1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
6 2.0100 Mon, Jun 06, 2011
10 * Using a hand-optimized type constraint is now deprecated. In keeping with
11 our release policy, this won't actually start warning until the 2.0200
16 * Type constraints can now provide inlined versions, which should make
17 inlined code which uses type constraints (such as accessors) faster. This
18 replaces the existing hand-optimized constraint feature. (Dave Rolsky)
22 * Remove a lot of cases where generated methods closed over meta objects.
23 Most simple cases should now only close over simple data types and
24 coderefs. This should make deparsing simpler.
28 * Make sure weak attributes remain weak when cloning. (doy, rafl)
30 2.0006 Mon, May 09, 2011
34 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
35 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
37 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
41 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
43 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
47 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
49 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
50 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
52 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
56 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
57 skips every other role. (rjbs)
59 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
60 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
61 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
62 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
63 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
65 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
69 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
70 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
71 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
74 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
79 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
81 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
82 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
84 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
88 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
89 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
90 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
94 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
95 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
97 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
98 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
100 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
101 environments. (doy, mateu)
103 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
107 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
108 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
109 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
110 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
114 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
115 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
117 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
121 * Update conflicts list.
124 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
128 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
129 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
130 details. (Dave Rolsky)
132 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
133 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
134 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
135 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
136 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
140 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
141 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
142 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
143 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
144 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
147 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
151 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
152 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
154 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
157 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
161 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
162 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
163 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
164 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
166 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
167 immutable classes). (mo)
169 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
170 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
171 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
173 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
177 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
179 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
181 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
185 * Fix some indexing issues.
187 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
189 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
193 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
194 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
195 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
196 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
197 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
199 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
200 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
205 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
206 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
207 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
208 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
210 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
211 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
212 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
216 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
217 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
220 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
224 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
225 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
229 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
233 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
234 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
235 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
236 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
239 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
243 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
246 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
250 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
251 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
252 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
255 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
259 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
260 policy. (Chris Prather)
262 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
263 on this new support policy. (doy)
267 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
268 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
269 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
271 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
272 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
274 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
278 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
279 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
280 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
281 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
284 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
288 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
289 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
292 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
296 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
297 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
299 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
300 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
304 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
305 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
306 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
307 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
308 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
309 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
311 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
312 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
314 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
315 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
316 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
317 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
319 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
320 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
322 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
327 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
328 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
330 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
334 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
335 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
336 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
338 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
342 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
343 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
344 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
346 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
347 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
350 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
351 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
354 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
355 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
356 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
358 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
359 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
364 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
365 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
366 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
367 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
369 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
370 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
372 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
373 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
375 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
376 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
377 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
378 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
380 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
381 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
382 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
385 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
386 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
387 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
388 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
390 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
391 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
394 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
395 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
396 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
398 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
402 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
403 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
404 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
406 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
407 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
408 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
411 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
412 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
413 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
415 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
416 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
417 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
419 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
420 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
424 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
425 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
426 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
428 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
429 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
430 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
431 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
433 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
437 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
438 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
439 value is a reference.
441 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
442 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
444 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
448 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
449 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
450 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
452 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
456 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
457 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
461 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
462 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
463 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
465 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
466 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
467 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
469 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
473 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
475 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
479 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
481 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
482 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
487 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
488 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
490 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
491 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
492 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
493 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
494 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
496 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
497 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
498 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
499 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
501 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
505 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
506 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
511 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
513 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
515 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
520 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
522 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
526 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
527 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
528 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
530 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
531 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
532 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
533 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
535 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
536 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
537 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
538 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
539 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
542 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
547 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
548 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
549 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
550 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
551 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
554 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
558 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
561 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
562 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
566 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
567 function (not just method). (doy)
571 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
572 and aren't easily installable/testable.
574 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
578 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
579 to be overridden more easily (doy).
581 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
585 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
586 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
588 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
592 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
593 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
594 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
596 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
600 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
601 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
602 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
604 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
605 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
609 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
610 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
612 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
613 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
617 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
618 is applied to a class (t0m).
620 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
621 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
623 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
626 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
627 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
629 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
630 be much more robust. (doy)
632 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
634 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
637 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
641 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
642 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
644 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
648 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
649 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
651 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
654 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
655 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
656 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
658 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
659 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
660 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
663 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
665 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
669 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
670 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
674 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
676 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
680 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
681 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
685 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
686 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
690 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
692 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
696 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
697 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
701 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
702 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
706 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
707 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
709 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
713 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
714 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
715 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
718 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
722 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
723 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
724 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
725 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
727 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
731 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
732 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
733 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
737 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
740 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
744 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
745 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
746 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
750 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
751 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
753 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
754 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
755 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
756 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
758 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
762 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
766 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
767 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
769 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
770 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
771 - Moose::Util::does_role
772 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
773 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
774 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
776 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
780 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
781 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
782 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
785 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
789 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
790 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
793 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
797 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
798 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
801 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
805 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
807 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
808 class. (Dave Rolsky).
810 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
811 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
812 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
814 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
815 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
816 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
819 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
820 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
822 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
823 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
824 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
826 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
828 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
829 substr et al, again. (sorear)
831 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
833 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
836 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
837 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
839 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
840 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
842 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
843 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
844 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
845 dependencies installed.
847 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
848 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
851 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
853 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
857 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
859 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
860 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
861 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
863 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
864 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
865 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
867 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
868 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
871 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
872 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
873 others. (nothingmuch)
875 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
876 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
877 remove_accessors. (doy)
879 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
880 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
881 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
883 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
884 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
886 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
887 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
888 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
889 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
892 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
893 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
895 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
896 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
898 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
900 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
901 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
904 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
905 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
906 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
907 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
908 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
910 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
911 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
912 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
913 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
914 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
915 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
916 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
919 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
920 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
921 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
922 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
923 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
925 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
926 which were not receiving the value of
927 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
928 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
929 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
930 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
934 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
935 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
936 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
937 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
938 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
941 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
942 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
943 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
944 - added tests for this (Stevan)
947 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
948 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
949 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
952 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
953 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
954 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
956 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
957 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
958 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
961 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
962 class if you pass it options for
963 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
964 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
965 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
966 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
967 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
968 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
969 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
970 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
971 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
973 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
974 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
975 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
976 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
977 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
980 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
981 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
982 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
983 existing delegation API. (hdp)
985 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
986 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
987 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
988 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
989 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
990 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
993 * Moose::Error::Croak
994 * Moose::Error::Confess
995 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
996 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
999 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
1002 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
1003 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
1004 installing a broken sub. (doy)
1006 * Moose::Meta::Class
1007 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
1010 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
1011 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1012 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
1014 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1015 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1016 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
1017 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
1018 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
1020 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1021 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
1024 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
1026 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1027 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1030 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1031 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1033 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1034 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1035 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1036 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1038 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1039 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1040 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1041 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1042 using it for new code!
1044 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1045 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1046 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1047 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1049 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1050 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1051 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1052 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1053 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1054 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1055 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1056 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1059 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1062 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1063 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1066 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1067 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1069 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1070 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1071 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1073 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1074 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1075 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1076 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1078 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1079 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1080 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1082 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1083 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1084 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1087 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1088 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1089 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1090 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1091 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1092 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1094 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1096 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1099 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1100 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1101 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1103 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1104 associated_methods. (hdp)
1105 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1106 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1107 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1108 misspelled) arguments
1110 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1111 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1112 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1113 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1115 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1116 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1117 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1119 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1122 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1123 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1124 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1127 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1128 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1130 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1131 * Moose::Meta::Class
1132 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1133 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1135 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1136 * Moose::Manual::Types
1137 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1138 string parsing rathole (mst)
1140 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1141 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1142 using plain objects instead
1144 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1145 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1146 that's what we need.
1148 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1149 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1150 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1151 three times today (perigrin)
1152 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1153 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1155 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1156 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1157 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1158 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1161 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1162 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1163 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1164 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1165 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1166 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1169 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1170 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1171 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1172 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1175 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1177 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1180 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1182 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1185 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1186 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1187 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1191 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1192 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1195 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1196 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1198 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1199 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1200 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1202 * Moose::Unsweetened
1203 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1205 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1206 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1209 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1213 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1214 methods during global destruction (doy)
1216 * Moose::Meta::Class
1217 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1218 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1219 consumption (Sartak)
1221 * Moose::Meta::Class
1222 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1223 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1226 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1227 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1230 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1231 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1233 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1235 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1239 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1240 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1241 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1244 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1245 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1246 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1249 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1251 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1252 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1253 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1256 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1257 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1258 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1259 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1261 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1262 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1263 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1266 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1269 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1270 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1271 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1275 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1276 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1278 * Moose::Meta::Class
1279 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1281 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1283 * Moose::Meta::Class
1284 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1285 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1288 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1289 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1292 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1293 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1296 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1299 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1301 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1302 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1305 * Moose::Meta::Class
1306 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1308 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1309 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1312 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1313 * More deprecations and renamings
1314 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1315 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1316 when an object is constructed)
1319 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1320 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1321 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1323 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1324 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1325 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1326 feature, and it works again.
1329 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1331 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1333 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1334 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1335 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1337 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1338 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1339 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1340 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1341 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1343 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1344 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1345 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1346 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1347 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1350 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1351 metaclass object. (hdp)
1353 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1354 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1355 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1356 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1357 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1358 point out this fact. (hdp)
1360 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1361 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1363 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1364 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1366 * Moose::Meta::Class
1367 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1368 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1369 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1370 called during instance construction were passed the
1371 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1372 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1374 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1375 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1378 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1379 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1380 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1383 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1384 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1385 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1386 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1387 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1389 - Moose::Meta::Class
1390 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1392 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1393 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1394 when an object is constructed)
1395 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1397 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1398 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1399 when an object is constructed)
1400 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1401 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1402 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1405 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1407 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1408 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1410 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1412 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1413 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1414 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1416 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1417 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1418 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1420 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1422 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1423 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1425 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1426 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1429 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1430 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1433 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1434 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1435 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1437 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1438 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1442 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1443 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1444 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1446 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1447 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1450 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1451 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1452 with recommended workarounds.
1454 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1455 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1457 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1458 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1459 (yes, spelled like that).
1461 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1462 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1464 * Moose::Meta::Class
1465 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1466 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1468 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1470 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1471 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1472 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1473 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1474 instead. Reported by doy.
1476 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1478 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1479 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1481 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1482 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1483 message) is now deprecated.
1484 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1485 often got it wrong. For example:
1487 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1489 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1493 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1494 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1495 bite you in weird cases.
1497 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1498 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1499 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1500 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1502 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1503 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1507 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1510 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1511 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1514 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1515 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1517 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1518 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1521 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1522 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1523 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1524 - added tests for this (stevan)
1526 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1527 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1528 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1529 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1533 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1534 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1535 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1536 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1538 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1539 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1540 - added tests for this (rafl)
1542 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1543 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1544 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1545 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1549 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1550 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1553 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1554 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1555 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1557 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1559 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1560 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1562 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1563 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1564 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1565 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1566 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1568 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1569 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1570 error message did not specify the attribute name
1573 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1575 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1577 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1578 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1579 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1581 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1582 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1585 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1587 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1588 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1589 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1590 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1592 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1594 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1595 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1596 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1597 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1599 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1600 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1601 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1603 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1604 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1605 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1606 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1607 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1609 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1610 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1611 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1612 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1613 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1615 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1616 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1617 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1618 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1619 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1620 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1622 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1623 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1624 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1625 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1626 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1627 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1629 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1630 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1632 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1633 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1634 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1635 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1637 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1638 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1641 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1645 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1646 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1648 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1649 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1650 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1651 guts. (nothingmuch).
1653 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1654 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1655 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1657 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1658 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1659 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1660 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1662 * Moose::Meta::Class
1663 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1666 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1667 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1669 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1670 * Moose::Unsweetened
1671 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1674 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1675 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1676 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1677 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1678 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1679 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1681 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1682 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1683 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1684 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1685 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1686 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1687 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1688 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1689 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1690 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1692 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1694 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1695 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1697 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1698 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1699 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1700 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1702 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1703 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1704 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1705 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1706 same methods for a single role did not work
1707 right (worked just fine with multiple
1709 - added test for this (stevan)
1711 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1712 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1713 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1716 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1717 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1718 - added test for this (t0m)
1721 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1722 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1723 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1725 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1726 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1727 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1728 - added test for this (t0m)
1730 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1731 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1732 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1733 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1734 - added test for this (perigrin)
1737 - create method for constructing a role
1738 dynamically (Sartak)
1739 - added test for this (Sartak)
1740 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1741 - added test for this (Sartak)
1744 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1746 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1747 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1748 methods is useful (Sartak)
1750 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1751 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1752 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1755 * Moose::Meta::Class
1756 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1757 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1758 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1759 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1760 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1761 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1764 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1765 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1767 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1768 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1769 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1770 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1771 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1773 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1775 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1776 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1777 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1780 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1781 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1782 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1783 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1784 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1785 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1788 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1789 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1790 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1791 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1792 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1793 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1794 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1795 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1796 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1797 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1798 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1800 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1801 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1804 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1805 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1806 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1807 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1808 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1810 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1812 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1813 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1814 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1816 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1817 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1819 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1820 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1821 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1822 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1825 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1826 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1828 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1830 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1831 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1833 * Moose::Meta::Class
1834 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1835 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1836 a required attribute
1838 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1839 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1840 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1841 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1843 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1844 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1846 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1847 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1848 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1849 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1850 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1851 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1852 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1853 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1855 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1856 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1857 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1859 * Roles and role application
1860 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1861 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1862 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1863 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1864 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1866 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1867 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1870 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1871 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1872 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1873 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1874 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1877 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1878 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1879 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1880 changes in the Moose internals.
1882 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1883 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1884 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1887 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1888 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1889 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1890 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1892 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1893 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1894 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1895 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1897 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1898 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1899 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1900 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1901 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1902 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1903 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1904 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1905 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1906 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1907 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1908 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1909 constraint implementations.
1911 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1915 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1916 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1917 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1918 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1919 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1920 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1921 - added tests for this (rafl)
1923 * Moose::Meta::Class
1924 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1925 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1926 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1927 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1928 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1929 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1930 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1931 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1934 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1935 - added tests for this (thepler)
1937 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1938 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1939 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1940 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1943 * Moose::Meta::Class
1944 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1945 * Moose::Meta::Method
1948 * Moose::Error::Default
1949 * Moose::Error::Croak
1950 * Moose::Error::Confess
1951 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1952 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1953 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1954 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1955 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1956 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1958 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1960 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1961 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1963 * Moose::Unsweetened
1964 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1965 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1966 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1968 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1969 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1970 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1971 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1972 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1975 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1976 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1978 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1979 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1980 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1981 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1984 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1986 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1987 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1989 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1992 - Various bug fixes.
1994 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1995 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1997 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1999 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
2000 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2001 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2002 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
2003 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
2004 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
2006 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2007 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
2008 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
2010 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
2011 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
2012 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
2015 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
2016 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
2017 dependency to 0.64_07.
2019 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
2020 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
2021 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
2023 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2024 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
2027 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2028 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
2029 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
2030 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
2031 coincidental exception. (t0m).
2032 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2034 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2035 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
2037 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2039 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
2040 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
2044 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
2045 method when that method was provided by another role being
2046 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
2047 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
2049 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
2051 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!

2061 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
2063 - added test for this (t0m)
2066 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"

2155 ... this is not my day today ...
2157 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2158 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2159 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2160 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2161 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2164 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2165 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2166 actually releasing the module. No actual changes

2171 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2173 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2174 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)

2206 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2207 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2208 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2209 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2210 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2211 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2212 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2213 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2214 - added tests for this
2216 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2217 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to

2433 drink more coffee before
2434 doing release engineering
2436 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,

2749 - added this module to support the refactor
2750 in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized
2752 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized
2753 - refactored how these types are handled so they
2754 are more generic and not confined to ArrayRef
2758 - shortened some file names for better VMS support (RT #32381)
2760 0.33 Fri. Dec. 14, 2007
2761 !! Moose now loads 2 x faster !!
2762 !! with new Class::MOP 0.49 !!
2764 ++ new oose.pm module to make command line
2765 Moose-ness easier (see POD docs for more)

2777 HashRef for containers (sartak)
2778 - added tests for this
2780 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion

2782 so you can now add coercions to parameterized
2783 types without having to explictly define them
2784 - added tests for this
2786 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2787 - allow subclasses to decide whether we need
2788 to copy the value into a new variable (sartak)
2790 0.32 Tues. Dec. 4, 2007
2791 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2792 - fixing how subtype aliases of unions work
2793 they should inherit the parent's coercion
2794 - added tests for this
2795 - you can now define multiple coercions on
2796 a single type at different times instead of
2797 having to do it all in one place
2798 - added tests for this
2800 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2801 - there is now a default constraint of sub { 1 }
2802 instead of Moose::Util::TypeConstraints setting
2805 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2806 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2807 - added the &has_coercion_for_type and
2808 &add_type_coercions methods to support the
2809 new features above (although you cannot add
2810 more type coercions for Union types)
2812 0.31 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
2813 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2814 - made the +attr syntax handle extending types with

2816 now works if the original foo is an ArrayRef.
2817 - added tests for this.
2818 - delegation now works even if the attribute does not
2819 have a reader method using the get_read_method_ref
2820 method from Class::MOP::Attribute.
2821 - added tests for this
2822 - added docs for this
2824 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2825 - passing no "additional attribute info" to
2826 &find_or_create_type_constraint will no longer
2827 attempt to create an __ANON__ type for you,
2828 instead it will just return undef.
2829 - added docs for this

2843 with work correctly.
2844 - added tests for this
2847 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2848 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code
2851 - New tests for builder bug. Upon instantiation, if an
2852 attribute had a builder, no value and was not lazy the
2853 builder default was not getting run, oops. (groditi)
2855 0.29 Tues. Nov. 13, 2007

2887 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
2890 - fixed how required methods are handled
2891 when they encounter overriden or modified
2892 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2893 - added tests for this
2895 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2896 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2897 the | always creates a union and so is
2898 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2899 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2901 - added more tests for this
2903 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2906 * Parameterized Types
2907 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2908 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2909 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2910 They can also be nested:
2911 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2912 And work with the type unions as well:
2913 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2915 * Better Framework Extendability
2916 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2917 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2918 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2919 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2922 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2923 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2924 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2925 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2928 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2930 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
2931 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)
2934 - added all the meta classes to the immutable list and

2962 assumptions about hash based classes (thanks to dexter)
2964 * Moose::Coookbook::Snacks
2965 - these are bits of documentation, not quite as big as
2966 Recipes but which have no clear place in the module docs.
2967 So they are Snacks! (horray for castaway++)
2969 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe4
2970 - updated it to use the new ArrayRef[MyType] construct
2971 - updated the accompanying test as well
2973 +++ Major Refactor of the Type Constraint system +++
2974 +++ with new features added as well +++
2976 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2977 - no longer uses package variable to keep track of
2978 the type constraints, now uses the an instance of
2979 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry to do it
2980 - added more sophisticated type notation parsing
2982 - added tests for this
2984 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint

2986 - added the package_defined_in attribute so that we
2987 can track where the type constraints are created
2989 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2990 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
2991 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2993 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2994 - this has been added to service the newly refactored
2995 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union and is itself
2996 a subclass of Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion

3010 (thanks to shlomif).
3012 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3013 - required attributes now will no longer accept undef
3014 from the constructor, even if there is a default and lazy
3015 - added tests for this

3018 - added tests for this
3020 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3021 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
3022 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor

3063 (but not changing the handles option)
3064 - added tests and docs for this
3067 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
3068 so that required methods can come from superclasses
3069 - adjusted tests for this
3071 0.23 Mon. June 18, 2007
3072 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
3073 - fix inlined constructor for hierarchy with multiple BUILD methods (mst)

3079 the other side (perigrin)
3081 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
3082 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3083 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3084 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
3085 prototypes for functions
3086 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
3087 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

3097 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
3100 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
3101 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
3102 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
3103 - added tests for this
3105 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
3107 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

3120 where not handled correctly in roles
3121 - added tests for this
3123 * Moose::Meta::Class
3124 - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
3125 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
3126 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
3128 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
3129 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
3131 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
3132 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
3133 so this release is just to fix that.
3136 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
3137 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
3138 (thanks to konobi for this)
3139 - added tests and docs
3141 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
3142 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
3144 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3145 - 'type' now supports messages as well
3146 thanks to phaylon for finding this
3147 - added tests for this
3148 - added &list_all_type_constraints and
3149 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
3150 functions to facilitate introspection.
3152 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3153 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
3154 to build the list of delegated methods
3155 correctly (and not override important
3156 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
3158 - added tests and docs for this
3159 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3160 so that you can actually document your
3161 attributes and inspect them through the
3163 - added tests and docs for this
3165 * Moose::Meta::Class
3166 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3167 it will first look in for the class in the
3168 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3169 then default to just loading $name.
3170 - added tests and docs for this
3172 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3173 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3174 - added test for this
3177 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
3178 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
3179 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3180 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3182 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3183 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3186 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3188 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3189 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3190 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3193 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3194 !! for this developer release to work !!
3196 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3197 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3198 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3199 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3200 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3201 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3202 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3203 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3204 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3205 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3206 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3208 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3209 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3210 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3211 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3214 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3215 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3216 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3217 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3218 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3220 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3222 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3223 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3226 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3227 called unless they actually need to be.
3228 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3229 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3230 DEMOLISH method present.
3232 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3233 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3234 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3235 type constraint, which allows for a
3236 hand optimized version of the type
3237 constraint to be used when possible.
3238 - Any internally created type constraints
3239 now provide an optimized version as well.
3241 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3243 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3244 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3245 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3247 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3248 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3249 your class namespace of these exported
3252 * Moose::Meta::Class
3253 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3254 comes up during global destruction
3256 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3260 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3263 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3264 - changed how we do type checks so that
3265 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3268 - moved accessor generation methods to
3269 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3270 conform to the API changes from
3273 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3274 - changed how constraints are compiled
3275 so that we do less recursion and more
3276 iteration. This makes the type check
3278 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3281 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3282 - created this from methods formerly found in
3283 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3285 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3286 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3288 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3289 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3291 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3292 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3294 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3296 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3297 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3298 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3299 - added tests for this
3300 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3301 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3302 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3303 - removed tests for this
3305 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3307 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3308 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3309 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3312 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3313 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3314 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3316 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3317 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3318 comments for more info.
3321 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3322 asked questions and common problems
3324 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3325 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3326 - added tests for this
3328 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3329 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3330 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3331 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3333 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3334 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3337 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3338 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3339 is much appreciated :)
3340 - added tests for this
3342 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3343 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3344 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3347 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3348 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3350 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3352 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3353 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3357 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3358 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3359 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3361 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3363 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3366 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3367 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3368 keywords because we need to localize them.
3369 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3371 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3372 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3373 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3376 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3379 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3380 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3381 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3384 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3385 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3386 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3388 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3390 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3391 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3392 bottom of your class file.
3395 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3398 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3400 - improved error message when loading modules so
3401 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3402 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3403 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3406 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3407 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3408 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3410 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3411 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3413 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3414 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3415 turn them on for you.
3416 - added tests for this
3417 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3418 in Moose::Meta::Class

3445 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3446 - This release works in combination with
3447 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3448 release because it uses the a new
3449 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3450 complete Role implementation. It has
3451 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3452 the the previous CPAN version. This
3453 release also lacks good updated docs,
3454 the official release will have updated docs.
3457 - refactored the keyword exports
3458 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3459 accepts more than one Role at a time
3460 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3461 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3464 - refactored the keyword exports
3465 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3466 accepts more than one Role at a time
3468 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3469 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3470 string enumerations which can be used as
3472 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3475 - more careful checking of params to new()
3478 - much work done on the role composition
3479 - many new tests for conflict detection
3480 and composition edge cases
3481 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3482 looking at the tests
3484 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3485 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3486 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3488 * Moose::Meta::Class
3489 - some small changes to support the new
3491 - some small additions to support Roles
3493 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3494 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3496 - some small changes to support the new
3498 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3499 with the 'handles' option
3500 - added several tests for this
3501 - no docs for this yet
3503 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
3505 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3506 thanks to chansen for this commit
3507 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3508 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3509 on a per-attribute basis
3510 - added tests for this
3511 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3512 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3513 experimental feature and probably not finished
3514 see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
3515 more details, or ask about it on #moose
