1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
9 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
10 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
14 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
15 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
17 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
18 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
20 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
21 environments. (doy, mateu)
23 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
27 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
28 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
29 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
30 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
34 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
35 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
37 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
41 * Update conflicts list.
44 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
48 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
49 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
50 details. (Dave Rolsky)
52 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
53 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
54 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
55 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
56 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
60 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
61 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
62 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
63 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
64 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
67 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
71 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
72 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
74 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
77 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
81 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
82 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
83 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
84 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
86 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
87 immutable classes). (mo)
89 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
90 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
91 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
93 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
97 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
99 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
101 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
105 * Fix some indexing issues.
107 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
109 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
113 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
114 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
115 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
116 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
117 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
119 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
120 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
125 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
126 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
127 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
128 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
130 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
131 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
132 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
136 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
137 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
140 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
144 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
145 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
149 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
153 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
154 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
155 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
156 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
159 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
163 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
166 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
170 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
171 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
172 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
175 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
179 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
180 policy. (Chris Prather)
182 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
183 on this new support policy. (doy)
187 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
188 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
189 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
191 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
192 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
194 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
198 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
199 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
200 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
201 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
204 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
208 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
209 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
212 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
216 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
217 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
219 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
220 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
224 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
225 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
226 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
227 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
228 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
229 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
231 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
232 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
234 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
235 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
236 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
237 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
239 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
240 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
242 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
247 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
248 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
250 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
254 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
255 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
256 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
258 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
262 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
263 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
264 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
266 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
267 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
270 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
271 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
274 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
275 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
276 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
278 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
279 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
284 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
285 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
286 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
287 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
289 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
290 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
292 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
293 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
295 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
296 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
297 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
298 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
300 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
301 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
302 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
305 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
306 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
307 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
308 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
310 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
311 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
314 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
315 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
316 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
318 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
322 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
323 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
324 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
326 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
327 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
328 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
331 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
332 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
333 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
335 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
336 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
337 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
339 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
340 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
344 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
345 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
346 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
348 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
349 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
350 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
351 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
353 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
357 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
358 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
359 value is a reference.
361 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
362 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
364 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
368 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
369 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
370 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
372 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
376 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
377 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
381 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
382 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
383 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
385 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
386 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
387 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
389 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
393 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
395 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
399 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
401 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
402 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
407 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
408 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
410 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
411 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
412 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
413 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
414 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
416 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
417 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
418 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
419 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
421 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
425 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
426 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
431 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
433 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
435 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
440 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
442 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
446 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
447 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
448 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
450 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
451 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
452 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
453 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
455 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
456 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
457 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
458 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
459 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
462 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
467 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
468 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
469 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
470 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
471 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
474 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
478 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
481 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
482 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
486 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
487 function (not just method). (doy)
491 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
492 and aren't easily installable/testable.
494 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
498 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
499 to be overridden more easily (doy).
501 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
505 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
506 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
508 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
512 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
513 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
514 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
516 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
520 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
521 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
522 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
524 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
525 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
529 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
530 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
532 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
533 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
537 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
538 is applied to a class (t0m).
540 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
541 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
543 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
546 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
547 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
549 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
550 be much more robust. (doy)
552 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
554 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
557 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
561 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
562 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
564 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
568 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
569 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
571 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
574 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
575 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
576 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
578 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
579 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
580 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
583 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
585 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
589 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
590 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
594 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
596 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
600 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
601 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
605 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
606 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
610 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
612 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
616 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
617 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
621 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
622 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
626 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
627 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
629 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
633 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
634 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
635 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
638 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
642 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
643 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
644 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
645 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
647 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
651 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
652 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
653 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
657 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
660 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
664 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
665 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
666 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
670 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
671 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
673 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
674 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
675 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
676 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
678 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
682 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
686 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
687 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
689 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
690 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
691 - Moose::Util::does_role
692 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
693 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
694 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
696 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
700 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
701 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
702 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
705 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
709 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
710 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
713 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
717 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
718 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
721 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
725 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
727 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
728 class. (Dave Rolsky).
730 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
731 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
732 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
734 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
735 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
736 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
739 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
740 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
742 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
743 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
744 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
746 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
748 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
749 substr et al, again. (sorear)
751 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
753 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
756 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
757 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
759 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
760 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
762 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
763 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
764 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
765 dependencies installed.
767 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
768 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
771 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
773 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
777 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
779 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
780 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
781 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
783 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
784 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
785 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
787 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
788 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
791 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
792 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
793 others. (nothingmuch)
795 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
796 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
797 remove_accessors. (doy)
799 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
800 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
801 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
803 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
804 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
806 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
807 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
808 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
809 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
812 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
813 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
815 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
816 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
818 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
820 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
821 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
824 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
825 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
826 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
827 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
828 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
830 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
831 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
832 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
833 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
834 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
835 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
836 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
839 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
840 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
841 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
842 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
843 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
845 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
846 which were not receiving the value of
847 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
848 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
849 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
850 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
854 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
855 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
856 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
857 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
858 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
861 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
862 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
863 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
864 - added tests for this (Stevan)
867 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
868 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
869 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
872 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
873 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
874 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
876 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
877 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
878 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
881 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
882 class if you pass it options for
883 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
884 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
885 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
886 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
887 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
888 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
889 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
890 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
891 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
893 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
894 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
895 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
896 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
897 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
900 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
901 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
902 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
903 existing delegation API. (hdp)
905 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
906 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
907 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
908 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
909 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
910 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
913 * Moose::Error::Croak
914 * Moose::Error::Confess
915 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
916 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
919 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
922 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
923 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
924 installing a broken sub. (doy)
927 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
930 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
931 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
932 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
934 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
935 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
936 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
937 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
938 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
940 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
941 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
944 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
946 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
947 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
950 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
951 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
953 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
954 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
955 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
956 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
958 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
959 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
960 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
961 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
962 using it for new code!
964 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
965 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
966 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
967 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
969 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
970 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
971 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
972 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
973 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
974 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
975 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
976 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
979 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
982 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
983 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
986 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
987 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
989 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
990 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
991 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
994 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
995 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
996 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
999 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1000 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1002 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1003 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1004 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1007 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1008 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1009 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1010 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1011 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1012 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1014 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1016 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1019 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1020 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1021 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1023 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1024 associated_methods. (hdp)
1025 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1026 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1027 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1028 misspelled) arguments
1030 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1031 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1032 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1033 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1035 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1036 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1037 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1039 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1042 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1043 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1044 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1047 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1048 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1050 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1051 * Moose::Meta::Class
1052 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1053 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1055 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1056 * Moose::Manual::Types
1057 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1058 string parsing rathole (mst)
1060 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1061 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1062 using plain objects instead
1064 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1065 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1066 that's what we need.
1068 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1069 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1070 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1071 three times today (perigrin)
1072 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1073 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1075 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1076 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1077 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1078 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1081 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1082 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1083 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1084 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1085 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1086 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1089 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1090 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1091 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1092 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1095 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1097 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1100 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1102 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1105 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1106 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1107 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1111 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1112 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1115 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1116 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1118 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1119 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1120 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1122 * Moose::Unsweetened
1123 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1125 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1126 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1129 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1133 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1134 methods during global destruction (doy)
1136 * Moose::Meta::Class
1137 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1138 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1139 consumption (Sartak)
1141 * Moose::Meta::Class
1142 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1143 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1146 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1147 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1150 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1151 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1153 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1155 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1159 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1160 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1161 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1164 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1165 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1166 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1169 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1171 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1172 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1173 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1176 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1177 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1178 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1179 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1181 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1182 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1183 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1186 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1189 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1190 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1191 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1195 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1196 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1198 * Moose::Meta::Class
1199 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1201 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1203 * Moose::Meta::Class
1204 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1205 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1208 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1209 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1212 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1213 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1216 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1219 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1221 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1222 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1225 * Moose::Meta::Class
1226 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1228 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1229 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1232 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1233 * More deprecations and renamings
1234 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1235 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1236 when an object is constructed)
1239 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1240 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1241 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1243 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1244 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1245 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1246 feature, and it works again.
1249 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1251 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1253 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1254 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1255 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1257 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1258 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1259 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1260 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1261 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1263 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1264 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1265 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1266 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1267 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1270 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1271 metaclass object. (hdp)
1273 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1274 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1275 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1276 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1277 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1278 point out this fact. (hdp)
1280 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1281 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1283 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1284 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1286 * Moose::Meta::Class
1287 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1288 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1289 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1290 called during instance construction were passed the
1291 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1292 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1294 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1295 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1298 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1299 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1300 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1303 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1304 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1305 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1306 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1307 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1309 - Moose::Meta::Class
1310 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1312 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1313 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1314 when an object is constructed)
1315 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1317 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1318 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1319 when an object is constructed)
1320 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1321 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1322 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1325 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1327 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1328 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1330 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1332 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1333 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1334 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1336 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1337 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1338 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1340 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1342 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1343 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1345 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1346 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1349 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1350 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1353 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1354 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1355 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1357 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1358 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1362 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1363 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1364 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1366 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1367 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1370 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1371 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1372 with recommended workarounds.
1374 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1375 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1377 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1378 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1379 (yes, spelled like that).
1381 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1382 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1384 * Moose::Meta::Class
1385 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1386 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1388 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1390 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1391 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1392 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1393 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1394 instead. Reported by doy.
1396 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1398 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1399 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1401 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1402 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1403 message) is now deprecated.
1404 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1405 often got it wrong. For example:
1407 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1409 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1413 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1414 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1415 bite you in weird cases.
1417 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1418 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1419 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1420 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1422 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1423 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1427 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1430 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1431 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1434 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1435 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1437 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1438 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1441 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1442 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1443 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1444 - added tests for this (stevan)
1446 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1447 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1448 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1449 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1453 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1454 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1455 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1456 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1458 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1459 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1460 - added tests for this (rafl)
1462 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1463 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1464 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1465 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1469 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1470 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1473 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1474 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1475 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1477 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1479 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1480 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1482 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1483 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1484 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1485 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1486 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1488 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1489 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1490 error message did not specify the attribute name
1493 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1495 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1497 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1498 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1499 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1501 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1502 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1505 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1507 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1508 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1509 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1510 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1512 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1514 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1515 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1516 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1517 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1519 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1520 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1521 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1523 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1524 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1525 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1526 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1527 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1529 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1530 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1531 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1532 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1533 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1535 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1536 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1537 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1538 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1539 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1540 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1542 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1543 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1544 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1545 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1546 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1547 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1549 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1550 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1552 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1553 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1554 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1555 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1557 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1558 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1561 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1565 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1566 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1568 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1569 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1570 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1571 guts. (nothingmuch).
1573 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1574 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1575 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1577 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1578 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1579 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1580 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1582 * Moose::Meta::Class
1583 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1586 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1587 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1589 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1590 * Moose::Unsweetened
1591 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1594 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1595 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1596 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1597 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1598 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1599 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1601 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1602 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1603 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1604 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1605 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1606 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1607 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1608 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1609 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1610 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1612 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1614 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1615 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1617 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1618 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1619 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1620 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1622 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1623 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1624 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1625 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1626 same methods for a single role did not work
1627 right (worked just fine with multiple
1629 - added test for this (stevan)
1631 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1632 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1633 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1636 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1637 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1638 - added test for this (t0m)
1641 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1642 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1643 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1645 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1646 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1647 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1648 - added test for this (t0m)
1650 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1651 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1652 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1653 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1654 - added test for this (perigrin)
1657 - create method for constructing a role
1658 dynamically (Sartak)
1659 - added test for this (Sartak)
1660 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1661 - added test for this (Sartak)
1664 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1666 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1667 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1668 methods is useful (Sartak)
1670 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1671 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1672 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1675 * Moose::Meta::Class
1676 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1677 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1678 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1679 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1680 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1681 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1684 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1685 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1687 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1688 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1689 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1690 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1691 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1693 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1695 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1696 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1697 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1700 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1701 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1702 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1703 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1704 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1705 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1708 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1709 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1710 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1711 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1712 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1713 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1714 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1715 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1716 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1717 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1718 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1720 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1721 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1724 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1725 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1726 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1727 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1728 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1730 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1732 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1733 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1734 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1736 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1737 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1739 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1740 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1741 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1742 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1745 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1746 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1748 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1750 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1751 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1753 * Moose::Meta::Class
1754 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1755 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1756 a required attribute
1758 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1759 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1760 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1761 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1763 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1764 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1766 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1767 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1768 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1769 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1770 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1771 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1772 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1773 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1775 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1776 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1777 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1779 * Roles and role application
1780 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1781 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1782 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1783 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1784 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1786 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1787 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1790 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1791 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1792 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1793 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1794 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1797 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1798 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1799 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1800 changes in the Moose internals.
1802 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1803 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1804 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1807 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1808 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1809 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1810 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1812 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1813 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1814 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1815 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1817 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1818 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1819 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1820 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1821 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1822 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1823 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1824 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1825 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1826 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1827 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1828 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1829 constraint implementations.
1831 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1835 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1836 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1837 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1838 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1839 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1840 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1841 - added tests for this (rafl)
1843 * Moose::Meta::Class
1844 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1845 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1846 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1847 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1848 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1849 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1850 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1851 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1854 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1855 - added tests for this (thepler)
1857 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1858 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1859 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1860 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1863 * Moose::Meta::Class
1864 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1865 * Moose::Meta::Method
1868 * Moose::Error::Default
1869 * Moose::Error::Croak
1870 * Moose::Error::Confess
1871 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1872 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1873 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1874 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1875 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1876 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1878 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1880 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1881 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1883 * Moose::Unsweetened
1884 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1885 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1886 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1888 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1889 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1890 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1891 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1892 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1895 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1896 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1898 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1899 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1900 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1901 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1904 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1906 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1907 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1909 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1912 - Various bug fixes.
1914 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1915 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1917 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1919 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1920 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1921 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1922 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1923 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1924 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1926 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1927 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1928 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1930 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1931 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1932 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1935 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1936 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1937 dependency to 0.64_07.
1939 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1940 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1941 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1943 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1944 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1947 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1948 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1949 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1950 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1951 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1952 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1954 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1955 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1957 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1959 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1960 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1964 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1965 method when that method was provided by another role being
1966 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1967 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1969 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1971 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1972 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1974 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1975 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1976 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1977 - added test for this (t0m)
1979 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1980 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1981 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1983 - added test for this (t0m)
1986 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1987 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1988 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1991 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1992 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1994 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1996 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1997 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1999 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2000 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
2001 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
2003 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2004 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
2007 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2008 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2009 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
2010 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
2014 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
2015 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
2016 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
2019 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
2020 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
2021 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
2022 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
2025 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
2029 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
2030 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
2031 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
2033 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
2034 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2035 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
2036 created so that the process can be more easily
2037 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
2039 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2040 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
2041 the type constraints (RT #37569)
2042 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
2044 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2045 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
2048 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,

2071 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
2072 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
2074 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2075 ... this is not my day today ...
2077 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2078 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2079 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2080 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2081 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2084 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2085 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2086 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2087 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2088 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2091 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2093 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2094 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
2095 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
2096 this is not ever something you want to do
2097 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
2098 - added tests for this (stevan)
2101 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
2103 - added test for this

2123 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
2126 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2127 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2128 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2129 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2130 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2131 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2132 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2133 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2134 - added tests for this
2136 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2137 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
2138 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
2139 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by

2212 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2213 (late night release engineering)--
2215 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
2216 changes in this release

2240 - added more descriptive error message to help
2241 keep people from wasting time tracking an error

2244 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
2246 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
2247 XS based functionality is now optional
2248 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2249 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2250 can now be used to force non-XS versions
2252 - several of the packages have been tweaked
2253 to take care of this, mostly we added
2254 support for the package_name and name

2324 ->body when looping through the
2325 methods, to avoid the overloaded
2327 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was

2353 drink more coffee before
2354 doing release engineering
2356 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,

2471 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2473 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

2617 0.34 Mon. Jan. 21, 2008
2618 ~~~ more misc. doc. fixes ~~~
2619 ~~ updated copyright dates ~~

2635 is now more efficient and re-uses generated
2636 classes when applicable

2678 - shortened some file names for better VMS support (RT #32381)
2680 0.33 Fri. Dec. 14, 2007
2681 !! Moose now loads 2 x faster !!
2682 !! with new Class::MOP 0.49 !!

2721 - there is now a default constraint of sub { 1 }
2722 instead of Moose::Util::TypeConstraints setting
2725 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2726 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2727 - added the &has_coercion_for_type and
2728 &add_type_coercions methods to support the

2736 now works if the original foo is an ArrayRef.
2737 - added tests for this.
2738 - delegation now works even if the attribute does not
2739 have a reader method using the get_read_method_ref
2740 method from Class::MOP::Attribute.
2741 - added tests for this
2742 - added docs for this
2744 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2745 - passing no "additional attribute info" to
2746 &find_or_create_type_constraint will no longer
2747 attempt to create an __ANON__ type for you,
2748 instead it will just return undef.
2749 - added docs for this
2751 0.30 Fri. Nov. 23, 2007

2762 - fixed it so that subtype 'Foo' => as 'HashRef[Int]' ...
2763 with work correctly.
2764 - added tests for this
2767 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2768 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code
2771 - New tests for builder bug. Upon instantiation, if an
2772 attribute had a builder, no value and was not lazy the
2773 builder default was not getting run, oops. (groditi)
2775 0.29 Tues. Nov. 13, 2007

2807 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
2810 - fixed how required methods are handled
2811 when they encounter overriden or modified
2812 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2813 - added tests for this
2815 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2816 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2817 the | always creates a union and so is
2818 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2819 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2821 - added more tests for this
2823 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2826 * Parameterized Types
2827 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2828 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2829 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2830 They can also be nested:
2831 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2832 And work with the type unions as well:
2833 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2835 * Better Framework Extendability
2836 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2837 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2838 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2839 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2842 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2843 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2844 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2845 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2848 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2850 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
2851 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)

2910 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
2911 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2913 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union

2930 (thanks to shlomif).
2932 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2933 - required attributes now will no longer accept undef
2934 from the constructor, even if there is a default and lazy
2935 - added tests for this
2936 - default subroutines must return a value which passes the
2938 - added tests for this
2940 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2941 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor

2972 - added tests for these
2974 0.24 Tues. July 3, 2007
2975 ~ Some doc updates/cleanup ~
2977 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2978 - added support for roles to be given as parameters

2983 (but not changing the handles option)
2984 - added tests and docs for this
2987 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
2988 so that required methods can come from superclasses

2992 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2993 - fix inlined constructor for hierarchy with multiple BUILD methods (mst)

2999 the other side (perigrin)
3001 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
3002 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3003 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3004 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
3005 prototypes for functions
3006 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
3007 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

3017 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
3020 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
3021 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
3022 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
3023 - added tests for this
3025 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
3027 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

3040 where not handled correctly in roles
3041 - added tests for this
3043 * Moose::Meta::Class
3044 - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
3045 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
3046 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
3048 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
3049 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
3051 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
3052 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
3053 so this release is just to fix that.
3056 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
3057 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
3058 (thanks to konobi for this)
3059 - added tests and docs
3061 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
3062 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
3064 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3065 - 'type' now supports messages as well
3066 thanks to phaylon for finding this
3067 - added tests for this
3068 - added &list_all_type_constraints and
3069 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
3070 functions to facilitate introspection.
3072 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3073 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
3074 to build the list of delegated methods
3075 correctly (and not override important
3076 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
3078 - added tests and docs for this
3079 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3080 so that you can actually document your
3081 attributes and inspect them through the
3083 - added tests and docs for this
3085 * Moose::Meta::Class
3086 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3087 it will first look in for the class in the
3088 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3089 then default to just loading $name.
3090 - added tests and docs for this
3092 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3093 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3094 - added test for this
3097 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
3098 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
3099 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3100 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3102 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3103 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3106 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3108 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3109 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3110 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3113 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3114 !! for this developer release to work !!
3116 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3117 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3118 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3119 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3120 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3121 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3122 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3123 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3124 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3125 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3126 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3128 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3129 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3130 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3131 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3134 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3135 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3136 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3137 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3138 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3140 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3142 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3143 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3146 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3147 called unless they actually need to be.
3148 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3149 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3150 DEMOLISH method present.
3152 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3153 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3154 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3155 type constraint, which allows for a
3156 hand optimized version of the type
3157 constraint to be used when possible.
3158 - Any internally created type constraints
3159 now provide an optimized version as well.
3161 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3163 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3164 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3165 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3167 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3168 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3169 your class namespace of these exported
3172 * Moose::Meta::Class
3173 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3174 comes up during global destruction
3176 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3180 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3183 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3184 - changed how we do type checks so that
3185 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3188 - moved accessor generation methods to
3189 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3190 conform to the API changes from
3193 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3194 - changed how constraints are compiled
3195 so that we do less recursion and more
3196 iteration. This makes the type check
3198 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3201 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3202 - created this from methods formerly found in
3203 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3205 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3206 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3208 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3209 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3211 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3212 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3214 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3216 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3217 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3218 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3219 - added tests for this
3220 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3221 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3222 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3223 - removed tests for this
3225 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3227 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3228 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3229 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3232 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3233 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3234 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3236 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3237 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3238 comments for more info.
3241 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3242 asked questions and common problems
3244 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3245 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3246 - added tests for this
3248 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3249 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3250 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3251 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3253 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3254 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3257 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3258 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3259 is much appreciated :)
3260 - added tests for this
3262 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3263 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3264 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3267 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3268 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3270 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3272 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3273 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3277 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3278 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3279 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3281 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3283 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3286 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3287 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3288 keywords because we need to localize them.
3289 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3291 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3292 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3293 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3296 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3299 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3300 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3301 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3304 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3305 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3306 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3308 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3310 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3311 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3312 bottom of your class file.
3315 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3318 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3320 - improved error message when loading modules so
3321 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3322 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3323 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3326 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3327 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3328 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3330 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3331 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3333 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3334 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3335 turn them on for you.
3336 - added tests for this
3337 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3338 in Moose::Meta::Class
3341 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
3342 automatically turned on for you.
3343 - added tests for this
3346 - now handles an edge case for override errors
3347 - added tests for this
3348 - added some more edge case tests
3350 0.09_02 Tues. May 16, 2006
3351 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3353 - added prototypes to the exported subs
3357 - added prototypes to the exported subs
3360 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3361 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
3364 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
3365 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3366 - This release works in combination with
3367 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3368 release because it uses the a new
3369 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3370 complete Role implementation. It has
3371 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3372 the the previous CPAN version. This
3373 release also lacks good updated docs,
3374 the official release will have updated docs.
3377 - refactored the keyword exports
3378 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3379 accepts more than one Role at a time
3380 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3381 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3384 - refactored the keyword exports
3385 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3386 accepts more than one Role at a time
3388 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3389 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3390 string enumerations which can be used as
3392 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3395 - more careful checking of params to new()
3398 - much work done on the role composition
3399 - many new tests for conflict detection
3400 and composition edge cases
3401 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3402 looking at the tests
3404 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3405 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3406 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3408 * Moose::Meta::Class
3409 - some small changes to support the new
3411 - some small additions to support Roles
3413 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3414 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3416 - some small changes to support the new
3418 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3419 with the 'handles' option
3420 - added several tests for this
3421 - no docs for this yet
3423 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
3425 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3426 thanks to chansen for this commit
3427 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3428 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3429 on a per-attribute basis
3430 - added tests for this
3431 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3432 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3433 experimental feature and probably not finished
3434 see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
3435 more details, or ask about it on #moose
3436 - added tests for this
3439 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3441 * Moose::Utils::TypeConstraints
3442 - reorganized the type constraint hierarchy, thanks

3611 - added type coercion features
3612 - added tests for this
3613 - added support for this in attributes
3614 and instance construction
