 - added test for this (perigrin)
1782 - create method for constructing a role
1783 dynamically (Sartak)
1784 - added test for this (Sartak)
1785 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1786 - added test for this (Sartak)
1789 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1791 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1792 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1793 methods is useful (Sartak)
1795 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1796 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1797 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1800 * Moose::Meta::Class
1801 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1802 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1803 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1804 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1805 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1806 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1809 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1810 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1812 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1813 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1814 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1815 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1816 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1818 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1820 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1821 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1822 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1825 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1826 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1827 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1828 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1829 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1830 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1833 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1834 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1835 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1836 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1837 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1838 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1839 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1840 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1841 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1842 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1843 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1845 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1846 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1849 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1850 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1851 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1852 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1853 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1855 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1857 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1858 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1859 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1861 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1862 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1864 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1865 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1866 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1867 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1870 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1871 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1873 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1875 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1876 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1878 * Moose::Meta::Class
1879 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1880 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1881 a required attribute
1883 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1884 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1885 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1886 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1888 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1889 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1891 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1892 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1893 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1894 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1895 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1896 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1897 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1898 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1900 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1901 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1902 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1904 * Roles and role application
1905 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1906 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1907 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1908 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1909 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1911 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1912 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1915 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1916 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1917 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1918 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1919 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1922 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1923 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1924 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1925 changes in the Moose internals.
1927 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1928 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1929 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1932 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1933 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1934 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1935 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1937 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1938 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1939 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1940 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1942 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1943 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1944 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1945 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1946 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1947 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1948 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1949 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1950 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1951 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1952 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1953 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1954 constraint implementations.
1956 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1960 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1961 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1962 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1963 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1964 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1965 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1966 - added tests for this (rafl)
1968 * Moose::Meta::Class
1969 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1970 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1971 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1972 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1973 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1974 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1975 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1976 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1979 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1980 - added tests for this (thepler)
1982 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1983 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1984 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1985 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1988 * Moose::Meta::Class
1989 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1990 * Moose::Meta::Method
1993 * Moose::Error::Default
1994 * Moose::Error::Croak
1995 * Moose::Error::Confess
1996 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1997 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1998 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1999 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
2000 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
2001 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
2003 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
2005 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
2006 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
2008 * Moose::Unsweetened
2009 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
2010 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
2011 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
2013 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2014 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
2015 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
2016 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
2017 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2020 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
2021 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
2023 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
2024 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
2025 several major changes in this release of Moose.
2026 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
2029 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
2031 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
2032 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
2034 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
2037 - Various bug fixes.
2039 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
2040 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
2042 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
2044 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
2045 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2046 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2047 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
2048 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
2049 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
2051 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2052 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
2053 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
2055 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
2056 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
2057 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
2060 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
2061 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
2062 dependency to 0.64_07.
2064 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
2065 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm

2075 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
2076 coincidental exception. (t0m).
2077 - added docs & test for this (t0m)

2200 ... this is not my day today ...
2202 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2203 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2204 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2205 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2206 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2209 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2210 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2211 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2212 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2213 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2216 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2218 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2219 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)

2251 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2252 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2253 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2254 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2255 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2256 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2257 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2258 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2259 - added tests for this
2261 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2262 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to

2761 classes when applicable
2763 * <<New Role composition features>>
2764 - methods can now be excluded from a given role
2766 - methods can now be aliased to another name (and

2770 - added this module (see above)
2772 * Moose::Meta::Class
2773 - fixed the &_process_attribute method to be called
2774 by &add_attribute, so that the API is now correct

2783 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2784 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2785 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint

2791 (thanks to nothingmuch)
2793 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2794 - added this module to support the refactor
2795 in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized
2797 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized
2798 - refactored how these types are handled so they
2799 are more generic and not confined to ArrayRef
2803 - shortened some file names for better VMS support (RT #32381)
2805 0.33 Fri. Dec. 14, 2007
2806 !! Moose now loads 2 x faster !!
2807 !! with new Class::MOP 0.49 !!
2809 ++ new oose.pm module to make command line

2829 - added tests for this
2831 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2832 - allow subclasses to decide whether we need

2842 having to do it all in one place
2843 - added tests for this
2845 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2846 - there is now a default constraint of sub { 1 }
2847 instead of Moose::Util::TypeConstraints setting
2850 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2851 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2852 - added the &has_coercion_for_type and
2853 &add_type_coercions methods to support the

2857 0.31 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
2858 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2859 - made the +attr syntax handle extending types with

2867 - added docs for this
2869 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2870 - passing no "additional attribute info" to
2871 &find_or_create_type_constraint will no longer
2872 attempt to create an __ANON__ type for you,
2873 instead it will just return undef.
2874 - added docs for this

2888 with work correctly.
2889 - added tests for this
2892 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2893 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code
2896 - New tests for builder bug. Upon instantiation, if an
2897 attribute had a builder, no value and was not lazy the
2898 builder default was not getting run, oops. (groditi)
2900 0.29 Tues. Nov. 13, 2007

2932 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
2935 - fixed how required methods are handled
2936 when they encounter overriden or modified
2937 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2938 - added tests for this
2940 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2941 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2942 the | always creates a union and so is
2943 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2944 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2946 - added more tests for this
2948 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2951 * Parameterized Types
2952 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2953 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2954 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2955 They can also be nested:
2956 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2957 And work with the type unions as well:
2958 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2960 * Better Framework Extendability
2961 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2962 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2963 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2964 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2967 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2968 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2969 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2970 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2973 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2975 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
2976 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)
2979 - added all the meta classes to the immutable list and

3011 Recipes but which have no clear place in the module docs.
3012 So they are Snacks! (horray for castaway++)
3014 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe4
3015 - updated it to use the new ArrayRef[MyType] construct

3018 +++ Major Refactor of the Type Constraint system +++
3019 +++ with new features added as well +++
3021 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint

3025 - added more sophisticated type notation parsing
3027 - added tests for this
3029 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint

3035 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
3036 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3038 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
3039 - this has been added to service the newly refactored
3040 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union and is itself
3041 a subclass of Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion

3055 (thanks to shlomif).
3057 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3058 - required attributes now will no longer accept undef
3059 from the constructor, even if there is a default and lazy

3063 - added tests for this
3065 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3066 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
3067 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor

3108 (but not changing the handles option)
3109 - added tests and docs for this
3112 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
3113 so that required methods can come from superclasses
3114 - adjusted tests for this
3116 0.23 Mon. June 18, 2007
3117 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
3118 - fix inlined constructor for hierarchy with multiple BUILD methods (mst)

3127 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3128 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3129 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
3130 prototypes for functions
3131 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
3132 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

3142 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
3145 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
3146 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
3147 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
3148 - added tests for this
3150 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
3152 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

3173 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
3174 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
3176 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
3177 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
3178 so this release is just to fix that.
3181 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
3182 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
3183 (thanks to konobi for this)
3184 - added tests and docs
3186 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
3187 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
3189 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3190 - 'type' now supports messages as well
3191 thanks to phaylon for finding this
3192 - added tests for this
3193 - added &list_all_type_constraints and
3194 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
3195 functions to facilitate introspection.
3197 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3198 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
3199 to build the list of delegated methods
3200 correctly (and not override important
3201 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
3203 - added tests and docs for this
3204 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3205 so that you can actually document your
3206 attributes and inspect them through the
3208 - added tests and docs for this
3210 * Moose::Meta::Class
3211 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3212 it will first look in for the class in the
3213 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3214 then default to just loading $name.
3215 - added tests and docs for this
3217 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3218 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3219 - added test for this
3222 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
3223 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
3224 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3225 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3227 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3228 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3231 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3233 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3234 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3235 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3238 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3239 !! for this developer release to work !!
3241 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3242 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3243 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3244 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3245 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3246 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3247 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3248 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3249 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3250 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3251 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3253 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3254 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3255 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3256 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3259 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3260 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3261 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3262 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3263 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3265 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3267 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3268 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3271 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3272 called unless they actually need to be.
3273 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3274 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3275 DEMOLISH method present.
3277 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3278 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3279 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3280 type constraint, which allows for a
3281 hand optimized version of the type
3282 constraint to be used when possible.
3283 - Any internally created type constraints
3284 now provide an optimized version as well.
3286 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3288 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3289 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3290 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3292 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3293 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3294 your class namespace of these exported
3297 * Moose::Meta::Class
3298 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3299 comes up during global destruction
3301 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3305 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3308 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3309 - changed how we do type checks so that
3310 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3313 - moved accessor generation methods to
3314 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3315 conform to the API changes from
3318 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3319 - changed how constraints are compiled
3320 so that we do less recursion and more
3321 iteration. This makes the type check
3323 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3326 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3327 - created this from methods formerly found in
3328 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3330 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3331 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3333 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3334 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3336 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3337 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3339 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3341 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3342 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3343 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3344 - added tests for this
3345 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3346 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3347 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3348 - removed tests for this
3350 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3352 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3353 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3354 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3357 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3358 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3359 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3361 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3362 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3363 comments for more info.
3366 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3367 asked questions and common problems
3369 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3370 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3371 - added tests for this
3373 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3374 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3375 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3376 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3378 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3379 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3382 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3383 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3384 is much appreciated :)
3385 - added tests for this
3387 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3388 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3389 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3392 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3393 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3395 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3397 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3398 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3402 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3403 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3404 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3406 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3408 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3411 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3412 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3413 keywords because we need to localize them.
3414 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3416 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3417 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3418 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3421 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3424 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3425 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3426 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3429 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3430 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3431 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3433 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3435 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3436 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3437 bottom of your class file.
3440 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3443 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3445 - improved error message when loading modules so
3446 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3447 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3448 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3451 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3452 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3453 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)

3456 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3458 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3459 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3460 turn them on for you.
3461 - added tests for this
3462 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3463 in Moose::Meta::Class
3466 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
3467 automatically turned on for you.
3468 - added tests for this
3471 - now handles an edge case for override errors
3472 - added tests for this
3473 - added some more edge case tests

3490 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3491 - This release works in combination with
3492 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3493 release because it uses the a new
3494 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3495 complete Role implementation. It has
3496 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3497 the the previous CPAN version. This
3498 release also lacks good updated docs,
3499 the official release will have updated docs.
3502 - refactored the keyword exports
3503 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3504 accepts more than one Role at a time
3505 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3506 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3509 - refactored the keyword exports
3510 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3511 accepts more than one Role at a time
3513 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3514 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3515 string enumerations which can be used as
3517 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3520 - more careful checking of params to new()
3523 - much work done on the role composition
3524 - many new tests for conflict detection
3525 and composition edge cases
3526 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3527 looking at the tests
3529 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3530 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3531 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3533 * Moose::Meta::Class
3534 - some small changes to support the new
3536 - some small additions to support Roles
3538 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3539 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3541 - some small changes to support the new
3543 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3544 with the 'handles' option
3545 - added several tests for this
3546 - no docs for this yet

3550 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3551 thanks to chansen for this commit
3552 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3553 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3554 on a per-attribute basis
3555 - added tests for this
3556 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3557 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3558 experimental feature and probably not finished
