1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * The Array and Hash native traits now provide a "shallow_clone" method,
9 which will return a reference to a new container with the same contents as
10 the attribute's reference.
14 * The Moose::Exporter module now has a "meta_lookup" option when creating an
15 importer. This allows you to specify an alternate method for determining
16 the metaclass of a caller. This is useful for modules like
17 MooseX::Role::Parameterized which generate new metaclasses on the
22 * When specifying an attribute trait, passing options for the trait besides
23 -alias or -excludes caused a warning. However, passing other options is
24 totally valid when using MooseX::Role::Parameterized. (sartak)
26 * Allow regexp objects in duck_type constraints (to bring this in line with
27 the Object constraint)
31 * The optimize_as option for type constraints has been deprecated. Use the
32 inline_as option to provide inlining code instead. (Dave Rolsky)
34 2.0204 Thu, Aug 25, 2011
38 * Validating duck_type type constraint turned out to work only by accident,
39 and only when not running under the debugger. This has been fixed.
44 * Loosen the dependency on ExtUtils::ParseXS.
46 2.0203 Tue, Aug 23, 2011
50 * is_class_loaded now properly detects packages which have a version object
53 * Fix XS compilation under blead.
55 2.0202 Tue, Jul 26, 2011
59 * Be more consistent about how type constraint messages are handled.
61 2.0201 Fri, Jul 22, 2011
65 * Moose::Util::does_role shouldn't call ->does on things that don't inherit
68 * Make ->does initialize the metaclass, so that calling it as a class method
69 on a class which sets up inheritance via some method other than extends
70 works properly (this fixes an issue with MooseX::Types).
72 * Make Dist::CheckConflicts a runtime requirement, so moose-outdated always
75 2.0200 Mon, Jul 18, 2011
79 * No changes from 2.0105 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
81 2.0105-TRIAL Mon, Jun 27, 2011
85 * Moose::Util::does_role now respects overridden ->does methods. (doy)
87 2.0104-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
91 * Include changes from 2.0010.
93 2.0103-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
97 * Several things that have been deprecated for a while have been removed. See
98 the 2.0000 section in Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
102 * New Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::union function for creating union type
103 constraints without having to rely on the string type constraint parsing.
104 This also allows for creating unions of anonymous type constraints.
109 * Include changes from Moose 2.0009.
111 2.0102-TRIAL Sat, Jun 18, 2011
115 * The native Array trait now has a 'first_index' method, which works just
116 like the version in List::MoreUtils. (Karen Etheridge)
118 * Clean up some internal code to help out extensions.
122 * Include changes from Moose 2.0008.
124 2.0101-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
128 * Various packaging issues.
130 2.0100-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
134 * Using a hand-optimized type constraint is now deprecated. In keeping with
135 our release policy, this won't actually start warning until the 2.0200
140 * Type constraints can now provide inlined versions, which should make
141 inlined code which uses type constraints (such as accessors) faster. This
142 replaces the existing hand-optimized constraint feature. (Dave Rolsky)
146 * Remove a lot of cases where generated methods closed over meta objects.
147 Most simple cases should now only close over simple data types and
148 coderefs. This should make deparsing simpler.
150 2.0010 Mon, Jun 20, 2011
154 * Fix regression in 2.0009 and 2.0103 when applying roles during init_meta in
155 an exporter that also re-exports Moose or Moose::Role. (t0m, ilmari)
157 2.0009 Sun, Jun 19, 2011
161 * duck_type type constraints now report reasonable errors when given
162 something which isn't an instance of an object. (t0m)
164 * Moose::Util::apply_all_roles now works even if the applicant is a non-Moose
167 * When an object is reblessed, triggers are called on attributes that are
168 set during the reblessing. (Karen Etheridge).
172 * Better error message if Moose->init_meta is called with a 'metaclass'
173 option when that metaclass hasn't been loaded. (jasonmay)
175 2.0008 Thu, Jun 16, 2011
179 * The 'accessor' native delegation for hashrefs now allows setting the value
180 to undef. (sugoik, doy)
184 * Various generated methods have more useful context information. (doy)
186 2.0007 Sun, May 15, 2011
190 * Make sure weak attributes remain weak when cloning. (doy, rafl)
192 2.0006 Mon, May 09, 2011
196 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
197 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
199 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
203 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
205 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
209 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
211 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
212 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
214 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
218 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
219 skips every other role. (rjbs)
221 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
222 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
223 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
224 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
225 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
227 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
231 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
232 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
233 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
236 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
241 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
243 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
244 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
246 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
250 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
251 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
252 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
256 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
257 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
259 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
260 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
262 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
263 environments. (doy, mateu)
265 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
269 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
270 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
271 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
272 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
276 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
277 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
279 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
283 * Update conflicts list.
286 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
290 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
291 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
292 details. (Dave Rolsky)
294 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
295 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
296 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
297 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
298 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
302 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
303 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
304 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
305 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
306 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
309 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
313 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
314 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
316 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
319 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
323 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
324 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
325 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
326 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
328 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
329 immutable classes). (mo)
331 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
332 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
333 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
335 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
339 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
341 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
343 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
347 * Fix some indexing issues.
349 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
351 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
355 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
356 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
357 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
358 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
359 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
361 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
362 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
367 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
368 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
369 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
370 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
372 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
373 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
374 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
378 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
379 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
382 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
386 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
387 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
391 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
395 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
396 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
397 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
398 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
401 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
405 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
408 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
412 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
413 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
414 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
417 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
421 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
422 policy. (Chris Prather)
424 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
425 on this new support policy. (doy)
429 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
430 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
431 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
433 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
434 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
436 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
440 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
441 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
442 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
443 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
446 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
450 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
451 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
454 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
458 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
459 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
461 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
462 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
466 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
467 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
468 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
469 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
470 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
471 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
473 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
474 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
476 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
477 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
478 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
479 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
481 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
482 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
484 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
489 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
490 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
492 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
496 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
497 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
498 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
500 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
504 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
505 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
506 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
508 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
509 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
512 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
513 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
516 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
517 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
518 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
520 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
521 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
526 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
527 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
528 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
529 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
531 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
532 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
534 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
535 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
537 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
538 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
539 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
540 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
542 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
543 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
544 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
547 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
548 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
549 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
550 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
552 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
553 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
556 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
557 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
558 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
560 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
564 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
565 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
566 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
568 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
569 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
570 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
573 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
574 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
575 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
577 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
578 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
579 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
581 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
582 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
586 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
587 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
588 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
590 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
591 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
592 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
593 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
595 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
599 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
600 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
601 value is a reference.
603 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
604 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
606 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
610 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
611 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
612 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
614 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
618 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
619 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
623 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
624 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
625 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
627 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
628 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
629 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
631 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
635 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
637 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
641 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
643 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
644 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
649 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
650 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
652 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
653 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
654 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
655 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
656 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
658 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
659 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
660 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
661 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
663 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
667 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
668 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
673 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
675 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
677 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
682 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
684 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
688 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
689 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
690 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
692 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
693 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
694 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
695 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
697 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
698 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
699 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
700 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
701 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
704 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
709 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
710 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
711 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
712 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
713 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
716 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
720 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
723 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
724 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
728 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
729 function (not just method). (doy)
733 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
734 and aren't easily installable/testable.
736 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
740 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
741 to be overridden more easily (doy).
743 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
747 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
748 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
750 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
754 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
755 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
756 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
758 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
762 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
763 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
764 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
766 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
767 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
771 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
772 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
774 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
775 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
779 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
780 is applied to a class (t0m).
782 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
783 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
785 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
788 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
789 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
791 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
792 be much more robust. (doy)
794 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
796 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
799 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
803 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
804 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
806 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
810 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
811 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
813 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
816 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
817 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
818 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
820 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
821 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
822 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
825 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
827 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
831 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
832 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
836 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
838 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
842 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
843 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
847 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
848 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
852 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
854 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
858 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
859 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
863 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
864 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
868 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
869 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
871 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
875 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
876 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
877 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
880 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
884 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
885 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
886 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
887 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
889 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
893 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
894 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
895 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
899 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
902 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
906 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
907 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
908 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
912 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
913 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
915 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
916 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
917 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
918 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
920 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
924 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
928 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
929 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
931 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
932 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
933 - Moose::Util::does_role
934 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
935 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
936 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
938 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
942 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
943 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
944 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
947 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
951 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
952 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
955 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
959 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
960 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
963 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
967 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
969 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
970 class. (Dave Rolsky).
972 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
973 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
974 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
976 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
977 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
978 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
981 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
982 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
984 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
985 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
986 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
988 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
990 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
991 substr et al, again. (sorear)
993 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
995 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
998 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
999 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
1001 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
1002 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
1004 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
1005 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
1006 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
1007 dependencies installed.
1009 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
1010 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
1013 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
1015 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
1019 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1021 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1022 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
1023 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
1025 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1026 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
1027 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
1029 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
1030 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
1033 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
1034 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
1035 others. (nothingmuch)
1037 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1038 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
1039 remove_accessors. (doy)
1041 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1042 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
1043 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
1045 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
1046 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
1048 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
1049 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1050 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
1051 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
1053 * Moose::Meta::Class
1054 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
1055 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
1057 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1058 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
1060 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
1062 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
1063 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
1066 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1067 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
1068 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
1069 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
1070 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
1072 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
1073 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
1074 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
1075 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
1076 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
1077 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
1078 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
1081 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
1082 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
1083 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
1084 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
1085 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
1087 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
1088 which were not receiving the value of
1089 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
1090 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
1091 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
1092 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
1096 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
1097 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
1098 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
1099 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
1100 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
1103 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1104 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
1105 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
1106 - added tests for this (Stevan)
1108 * Moose::Meta::Class
1109 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
1110 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
1111 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
1114 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
1115 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1116 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
1118 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1119 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
1120 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
1123 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
1124 class if you pass it options for
1125 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
1126 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
1127 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
1128 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
1129 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
1130 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
1131 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
1132 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
1133 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
1135 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1136 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
1137 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
1138 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
1139 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
1142 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
1143 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1144 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
1145 existing delegation API. (hdp)
1147 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1148 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
1149 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
1150 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
1151 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
1152 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
1155 * Moose::Error::Croak
1156 * Moose::Error::Confess
1157 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
1158 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
1161 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
1164 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
1165 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
1166 installing a broken sub. (doy)
1168 * Moose::Meta::Class
1169 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
1172 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
1173 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1174 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
1176 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1177 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1178 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
1179 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
1180 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
1182 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1183 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
1186 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
1188 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1189 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1192 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1193 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1195 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1196 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1197 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1198 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1200 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1201 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1202 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1203 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1204 using it for new code!
1206 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1207 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1208 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1209 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1211 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1212 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1213 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1214 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1215 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1216 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1217 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1218 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1221 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1224 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1225 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1228 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1229 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1231 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1232 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1233 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1235 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1236 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1237 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1238 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1240 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1241 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1242 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1244 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1245 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1246 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1249 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1250 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1251 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1252 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1253 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1254 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1256 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1258 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1261 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1262 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1263 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1265 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1266 associated_methods. (hdp)
1267 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1268 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1269 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1270 misspelled) arguments
1272 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1273 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1274 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1275 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1277 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1278 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1279 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1281 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1284 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1285 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1286 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1289 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1290 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1292 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1293 * Moose::Meta::Class
1294 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1295 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1297 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1298 * Moose::Manual::Types
1299 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1300 string parsing rathole (mst)
1302 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1303 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1304 using plain objects instead
1306 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1307 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1308 that's what we need.
1310 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1311 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1312 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1313 three times today (perigrin)
1314 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1315 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1317 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1318 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1319 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1320 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1323 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1324 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1325 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1326 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1327 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1328 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1331 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1332 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1333 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1334 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1337 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1339 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1342 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1344 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1347 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1348 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1349 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1353 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1354 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1357 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1358 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1360 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1361 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1362 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1364 * Moose::Unsweetened
1365 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1367 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1368 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1371 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1375 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1376 methods during global destruction (doy)
1378 * Moose::Meta::Class
1379 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1380 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1381 consumption (Sartak)
1383 * Moose::Meta::Class
1384 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1385 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1388 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1389 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1392 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1393 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1395 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1397 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1401 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1402 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1403 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1406 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1407 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1408 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1411 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1413 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1414 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1415 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1418 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1419 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1420 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1421 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1423 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1424 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1425 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1428 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1431 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1432 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1433 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1437 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1438 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1440 * Moose::Meta::Class
1441 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1443 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1445 * Moose::Meta::Class
1446 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1447 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1450 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1451 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1454 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1455 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1458 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1461 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1463 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1464 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1467 * Moose::Meta::Class
1468 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1470 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1471 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1474 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1475 * More deprecations and renamings
1476 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1477 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1478 when an object is constructed)
1481 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1482 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1483 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1485 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1486 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1487 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1488 feature, and it works again.
1491 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1493 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1495 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1496 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1497 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1499 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1500 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1501 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1502 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1503 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1505 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1506 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1507 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1508 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1509 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1512 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1513 metaclass object. (hdp)
1515 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1516 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1517 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1518 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1519 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1520 point out this fact. (hdp)
1522 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1523 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1525 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1526 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1528 * Moose::Meta::Class
1529 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1530 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1531 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1532 called during instance construction were passed the
1533 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1534 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1536 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1537 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1540 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1541 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1542 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1545 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1546 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1547 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1548 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1549 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1551 - Moose::Meta::Class
1552 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1554 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1555 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1556 when an object is constructed)
1557 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1559 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1560 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1561 when an object is constructed)
1562 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1563 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1564 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1567 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1569 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1570 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1572 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1574 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1575 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1576 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1578 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1579 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1580 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1582 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1584 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1585 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1587 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1588 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1591 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1592 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1595 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1596 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1597 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1599 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1600 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1604 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1605 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1606 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1608 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1609 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1612 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1613 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1614 with recommended workarounds.
1616 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1617 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1619 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1620 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1621 (yes, spelled like that).
1623 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1624 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1626 * Moose::Meta::Class
1627 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1628 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1630 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1632 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1633 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1634 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1635 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1636 instead. Reported by doy.
1638 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1640 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1641 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1643 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1644 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1645 message) is now deprecated.
1646 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1647 often got it wrong. For example:
1649 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1651 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1655 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1656 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1657 bite you in weird cases.
1659 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1660 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1661 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1662 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1664 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1665 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1669 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1672 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1673 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1676 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1677 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1679 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1680 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1683 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1684 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1685 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1686 - added tests for this (stevan)
1688 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1689 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1690 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1691 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1695 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1696 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1697 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1698 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1700 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1701 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1702 - added tests for this (rafl)
1704 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1705 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1706 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1707 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1711 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1712 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1715 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1716 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1717 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1719 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1721 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1722 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1724 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1725 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1726 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1727 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1728 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1730 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1731 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1732 error message did not specify the attribute name
1735 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1737 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1739 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1740 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1741 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1743 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1744 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1747 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1749 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1750 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1751 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1752 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1754 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1756 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1757 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1758 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1759 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1761 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1762 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1763 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1765 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1766 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1767 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1768 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1769 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1771 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1772 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1773 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1774 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1775 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1777 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1778 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1779 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1780 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1781 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1782 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1784 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1785 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1786 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1787 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1788 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1789 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1791 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1792 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1794 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1795 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1796 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1797 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1799 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1800 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1803 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1807 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1808 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1810 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1811 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1812 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1813 guts. (nothingmuch).
1815 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1816 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1817 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1819 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1820 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1821 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1822 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1824 * Moose::Meta::Class
1825 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1828 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1829 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1831 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1832 * Moose::Unsweetened
1833 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1836 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1837 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1838 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1839 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1840 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1841 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1843 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1844 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1845 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1846 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1847 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1848 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1849 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1850 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1851 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1852 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1854 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1856 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1857 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1859 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1860 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1861 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1862 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1864 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1865 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1866 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1867 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1868 same methods for a single role did not work
1869 right (worked just fine with multiple
1871 - added test for this (stevan)
1873 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1874 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1875 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1878 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1879 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1880 - added test for this (t0m)
1883 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1884 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1885 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1887 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1888 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1889 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1890 - added test for this (t0m)
1892 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1893 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1894 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1895 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1896 - added test for this (perigrin)
1899 - create method for constructing a role
1900 dynamically (Sartak)
1901 - added test for this (Sartak)
1902 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1903 - added test for this (Sartak)
1906 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1908 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1909 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1910 methods is useful (Sartak)
1912 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1913 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1914 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1917 * Moose::Meta::Class
1918 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1919 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1920 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1921 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1922 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1923 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1926 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1927 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1929 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1930 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1931 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1932 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1933 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1935 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1937 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1938 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1939 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1942 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1943 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1944 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1945 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1946 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1947 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1950 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1951 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1952 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1953 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1954 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1955 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1956 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1957 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1958 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1959 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1960 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1962 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1963 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1966 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1967 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1968 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1969 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1970 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1972 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1974 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1975 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1976 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1978 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1979 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1981 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1982 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1983 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1984 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1987 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1988 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1990 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1992 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1993 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1995 * Moose::Meta::Class
1996 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1997 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1998 a required attribute
2000 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
2001 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
2002 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
2003 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
2005 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2006 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
2008 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2009 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
2010 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
2011 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
2012 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
2013 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
2014 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
2015 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
2017 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
2018 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
2019 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
2021 * Roles and role application
2022 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
2023 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
2024 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
2025 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
2026 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
2028 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
2029 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
2032 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
2033 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
2034 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
2035 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
2036 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
2039 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
2040 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
2041 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
2042 changes in the Moose internals.
2044 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
2045 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2046 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
2049 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2050 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
2051 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
2052 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
2054 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2055 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
2056 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
2057 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
2059 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2060 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
2061 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
2062 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
2063 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
2064 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
2065 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
2066 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
2067 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
2068 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
2069 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
2070 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
2071 constraint implementations.
2073 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
2077 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
2078 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
2079 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
2080 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
2081 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
2082 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
2083 - added tests for this (rafl)
2085 * Moose::Meta::Class
2086 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
2087 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
2088 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
2089 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
2090 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
2091 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
2092 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
2093 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
2096 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
2097 - added tests for this (thepler)
2099 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2100 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
2101 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
2102 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
2105 * Moose::Meta::Class
2106 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2107 * Moose::Meta::Method
2110 * Moose::Error::Default
2111 * Moose::Error::Croak
2112 * Moose::Error::Confess
2113 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
2114 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
2115 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
2116 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
2117 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
2118 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
2120 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
2122 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
2123 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
2125 * Moose::Unsweetened
2126 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
2127 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
2128 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
2130 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2131 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
2132 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
2133 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
2134 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2137 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
2138 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
2140 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
2141 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
2142 several major changes in this release of Moose.

2183 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
2185 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2186 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
2189 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2190 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
2191 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
2192 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
2193 coincidental exception. (t0m).
2194 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2196 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2197 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
2199 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2201 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
2202 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"

2209 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
2211 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008

2219 - added test for this (t0m)
2221 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2222 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
2223 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
2225 - added test for this (t0m)
2228 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
2229 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
2230 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
2233 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
2234 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
2236 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'

2239 easier (Dave Rolsky)
2241 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1

2273 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
2275 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
2276 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2277 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
2278 created so that the process can be more easily

2313 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
2314 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
2316 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2317 ... this is not my day today ...
2319 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2320 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2321 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2322 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2323 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2326 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2327 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2328 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2329 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2330 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2333 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2335 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2336 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
2337 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
2338 this is not ever something you want to do
2339 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
2340 - added tests for this (stevan)
2343 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
2345 - added test for this

2358 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
2361 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
2363 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
2365 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
2368 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2369 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2370 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2371 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2372 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2373 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2374 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2375 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2376 - added tests for this
2378 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2379 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
2380 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
2381 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by

2474 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2475 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
2476 method for immutablization to check if the
2477 destructor object even needs to be created
2480 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2481 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2482 - added more descriptive error message to help
2483 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
2484 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
2486 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
2488 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
2489 XS based functionality is now optional
2490 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2491 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2492 can now be used to force non-XS versions
2494 - several of the packages have been tweaked
2495 to take care of this, mostly we added
2496 support for the package_name and name

2499 support regexp matching of names
2500 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)

2502 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
2503 is currently not supported in roles,
2504 but, ... patches welcome
2505 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2506 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2507 the stack trace is usually not helpful

2511 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2512 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2513 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the

2516 - added test for this
2518 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

2565 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
2566 ->body when looping through the
2567 methods, to avoid the overloaded
2569 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
2570 eating the $@ values, and so not
2571 working correctly, it still kind of
2572 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
2573 - added tests for this
2575 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
2576 - added new recipe for immutable
2577 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)

2595 drink more coffee before
2596 doing release engineering
2598 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,

2713 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2715 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
2716 that come from recently composed roles. It makes
2717 sense, people are using it, and so why not just

2755 from a role, it works and makes sense too.
2757 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2758 - fix handles so that it doesn't return nothing
2759 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
2760 it ever did this originally, this means we now

3006 - added tests for this
3009 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
3010 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

3053 when they encounter overriden or modified
3054 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
3055 - added tests for this
3057 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
3058 - fixed the type notation parser so that
3059 the | always creates a union and so is
3060 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
3061 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
3063 - added more tests for this
3065 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
3068 * Parameterized Types
3069 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
3070 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
3071 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
3072 They can also be nested:
3073 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
3074 And work with the type unions as well:
3075 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
3077 * Better Framework Extendability
3078 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
3079 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
3080 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
3081 section of the Moose.pm docs.
3084 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
3085 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
3086 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
3087 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
3090 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
3092 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of

3321 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3322 so that you can actually document your
3323 attributes and inspect them through the

3327 * Moose::Meta::Class
3328 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3329 it will first look in for the class in the
3330 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3331 then default to just loading $name.
3332 - added tests and docs for this
3334 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3335 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3336 - added test for this

3341 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3342 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3344 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3345 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3348 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3350 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3351 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3352 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3355 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3356 !! for this developer release to work !!
3358 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3359 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3360 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3361 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3362 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3363 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3364 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3365 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3366 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3367 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3368 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3370 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3371 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3372 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3373 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3376 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3377 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3378 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3379 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3380 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3382 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3384 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3385 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3388 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3389 called unless they actually need to be.
3390 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3391 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3392 DEMOLISH method present.
3394 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3395 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3396 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3397 type constraint, which allows for a
3398 hand optimized version of the type
3399 constraint to be used when possible.
3400 - Any internally created type constraints
3401 now provide an optimized version as well.
3403 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3405 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3406 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3407 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3409 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3410 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3411 your class namespace of these exported
3414 * Moose::Meta::Class
3415 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3416 comes up during global destruction
3418 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3422 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3425 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3426 - changed how we do type checks so that
3427 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3430 - moved accessor generation methods to
3431 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3432 conform to the API changes from
3435 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3436 - changed how constraints are compiled
3437 so that we do less recursion and more
3438 iteration. This makes the type check
3440 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3443 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3444 - created this from methods formerly found in
3445 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3447 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3448 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3450 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3451 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3453 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3454 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3456 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3458 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3459 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3460 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3461 - added tests for this
3462 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3463 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3464 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3465 - removed tests for this
3467 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3469 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3470 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3471 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3474 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3475 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3476 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3478 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3479 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3480 comments for more info.
3483 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3484 asked questions and common problems
3486 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3487 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3488 - added tests for this
3490 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3491 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3492 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3493 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3495 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3496 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3499 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3500 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3501 is much appreciated :)
3502 - added tests for this
3504 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3505 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3506 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3509 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3510 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3512 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3514 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3515 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3519 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3520 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3521 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3523 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3525 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3528 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3529 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3530 keywords because we need to localize them.
3531 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3533 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3534 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3535 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3538 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3541 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3542 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3543 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3546 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3547 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3548 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3550 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3552 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3553 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3554 bottom of your class file.
3557 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3560 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3562 - improved error message when loading modules so
3563 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3564 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3565 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3568 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3569 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3570 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3572 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3573 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3575 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3576 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3577 turn them on for you.
3578 - added tests for this
3579 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3580 in Moose::Meta::Class
3583 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
3584 automatically turned on for you.

3588 - now handles an edge case for override errors
3589 - added tests for this

3603 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
3606 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
3607 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3608 - This release works in combination with
3609 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3610 release because it uses the a new
3611 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3612 complete Role implementation. It has
3613 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3614 the the previous CPAN version. This
3615 release also lacks good updated docs,
3616 the official release will have updated docs.
3619 - refactored the keyword exports
3620 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3621 accepts more than one Role at a time
3622 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3623 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3626 - refactored the keyword exports
3627 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3628 accepts more than one Role at a time
3630 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3631 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3632 string enumerations which can be used as
3634 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3637 - more careful checking of params to new()
3640 - much work done on the role composition
3641 - many new tests for conflict detection
3642 and composition edge cases
3643 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3644 looking at the tests
3646 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3647 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3648 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3650 * Moose::Meta::Class
3651 - some small changes to support the new
3653 - some small additions to support Roles
3655 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3656 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3658 - some small changes to support the new
3660 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3661 with the 'handles' option
3662 - added several tests for this
3663 - no docs for this yet
3665 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
3667 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3668 thanks to chansen for this commit
3669 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3670 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3671 on a per-attribute basis
3672 - added tests for this
3673 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3674 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3675 experimental feature and probably not finished
3676 see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
3677 more details, or ask about it on #moose
3678 - added tests for this

3740 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
3742 - added test for this
3745 - this class can now be extended with 'use base' if
