1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
9 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
10 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
13 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
18 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
20 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
21 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
23 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
27 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
28 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
29 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
33 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
34 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
36 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
37 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
39 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
40 environments. (doy, mateu)
42 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
46 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
47 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
48 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
49 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
53 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
54 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
56 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
60 * Update conflicts list.
63 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
67 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
68 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
69 details. (Dave Rolsky)
71 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
72 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
73 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
74 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
75 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
79 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
80 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
81 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
82 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
83 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
86 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
90 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
91 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
93 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
96 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
100 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
101 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
102 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
103 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
105 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
106 immutable classes). (mo)
108 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
109 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
110 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
112 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
116 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
118 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
120 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
124 * Fix some indexing issues.
126 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
128 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
132 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
133 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
134 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
135 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
136 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
138 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
139 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
144 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
145 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
146 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
147 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
149 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
150 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
151 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
155 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
156 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
159 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
163 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
164 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
168 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
172 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
173 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
174 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
175 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
178 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
182 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
185 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
189 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
190 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
191 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
194 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
198 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
199 policy. (Chris Prather)
201 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
202 on this new support policy. (doy)
206 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
207 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
208 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
210 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
211 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
213 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
217 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
218 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
219 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
220 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
223 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
227 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
228 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
231 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
235 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
236 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
238 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
239 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
243 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
244 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
245 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
246 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
247 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
248 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
250 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
251 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
253 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
254 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
255 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
256 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
258 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
259 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
261 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
266 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
267 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
269 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
273 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
274 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
275 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
277 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
281 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
282 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
283 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
285 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
286 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
289 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
290 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
293 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
294 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
295 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
297 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
298 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
303 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
304 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
305 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
306 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
308 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
309 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
311 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
312 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
314 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
315 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
316 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
317 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
319 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
320 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
321 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
324 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
325 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
326 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
327 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
329 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
330 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
333 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
334 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
335 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
337 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
341 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
342 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
343 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
345 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
346 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
347 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
350 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
351 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
352 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
354 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
355 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
356 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
358 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
359 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
363 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
364 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
365 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
367 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
368 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
369 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
370 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
372 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
376 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
377 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
378 value is a reference.
380 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
381 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
383 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
387 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
388 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
389 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
391 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
395 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
396 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
400 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
401 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
402 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
404 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
405 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
406 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
408 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
412 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
414 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
418 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
420 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
421 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
426 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
427 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
429 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
430 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
431 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
432 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
433 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
435 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
436 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
437 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
438 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
440 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
444 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
445 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
450 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
452 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
454 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
459 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
461 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
465 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
466 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
467 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
469 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
470 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
471 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
472 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
474 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
475 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
476 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
477 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
478 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
481 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
486 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
487 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
488 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
489 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
490 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
493 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
497 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
500 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
501 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
505 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
506 function (not just method). (doy)
510 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
511 and aren't easily installable/testable.
513 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
517 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
518 to be overridden more easily (doy).
520 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
524 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
525 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
527 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
531 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
532 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
533 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
535 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
539 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
540 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
541 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
543 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
544 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
548 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
549 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
551 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
552 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
556 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
557 is applied to a class (t0m).
559 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
560 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
562 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
565 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
566 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
568 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
569 be much more robust. (doy)
571 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
573 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
576 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
580 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
581 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
583 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
587 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
588 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
590 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
593 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
594 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
595 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
597 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
598 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
599 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
602 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
604 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
608 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
609 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
613 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
615 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
619 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
620 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
624 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
625 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
629 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
631 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
635 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
636 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
640 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
641 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
645 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
646 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
648 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
652 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
653 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
654 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
657 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
661 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
662 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
663 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
664 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
666 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
670 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
671 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
672 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
676 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
679 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
683 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
684 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
685 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
689 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
690 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
692 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
693 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
694 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
695 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
697 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
701 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
705 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
706 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
708 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
709 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
710 - Moose::Util::does_role
711 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
712 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
713 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
715 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
719 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
720 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
721 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
724 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
728 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
729 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
732 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
736 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
737 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
740 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
744 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
746 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
747 class. (Dave Rolsky).
749 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
750 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
751 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
753 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
754 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
755 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
758 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
759 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
761 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
762 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
763 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
765 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
767 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
768 substr et al, again. (sorear)
770 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
772 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
775 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
776 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
778 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
779 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
781 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
782 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
783 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
784 dependencies installed.
786 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
787 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
790 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
792 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
796 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
798 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
799 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
800 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
802 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
803 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
804 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
806 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
807 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
810 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
811 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
812 others. (nothingmuch)
814 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
815 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
816 remove_accessors. (doy)
818 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
819 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
820 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
822 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
823 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
825 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
826 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
827 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
828 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
831 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
832 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
834 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
835 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
837 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
839 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
840 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
843 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
844 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
845 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
846 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
847 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
849 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
850 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
851 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
852 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
853 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
854 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
855 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
858 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
859 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
860 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
861 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
862 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
864 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
865 which were not receiving the value of
866 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
867 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
868 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
869 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
873 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
874 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
875 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
876 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
877 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
880 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
881 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
882 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
883 - added tests for this (Stevan)
886 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
887 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
888 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
891 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
892 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
893 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
895 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
896 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
897 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
900 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
901 class if you pass it options for
902 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
903 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
904 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
905 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
906 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
907 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
908 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
909 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
910 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
912 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
913 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
914 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
915 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
916 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
919 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
920 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
921 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
922 existing delegation API. (hdp)
924 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
925 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
926 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
927 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
928 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
929 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
932 * Moose::Error::Croak
933 * Moose::Error::Confess
934 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
935 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
938 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
941 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
942 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
943 installing a broken sub. (doy)
946 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
949 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
950 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
951 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
953 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
954 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
955 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
956 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
957 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
959 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
960 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
963 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
965 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
966 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
969 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
970 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
972 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
973 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
974 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
975 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
977 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
978 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
979 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
980 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
981 using it for new code!
983 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
984 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
985 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
986 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
988 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
989 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
990 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
991 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
992 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
993 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
994 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
995 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
998 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1001 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1002 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1005 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1006 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1008 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1009 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1010 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1012 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1013 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1014 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1015 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1017 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1018 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1019 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1021 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1022 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1023 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1026 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1027 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1028 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1029 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1030 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1031 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1033 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1035 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1038 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1039 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1040 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1042 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1043 associated_methods. (hdp)
1044 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1045 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1046 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1047 misspelled) arguments
1049 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1050 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1051 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1052 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1054 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1055 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1056 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1058 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1061 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1062 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1063 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1066 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1067 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1069 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1070 * Moose::Meta::Class
1071 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1072 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1074 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1075 * Moose::Manual::Types
1076 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1077 string parsing rathole (mst)
1079 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1080 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1081 using plain objects instead
1083 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1084 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1085 that's what we need.
1087 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1088 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1089 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1090 three times today (perigrin)
1091 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1092 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1094 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1095 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1096 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1097 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1100 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1101 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1102 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1103 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1104 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1105 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1108 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1109 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1110 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1111 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1114 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1116 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1119 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1121 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1124 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1125 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1126 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1130 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1131 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1134 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1135 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1137 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1138 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1139 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1141 * Moose::Unsweetened
1142 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1144 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1145 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1148 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1152 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1153 methods during global destruction (doy)
1155 * Moose::Meta::Class
1156 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1157 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1158 consumption (Sartak)
1160 * Moose::Meta::Class
1161 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1162 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1165 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1166 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1169 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1170 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1172 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1174 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1178 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1179 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1180 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1183 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1184 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1185 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1188 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1190 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1191 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1192 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1195 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1196 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1197 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1198 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1200 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1201 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1202 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1205 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1208 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1209 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1210 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1214 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1215 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1217 * Moose::Meta::Class
1218 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1220 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1222 * Moose::Meta::Class
1223 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1224 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1227 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1228 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1231 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1232 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1235 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1238 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1240 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1241 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1244 * Moose::Meta::Class
1245 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1247 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1248 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1251 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1252 * More deprecations and renamings
1253 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1254 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1255 when an object is constructed)
1258 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1259 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1260 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1262 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1263 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1264 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1265 feature, and it works again.
1268 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1270 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1272 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1273 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1274 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1276 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1277 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1278 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1279 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1280 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1282 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1283 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1284 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1285 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1286 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1289 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1290 metaclass object. (hdp)
1292 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1293 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1294 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1295 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1296 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1297 point out this fact. (hdp)
1299 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1300 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1302 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1303 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1305 * Moose::Meta::Class
1306 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1307 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1308 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1309 called during instance construction were passed the
1310 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1311 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1313 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1314 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1317 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1318 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1319 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1322 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1323 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1324 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1325 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1326 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1328 - Moose::Meta::Class
1329 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1331 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1332 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1333 when an object is constructed)
1334 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1336 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1337 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1338 when an object is constructed)
1339 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1340 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1341 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1344 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1346 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1347 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1349 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1351 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1352 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1353 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1355 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1356 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1357 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1359 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1361 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1362 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1364 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1365 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1368 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1369 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1372 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1373 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1374 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1376 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1377 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1381 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1382 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1383 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1385 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1386 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1389 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1390 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1391 with recommended workarounds.
1393 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1394 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1396 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1397 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1398 (yes, spelled like that).
1400 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1401 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1403 * Moose::Meta::Class
1404 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1405 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1407 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1409 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1410 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1411 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1412 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1413 instead. Reported by doy.
1415 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1417 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1418 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1420 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1421 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1422 message) is now deprecated.
1423 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1424 often got it wrong. For example:
1426 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1428 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1432 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1433 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1434 bite you in weird cases.
1436 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1437 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1438 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1439 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1441 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1442 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1446 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1449 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1450 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1453 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1454 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1456 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1457 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1460 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1461 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1462 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1463 - added tests for this (stevan)
1465 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1466 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1467 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1468 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1472 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1473 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1474 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1475 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1477 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1478 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1479 - added tests for this (rafl)
1481 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1482 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1483 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1484 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1488 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1489 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1492 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1493 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1494 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1496 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1498 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1499 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1501 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1502 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1503 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1504 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1505 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1507 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1508 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1509 error message did not specify the attribute name
1512 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1514 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1516 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1517 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1518 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1520 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1521 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1524 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1526 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1527 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1528 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1529 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1531 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1533 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1534 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1535 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1536 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1538 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1539 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1540 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1542 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1543 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1544 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1545 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1546 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1548 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1549 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1550 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1551 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1552 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1554 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1555 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1556 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1557 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1558 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1559 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1561 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1562 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1563 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1564 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1565 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1566 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1568 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1569 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1571 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1572 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1573 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1574 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1576 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1577 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1580 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1584 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1585 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1587 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1588 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1589 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1590 guts. (nothingmuch).
1592 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1593 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1594 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1596 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1597 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1598 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1599 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1601 * Moose::Meta::Class
1602 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1605 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1606 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1608 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1609 * Moose::Unsweetened
1610 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1613 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1614 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1615 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1616 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1617 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1618 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1620 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1621 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1622 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1623 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1624 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1625 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1626 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1627 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1628 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1629 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1631 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1633 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1634 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1636 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1637 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1638 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1639 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1641 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1642 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1643 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1644 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1645 same methods for a single role did not work
1646 right (worked just fine with multiple
1648 - added test for this (stevan)
1650 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1651 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1652 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1655 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1656 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1657 - added test for this (t0m)
1660 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1661 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1662 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1664 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1665 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1666 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1667 - added test for this (t0m)
1669 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1670 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1671 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1672 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1673 - added test for this (perigrin)
1676 - create method for constructing a role
1677 dynamically (Sartak)
1678 - added test for this (Sartak)
1679 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1680 - added test for this (Sartak)
1683 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1685 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1686 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1687 methods is useful (Sartak)
1689 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1690 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1691 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1694 * Moose::Meta::Class
1695 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1696 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1697 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1698 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1699 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1700 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1703 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1704 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1706 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1707 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1708 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1709 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1710 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1712 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1714 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1715 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1716 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1719 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1720 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1721 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1722 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1723 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1724 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1727 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1728 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1729 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1730 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1731 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1732 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1733 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1734 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1735 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1736 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1737 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1739 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1740 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1743 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1744 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1745 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1746 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1747 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1749 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1751 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1752 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1753 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1755 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1756 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1758 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1759 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1760 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1761 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1764 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1765 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1767 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1769 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1770 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1772 * Moose::Meta::Class
1773 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1774 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1775 a required attribute
1777 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1778 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1779 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1780 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1782 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1783 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1785 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1786 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1787 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1788 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1789 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1790 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1791 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1792 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1794 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1795 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1796 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1798 * Roles and role application
1799 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1800 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1801 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1802 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1803 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1805 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1806 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1809 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1810 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1811 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1812 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1813 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1816 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1817 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1818 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1819 changes in the Moose internals.
1821 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1822 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1823 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1826 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1827 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1828 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1829 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1831 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1832 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1833 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1834 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1836 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1837 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1838 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1839 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1840 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1841 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1842 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1843 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1844 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1845 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1846 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1847 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1848 constraint implementations.
1850 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1854 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1855 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1856 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1857 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1858 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1859 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1860 - added tests for this (rafl)
1862 * Moose::Meta::Class
1863 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1864 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1865 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1866 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1867 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1868 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1869 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1870 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1873 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1874 - added tests for this (thepler)
1876 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1877 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1878 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1879 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1882 * Moose::Meta::Class
1883 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1884 * Moose::Meta::Method
1887 * Moose::Error::Default
1888 * Moose::Error::Croak
1889 * Moose::Error::Confess
1890 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1891 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1892 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1893 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1894 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1895 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1897 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1899 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1900 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1902 * Moose::Unsweetened
1903 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1904 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1905 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1907 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1908 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1909 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1910 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1911 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1914 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1915 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1917 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1918 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1919 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1920 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1923 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1925 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1926 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1928 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1931 - Various bug fixes.
1933 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1934 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1936 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1938 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1939 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1940 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1941 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1942 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1943 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1945 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1946 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1947 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1949 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1950 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1951 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1954 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1955 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1956 dependency to 0.64_07.
1958 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1959 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1960 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1962 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1963 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1966 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1967 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1968 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1969 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1970 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1971 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1973 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1974 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1976 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1978 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1979 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1983 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1984 method when that method was provided by another role being
1985 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1986 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1988 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1990 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1991 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1993 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1994 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1995 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1996 - added test for this (t0m)
1998 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1999 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
2000 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
2002 - added test for this (t0m)
2005 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
2006 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
2007 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
2010 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
2011 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
2013 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
2015 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
2016 easier (Dave Rolsky)
2018 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2019 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
2020 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
2022 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2023 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
2026 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2027 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2028 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
2029 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
2033 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
2034 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
2035 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
2038 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
2039 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
2040 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
2041 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
2044 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
2048 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
2049 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
2050 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)

2093 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2094 ... this is not my day today ...
2096 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2097 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2098 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2099 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2100 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2103 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2104 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2105 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2106 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2107 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2110 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2112 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2113 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)

2145 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2146 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2147 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2148 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2149 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2150 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2151 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2152 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2153 - added tests for this
2155 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2156 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to

2265 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
2266 XS based functionality is now optional
2267 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2268 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2269 can now be used to force non-XS versions

2744 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2745 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2746 - added the &has_coercion_for_type and
2747 &add_type_coercions methods to support the
2748 new features above (although you cannot add
2749 more type coercions for Union types)
2751 0.31 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
2752 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2753 - made the +attr syntax handle extending types with
2754 parameters. So "has '+foo' => (isa => 'ArrayRef[Int]')"
2755 now works if the original foo is an ArrayRef.
2756 - added tests for this.
2757 - delegation now works even if the attribute does not
2758 have a reader method using the get_read_method_ref
2759 method from Class::MOP::Attribute.
2760 - added tests for this
2761 - added docs for this
2763 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2764 - passing no "additional attribute info" to
2765 &find_or_create_type_constraint will no longer
2766 attempt to create an __ANON__ type for you,
2767 instead it will just return undef.
2768 - added docs for this
2770 0.30 Fri. Nov. 23, 2007
2771 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2772 -builder related bug in inlined constructor. (groditi)

2780 - added more tests for this (mst)
2781 - fixed it so that subtype 'Foo' => as 'HashRef[Int]' ...
2782 with work correctly.
2783 - added tests for this
2786 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2787 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code
2790 - New tests for builder bug. Upon instantiation, if an
2791 attribute had a builder, no value and was not lazy the
2792 builder default was not getting run, oops. (groditi)
2794 0.29 Tues. Nov. 13, 2007
2795 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

2803 builder method is missing (groditi)
2805 0.28 Tues. Nov. 13, 2007
2806 - 0.27 packaged incorrectly (groditi)
2808 0.27 Tues. Nov. 13, 2007

2823 - tests for builder and lazy_build (groditi)
2825 * fixing some misc. bits in the docs that
2826 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
2829 - fixed how required methods are handled
2830 when they encounter overriden or modified
2831 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2832 - added tests for this
2834 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2835 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2836 the | always creates a union and so is
2837 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2838 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2840 - added more tests for this
2842 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2845 * Parameterized Types
2846 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2847 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2848 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2849 They can also be nested:
2850 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2851 And work with the type unions as well:
2852 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2854 * Better Framework Extendability
2855 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2856 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2857 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2858 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2861 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2862 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2863 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2864 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2867 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2869 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
2870 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)
2873 - added all the meta classes to the immutable list and

2901 assumptions about hash based classes (thanks to dexter)
2903 * Moose::Coookbook::Snacks
2904 - these are bits of documentation, not quite as big as
2905 Recipes but which have no clear place in the module docs.
2906 So they are Snacks! (horray for castaway++)
2908 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe4
2909 - updated it to use the new ArrayRef[MyType] construct
2910 - updated the accompanying test as well
2912 +++ Major Refactor of the Type Constraint system +++
2913 +++ with new features added as well +++
2915 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2916 - no longer uses package variable to keep track of
2917 the type constraints, now uses the an instance of

2919 - added more sophisticated type notation parsing
2921 - added tests for this
2923 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint

2929 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
2930 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2932 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2933 - this has been added to service the newly refactored
2934 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union and is itself
2935 a subclass of Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion

2949 (thanks to shlomif).
2951 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2952 - required attributes now will no longer accept undef
2953 from the constructor, even if there is a default and lazy
2954 - added tests for this
2955 - default subroutines must return a value which passes the
2957 - added tests for this
2959 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2960 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor

2990 - This contains Moose specific test functions
2991 - added tests for these
2993 0.24 Tues. July 3, 2007
2994 ~ Some doc updates/cleanup ~
2996 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2997 - added support for roles to be given as parameters
2998 to the 'handles' option.
2999 - added tests and docs for this

3002 (but not changing the handles option)
3003 - added tests and docs for this
3006 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
3007 so that required methods can come from superclasses
3008 - adjusted tests for this
3010 0.23 Mon. June 18, 2007
3011 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
3012 - fix inlined constructor for hierarchy with multiple BUILD methods (mst)

3018 the other side (perigrin)
3020 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
3021 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3022 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3023 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
3024 prototypes for functions
3025 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
3026 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

3036 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
3039 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
3040 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
3041 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
3042 - added tests for this
3044 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
3046 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

3059 where not handled correctly in roles
3060 - added tests for this
3062 * Moose::Meta::Class
3063 - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
3064 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
3065 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
3067 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
3068 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
3070 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
3071 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
3072 so this release is just to fix that.
3075 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
3076 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
3077 (thanks to konobi for this)
3078 - added tests and docs
3080 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
3081 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
3083 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3084 - 'type' now supports messages as well
3085 thanks to phaylon for finding this
3086 - added tests for this
3087 - added &list_all_type_constraints and
3088 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
3089 functions to facilitate introspection.
3091 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3092 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
3093 to build the list of delegated methods
3094 correctly (and not override important
3095 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
3097 - added tests and docs for this
3098 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3099 so that you can actually document your
3100 attributes and inspect them through the
3102 - added tests and docs for this
3104 * Moose::Meta::Class
3105 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3106 it will first look in for the class in the
3107 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3108 then default to just loading $name.
3109 - added tests and docs for this
3111 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3112 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3113 - added test for this
3116 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
3117 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
3118 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3119 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3121 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3122 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3125 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3127 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3128 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3129 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3132 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3133 !! for this developer release to work !!
3135 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3136 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3137 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3138 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3139 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3140 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3141 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3142 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3143 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3144 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3145 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3147 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3148 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3149 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3150 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3153 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3154 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3155 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3156 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3157 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3159 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3161 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3162 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3165 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3166 called unless they actually need to be.
3167 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3168 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3169 DEMOLISH method present.
3171 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3172 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3173 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3174 type constraint, which allows for a
3175 hand optimized version of the type
3176 constraint to be used when possible.
3177 - Any internally created type constraints
3178 now provide an optimized version as well.
3180 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3182 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3183 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3184 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3186 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3187 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3188 your class namespace of these exported
3191 * Moose::Meta::Class
3192 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3193 comes up during global destruction
3195 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3199 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3202 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3203 - changed how we do type checks so that
3204 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3207 - moved accessor generation methods to
3208 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3209 conform to the API changes from
3212 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3213 - changed how constraints are compiled
3214 so that we do less recursion and more
3215 iteration. This makes the type check
3217 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3220 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3221 - created this from methods formerly found in
3222 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3224 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3225 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3227 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3228 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3230 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3231 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3233 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3235 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3236 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3237 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3238 - added tests for this
3239 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3240 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3241 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3242 - removed tests for this
3244 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3246 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3247 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3248 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3251 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3252 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3253 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3255 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3256 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3257 comments for more info.
3260 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3261 asked questions and common problems
3263 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3264 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3265 - added tests for this
3267 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3268 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3269 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3270 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3272 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3273 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3276 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3277 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3278 is much appreciated :)
3279 - added tests for this
3281 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3282 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3283 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3286 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3287 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3289 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3291 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3292 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3296 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3297 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3298 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3300 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3302 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3305 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3306 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3307 keywords because we need to localize them.
3308 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3310 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3311 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3312 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3315 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3318 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3319 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3320 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3323 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3324 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3325 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3327 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3329 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3330 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3331 bottom of your class file.
3334 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3337 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3339 - improved error message when loading modules so
3340 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3341 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3342 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3345 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3346 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3347 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3349 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3350 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3352 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3353 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3354 turn them on for you.
3355 - added tests for this
3356 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3357 in Moose::Meta::Class
3360 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
3361 automatically turned on for you.

3380 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
3383 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
3384 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3385 - This release works in combination with
3386 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3387 release because it uses the a new
3388 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3389 complete Role implementation. It has
3390 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3391 the the previous CPAN version. This
3392 release also lacks good updated docs,
3393 the official release will have updated docs.
3396 - refactored the keyword exports
3397 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3398 accepts more than one Role at a time
3399 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3400 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3403 - refactored the keyword exports
3404 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3405 accepts more than one Role at a time
3407 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3408 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3409 string enumerations which can be used as
3411 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3414 - more careful checking of params to new()
3417 - much work done on the role composition
3418 - many new tests for conflict detection
3419 and composition edge cases
3420 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3421 looking at the tests
3423 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3424 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3425 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3427 * Moose::Meta::Class
3428 - some small changes to support the new
3430 - some small additions to support Roles
3432 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3433 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3435 - some small changes to support the new
3437 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3438 with the 'handles' option
3439 - added several tests for this
3440 - no docs for this yet
3442 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
3444 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3445 thanks to chansen for this commit
3446 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
