1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * Several things that have been deprecated for a while have been removed. See
9 the 2.0000 section in Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
11 2.0102 Sat, Jun 18, 2011
15 * The native Array trait now has a 'first_index' method, which works just
16 like the version in List::MoreUtils. (Karen Etheridge)
18 * Clean up some internal code to help out extensions.
22 * Include changes from Moose 2.0008.
24 2.0101 Mon, Jun 06, 2011
28 * Various packaging issues.
30 2.0100 Mon, Jun 06, 2011
34 * Using a hand-optimized type constraint is now deprecated. In keeping with
35 our release policy, this won't actually start warning until the 2.0200
40 * Type constraints can now provide inlined versions, which should make
41 inlined code which uses type constraints (such as accessors) faster. This
42 replaces the existing hand-optimized constraint feature. (Dave Rolsky)
46 * Remove a lot of cases where generated methods closed over meta objects.
47 Most simple cases should now only close over simple data types and
48 coderefs. This should make deparsing simpler.
50 2.0008 Thu, Jun 16, 2011
54 * The 'accessor' native delegation for hashrefs now allows setting the value
55 to undef. (sugoik, doy)
59 * Various generated methods have more useful context information. (doy)
61 2.0007 Sun, May 15, 2011
65 * Make sure weak attributes remain weak when cloning. (doy, rafl)
67 2.0006 Mon, May 09, 2011
71 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
72 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
74 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
78 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
80 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
84 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
86 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
87 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
89 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
93 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
94 skips every other role. (rjbs)
96 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
97 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
98 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
99 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
100 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
102 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
106 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
107 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
108 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
111 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
116 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
118 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
119 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
121 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
125 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
126 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
127 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
131 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
132 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
134 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
135 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
137 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
138 environments. (doy, mateu)
140 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
144 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
145 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
146 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
147 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
151 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
152 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
154 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
158 * Update conflicts list.
161 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
165 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
166 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
167 details. (Dave Rolsky)
169 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
170 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
171 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
172 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
173 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
177 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
178 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
179 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
180 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
181 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
184 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
188 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
189 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
191 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
194 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
198 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
199 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
200 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
201 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
203 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
204 immutable classes). (mo)
206 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
207 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
208 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
210 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
214 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
216 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
218 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
222 * Fix some indexing issues.
224 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
226 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
230 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
231 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
232 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
233 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
234 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
236 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
237 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
242 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
243 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
244 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
245 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
247 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
248 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
249 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
253 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
254 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
257 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
261 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
262 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
266 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
270 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
271 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
272 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
273 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
276 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
280 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
283 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
287 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
288 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
289 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
292 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
296 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
297 policy. (Chris Prather)
299 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
300 on this new support policy. (doy)
304 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
305 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
306 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
308 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
309 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
311 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
315 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
316 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
317 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
318 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
321 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
325 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
326 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
329 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
333 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
334 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
336 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
337 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
341 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
342 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
343 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
344 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
345 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
346 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
348 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
349 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
351 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
352 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
353 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
354 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
356 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
357 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
359 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
364 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
365 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
367 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
371 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
372 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
373 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
375 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
379 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
380 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
381 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
383 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
384 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
387 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
388 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
391 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
392 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
393 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
395 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
396 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
401 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
402 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
403 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
404 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
406 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
407 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
409 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
410 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
412 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
413 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
414 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
415 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
417 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
418 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
419 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
422 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
423 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
424 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
425 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
427 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
428 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
431 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
432 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
433 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
435 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
439 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
440 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
441 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
443 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
444 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
445 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
448 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
449 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
450 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
452 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
453 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
454 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
456 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
457 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
461 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
462 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
463 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
465 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
466 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
467 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
468 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
470 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
474 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
475 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
476 value is a reference.
478 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
479 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
481 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
485 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
486 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
487 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
489 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
493 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
494 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
498 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
499 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
500 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
502 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
503 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
504 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
506 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
510 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
512 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
516 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
518 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
519 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
524 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
525 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
527 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
528 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
529 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
530 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
531 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
533 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
534 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
535 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
536 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
538 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
542 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
543 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
548 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
550 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
552 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
557 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
559 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
563 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
564 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
565 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
567 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
568 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
569 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
570 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
572 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
573 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
574 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
575 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
576 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
579 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
584 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
585 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
586 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
587 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
588 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
591 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
595 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
598 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
599 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
603 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
604 function (not just method). (doy)
608 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
609 and aren't easily installable/testable.
611 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
615 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
616 to be overridden more easily (doy).
618 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
622 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
623 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
625 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
629 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
630 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
631 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
633 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
637 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
638 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
639 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
641 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
642 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
646 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
647 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
649 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
650 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
654 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
655 is applied to a class (t0m).
657 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
658 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
660 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
663 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
664 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
666 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
667 be much more robust. (doy)
669 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
671 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
674 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
678 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
679 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
681 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
685 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
686 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
688 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
691 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
692 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
693 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
695 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
696 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
697 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
700 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
702 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
706 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
707 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
711 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
713 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
717 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
718 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
722 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
723 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
727 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
729 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
733 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
734 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
738 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
739 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
743 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
744 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
746 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
750 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
751 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
752 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
755 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
759 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
760 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
761 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
762 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
764 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
768 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
769 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
770 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
774 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
777 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
781 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
782 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
783 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
787 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
788 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
790 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
791 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
792 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
793 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
795 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
799 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
803 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
804 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
806 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
807 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
808 - Moose::Util::does_role
809 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
810 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
811 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
813 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
817 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
818 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
819 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
822 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
826 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
827 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
830 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
834 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
835 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
838 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
842 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
844 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
845 class. (Dave Rolsky).
847 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
848 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
849 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
851 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
852 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
853 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
856 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
857 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
859 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
860 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
861 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
863 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
865 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
866 substr et al, again. (sorear)
868 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
870 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
873 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
874 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
876 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
877 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
879 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
880 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
881 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
882 dependencies installed.
884 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
885 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
888 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
890 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
894 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
896 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
897 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
898 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
900 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
901 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
902 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
904 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
905 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
908 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
909 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
910 others. (nothingmuch)
912 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
913 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
914 remove_accessors. (doy)
916 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
917 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
918 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
920 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
921 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
923 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
924 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
925 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
926 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
929 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
930 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
932 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
933 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
935 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
937 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
938 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
941 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
942 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
943 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
944 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
945 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
947 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
948 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
949 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
950 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
951 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
952 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
953 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
956 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
957 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
958 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
959 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
960 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
962 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
963 which were not receiving the value of
964 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
965 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
966 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
967 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
971 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
972 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
973 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
974 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
975 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
978 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
979 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
980 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
981 - added tests for this (Stevan)
984 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
985 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
986 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
989 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
990 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
991 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
993 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
994 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
995 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
998 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
999 class if you pass it options for
1000 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
1001 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
1002 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
1003 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
1004 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
1005 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
1006 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
1007 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
1008 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
1010 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1011 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
1012 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
1013 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
1014 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
1017 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
1018 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1019 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
1020 existing delegation API. (hdp)
1022 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1023 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
1024 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
1025 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
1026 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
1027 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
1030 * Moose::Error::Croak
1031 * Moose::Error::Confess
1032 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
1033 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
1036 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
1039 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
1040 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
1041 installing a broken sub. (doy)
1043 * Moose::Meta::Class
1044 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
1047 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
1048 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1049 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
1051 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1052 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1053 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
1054 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
1055 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
1057 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1058 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
1061 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
1063 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1064 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1067 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1068 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1070 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1071 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1072 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1073 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1075 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1076 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1077 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1078 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1079 using it for new code!
1081 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1082 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1083 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1084 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1086 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1087 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1088 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1089 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1090 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1091 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1092 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1093 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1096 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1099 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1100 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1103 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1104 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1106 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1107 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1108 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1110 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1111 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1112 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1113 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1115 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1116 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1117 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1119 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1120 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1121 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1124 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1125 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1126 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1127 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1128 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1129 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1131 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1133 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1136 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1137 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1138 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1140 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1141 associated_methods. (hdp)
1142 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1143 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1144 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1145 misspelled) arguments
1147 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1148 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1149 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1150 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1152 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1153 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1154 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1156 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1159 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1160 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1161 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1164 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1165 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1167 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1168 * Moose::Meta::Class
1169 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1170 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1172 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1173 * Moose::Manual::Types
1174 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1175 string parsing rathole (mst)
1177 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1178 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1179 using plain objects instead
1181 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1182 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1183 that's what we need.
1185 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1186 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1187 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1188 three times today (perigrin)
1189 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1190 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1192 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1193 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1194 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1195 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1198 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1199 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1200 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1201 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1202 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1203 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1206 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1207 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1208 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1209 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1212 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1214 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1217 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1219 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1222 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1223 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1224 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1228 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1229 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1232 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1233 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1235 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1236 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1237 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1239 * Moose::Unsweetened
1240 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1242 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1243 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1246 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1250 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1251 methods during global destruction (doy)
1253 * Moose::Meta::Class
1254 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1255 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1256 consumption (Sartak)
1258 * Moose::Meta::Class
1259 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1260 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1263 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1264 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1267 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1268 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1270 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1272 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1276 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1277 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1278 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1281 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1282 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1283 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1286 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1288 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1289 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1290 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1293 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1294 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1295 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1296 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1298 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1299 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1300 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1303 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1306 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1307 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1308 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1312 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1313 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1315 * Moose::Meta::Class
1316 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1318 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1320 * Moose::Meta::Class
1321 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1322 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1325 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1326 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1329 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1330 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1333 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1336 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1338 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1339 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1342 * Moose::Meta::Class
1343 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1345 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1346 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1349 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1350 * More deprecations and renamings
1351 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1352 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1353 when an object is constructed)
1356 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1357 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1358 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1360 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1361 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1362 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1363 feature, and it works again.
1366 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1368 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1370 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1371 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1372 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1374 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1375 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1376 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1377 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1378 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1380 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1381 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1382 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1383 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1384 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1387 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1388 metaclass object. (hdp)
1390 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1391 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1392 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1393 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1394 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1395 point out this fact. (hdp)
1397 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1398 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1400 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1401 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1403 * Moose::Meta::Class
1404 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1405 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1406 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1407 called during instance construction were passed the
1408 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1409 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1411 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1412 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1415 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1416 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1417 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1420 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1421 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1422 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1423 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1424 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1426 - Moose::Meta::Class
1427 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1429 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1430 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1431 when an object is constructed)
1432 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1434 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1435 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1436 when an object is constructed)
1437 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1438 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1439 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1442 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1444 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1445 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1447 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1449 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1450 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1451 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1453 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1454 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1455 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1457 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1459 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1460 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1462 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1463 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1466 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1467 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1470 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1471 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1472 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1474 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1475 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1479 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1480 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1481 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1483 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1484 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1487 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1488 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1489 with recommended workarounds.
1491 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1492 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1494 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1495 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1496 (yes, spelled like that).
1498 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1499 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1501 * Moose::Meta::Class
1502 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1503 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1505 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1507 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1508 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1509 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1510 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1511 instead. Reported by doy.
1513 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1515 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1516 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1518 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1519 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1520 message) is now deprecated.
1521 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1522 often got it wrong. For example:
1524 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1526 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1530 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1531 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1532 bite you in weird cases.
1534 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1535 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1536 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1537 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1539 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1540 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1544 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1547 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1548 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1551 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1552 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1554 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1555 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1558 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1559 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1560 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1561 - added tests for this (stevan)
1563 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1564 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1565 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1566 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1570 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1571 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1572 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1573 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1575 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1576 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1577 - added tests for this (rafl)
1579 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1580 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1581 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1582 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1586 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1587 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1590 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1591 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1592 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1594 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1596 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1597 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1599 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1600 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1601 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1602 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1603 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1605 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1606 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1607 error message did not specify the attribute name
1610 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1612 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1614 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1615 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1616 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1618 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1619 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1622 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1624 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1625 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1626 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1627 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1629 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1631 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1632 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1633 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1634 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1636 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1637 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1638 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1640 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1641 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1642 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1643 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1644 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1646 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1647 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1648 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1649 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1650 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1652 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1653 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1654 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1655 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1656 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1657 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1659 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1660 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1661 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1662 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1663 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1664 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1666 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1667 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1669 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1670 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1671 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1672 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1674 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1675 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1678 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1682 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1683 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1685 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1686 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1687 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1688 guts. (nothingmuch).
1690 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1691 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1692 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1694 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1695 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1696 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1697 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1699 * Moose::Meta::Class
1700 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1703 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1704 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1706 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1707 * Moose::Unsweetened
1708 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1711 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1712 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1713 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1714 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1715 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1716 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1718 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1719 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1720 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1721 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1722 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1723 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1724 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1725 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1726 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1727 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1729 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1731 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1732 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1734 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1735 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1736 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1737 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1739 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1740 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1741 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1742 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1743 same methods for a single role did not work
1744 right (worked just fine with multiple
1746 - added test for this (stevan)
1748 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1749 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1750 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1753 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1754 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1755 - added test for this (t0m)
1758 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1759 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1760 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1762 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1763 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1764 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1765 - added test for this (t0m)
1767 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1768 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1769 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1770 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1771 - added test for this (perigrin)
1774 - create method for constructing a role
1775 dynamically (Sartak)
1776 - added test for this (Sartak)
1777 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1778 - added test for this (Sartak)
1781 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1783 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1784 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1785 methods is useful (Sartak)
1787 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1788 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1789 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1792 * Moose::Meta::Class
1793 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1794 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1795 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1796 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1797 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1798 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1801 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1802 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1804 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1805 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1806 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1807 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1808 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1810 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1812 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1813 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1814 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1817 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1818 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1819 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1820 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1821 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1822 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1825 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1826 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1827 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1828 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1829 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1830 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1831 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1832 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1833 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1834 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1835 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1837 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1838 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1841 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1842 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1843 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1844 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1845 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1847 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1849 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1850 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1851 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1853 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1854 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1856 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1857 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1858 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1859 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1862 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1863 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1865 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1867 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1868 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1870 * Moose::Meta::Class
1871 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1872 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1873 a required attribute
1875 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1876 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1877 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1878 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1880 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1881 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1883 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1884 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1885 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1886 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1887 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1888 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1889 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1890 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1892 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1893 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1894 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1896 * Roles and role application
1897 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1898 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1899 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1900 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1901 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1903 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1904 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1907 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1908 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1909 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1910 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1911 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1914 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1915 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1916 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1917 changes in the Moose internals.
1919 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1920 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1921 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1924 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1925 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1926 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1927 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1929 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1930 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1931 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1932 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1934 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1935 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1936 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1937 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1938 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1939 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1940 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1941 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1942 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1943 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1944 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1945 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1946 constraint implementations.
1948 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1952 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1953 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1954 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1955 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1956 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1957 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1958 - added tests for this (rafl)
1960 * Moose::Meta::Class
1961 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1962 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1963 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1964 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1965 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1966 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1967 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1968 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1971 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1972 - added tests for this (thepler)
1974 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1975 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1976 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1977 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1980 * Moose::Meta::Class
1981 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1982 * Moose::Meta::Method
1985 * Moose::Error::Default
1986 * Moose::Error::Croak
1987 * Moose::Error::Confess
1988 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1989 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1990 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1991 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1992 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1993 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1995 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1997 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1998 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
2000 * Moose::Unsweetened
2001 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
2002 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
2003 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
2005 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2006 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
2007 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
2008 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
2009 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2012 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
2013 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
2015 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
2016 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
2017 several major changes in this release of Moose.
2018 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
2021 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
2023 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
2024 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
2026 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
2029 - Various bug fixes.
2031 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
2032 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
2034 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
2036 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
2037 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2038 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2039 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
2040 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
2041 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
2043 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2044 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
2045 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
2047 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
2048 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
2049 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
2052 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
2053 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
2054 dependency to 0.64_07.
2056 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
2057 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
2058 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
2060 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2061 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
2064 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2065 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
2066 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
2067 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
2068 coincidental exception. (t0m).

2192 ... this is not my day today ...
2194 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2195 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2196 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2197 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2198 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2201 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2202 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2203 actually releasing the module. No actual changes

2208 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2210 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2211 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)

2243 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2244 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2245 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2246 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2247 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2248 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2249 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2250 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2251 - added tests for this
2253 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2254 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to

2762 - added this module (see above)
2764 * Moose::Meta::Class
2765 - fixed the &_process_attribute method to be called
2766 by &add_attribute, so that the API is now correct

2770 an accessor would get (incorrectly) ignored.
2771 Thanks to Sartak for finding this ;)

2774 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2775 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2776 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2777 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint

2783 (thanks to nothingmuch)
2785 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2786 - added this module to support the refactor
2787 in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized
2789 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized
2790 - refactored how these types are handled so they
2791 are more generic and not confined to ArrayRef
2795 - shortened some file names for better VMS support (RT #32381)
2797 0.33 Fri. Dec. 14, 2007
2798 !! Moose now loads 2 x faster !!
2799 !! with new Class::MOP 0.49 !!
2801 ++ new oose.pm module to make command line

2821 - added tests for this
2823 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2824 - allow subclasses to decide whether we need

2835 - added tests for this
2837 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2838 - there is now a default constraint of sub { 1 }
2839 instead of Moose::Util::TypeConstraints setting
2842 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2843 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2844 - added the &has_coercion_for_type and
2845 &add_type_coercions methods to support the

2849 0.31 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
2850 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2851 - made the +attr syntax handle extending types with

2859 - added docs for this
2861 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2862 - passing no "additional attribute info" to
2863 &find_or_create_type_constraint will no longer
2864 attempt to create an __ANON__ type for you,
2865 instead it will just return undef.
2866 - added docs for this

2881 - added tests for this
2884 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2885 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code
2888 - New tests for builder bug. Upon instantiation, if an

2924 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
2927 - fixed how required methods are handled
2928 when they encounter overriden or modified
2929 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2930 - added tests for this
2932 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2933 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2934 the | always creates a union and so is
2935 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2936 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2938 - added more tests for this
2940 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2943 * Parameterized Types
2944 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2945 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2946 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2947 They can also be nested:
2948 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2949 And work with the type unions as well:
2950 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2952 * Better Framework Extendability
2953 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2954 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2955 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2956 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2959 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2960 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2961 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2962 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2965 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2967 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
2968 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)
2971 - added all the meta classes to the immutable list and

3002 - these are bits of documentation, not quite as big as
3003 Recipes but which have no clear place in the module docs.
3004 So they are Snacks! (horray for castaway++)
3006 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe4
3007 - updated it to use the new ArrayRef[MyType] construct
3008 - updated the accompanying test as well
3010 +++ Major Refactor of the Type Constraint system +++
3011 +++ with new features added as well +++
3013 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
3014 - no longer uses package variable to keep track of
3015 the type constraints, now uses the an instance of
3016 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry to do it
3017 - added more sophisticated type notation parsing
3019 - added tests for this
3021 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3022 - some minor adjustments to make subclassing easier
3023 - added the package_defined_in attribute so that we

3027 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
3028 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3030 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
3031 - this has been added to service the newly refactored
3032 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union and is itself
3033 a subclass of Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion

3047 (thanks to shlomif).
3049 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3050 - required attributes now will no longer accept undef
3051 from the constructor, even if there is a default and lazy

3055 - added tests for this
3057 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3058 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
3059 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor

3095 - added support for roles to be given as parameters
3096 to the 'handles' option.
3097 - added tests and docs for this

3100 (but not changing the handles option)
3101 - added tests and docs for this
3104 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
3105 so that required methods can come from superclasses
3106 - adjusted tests for this
3108 0.23 Mon. June 18, 2007
3109 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
3110 - fix inlined constructor for hierarchy with multiple BUILD methods (mst)

3116 the other side (perigrin)
3118 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
3119 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3120 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3121 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
3122 prototypes for functions
3123 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
3124 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

3134 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
3137 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
3138 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
3139 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
3140 - added tests for this
3142 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
3144 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport
3145 - modified unimport to remove super and inner along with the rest

3160 * Moose::Meta::Class
3161 - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
3162 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
3163 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
3165 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
3166 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
3168 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
3169 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
3170 so this release is just to fix that.
3173 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
3174 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
3175 (thanks to konobi for this)
3176 - added tests and docs
3178 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
3179 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
3181 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3182 - 'type' now supports messages as well
3183 thanks to phaylon for finding this
3184 - added tests for this
3185 - added &list_all_type_constraints and
3186 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
3187 functions to facilitate introspection.
3189 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3190 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
3191 to build the list of delegated methods
3192 correctly (and not override important
3193 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
3195 - added tests and docs for this
3196 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3197 so that you can actually document your
3198 attributes and inspect them through the
3200 - added tests and docs for this
3202 * Moose::Meta::Class
3203 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3204 it will first look in for the class in the
3205 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3206 then default to just loading $name.
3207 - added tests and docs for this
3209 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3210 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3211 - added test for this
3214 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
3215 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
3216 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3217 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3219 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3220 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3223 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3225 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3226 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3227 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3230 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3231 !! for this developer release to work !!
3233 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3234 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3235 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3236 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3237 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3238 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3239 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3240 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3241 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3242 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3243 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3245 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3246 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3247 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3248 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3251 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3252 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3253 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3254 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3255 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3257 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3259 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3260 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3263 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3264 called unless they actually need to be.
3265 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3266 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3267 DEMOLISH method present.
3269 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3270 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3271 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3272 type constraint, which allows for a
3273 hand optimized version of the type
3274 constraint to be used when possible.
3275 - Any internally created type constraints
3276 now provide an optimized version as well.
3278 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3280 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3281 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3282 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3284 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3285 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3286 your class namespace of these exported
3289 * Moose::Meta::Class
3290 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3291 comes up during global destruction
3293 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3297 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3300 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3301 - changed how we do type checks so that
3302 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3305 - moved accessor generation methods to
3306 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3307 conform to the API changes from
3310 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3311 - changed how constraints are compiled
3312 so that we do less recursion and more
3313 iteration. This makes the type check
3315 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3318 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3319 - created this from methods formerly found in
3320 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3322 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3323 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3325 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3326 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3328 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3329 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3331 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3333 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3334 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3335 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3336 - added tests for this
3337 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3338 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3339 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3340 - removed tests for this
3342 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3344 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3345 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3346 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3349 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3350 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3351 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3353 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3354 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3355 comments for more info.
3358 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3359 asked questions and common problems
3361 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3362 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3363 - added tests for this
3365 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3366 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3367 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3368 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3370 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3371 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3374 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3375 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3376 is much appreciated :)
3377 - added tests for this
3379 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3380 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3381 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3384 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3385 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3387 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3389 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3390 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3394 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3395 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3396 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3398 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3400 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3403 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3404 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3405 keywords because we need to localize them.
3406 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3408 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3409 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3410 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3413 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3416 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3417 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3418 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3421 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3422 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3423 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3425 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3427 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3428 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3429 bottom of your class file.
3432 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3435 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3437 - improved error message when loading modules so
3438 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3439 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3440 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3443 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3444 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3445 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)

3450 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3451 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3452 turn them on for you.
3453 - added tests for this
3454 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3455 in Moose::Meta::Class
3458 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
3459 automatically turned on for you.
3460 - added tests for this
3463 - now handles an edge case for override errors
3464 - added tests for this
3465 - added some more edge case tests

3482 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3483 - This release works in combination with
3484 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3485 release because it uses the a new
3486 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3487 complete Role implementation. It has
3488 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3489 the the previous CPAN version. This
3490 release also lacks good updated docs,
3491 the official release will have updated docs.
3494 - refactored the keyword exports
3495 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3496 accepts more than one Role at a time
3497 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3498 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3501 - refactored the keyword exports
3502 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3503 accepts more than one Role at a time
3505 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3506 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3507 string enumerations which can be used as
3509 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3512 - more careful checking of params to new()
3515 - much work done on the role composition
3516 - many new tests for conflict detection
3517 and composition edge cases
3518 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3519 looking at the tests
3521 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3522 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3523 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3525 * Moose::Meta::Class
3526 - some small changes to support the new
3528 - some small additions to support Roles
3530 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3531 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3533 - some small changes to support the new
3535 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3536 with the 'handles' option
3537 - added several tests for this
3538 - no docs for this yet

3542 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3543 thanks to chansen for this commit
3544 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3545 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3546 on a per-attribute basis
3547 - added tests for this
3548 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3549 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3550 experimental feature and probably not finished
