1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * Class::MOP::Class now has methods for introspecting and modifying the
9 overloaded operators for a class. (doy)
13 * The cookbook recipes have all been renamed. Instead of numbered recipes
14 (Basics::Recipe1), we now have descriptive names
15 (Basics::Point_AttributesAndSubclassing). This makes it easier for us to
16 add and remove recipes in the future, and makes it a little easier to
17 converse about them, since the name gives us some clue of what they
22 * Re-declaring a class_type or role_type constraint that has already been
23 declared now just returns the original type constraint, rather than
24 replacing the original constraint and ergo losing any coercions that were
25 on the original constraint. Fixes RT #73289. (t0m)
27 * Moose::Exporter now calls init_meta methods in the correct order, when
28 multiple levels of 'also' parameters are specified. Reported by Rocco
29 Caputo. (doy, perigrin)
31 * Moose::Exporter no longer generates init_meta methods in order to apply
32 metaroles, since the metaclass itself isn't guaranteed to exist yet at that
33 point. Metaroles are now applied at the end of import, after all
34 user-defined init_meta methods have been called. Fixes RT #51561. (doy)
36 * Fixed a memory leak. This occurred when creating an anonymous
37 class. Immutabilizing an anonymous class still leaks memory due to a bug in
38 Eval::Closure (which should hopefully be fixed soon). Based on code and bug
39 report from Carlos Lima. RT #74650.
41 * Fix a segfault when adding a method to a class which was defined in a
42 package which was deleted. (doy)
44 2.0402 Sat, Feb 04, 2012
48 * Minor documentation fixes.
50 * Fix test failure on blead (test was unnecessarily strict). Reported by
53 2.0401 Thu, Nov 17, 2011
57 * Attributes with weak_ref now weaken their associated slot when they are
58 initialized through a lazy default or builder. Reported by tome. (doy)
60 2.0400 Tue, Nov 15, 2011
64 * No changes from 2.0302 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
66 2.0302 Wed, Nov 02, 2011
70 * Fix test failure on 5.8. (Dave Rolsky)
72 * Make make_immutable return value consistent and document it to be true.
75 2.0301 Fri, Oct 21, 2011
79 * Fix compilation on 5.8. Reported by ether. (doy)
81 * A custom error class caused a warning when the class that used it was made
82 immutable. Reported by Maroš Kollár. RT #71514. (Dave Rolsky)
86 * The enum type will now allow single value enumerations. Previously, two or
87 more values were required. (rjbs)
89 2.0300 Fri, Sep 23, 2011
93 * The optimize_as option for type constraints has been deprecated. Use the
94 inline_as option to provide inlining code instead. (Dave Rolsky)
98 * Methods to introspect a class's methods will now return methods defined in
99 UNIVERSAL (isa, can, etc.). This also means that you can wrap these
100 methods with method modifiers. RT #69839. Reported by Vyacheslav
101 Matyukhin. (Dave Rolsky)
103 * The ->parent and ->parents method for a union now return the nearest
104 common ancestor of that union's component types. See Moose::Manual::Delta
105 for more details. (Dave Rolsky)
107 * The ->parents method used to return an arrayref for union types, and a
108 list of one or more types for all other types. Now they all return
111 * The ->is_subtype_of and ->is_a_type_of methods have changed their behavior
112 for union types. Previously, they returned true if any of their member
113 types returned true for a given type. Now, all of the member types must
114 return true. RT #67731. (Dave Rolsky)
118 * The Moose::Exporter module now has a "meta_lookup" option when creating an
119 importer. This allows you to specify an alternate method for determining
120 the metaclass of a caller. This is useful for modules like
121 MooseX::Role::Parameterized which generate new metaclasses on the
124 * Added a Moose::Meta::Method->is_stub method. (Dave Rolsky)
128 * A subtype of a union type did not return the right results when you called
129 ->is_subtype_of or ->is_a_type_of on it. This has been fixed. RT
130 #70322. (Dave Rolsky)
132 * An attribute accessor or delegation method can overwrite a stub method and
133 this will no longer throw an error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. RT
134 #69988. (Dave Rolsky)
136 * The error generated by unfulfilled method requirements during role
137 composition now mentions how to work around imported methods not being
138 recognized. Reported by Michael Schwern. RT #60583. (doy)
140 * class_type and role_type will now throw errors if you attempt to use them
141 to override existing types, just like type and subtype have always done.
144 * Implicitly creating class or role types by using them as the 'isa' or
145 'does' parameter to attribute construction will now register the type. This
146 means that it cannot later be redefined as something else. (doy)
148 * $class_type->is_subtype_of no longer returns true if passed the name of the
149 class that the class type represents when the class type wasn't registered.
152 * Removing anonymous metaclasses prematurely no longer prevents reaping of
153 the associated stash. (doy)
157 * The Class::MOP::load_class and Class::MOP::is_class_loaded subroutines are
158 no longer documented, and will cause a deprecation warning in the
159 future. Moose now uses Class::Load to provide this functionality, and you
160 should as well. (Dave Rolsky)
162 2.0205 Tue, Sep 06, 2011
166 * The Array and Hash native traits now provide a "shallow_clone" method,
167 which will return a reference to a new container with the same contents as
168 the attribute's reference.
172 * Specifying an invalid value in a hashref 'handles' value now throws a
173 sensible error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. RT #69990. (Dave
178 * When specifying an attribute trait, passing options for the trait besides
179 -alias or -excludes caused a warning. However, passing other options is
180 totally valid when using MooseX::Role::Parameterized. Fixes RT
183 * Allow regexp objects in duck_type constraints (to bring this in line with
184 the Object constraint).
186 2.0204 Thu, Aug 25, 2011
190 * Validating duck_type type constraint turned out to work only by accident,
191 and only when not running under the debugger. This has been fixed.
196 * Loosen the dependency on ExtUtils::ParseXS.
198 2.0203 Tue, Aug 23, 2011
202 * is_class_loaded now properly detects packages which have a version object
205 * Fix XS compilation under blead.
207 2.0202 Tue, Jul 26, 2011
211 * Be more consistent about how type constraint messages are handled.
213 2.0201 Fri, Jul 22, 2011
217 * Moose::Util::does_role shouldn't call ->does on things that don't inherit
220 * Make ->does initialize the metaclass, so that calling it as a class method
221 on a class which sets up inheritance via some method other than extends
222 works properly (this fixes an issue with MooseX::Types).
224 * Make Dist::CheckConflicts a runtime requirement, so moose-outdated always
227 2.0200 Mon, Jul 18, 2011
231 * No changes from 2.0105 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
233 2.0105-TRIAL Mon, Jun 27, 2011
237 * Moose::Util::does_role now respects overridden ->does methods. (doy)
239 2.0104-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
243 * Include changes from 2.0010.
245 2.0103-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
249 * Several things that have been deprecated for a while have been removed. See
250 the 2.0000 section in Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
254 * New Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::union function for creating union type
255 constraints without having to rely on the string type constraint parsing.
256 This also allows for creating unions of anonymous type constraints.
261 * Include changes from Moose 2.0009.
263 2.0102-TRIAL Sat, Jun 18, 2011
267 * The native Array trait now has a 'first_index' method, which works just
268 like the version in List::MoreUtils. (Karen Etheridge)
270 * Clean up some internal code to help out extensions.
274 * Include changes from Moose 2.0008.
276 2.0101-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
280 * Various packaging issues.
282 2.0100-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
286 * Using a hand-optimized type constraint is now deprecated. In keeping with
287 our release policy, this won't actually start warning until the 2.0200
292 * Type constraints can now provide inlined versions, which should make
293 inlined code which uses type constraints (such as accessors) faster. This
294 replaces the existing hand-optimized constraint feature. (Dave Rolsky)
298 * Remove a lot of cases where generated methods closed over meta objects.
299 Most simple cases should now only close over simple data types and
300 coderefs. This should make deparsing simpler.
302 2.0010 Mon, Jun 20, 2011
306 * Fix regression in 2.0009 and 2.0103 when applying roles during init_meta in
307 an exporter that also re-exports Moose or Moose::Role. (t0m, ilmari)
309 2.0009 Sun, Jun 19, 2011
313 * duck_type type constraints now report reasonable errors when given
314 something which isn't an instance of an object. (t0m)
316 * Moose::Util::apply_all_roles now works even if the applicant is a non-Moose
319 * When an object is reblessed, triggers are called on attributes that are
320 set during the reblessing. (Karen Etheridge).
324 * Better error message if Moose->init_meta is called with a 'metaclass'
325 option when that metaclass hasn't been loaded. (jasonmay)
327 2.0008 Thu, Jun 16, 2011
331 * The 'accessor' native delegation for hashrefs now allows setting the value
332 to undef. (sugoik, doy)
336 * Various generated methods have more useful context information. (doy)
338 2.0007 Sun, May 15, 2011
342 * Make sure weak attributes remain weak when cloning. (doy, rafl)
344 2.0006 Mon, May 09, 2011
348 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
349 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
351 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
355 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
357 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
361 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
363 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
364 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
366 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
370 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
371 skips every other role. (rjbs)
373 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
374 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
375 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
376 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
377 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
379 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
383 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
384 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
385 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
388 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
393 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
395 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
396 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
398 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
402 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
403 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
404 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
408 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
409 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
411 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
412 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
414 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
415 environments. (doy, mateu)
417 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
421 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
422 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
423 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
424 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
428 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
429 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
431 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
435 * Update conflicts list.
438 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
442 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
443 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
444 details. (Dave Rolsky)
446 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
447 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
448 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
449 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
450 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
454 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
455 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
456 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
457 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
458 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
461 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
465 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
466 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
468 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
471 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
475 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
476 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
477 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
478 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
480 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
481 immutable classes). (mo)
483 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
484 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
485 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
487 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
491 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
493 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
495 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
499 * Fix some indexing issues.
501 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
503 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
507 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
508 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
509 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
510 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
511 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
513 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
514 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
519 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
520 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
521 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
522 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
524 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
525 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
526 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
530 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
531 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
534 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
538 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
539 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
543 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
547 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
548 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
549 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
550 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
553 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
557 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
560 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
564 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
565 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
566 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
569 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
573 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
574 policy. (Chris Prather)
576 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
577 on this new support policy. (doy)
581 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
582 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
583 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
585 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
586 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
588 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
592 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
593 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
594 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
595 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
598 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
602 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
603 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
606 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
610 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
611 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
613 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
614 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
618 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
619 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
620 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
621 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
622 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
623 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
625 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
626 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
628 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
629 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
630 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
631 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
633 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
634 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
636 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
641 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
642 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
644 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
648 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
649 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
650 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
652 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
656 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
657 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
658 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
660 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
661 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
664 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
665 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
668 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
669 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
670 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
672 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
673 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
678 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
679 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
680 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
681 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
683 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
684 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
686 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
687 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
689 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
690 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
691 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
692 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
694 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
695 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
696 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
699 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
700 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
701 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
702 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
704 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
705 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
708 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
709 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
710 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
712 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
716 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
717 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
718 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
720 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
721 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
722 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
725 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
726 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
727 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
729 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
730 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
731 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
733 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
734 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
738 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
739 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
740 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
742 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
743 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
744 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
745 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
747 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
751 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
752 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
753 value is a reference.
755 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
756 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
758 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
762 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
763 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
764 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
766 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
770 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
771 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
775 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
776 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
777 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
779 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
780 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
781 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
783 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
787 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
789 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
793 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
795 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
796 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
801 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
802 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
804 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
805 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
806 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
807 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
808 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
810 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
811 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
812 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
813 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
815 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
819 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
820 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
825 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
827 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
829 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
834 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
836 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
840 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
841 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
842 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
844 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
845 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
846 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
847 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
849 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
850 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
851 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
852 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
853 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
856 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
861 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
862 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
863 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
864 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
865 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
868 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
872 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
875 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
876 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
880 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
881 function (not just method). (doy)
885 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
886 and aren't easily installable/testable.
888 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
892 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
893 to be overridden more easily (doy).
895 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
899 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
900 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
902 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
906 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
907 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
908 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
910 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
914 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
915 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
916 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
918 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
919 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
923 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
924 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
926 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
927 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
931 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
932 is applied to a class (t0m).
934 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
935 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
937 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
940 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
941 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
943 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
944 be much more robust. (doy)
946 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
948 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
951 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
955 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
956 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
958 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
962 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
963 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
965 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
968 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
969 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
970 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
972 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
973 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
974 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
977 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
979 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
983 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
984 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
988 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
990 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
994 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
995 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
999 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
1000 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
1004 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
1006 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
1010 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
1011 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
1015 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
1016 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
1020 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
1021 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
1023 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
1027 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
1028 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
1029 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
1032 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
1036 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
1037 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
1038 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
1039 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
1041 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
1045 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
1046 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
1047 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
1051 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
1052 (Michael G. Schwern)
1054 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
1058 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
1059 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
1060 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
1064 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
1065 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
1067 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
1068 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
1069 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
1070 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
1072 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
1076 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
1080 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
1081 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
1083 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
1084 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
1085 - Moose::Util::does_role
1086 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
1087 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
1088 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
1090 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
1094 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
1095 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
1096 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
1099 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1103 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
1104 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
1107 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1111 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
1112 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
1115 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
1119 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
1121 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
1122 class. (Dave Rolsky).
1124 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
1125 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
1126 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
1128 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
1129 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
1130 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
1133 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
1134 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1136 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
1137 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
1138 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
1140 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
1142 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
1143 substr et al, again. (sorear)
1145 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
1147 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
1150 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
1151 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
1153 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
1154 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
1156 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
1157 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
1158 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
1159 dependencies installed.
1161 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
1162 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
1165 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
1167 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
1171 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1173 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1174 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
1175 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
1177 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1178 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
1179 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
1181 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
1182 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
1185 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
1186 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
1187 others. (nothingmuch)
1189 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1190 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
1191 remove_accessors. (doy)
1193 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1194 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
1195 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
1197 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
1198 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
1200 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
1201 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1202 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
1203 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
1205 * Moose::Meta::Class
1206 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
1207 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
1209 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1210 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
1212 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
1214 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
1215 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
1218 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1219 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
1220 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
1221 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
1222 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
1224 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
1225 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
1226 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
1227 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
1228 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
1229 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
1230 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
1233 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
1234 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
1235 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
1236 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
1237 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
1239 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
1240 which were not receiving the value of
1241 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
1242 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
1243 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
1244 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
1248 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
1249 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
1250 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
1251 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
1252 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
1255 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1256 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
1257 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
1258 - added tests for this (Stevan)
1260 * Moose::Meta::Class
1261 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
1262 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
1263 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
1266 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
1267 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1268 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
1270 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1271 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
1272 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
1275 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
1276 class if you pass it options for
1277 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
1278 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
1279 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
1280 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
1281 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
1282 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
1283 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
1284 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
1285 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
1287 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1288 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
1289 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
1290 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
1291 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
1294 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
1295 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1296 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
1297 existing delegation API. (hdp)
1299 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1300 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
1301 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
1302 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
1303 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
1304 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
1307 * Moose::Error::Croak
1308 * Moose::Error::Confess
1309 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
1310 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
1313 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
1316 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
1317 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
1318 installing a broken sub. (doy)
1320 * Moose::Meta::Class
1321 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
1324 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
1325 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1326 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
1328 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1329 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1330 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
1331 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
1332 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
1334 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1335 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
1338 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
1340 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1341 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1344 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1345 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1347 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1348 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1349 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1350 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1352 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1353 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1354 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1355 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1356 using it for new code!
1358 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1359 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1360 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1361 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1363 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1364 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1365 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1366 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1367 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1368 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1369 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1370 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1373 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1376 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1377 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1380 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1381 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1383 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1384 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1385 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1387 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1388 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1389 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1390 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1392 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1393 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1394 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1396 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1397 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1398 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1401 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1402 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1403 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1404 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1405 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1406 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1408 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1410 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1413 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1414 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1415 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1417 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1418 associated_methods. (hdp)
1419 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1420 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1421 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1422 misspelled) arguments
1424 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1425 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1426 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1427 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1429 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1430 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1431 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1433 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1436 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1437 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1438 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1441 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1442 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1444 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1445 * Moose::Meta::Class
1446 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1447 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1449 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1450 * Moose::Manual::Types
1451 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1452 string parsing rathole (mst)
1454 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1455 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1456 using plain objects instead
1458 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1459 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1460 that's what we need.
1462 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1463 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1464 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1465 three times today (perigrin)
1466 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1467 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1469 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1470 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1471 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1472 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1475 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1476 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1477 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1478 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1479 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1480 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1483 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1484 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1485 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1486 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1489 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1491 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1494 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1496 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1499 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1500 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1501 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1505 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1506 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1509 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1510 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1512 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1513 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1514 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1516 * Moose::Unsweetened
1517 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1519 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1520 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1523 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1527 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1528 methods during global destruction (doy)
1530 * Moose::Meta::Class
1531 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1532 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1533 consumption (Sartak)
1535 * Moose::Meta::Class
1536 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1537 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1540 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1541 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1544 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1545 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1547 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1549 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1553 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1554 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1555 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1558 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1559 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1560 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1563 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1565 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1566 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1567 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1570 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1571 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1572 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1573 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1575 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1576 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1577 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1580 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1583 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1584 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1585 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1589 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1590 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1592 * Moose::Meta::Class
1593 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1595 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1597 * Moose::Meta::Class
1598 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1599 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1602 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1603 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1606 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1607 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1610 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1613 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1615 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1616 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1619 * Moose::Meta::Class
1620 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1622 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1623 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1626 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1627 * More deprecations and renamings
1628 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1629 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1630 when an object is constructed)
1633 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1634 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1635 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1637 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1638 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1639 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1640 feature, and it works again.
1643 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1645 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1647 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1648 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1649 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1651 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1652 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1653 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1654 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1655 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1657 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1658 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1659 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1660 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1661 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1664 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1665 metaclass object. (hdp)
1667 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1668 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1669 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1670 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1671 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1672 point out this fact. (hdp)
1674 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1675 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1677 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1678 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1680 * Moose::Meta::Class
1681 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1682 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1683 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1684 called during instance construction were passed the
1685 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1686 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1688 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1689 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1692 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1693 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1694 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1697 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1698 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1699 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1700 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1701 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1703 - Moose::Meta::Class
1704 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1706 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1707 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1708 when an object is constructed)
1709 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1711 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1712 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1713 when an object is constructed)
1714 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1715 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1716 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1719 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1721 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1722 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1724 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1726 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1727 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1728 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1730 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1731 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1732 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1734 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1736 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1737 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1739 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1740 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1743 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1744 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1747 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1748 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1749 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1751 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1752 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1756 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1757 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1758 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1760 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1761 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1764 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1765 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1766 with recommended workarounds.
1768 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1769 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1771 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1772 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1773 (yes, spelled like that).
1775 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1776 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1778 * Moose::Meta::Class
1779 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1780 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1782 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1784 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1785 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1786 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1787 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1788 instead. Reported by doy.
1790 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1792 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1793 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1795 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1796 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1797 message) is now deprecated.
1798 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1799 often got it wrong. For example:
1801 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1803 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1807 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1808 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1809 bite you in weird cases.
1811 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1812 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1813 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1814 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1816 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1817 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1821 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1824 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1825 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1828 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1829 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1831 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1832 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1835 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1836 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1837 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1838 - added tests for this (stevan)
1840 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1841 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1842 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1843 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1847 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1848 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1849 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1850 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1852 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1853 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1854 - added tests for this (rafl)
1856 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1857 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1858 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1859 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1863 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1864 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1867 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1868 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1869 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1871 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1873 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1874 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1876 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1877 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1878 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1879 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1880 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1882 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1883 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1884 error message did not specify the attribute name
1887 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1889 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1891 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1892 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1893 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1895 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1896 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1899 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1901 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1902 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1903 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1904 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1906 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1908 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1909 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1910 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1911 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1913 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1914 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1915 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1917 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1918 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1919 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1920 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1921 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1923 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1924 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1925 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1926 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1927 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1929 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1930 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1931 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1932 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1933 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1934 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1936 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1937 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1938 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1939 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1940 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1941 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1943 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1944 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1946 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1947 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1948 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1949 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1951 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1952 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1955 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1959 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1960 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1962 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1963 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1964 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1965 guts. (nothingmuch).
1967 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1968 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1969 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1971 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1972 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1973 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1974 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1976 * Moose::Meta::Class
1977 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1980 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1981 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1983 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1984 * Moose::Unsweetened
1985 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1988 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1989 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1990 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1991 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1992 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1993 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1995 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1996 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1997 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1998 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1999 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
2000 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
2001 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
2002 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
2003 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
2004 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
2006 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
2008 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
2009 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
2011 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2012 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
2013 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
2014 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
2016 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
2017 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
2018 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2019 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
2020 same methods for a single role did not work
2021 right (worked just fine with multiple
2023 - added test for this (stevan)
2025 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
2026 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
2027 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
2030 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
2031 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
2032 - added test for this (t0m)
2035 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
2036 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
2037 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
2039 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2040 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
2041 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
2042 - added test for this (t0m)
2044 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2045 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
2046 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
2047 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
2048 - added test for this (perigrin)
2051 - create method for constructing a role
2052 dynamically (Sartak)
2053 - added test for this (Sartak)
2054 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
2055 - added test for this (Sartak)
2058 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
2060 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
2061 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
2062 methods is useful (Sartak)
2064 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
2065 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2066 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
2069 * Moose::Meta::Class
2070 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
2071 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
2072 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
2073 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
2074 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
2075 - added tests for this (jdv79)
2078 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
2079 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
2081 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
2082 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
2083 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
2084 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
2085 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
2087 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
2089 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
2090 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2091 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
2094 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
2095 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
2096 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
2097 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
2098 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
2099 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
2102 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2103 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
2104 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
2105 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
2106 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
2107 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
2108 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
2109 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
2110 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
2111 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
2112 future. (jnapiorkowski)
2114 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2115 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
2118 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2119 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
2120 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
2121 type. (jnapiorkowski)
2122 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2124 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
2126 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
2127 predicate, and link to more details sections in
2128 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
2130 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2131 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
2133 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2134 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
2135 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
2136 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2139 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
2140 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
2142 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
2144 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
2145 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
2147 * Moose::Meta::Class
2148 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
2149 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
2150 a required attribute
2152 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
2153 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
2154 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
2155 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
2157 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2158 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
2160 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2161 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
2162 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
2163 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
2164 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
2165 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
2166 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
2167 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
2169 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
2170 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
2171 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
2173 * Roles and role application
2174 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
2175 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
2176 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
2177 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
2178 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
2180 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
2181 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
2184 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
2185 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
2186 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
2187 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
2188 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
2191 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
2192 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
2193 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
2194 changes in the Moose internals.
2196 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
2197 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2198 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
2201 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2202 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
2203 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
2204 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
2206 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2207 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
2208 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
2209 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
2211 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2212 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
2213 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
2214 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
2215 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
2216 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
2217 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
2218 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
2219 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
2220 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
2221 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
2222 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
2223 constraint implementations.
2225 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
2229 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
2230 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
2231 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
2232 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
2233 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
2234 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
2235 - added tests for this (rafl)
2237 * Moose::Meta::Class
2238 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
2239 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
2240 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
2241 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
2242 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
2243 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
2244 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
2245 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
2248 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
2249 - added tests for this (thepler)
2251 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2252 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
2253 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
2254 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
2257 * Moose::Meta::Class
2258 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2259 * Moose::Meta::Method
2262 * Moose::Error::Default
2263 * Moose::Error::Croak
2264 * Moose::Error::Confess
2265 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
2266 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
2267 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
2268 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
2269 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
2270 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
2272 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
2274 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
2275 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
2277 * Moose::Unsweetened
2278 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
2279 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
2280 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
2282 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2283 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
2284 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
2285 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
2286 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2289 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
2290 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
2292 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
2293 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
2294 several major changes in this release of Moose.
2295 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
2298 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
2300 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
2301 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
2303 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
2306 - Various bug fixes.
2308 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
2309 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
2311 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
2313 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
2314 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2315 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2316 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
2317 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
2318 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
2320 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2321 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
2322 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
2324 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
2325 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
2326 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
2329 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
2330 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
2331 dependency to 0.64_07.
2333 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
2334 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
2335 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
2337 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2338 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
2341 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2342 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
2343 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
2344 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
2345 coincidental exception. (t0m).
2346 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2348 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2349 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
2351 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2353 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
2354 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
2358 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
2359 method when that method was provided by another role being
2360 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
2361 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
2363 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
2365 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
2366 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
2368 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2369 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
2370 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
2371 - added test for this (t0m)
2373 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2374 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
2375 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
2377 - added test for this (t0m)
2380 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
2381 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
2382 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
2385 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
2386 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
2388 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
2390 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
2391 easier (Dave Rolsky)
2393 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2394 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
2395 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
2397 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2398 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
2401 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2402 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2403 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
2404 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
2408 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
2409 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
2410 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
2413 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
2414 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
2415 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
2416 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
2419 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
2423 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
2424 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
2425 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
2427 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
2428 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2429 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
2430 created so that the process can be more easily
2431 overridden by subclasses (stevan)

2434 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
2435 the type constraints (RT #37569)
2436 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
2438 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2439 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)

2443 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
2445 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
2446 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
2447 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
2449 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
2450 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
2451 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
2453 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
2454 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
2456 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2457 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
2460 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2461 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
2465 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
2466 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
2468 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2469 ... this is not my day today ...
2471 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2472 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2473 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2474 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2475 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2478 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2479 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2480 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2481 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2482 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2485 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2487 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2488 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
2489 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
2490 this is not ever something you want to do
2491 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
2492 - added tests for this (stevan)
2495 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
2497 - added test for this
2499 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2500 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
2501 - added tests for this (wreis)
2503 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
2504 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
2505 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
2506 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
2508 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
2509 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
2510 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
2513 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
2515 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
2517 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
2520 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2521 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2522 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2523 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2524 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2525 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2526 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2527 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2528 - added tests for this
2530 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2531 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
2532 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
2533 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
2535 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
2537 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2538 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
2539 - added tests for this (sartak)
2540 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
2541 install_delegation method (Stevan)

2550 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2551 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2552 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
2554 - Some null_constraint optimizations
2556 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
2557 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules

2565 - fixed how the is => (ro|rw) works with
2566 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
2568 - added docs for this (TODO).
2569 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
2570 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
2571 Moose attributes which is "Moose"

2589 - fixed how DEMOLISHALL is called so that it
2590 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
2591 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
2593 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2594 - move the ClassName type check code to
2595 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
2597 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
2598 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
2600 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2601 (early morning release engineering)--
2603 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2604 which was causing the indexer to choke
2606 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2607 (late night release engineering)--
2609 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
2610 changes in this release
2612 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
2613 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
2614 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
2616 * Moose::Meta::Class
2617 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
2618 since it is called so often by &meta
2620 * Moose::Meta::Class
2622 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
2623 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
2626 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2627 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
2628 method for immutablization to check if the
2629 destructor object even needs to be created
2632 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2633 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2634 - added more descriptive error message to help
2635 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
2636 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
2638 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
2640 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
2641 XS based functionality is now optional
2642 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2643 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2644 can now be used to force non-XS versions
2646 - several of the packages have been tweaked
2647 to take care of this, mostly we added
2648 support for the package_name and name
2649 variables in all the Method metaclasses
2650 - before/around/after method modifiers now
2651 support regexp matching of names
2652 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2653 - tests added for this
2654 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
2655 is currently not supported in roles,
2656 but, ... patches welcome
2657 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2658 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2659 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2662 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2663 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2664 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2665 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
2666 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
2667 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
2668 - added test for this
2670 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2671 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
2672 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
2675 * Moose::Meta::Class
2676 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
2680 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
2682 - added tests for this
2683 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
2684 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2686 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2687 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
2688 themselves parameterizable types
2690 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2691 - fixed bug where trigger was not being
2692 called by the inlined immutable
2694 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
2696 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
2697 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
2698 (if possible) to create the anon-class
2699 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
2701 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
2702 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
2706 - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was
2707 causing occasional cpantester failures

2709 more descriptive (thanks to Sartak)
2711 0.44 Sat. May 10, 2008
2713 - made make_immutable warning cluck to
2714 show where the error is (thanks mst)
2717 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
2718 ->body when looping through the
2719 methods, to avoid the overloaded
2721 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
2722 eating the $@ values, and so not
2723 working correctly, it still kind of
2724 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
2725 - added tests for this
2727 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
2728 - added new recipe for immutable
2729 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2731 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe9
2732 - added new recipe for builder and
2733 lazy_build (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2735 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
2736 - added new recipe for method aliasing
2737 and exclusion with Roles (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2740 - fixed Win32 test failure (thanks spicyjack)
2742 ~ removed Build.PL and Module::Build compat
2743 since Module::Install has done that.
2745 0.43 Wed. April, 30, 2008
2747 drink more coffee before
2748 doing release engineering
2750 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
2751 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr
2752 modules. This fixes that.
2754 0.42 Mon. April 28, 2008
2755 - some bad tests slipped by, nothing else
2756 changed in this release (cpantesters++)
2758 - upped the Class::MOP dependency to 0.55
2759 since we have tests which need the C3
2762 0.41 Mon. April 28, 2008
2763 ~~ numerous documentation updates ~~
2765 - Changed all usage of die to Carp::croak for better
2766 error reporting (initial patch by Tod Hagan)
2768 ** IMPORTANT NOTE **
2769 - the make_immutable keyword is now deprecated, don't
2770 use it in any new code and please fix your old code
2771 as well. There will be 2 releases, and then it will
2777 - refactored the way inner and super work to avoid
2778 any method/@ISA cache penalty (nothingmuch)
2780 * Moose::Meta::Class
2781 - fixing &new_object to make sure trigger gets the
2782 coerced value (spotted by Charles Alderman on the
2784 - added test for this
2786 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2787 - immutable classes which had non-lazy attributes were calling

2865 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2867 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
2868 that come from recently composed roles. It makes

2911 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
2912 it ever did this originally, this means we now

3158 - added tests for this
3161 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
3162 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

3204 - fixed how required methods are handled
3205 when they encounter overriden or modified
3206 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
3207 - added tests for this
3209 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
3210 - fixed the type notation parser so that
3211 the | always creates a union and so is
3212 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
3213 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working

3217 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
3220 * Parameterized Types
3221 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
3222 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
3223 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
3224 They can also be nested:
3225 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
3226 And work with the type unions as well:
3227 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
3229 * Better Framework Extendability
3230 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
3231 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
3232 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
3233 section of the Moose.pm docs.
3236 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
3237 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
3238 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
3239 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

3455 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
3456 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
3458 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3459 - 'type' now supports messages as well
3460 thanks to phaylon for finding this
3461 - added tests for this
3462 - added &list_all_type_constraints and
3463 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
3464 functions to facilitate introspection.
3466 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3467 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
3468 to build the list of delegated methods
3469 correctly (and not override important
3470 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
3472 - added tests and docs for this
3473 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3474 so that you can actually document your
3475 attributes and inspect them through the
3477 - added tests and docs for this
3479 * Moose::Meta::Class
3480 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3481 it will first look in for the class in the
3482 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3483 then default to just loading $name.
3484 - added tests and docs for this
3486 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3487 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3488 - added test for this
3491 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
3492 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
3493 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3494 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3496 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3497 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3500 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3502 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3503 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3504 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3507 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3508 !! for this developer release to work !!
3510 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3511 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3512 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3513 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3514 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3515 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3516 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3517 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3518 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3519 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3520 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3522 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3523 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3524 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3525 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3528 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3529 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3530 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3531 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3532 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3534 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3536 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3537 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3540 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3541 called unless they actually need to be.
3542 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3543 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3544 DEMOLISH method present.
3546 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3547 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3548 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3549 type constraint, which allows for a
3550 hand optimized version of the type
3551 constraint to be used when possible.
3552 - Any internally created type constraints
3553 now provide an optimized version as well.
3555 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3557 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3558 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3559 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3561 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3562 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3563 your class namespace of these exported
3566 * Moose::Meta::Class
3567 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3568 comes up during global destruction
3570 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3574 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3577 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3578 - changed how we do type checks so that
3579 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3582 - moved accessor generation methods to
3583 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3584 conform to the API changes from
3587 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3588 - changed how constraints are compiled
3589 so that we do less recursion and more
3590 iteration. This makes the type check
3592 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3595 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3596 - created this from methods formerly found in
3597 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3599 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3600 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3602 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3603 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3605 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3606 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3608 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3610 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3611 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3612 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3613 - added tests for this
3614 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3615 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3616 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3617 - removed tests for this
3619 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3621 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3622 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3623 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3626 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3627 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3628 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3630 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3631 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3632 comments for more info.
3635 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3636 asked questions and common problems
3638 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3639 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3640 - added tests for this
3642 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3643 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3644 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3645 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3647 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3648 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3651 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3652 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3653 is much appreciated :)
3654 - added tests for this
3656 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3657 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3658 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3661 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3662 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3664 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3666 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3667 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3671 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3672 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3673 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3675 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3677 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3680 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3681 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3682 keywords because we need to localize them.
3683 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3685 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3686 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3687 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3690 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3693 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3694 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3695 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3698 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3699 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3700 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3702 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3704 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3705 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3706 bottom of your class file.
3709 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3712 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3714 - improved error message when loading modules so
3715 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3716 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3717 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3720 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3721 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3722 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3724 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3725 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3727 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3728 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3729 turn them on for you.
3730 - added tests for this
3731 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3732 in Moose::Meta::Class

3759 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3760 - This release works in combination with
3761 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3762 release because it uses the a new
3763 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3764 complete Role implementation. It has
3765 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3766 the the previous CPAN version. This
3767 release also lacks good updated docs,
3768 the official release will have updated docs.
3771 - refactored the keyword exports
3772 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3773 accepts more than one Role at a time
3774 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3775 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility

3779 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3780 accepts more than one Role at a time
3782 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3783 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3784 string enumerations which can be used as
3786 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3789 - more careful checking of params to new()
3792 - much work done on the role composition
3793 - many new tests for conflict detection
3794 and composition edge cases
3795 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3796 looking at the tests
3798 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3799 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3800 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3802 * Moose::Meta::Class
3803 - some small changes to support the new
3805 - some small additions to support Roles
3807 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3808 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3810 - some small changes to support the new
3812 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3813 with the 'handles' option
3814 - added several tests for this
3815 - no docs for this yet
3817 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
3819 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3820 thanks to chansen for this commit
3821 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3822 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3823 on a per-attribute basis
3824 - added tests for this
3825 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3826 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3827 experimental feature and probably not finished

3829 more details, or ask about it on #moose
3830 - added tests for this

3892 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
3894 - added test for this
