1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * The optimize_as option for type constraints has been deprecated. Use the
9 inline_as option to provide inlining code instead. (Dave Rolsky)
13 * The Moose::Exporter module now has a "meta_lookup" option when creating an
14 importer. This allows you to specify an alternate method for determining
15 the metaclass of a caller. This is useful for modules like
16 MooseX::Role::Parameterized which generate new metaclasses on the
19 * Added a Moose::Meta::Method->is_stub method. (Dave Rolsky)
21 * An attribute accessor or delegation method can overwrite a stub method and
22 this will no longer throw an error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. Fixes
23 RT 69988. (Dave Rolsky)
27 * The Class::MOP::load_class and Class::MOP::is_class_loaded subroutines are
28 no longer documented, and will cause a deprecation warning in the
29 future. Moose now uses Class::Load to provide this functionality, and you
30 should as well. (Dave Rolsky)
32 2.0205 Tue, Sep 06, 2011
36 * The Array and Hash native traits now provide a "shallow_clone" method,
37 which will return a reference to a new container with the same contents as
38 the attribute's reference.
42 * Specifying an invalid value in a hashref 'handles' value now throws a
43 sensible error. Fixes RT #69990. (Dave Rolsky)
47 * When specifying an attribute trait, passing options for the trait besides
48 -alias or -excludes caused a warning. However, passing other options is
49 totally valid when using MooseX::Role::Parameterized. Fixes RT
52 * Allow regexp objects in duck_type constraints (to bring this in line with
53 the Object constraint).
55 2.0204 Thu, Aug 25, 2011
59 * Validating duck_type type constraint turned out to work only by accident,
60 and only when not running under the debugger. This has been fixed.
65 * Loosen the dependency on ExtUtils::ParseXS.
67 2.0203 Tue, Aug 23, 2011
71 * is_class_loaded now properly detects packages which have a version object
74 * Fix XS compilation under blead.
76 2.0202 Tue, Jul 26, 2011
80 * Be more consistent about how type constraint messages are handled.
82 2.0201 Fri, Jul 22, 2011
86 * Moose::Util::does_role shouldn't call ->does on things that don't inherit
89 * Make ->does initialize the metaclass, so that calling it as a class method
90 on a class which sets up inheritance via some method other than extends
91 works properly (this fixes an issue with MooseX::Types).
93 * Make Dist::CheckConflicts a runtime requirement, so moose-outdated always
96 2.0200 Mon, Jul 18, 2011
100 * No changes from 2.0105 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
102 2.0105-TRIAL Mon, Jun 27, 2011
106 * Moose::Util::does_role now respects overridden ->does methods. (doy)
108 2.0104-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
112 * Include changes from 2.0010.
114 2.0103-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
118 * Several things that have been deprecated for a while have been removed. See
119 the 2.0000 section in Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
123 * New Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::union function for creating union type
124 constraints without having to rely on the string type constraint parsing.
125 This also allows for creating unions of anonymous type constraints.
130 * Include changes from Moose 2.0009.
132 2.0102-TRIAL Sat, Jun 18, 2011
136 * The native Array trait now has a 'first_index' method, which works just
137 like the version in List::MoreUtils. (Karen Etheridge)
139 * Clean up some internal code to help out extensions.
143 * Include changes from Moose 2.0008.
145 2.0101-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
149 * Various packaging issues.
151 2.0100-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
155 * Using a hand-optimized type constraint is now deprecated. In keeping with
156 our release policy, this won't actually start warning until the 2.0200
161 * Type constraints can now provide inlined versions, which should make
162 inlined code which uses type constraints (such as accessors) faster. This
163 replaces the existing hand-optimized constraint feature. (Dave Rolsky)
167 * Remove a lot of cases where generated methods closed over meta objects.
168 Most simple cases should now only close over simple data types and
169 coderefs. This should make deparsing simpler.
171 2.0010 Mon, Jun 20, 2011
175 * Fix regression in 2.0009 and 2.0103 when applying roles during init_meta in
176 an exporter that also re-exports Moose or Moose::Role. (t0m, ilmari)
178 2.0009 Sun, Jun 19, 2011
182 * duck_type type constraints now report reasonable errors when given
183 something which isn't an instance of an object. (t0m)
185 * Moose::Util::apply_all_roles now works even if the applicant is a non-Moose
188 * When an object is reblessed, triggers are called on attributes that are
189 set during the reblessing. (Karen Etheridge).
193 * Better error message if Moose->init_meta is called with a 'metaclass'
194 option when that metaclass hasn't been loaded. (jasonmay)
196 2.0008 Thu, Jun 16, 2011
200 * The 'accessor' native delegation for hashrefs now allows setting the value
201 to undef. (sugoik, doy)
205 * Various generated methods have more useful context information. (doy)
207 2.0007 Sun, May 15, 2011
211 * Make sure weak attributes remain weak when cloning. (doy, rafl)
213 2.0006 Mon, May 09, 2011
217 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
218 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
220 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
224 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
226 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
230 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
232 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
233 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
235 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
239 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
240 skips every other role. (rjbs)
242 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
243 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
244 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
245 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
246 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
248 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
252 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
253 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
254 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
257 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
262 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
264 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
265 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
267 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
271 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
272 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
273 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
277 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
278 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
280 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
281 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
283 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
284 environments. (doy, mateu)
286 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
290 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
291 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
292 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
293 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
297 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
298 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
300 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
304 * Update conflicts list.
307 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
311 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
312 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
313 details. (Dave Rolsky)
315 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
316 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
317 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
318 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
319 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
323 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
324 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
325 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
326 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
327 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
330 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
334 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
335 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
337 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
340 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
344 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
345 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
346 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
347 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
349 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
350 immutable classes). (mo)
352 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
353 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
354 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
356 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
360 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
362 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
364 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
368 * Fix some indexing issues.
370 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
372 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
376 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
377 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
378 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
379 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
380 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
382 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
383 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
388 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
389 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
390 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
391 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
393 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
394 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
395 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
399 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
400 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
403 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
407 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
408 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
412 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
416 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
417 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
418 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
419 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
422 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
426 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
429 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
433 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
434 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
435 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
438 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
442 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
443 policy. (Chris Prather)
445 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
446 on this new support policy. (doy)
450 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
451 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
452 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
454 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
455 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
457 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
461 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
462 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
463 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
464 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
467 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
471 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
472 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
475 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
479 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
480 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
482 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
483 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
487 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
488 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
489 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
490 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
491 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
492 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
494 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
495 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
497 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
498 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
499 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
500 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
502 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
503 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
505 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
510 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
511 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
513 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
517 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
518 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
519 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
521 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
525 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
526 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
527 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
529 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
530 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
533 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
534 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
537 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
538 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
539 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
541 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
542 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
547 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
548 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
549 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
550 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
552 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
553 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
555 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
556 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
558 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
559 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
560 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
561 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
563 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
564 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
565 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
568 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
569 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
570 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
571 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
573 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
574 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
577 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
578 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
579 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
581 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
585 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
586 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
587 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
589 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
590 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
591 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
594 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
595 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
596 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
598 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
599 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
600 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
602 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
603 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
607 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
608 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
609 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
611 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
612 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
613 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
614 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
616 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
620 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
621 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
622 value is a reference.
624 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
625 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
627 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
631 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
632 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
633 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
635 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
639 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
640 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
644 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
645 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
646 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
648 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
649 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
650 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
652 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
656 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
658 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
662 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
664 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
665 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
670 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
671 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
673 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
674 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
675 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
676 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
677 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
679 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
680 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
681 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
682 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
684 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
688 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
689 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
694 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
696 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
698 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
703 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
705 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
709 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
710 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
711 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
713 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
714 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
715 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
716 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
718 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
719 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
720 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
721 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
722 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
725 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
730 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
731 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
732 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
733 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
734 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
737 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
741 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
744 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
745 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
749 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
750 function (not just method). (doy)
754 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
755 and aren't easily installable/testable.
757 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
761 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
762 to be overridden more easily (doy).
764 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
768 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
769 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
771 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
775 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
776 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
777 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
779 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
783 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
784 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
785 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
787 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
788 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
792 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
793 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
795 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
796 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
800 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
801 is applied to a class (t0m).
803 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
804 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
806 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
809 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
810 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
812 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
813 be much more robust. (doy)
815 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
817 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
820 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
824 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
825 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
827 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
831 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
832 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
834 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
837 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
838 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
839 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
841 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
842 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
843 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
846 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
848 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
852 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
853 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
857 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
859 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
863 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
864 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
868 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
869 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
873 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
875 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
879 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
880 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
884 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
885 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
889 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
890 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
892 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
896 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
897 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
898 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
901 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
905 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
906 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
907 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
908 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
910 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
914 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
915 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
916 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
920 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
923 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
927 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
928 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
929 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
933 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
934 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
936 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
937 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
938 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
939 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
941 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
945 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
949 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
950 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
952 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
953 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
954 - Moose::Util::does_role
955 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
956 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
957 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
959 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
963 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
964 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
965 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
968 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
972 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
973 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
976 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
980 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
981 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
984 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
988 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
990 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
991 class. (Dave Rolsky).
993 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
994 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
995 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
997 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
998 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
999 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
1002 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
1003 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1005 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
1006 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
1007 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
1009 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
1011 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
1012 substr et al, again. (sorear)
1014 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
1016 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
1019 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
1020 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
1022 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
1023 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
1025 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
1026 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
1027 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
1028 dependencies installed.
1030 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
1031 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
1034 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
1036 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
1040 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1042 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1043 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
1044 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
1046 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1047 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
1048 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
1050 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
1051 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
1054 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
1055 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
1056 others. (nothingmuch)
1058 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1059 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
1060 remove_accessors. (doy)
1062 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1063 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
1064 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
1066 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
1067 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
1069 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
1070 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1071 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
1072 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
1074 * Moose::Meta::Class
1075 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
1076 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
1078 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1079 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
1081 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
1083 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
1084 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
1087 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1088 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
1089 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
1090 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
1091 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
1093 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
1094 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
1095 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
1096 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
1097 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
1098 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
1099 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
1102 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
1103 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
1104 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
1105 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
1106 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
1108 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
1109 which were not receiving the value of
1110 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
1111 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
1112 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
1113 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
1117 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
1118 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
1119 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
1120 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
1121 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
1124 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1125 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
1126 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
1127 - added tests for this (Stevan)
1129 * Moose::Meta::Class
1130 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
1131 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
1132 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
1135 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
1136 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1137 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
1139 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1140 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
1141 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
1144 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
1145 class if you pass it options for
1146 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
1147 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
1148 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
1149 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
1150 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
1151 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
1152 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
1153 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
1154 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
1156 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1157 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
1158 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
1159 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
1160 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
1163 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
1164 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1165 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
1166 existing delegation API. (hdp)
1168 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1169 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
1170 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
1171 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
1172 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
1173 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
1176 * Moose::Error::Croak
1177 * Moose::Error::Confess
1178 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
1179 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
1182 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
1185 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
1186 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
1187 installing a broken sub. (doy)
1189 * Moose::Meta::Class
1190 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
1193 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
1194 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1195 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
1197 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1198 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1199 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
1200 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
1201 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
1203 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1204 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
1207 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
1209 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1210 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1213 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1214 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1216 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1217 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1218 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1219 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1221 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1222 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1223 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1224 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1225 using it for new code!
1227 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1228 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1229 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1230 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1232 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1233 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1234 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1235 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1236 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1237 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1238 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1239 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1242 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1245 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1246 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1249 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1250 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1252 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1253 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1254 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1256 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1257 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1258 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1259 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1261 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1262 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1263 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1265 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1266 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1267 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1270 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1271 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1272 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1273 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1274 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1275 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1277 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1279 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1282 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1283 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1284 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1286 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1287 associated_methods. (hdp)
1288 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1289 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1290 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1291 misspelled) arguments
1293 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1294 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1295 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1296 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1298 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1299 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1300 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1302 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1305 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1306 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1307 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1310 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1311 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1313 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1314 * Moose::Meta::Class
1315 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1316 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1318 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1319 * Moose::Manual::Types
1320 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1321 string parsing rathole (mst)
1323 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1324 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1325 using plain objects instead
1327 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1328 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1329 that's what we need.
1331 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1332 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1333 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1334 three times today (perigrin)
1335 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1336 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1338 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1339 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1340 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1341 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1344 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1345 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1346 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1347 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1348 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1349 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1352 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1353 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1354 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1355 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1358 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1360 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1363 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1365 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1368 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1369 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1370 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1374 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1375 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1378 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1379 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1381 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1382 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1383 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1385 * Moose::Unsweetened
1386 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1388 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1389 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1392 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1396 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1397 methods during global destruction (doy)
1399 * Moose::Meta::Class
1400 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1401 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1402 consumption (Sartak)
1404 * Moose::Meta::Class
1405 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1406 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1409 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1410 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1413 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1414 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1416 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1418 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1422 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1423 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1424 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1427 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1428 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1429 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1432 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1434 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1435 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1436 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1439 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1440 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1441 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1442 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1444 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1445 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1446 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1449 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1452 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1453 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1454 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1458 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1459 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1461 * Moose::Meta::Class
1462 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1464 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1466 * Moose::Meta::Class
1467 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1468 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1471 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1472 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1475 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1476 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1479 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1482 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1484 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1485 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1488 * Moose::Meta::Class
1489 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1491 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1492 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1495 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1496 * More deprecations and renamings
1497 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1498 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1499 when an object is constructed)
1502 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1503 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1504 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1506 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1507 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1508 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1509 feature, and it works again.
1512 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1514 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1516 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1517 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1518 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1520 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1521 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1522 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1523 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1524 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1526 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1527 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1528 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1529 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1530 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1533 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1534 metaclass object. (hdp)
1536 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1537 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1538 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1539 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1540 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1541 point out this fact. (hdp)
1543 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1544 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1546 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1547 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1549 * Moose::Meta::Class
1550 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1551 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1552 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1553 called during instance construction were passed the
1554 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1555 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1557 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1558 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1561 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1562 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1563 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1566 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1567 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1568 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1569 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1570 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1572 - Moose::Meta::Class
1573 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1575 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1576 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1577 when an object is constructed)
1578 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1580 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1581 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1582 when an object is constructed)
1583 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1584 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1585 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1588 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1590 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1591 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1593 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1595 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1596 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1597 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1599 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1600 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1601 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1603 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1605 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1606 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1608 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1609 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1612 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1613 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1616 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1617 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1618 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1620 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1621 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1625 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1626 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1627 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1629 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1630 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1633 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1634 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1635 with recommended workarounds.
1637 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1638 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1640 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1641 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1642 (yes, spelled like that).
1644 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1645 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1647 * Moose::Meta::Class
1648 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1649 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1651 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1653 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1654 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1655 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1656 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1657 instead. Reported by doy.
1659 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1661 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1662 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1664 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1665 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1666 message) is now deprecated.
1667 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1668 often got it wrong. For example:
1670 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1672 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1676 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1677 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1678 bite you in weird cases.
1680 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1681 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1682 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1683 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1685 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1686 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1690 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1693 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1694 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1697 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1698 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1700 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1701 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1704 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1705 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1706 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1707 - added tests for this (stevan)
1709 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1710 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1711 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1712 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1716 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1717 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1718 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1719 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1721 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1722 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1723 - added tests for this (rafl)
1725 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1726 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1727 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1728 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1732 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1733 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1736 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1737 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1738 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1740 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1742 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1743 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1745 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1746 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1747 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1748 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1749 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1751 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1752 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1753 error message did not specify the attribute name
1756 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1758 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1760 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1761 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1762 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1764 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1765 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1768 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1770 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1771 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1772 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1773 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1775 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1777 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1778 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1779 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1780 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1782 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1783 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1784 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1786 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1787 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1788 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1789 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1790 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1792 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1793 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1794 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1795 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1796 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1798 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1799 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1800 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1801 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1802 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1803 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1805 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1806 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1807 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1808 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1809 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1810 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1812 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1813 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1815 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1816 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1817 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1818 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1820 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1821 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1824 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1828 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1829 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1831 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1832 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1833 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1834 guts. (nothingmuch).
1836 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1837 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1838 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1840 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1841 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1842 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1843 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1845 * Moose::Meta::Class
1846 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1849 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1850 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1852 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1853 * Moose::Unsweetened
1854 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1857 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1858 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1859 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1860 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1861 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1862 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1864 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1865 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1866 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1867 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1868 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1869 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1870 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1871 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1872 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1873 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1875 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1877 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1878 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1880 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1881 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1882 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1883 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1885 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1886 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1887 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1888 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1889 same methods for a single role did not work
1890 right (worked just fine with multiple
1892 - added test for this (stevan)
1894 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1895 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1896 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1899 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1900 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1901 - added test for this (t0m)
1904 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1905 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1906 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1908 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1909 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1910 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1911 - added test for this (t0m)
1913 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1914 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1915 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1916 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1917 - added test for this (perigrin)
1920 - create method for constructing a role
1921 dynamically (Sartak)
1922 - added test for this (Sartak)
1923 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1924 - added test for this (Sartak)
1927 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1929 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1930 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1931 methods is useful (Sartak)
1933 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1934 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1935 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1938 * Moose::Meta::Class
1939 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1940 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1941 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1942 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1943 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1944 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1947 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1948 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1950 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1951 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1952 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1953 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1954 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1956 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1958 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1959 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1960 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1963 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1964 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1965 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1966 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1967 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1968 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1971 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1972 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1973 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1974 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1975 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1976 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1977 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1978 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1979 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1980 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1981 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1983 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1984 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1987 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1988 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1989 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1990 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1991 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1993 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1995 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1996 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1997 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1999 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2000 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
2002 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2003 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
2004 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
2005 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2008 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
2009 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
2011 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
2013 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
2014 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
2016 * Moose::Meta::Class
2017 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
2018 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
2019 a required attribute
2021 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
2022 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
2023 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
2024 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
2026 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2027 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
2029 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2030 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
2031 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
2032 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
2033 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
2034 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
2035 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
2036 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
2038 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
2039 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
2040 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
2042 * Roles and role application
2043 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
2044 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
2045 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
2046 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
2047 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
2049 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
2050 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
2053 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
2054 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
2055 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
2056 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
2057 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
2060 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
2061 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
2062 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
2063 changes in the Moose internals.
2065 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
2066 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2067 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
2070 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2071 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
2072 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
2073 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
2075 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2076 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
2077 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
2078 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
2080 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2081 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
2082 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
2083 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
2084 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
2085 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
2086 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
2087 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
2088 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
2089 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
2090 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
2091 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
2092 constraint implementations.
2094 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
2098 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
2099 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
2100 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
2101 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
2102 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
2103 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
2104 - added tests for this (rafl)
2106 * Moose::Meta::Class
2107 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
2108 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
2109 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
2110 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
2111 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
2112 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
2113 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
2114 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
2117 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
2118 - added tests for this (thepler)
2120 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2121 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
2122 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
2123 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
2126 * Moose::Meta::Class
2127 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2128 * Moose::Meta::Method
2131 * Moose::Error::Default
2132 * Moose::Error::Croak
2133 * Moose::Error::Confess
2134 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
2135 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
2136 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
2137 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
2138 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
2139 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
2141 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
2143 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
2144 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
2146 * Moose::Unsweetened
2147 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
2148 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
2149 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
2151 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2152 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
2153 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
2154 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
2155 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2158 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
2159 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
2161 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
2162 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
2163 several major changes in this release of Moose.
2164 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the

2183 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2184 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2185 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
2186 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
2187 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)

2203 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
2204 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
2206 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2207 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
2210 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2211 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
2212 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
2213 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
2214 coincidental exception. (t0m).
2215 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2217 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2218 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
2220 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2222 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
2223 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
2227 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
2228 method when that method was provided by another role being
2229 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
2230 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
2232 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008

2239 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
2240 - added test for this (t0m)
2242 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2243 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
2244 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
2246 - added test for this (t0m)
2249 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
2250 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
2251 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
2254 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
2255 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
2257 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
2259 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
2260 easier (Dave Rolsky)
2262 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2263 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
2264 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
2266 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2267 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
2270 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1

2273 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
2277 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
2278 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
2279 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)

2283 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
2284 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
2285 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
2288 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
2292 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash

2297 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2298 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
2299 created so that the process can be more easily

2325 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2326 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
2329 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2330 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
2334 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
2335 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
2337 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2338 ... this is not my day today ...
2340 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2341 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2342 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2343 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2344 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2347 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2348 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2349 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2350 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2351 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2354 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2356 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2357 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
2358 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
2359 this is not ever something you want to do
2360 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
2361 - added tests for this (stevan)
2364 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
2366 - added test for this

2378 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
2379 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
2382 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
2384 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
2386 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
2389 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2390 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2391 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2392 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2393 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2394 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2395 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2396 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2397 - added tests for this
2399 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2400 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
2401 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
2402 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
2404 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)

2473 which was causing the indexer to choke
2475 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2476 (late night release engineering)--
2478 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
2479 changes in this release

2495 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2496 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
2497 method for immutablization to check if the
2498 destructor object even needs to be created
2501 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2502 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2503 - added more descriptive error message to help
2504 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
2505 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
2507 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
2509 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
2510 XS based functionality is now optional
2511 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2512 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2513 can now be used to force non-XS versions
2515 - several of the packages have been tweaked
2516 to take care of this, mostly we added
2517 support for the package_name and name

2520 support regexp matching of names
2521 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2522 - tests added for this
2523 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
2524 is currently not supported in roles,
2525 but, ... patches welcome

2527 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2528 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2531 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2532 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2533 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2534 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
2535 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
2536 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
2537 - added test for this
2539 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2540 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
2541 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
2544 * Moose::Meta::Class
2545 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
2549 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
2551 - added tests for this
2552 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
2553 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)

2561 called by the inlined immutable
2563 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
2565 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
2566 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
2567 (if possible) to create the anon-class
2568 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)

2583 show where the error is (thanks mst)
2586 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
2587 ->body when looping through the
2588 methods, to avoid the overloaded
2590 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
2591 eating the $@ values, and so not
2592 working correctly, it still kind of
2593 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
2594 - added tests for this
2596 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
2597 - added new recipe for immutable
2598 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2600 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe9

2616 drink more coffee before
2617 doing release engineering
2619 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,

2734 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2736 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

2741 trigger Ovid's bug (http://use.perl.org/~Ovid/journal/35763)

2763 - added tests for this
2765 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2766 - class_type now accepts an optional second argument for a

2780 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
2781 it ever did this originally, this means we now
2782 have slightly better support for AUTOLOADed
2784 - added more delegation tests
2785 - adding ->does method to this so as to better
2786 support traits and their introspection.
2787 - added tests for this
2790 - localizing the Data::Dumper configurations so
2791 that it does not pollute others (RT #33509)

3027 - added tests for this
3030 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
3031 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

3070 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
3073 - fixed how required methods are handled
3074 when they encounter overriden or modified
3075 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
3076 - added tests for this
3078 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
3079 - fixed the type notation parser so that
3080 the | always creates a union and so is
3081 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
3082 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
3084 - added more tests for this
3086 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
3089 * Parameterized Types
3090 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
3091 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
3092 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
3093 They can also be nested:
3094 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
3095 And work with the type unions as well:
3096 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
3098 * Better Framework Extendability
3099 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
3100 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
3101 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
3102 section of the Moose.pm docs.
3105 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
3106 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
3107 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
3108 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
3111 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
3113 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
3114 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)

3174 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3176 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union

3267 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
3268 prototypes for functions
3269 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings

3286 - added tests for this
3288 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
3290 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

3342 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3343 so that you can actually document your
3344 attributes and inspect them through the
3346 - added tests and docs for this
3348 * Moose::Meta::Class
3349 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3350 it will first look in for the class in the
3351 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3352 then default to just loading $name.
3353 - added tests and docs for this
3355 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3356 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3357 - added test for this
3360 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
3361 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
3362 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3363 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3365 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3366 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3369 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3371 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3372 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3373 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3376 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3377 !! for this developer release to work !!
3379 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3380 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3381 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3382 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3383 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3384 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3385 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3386 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3387 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3388 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3389 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3391 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3392 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3393 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3394 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3397 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3398 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3399 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3400 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3401 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3403 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3405 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3406 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3409 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3410 called unless they actually need to be.
3411 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3412 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3413 DEMOLISH method present.
3415 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3416 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3417 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3418 type constraint, which allows for a
3419 hand optimized version of the type
3420 constraint to be used when possible.
3421 - Any internally created type constraints
3422 now provide an optimized version as well.
3424 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3426 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3427 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3428 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3430 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3431 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3432 your class namespace of these exported
3435 * Moose::Meta::Class
3436 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3437 comes up during global destruction
3439 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3443 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3446 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3447 - changed how we do type checks so that
3448 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3451 - moved accessor generation methods to
3452 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3453 conform to the API changes from
3456 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3457 - changed how constraints are compiled
3458 so that we do less recursion and more
3459 iteration. This makes the type check
3461 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3464 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3465 - created this from methods formerly found in
3466 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3468 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3469 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3471 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3472 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3474 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3475 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3477 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3479 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3480 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3481 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3482 - added tests for this
3483 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3484 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3485 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3486 - removed tests for this
3488 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3490 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3491 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3492 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3495 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3496 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3497 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3499 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3500 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3501 comments for more info.
3504 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3505 asked questions and common problems
3507 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3508 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3509 - added tests for this
3511 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3512 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3513 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3514 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3516 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3517 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3520 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3521 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3522 is much appreciated :)
3523 - added tests for this
3525 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3526 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3527 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3530 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3531 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3533 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3535 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3536 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3540 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3541 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3542 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3544 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3546 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3549 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3550 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3551 keywords because we need to localize them.
3552 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3554 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3555 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3556 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3559 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3562 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3563 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3564 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3567 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3568 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3569 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3571 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3573 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3574 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3575 bottom of your class file.
3578 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3581 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3583 - improved error message when loading modules so
3584 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3585 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3586 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3589 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3590 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3591 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3593 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3594 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3596 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3597 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3598 turn them on for you.
3599 - added tests for this
3600 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3601 in Moose::Meta::Class
3604 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
3605 automatically turned on for you.

3627 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
3628 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3629 - This release works in combination with
3630 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3631 release because it uses the a new
3632 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3633 complete Role implementation. It has
3634 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3635 the the previous CPAN version. This
3636 release also lacks good updated docs,
3637 the official release will have updated docs.
3640 - refactored the keyword exports
3641 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3642 accepts more than one Role at a time
3643 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3644 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3647 - refactored the keyword exports
3648 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3649 accepts more than one Role at a time
3651 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3652 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3653 string enumerations which can be used as
3655 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3658 - more careful checking of params to new()
3661 - much work done on the role composition
3662 - many new tests for conflict detection
3663 and composition edge cases
3664 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3665 looking at the tests
3667 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3668 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3669 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3671 * Moose::Meta::Class

3674 - some small additions to support Roles
3676 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3677 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3679 - some small changes to support the new
3681 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3682 with the 'handles' option
3683 - added several tests for this
3684 - no docs for this yet
3686 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
3688 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3689 thanks to chansen for this commit
3690 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3691 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3692 on a per-attribute basis
3693 - added tests for this
3694 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3695 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3696 experimental feature and probably not finished
3697 see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
3698 more details, or ask about it on #moose
3699 - added tests for this

3761 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
3763 - added test for this
