1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * No changes, reupload to fix indexing.
10 2.0402 Sat, Feb 04, 2012
14 * Minor documentation fixes.
16 * Fix test failure on blead (test was unnecessarily strict). Reported by
19 2.0401 Thu, Nov 17, 2011
23 * Attributes with weak_ref now weaken their associated slot when they are
24 initialized through a lazy default or builder. Reported by tome. (doy)
26 2.0400 Tue, Nov 15, 2011
30 * No changes from 2.0302 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
32 2.0302 Wed, Nov 02, 2011
36 * Fix test failure on 5.8. (Dave Rolsky)
38 * Make make_immutable return value consistent and document it to be true.
41 2.0301 Fri, Oct 21, 2011
45 * Fix compilation on 5.8. Reported by ether. (doy)
47 * A custom error class caused a warning when the class that used it was made
48 immutable. Reported by Maroš Kollár. RT #71514. (Dave Rolsky)
52 * The enum type will now allow single value enumerations. Previously, two or
53 more values were required. (rjbs)
55 2.0300 Fri, Sep 23, 2011
59 * The optimize_as option for type constraints has been deprecated. Use the
60 inline_as option to provide inlining code instead. (Dave Rolsky)
64 * Methods to introspect a class's methods will now return methods defined in
65 UNIVERSAL (isa, can, etc.). This also means that you can wrap these
66 methods with method modifiers. RT #69839. Reported by Vyacheslav
67 Matyukhin. (Dave Rolsky)
69 * The ->parent and ->parents method for a union now return the nearest
70 common ancestor of that union's component types. See Moose::Manual::Delta
71 for more details. (Dave Rolsky)
73 * The ->parents method used to return an arrayref for union types, and a
74 list of one or more types for all other types. Now they all return
77 * The ->is_subtype_of and ->is_a_type_of methods have changed their behavior
78 for union types. Previously, they returned true if any of their member
79 types returned true for a given type. Now, all of the member types must
80 return true. RT #67731. (Dave Rolsky)
84 * The Moose::Exporter module now has a "meta_lookup" option when creating an
85 importer. This allows you to specify an alternate method for determining
86 the metaclass of a caller. This is useful for modules like
87 MooseX::Role::Parameterized which generate new metaclasses on the
90 * Added a Moose::Meta::Method->is_stub method. (Dave Rolsky)
94 * A subtype of a union type did not return the right results when you called
95 ->is_subtype_of or ->is_a_type_of on it. This has been fixed. RT
98 * An attribute accessor or delegation method can overwrite a stub method and
99 this will no longer throw an error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. RT
100 #69988. (Dave Rolsky)
102 * The error generated by unfulfilled method requirements during role
103 composition now mentions how to work around imported methods not being
104 recognized. Reported by Michael Schwern. RT #60583. (doy)
106 * class_type and role_type will now throw errors if you attempt to use them
107 to override existing types, just like type and subtype have always done.
110 * Implicitly creating class or role types by using them as the 'isa' or
111 'does' parameter to attribute construction will now register the type. This
112 means that it cannot later be redefined as something else. (doy)
114 * $class_type->is_subtype_of no longer returns true if passed the name of the
115 class that the class type represents when the class type wasn't registered.
118 * Removing anonymous metaclasses prematurely no longer prevents reaping of
119 the associated stash. (doy)
123 * The Class::MOP::load_class and Class::MOP::is_class_loaded subroutines are
124 no longer documented, and will cause a deprecation warning in the
125 future. Moose now uses Class::Load to provide this functionality, and you
126 should as well. (Dave Rolsky)
128 2.0205 Tue, Sep 06, 2011
132 * The Array and Hash native traits now provide a "shallow_clone" method,
133 which will return a reference to a new container with the same contents as
134 the attribute's reference.
138 * Specifying an invalid value in a hashref 'handles' value now throws a
139 sensible error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. RT #69990. (Dave
144 * When specifying an attribute trait, passing options for the trait besides
145 -alias or -excludes caused a warning. However, passing other options is
146 totally valid when using MooseX::Role::Parameterized. Fixes RT
149 * Allow regexp objects in duck_type constraints (to bring this in line with
150 the Object constraint).
152 2.0204 Thu, Aug 25, 2011
156 * Validating duck_type type constraint turned out to work only by accident,
157 and only when not running under the debugger. This has been fixed.
162 * Loosen the dependency on ExtUtils::ParseXS.
164 2.0203 Tue, Aug 23, 2011
168 * is_class_loaded now properly detects packages which have a version object
171 * Fix XS compilation under blead.
173 2.0202 Tue, Jul 26, 2011
177 * Be more consistent about how type constraint messages are handled.
179 2.0201 Fri, Jul 22, 2011
183 * Moose::Util::does_role shouldn't call ->does on things that don't inherit
186 * Make ->does initialize the metaclass, so that calling it as a class method
187 on a class which sets up inheritance via some method other than extends
188 works properly (this fixes an issue with MooseX::Types).
190 * Make Dist::CheckConflicts a runtime requirement, so moose-outdated always
193 2.0200 Mon, Jul 18, 2011
197 * No changes from 2.0105 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
199 2.0105-TRIAL Mon, Jun 27, 2011
203 * Moose::Util::does_role now respects overridden ->does methods. (doy)
205 2.0104-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
209 * Include changes from 2.0010.
211 2.0103-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
215 * Several things that have been deprecated for a while have been removed. See
216 the 2.0000 section in Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
220 * New Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::union function for creating union type
221 constraints without having to rely on the string type constraint parsing.
222 This also allows for creating unions of anonymous type constraints.
227 * Include changes from Moose 2.0009.
229 2.0102-TRIAL Sat, Jun 18, 2011
233 * The native Array trait now has a 'first_index' method, which works just
234 like the version in List::MoreUtils. (Karen Etheridge)
236 * Clean up some internal code to help out extensions.
240 * Include changes from Moose 2.0008.
242 2.0101-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
246 * Various packaging issues.
248 2.0100-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
252 * Using a hand-optimized type constraint is now deprecated. In keeping with
253 our release policy, this won't actually start warning until the 2.0200
258 * Type constraints can now provide inlined versions, which should make
259 inlined code which uses type constraints (such as accessors) faster. This
260 replaces the existing hand-optimized constraint feature. (Dave Rolsky)
264 * Remove a lot of cases where generated methods closed over meta objects.
265 Most simple cases should now only close over simple data types and
266 coderefs. This should make deparsing simpler.
268 2.0010 Mon, Jun 20, 2011
272 * Fix regression in 2.0009 and 2.0103 when applying roles during init_meta in
273 an exporter that also re-exports Moose or Moose::Role. (t0m, ilmari)
275 2.0009 Sun, Jun 19, 2011
279 * duck_type type constraints now report reasonable errors when given
280 something which isn't an instance of an object. (t0m)
282 * Moose::Util::apply_all_roles now works even if the applicant is a non-Moose
285 * When an object is reblessed, triggers are called on attributes that are
286 set during the reblessing. (Karen Etheridge).
290 * Better error message if Moose->init_meta is called with a 'metaclass'
291 option when that metaclass hasn't been loaded. (jasonmay)
293 2.0008 Thu, Jun 16, 2011
297 * The 'accessor' native delegation for hashrefs now allows setting the value
298 to undef. (sugoik, doy)
302 * Various generated methods have more useful context information. (doy)
304 2.0007 Sun, May 15, 2011
308 * Make sure weak attributes remain weak when cloning. (doy, rafl)
310 2.0006 Mon, May 09, 2011
314 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
315 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
317 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
321 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
323 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
327 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
329 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
330 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
332 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
336 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
337 skips every other role. (rjbs)
339 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
340 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
341 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
342 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
343 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
345 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
349 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
350 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
351 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
354 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
359 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
361 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
362 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
364 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
368 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
369 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
370 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
374 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
375 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
377 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
378 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
380 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
381 environments. (doy, mateu)
383 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
387 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
388 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
389 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
390 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
394 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
395 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
397 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
401 * Update conflicts list.
404 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
408 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
409 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
410 details. (Dave Rolsky)
412 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
413 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
414 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
415 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
416 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
420 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
421 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
422 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
423 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
424 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
427 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
431 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
432 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
434 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
437 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
441 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
442 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
443 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
444 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
446 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
447 immutable classes). (mo)
449 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
450 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
451 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
453 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
457 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
459 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
461 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
465 * Fix some indexing issues.
467 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
469 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
473 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
474 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
475 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
476 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
477 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
479 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
480 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
485 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
486 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
487 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
488 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
490 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
491 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
492 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
496 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
497 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
500 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
504 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
505 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
509 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
513 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
514 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
515 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
516 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
519 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
523 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
526 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
530 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
531 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
532 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
535 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
539 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
540 policy. (Chris Prather)
542 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
543 on this new support policy. (doy)
547 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
548 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
549 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
551 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
552 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
554 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
558 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
559 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
560 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
561 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
564 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
568 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
569 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
572 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
576 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
577 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
579 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
580 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
584 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
585 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
586 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
587 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
588 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
589 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
591 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
592 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
594 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
595 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
596 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
597 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
599 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
600 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
602 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
607 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
608 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
610 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
614 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
615 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
616 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
618 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
622 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
623 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
624 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
626 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
627 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
630 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
631 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
634 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
635 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
636 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
638 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
639 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
644 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
645 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
646 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
647 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
649 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
650 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
652 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
653 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
655 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
656 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
657 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
658 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
660 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
661 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
662 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
665 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
666 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
667 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
668 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
670 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
671 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
674 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
675 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
676 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
678 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
682 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
683 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
684 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
686 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
687 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
688 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
691 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
692 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
693 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
695 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
696 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
697 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
699 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
700 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
704 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
705 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
706 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
708 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
709 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
710 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
711 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
713 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
717 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
718 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
719 value is a reference.
721 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
722 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
724 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
728 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
729 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
730 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
732 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
736 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
737 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
741 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
742 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
743 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
745 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
746 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
747 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
749 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
753 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
755 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
759 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
761 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
762 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
767 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
768 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
770 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
771 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
772 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
773 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
774 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
776 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
777 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
778 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
779 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
781 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
785 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
786 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
791 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
793 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
795 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
800 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).

806 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
807 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
808 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
810 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
811 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
812 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
813 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
815 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
816 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
817 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
818 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
819 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
822 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
827 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
828 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
829 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
830 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
831 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
834 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
838 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
841 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
842 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
846 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
847 function (not just method). (doy)
851 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
852 and aren't easily installable/testable.
854 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
858 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
859 to be overridden more easily (doy).
861 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
865 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
866 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
868 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
872 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
873 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
874 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
876 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
880 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
881 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
882 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
884 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
885 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
889 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
890 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
892 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
893 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
897 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
898 is applied to a class (t0m).
900 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
901 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
903 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
906 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
907 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
909 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
910 be much more robust. (doy)
912 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
914 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
917 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
921 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
922 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
924 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
928 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
929 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
931 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
934 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
935 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
936 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
938 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
939 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
940 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
943 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
945 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
949 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
950 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
954 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
956 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
960 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
961 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
965 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
966 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
970 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
972 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
976 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
977 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
981 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
982 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
986 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
987 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
989 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
993 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
994 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
995 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
998 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
1002 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
1003 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
1004 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
1005 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
1007 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
1011 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
1012 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
1013 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
1017 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
1018 (Michael G. Schwern)
1020 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
1024 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
1025 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
1026 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
1030 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
1031 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
1033 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
1034 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
1035 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
1036 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
1038 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
1042 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
1046 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
1047 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
1049 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
1050 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
1051 - Moose::Util::does_role
1052 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
1053 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
1054 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
1056 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
1060 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
1061 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
1062 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
1065 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1069 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
1070 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
1073 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1077 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
1078 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
1081 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
1085 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
1087 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
1088 class. (Dave Rolsky).
1090 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
1091 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
1092 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
1094 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
1095 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
1096 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
1099 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
1100 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1102 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
1103 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
1104 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
1106 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
1108 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
1109 substr et al, again. (sorear)
1111 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
1113 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
1116 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
1117 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
1119 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
1120 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
1122 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
1123 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
1124 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
1125 dependencies installed.
1127 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
1128 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
1131 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
1133 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
1137 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1139 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1140 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
1141 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
1143 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1144 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
1145 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
1147 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
1148 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
1151 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
1152 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
1153 others. (nothingmuch)
1155 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1156 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
1157 remove_accessors. (doy)
1159 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1160 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
1161 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
1163 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
1164 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
1166 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
1167 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1168 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
1169 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
1171 * Moose::Meta::Class
1172 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
1173 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
1175 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1176 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
1178 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
1180 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
1181 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
1184 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1185 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
1186 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
1187 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
1188 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
1190 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
1191 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
1192 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
1193 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
1194 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
1195 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
1196 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
1199 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
1200 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
1201 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
1202 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
1203 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
1205 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
1206 which were not receiving the value of
1207 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
1208 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
1209 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
1210 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
1214 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
1215 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
1216 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
1217 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
1218 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
1221 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1222 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
1223 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
1224 - added tests for this (Stevan)
1226 * Moose::Meta::Class
1227 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
1228 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
1229 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
1232 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
1233 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1234 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
1236 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1237 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
1238 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
1241 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
1242 class if you pass it options for
1243 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
1244 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
1245 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
1246 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
1247 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
1248 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
1249 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
1250 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
1251 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
1253 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1254 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
1255 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
1256 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
1257 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
1260 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
1261 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1262 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
1263 existing delegation API. (hdp)
1265 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1266 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
1267 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
1268 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
1269 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
1270 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
1273 * Moose::Error::Croak
1274 * Moose::Error::Confess
1275 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
1276 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
1279 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
1282 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
1283 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
1284 installing a broken sub. (doy)
1286 * Moose::Meta::Class
1287 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
1290 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
1291 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1292 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
1294 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1295 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1296 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
1297 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
1298 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
1300 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1301 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
1304 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
1306 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1307 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1310 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1311 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1313 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1314 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1315 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1316 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1318 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1319 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1320 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1321 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1322 using it for new code!
1324 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1325 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1326 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1327 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1329 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1330 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1331 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1332 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1333 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1334 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1335 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1336 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1339 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1342 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1343 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1346 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1347 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1349 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1350 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1351 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1353 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1354 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1355 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1356 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1358 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1359 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1360 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1362 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1363 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1364 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1367 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1368 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1369 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1370 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1371 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1372 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1374 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1376 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1379 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1380 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1381 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1383 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1384 associated_methods. (hdp)
1385 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1386 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1387 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1388 misspelled) arguments
1390 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1391 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1392 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1393 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1395 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1396 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1397 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1399 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1402 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1403 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1404 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1407 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1408 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1410 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1411 * Moose::Meta::Class
1412 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1413 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1415 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1416 * Moose::Manual::Types
1417 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1418 string parsing rathole (mst)
1420 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1421 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1422 using plain objects instead
1424 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1425 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1426 that's what we need.
1428 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1429 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1430 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1431 three times today (perigrin)
1432 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1433 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1435 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1436 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1437 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1438 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1441 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1442 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1443 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1444 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1445 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1446 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1449 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1450 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1451 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1452 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1455 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1457 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1460 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1462 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1465 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1466 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1467 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1471 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1472 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1475 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1476 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1478 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1479 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1480 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1482 * Moose::Unsweetened
1483 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1485 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1486 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1489 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1493 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1494 methods during global destruction (doy)
1496 * Moose::Meta::Class
1497 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1498 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1499 consumption (Sartak)
1501 * Moose::Meta::Class
1502 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1503 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1506 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1507 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1510 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1511 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1513 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1515 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1519 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1520 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1521 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1524 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1525 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1526 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1529 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1531 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1532 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1533 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1536 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1537 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1538 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1539 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1541 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1542 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1543 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1546 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1549 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1550 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1551 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1555 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1556 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1558 * Moose::Meta::Class
1559 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1561 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1563 * Moose::Meta::Class
1564 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1565 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1568 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1569 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1572 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1573 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1576 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1579 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1581 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1582 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1585 * Moose::Meta::Class
1586 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1588 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1589 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1592 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1593 * More deprecations and renamings
1594 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1595 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1596 when an object is constructed)
1599 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1600 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1601 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1603 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1604 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1605 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1606 feature, and it works again.
1609 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1611 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1613 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1614 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1615 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1617 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1618 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1619 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1620 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1621 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1623 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1624 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1625 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1626 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1627 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1630 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1631 metaclass object. (hdp)
1633 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1634 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1635 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1636 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1637 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1638 point out this fact. (hdp)
1640 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1641 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1643 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1644 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1646 * Moose::Meta::Class
1647 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1648 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1649 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1650 called during instance construction were passed the
1651 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1652 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1654 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1655 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1658 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1659 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1660 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1663 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1664 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1665 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1666 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1667 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1669 - Moose::Meta::Class
1670 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1672 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1673 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1674 when an object is constructed)
1675 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1677 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1678 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1679 when an object is constructed)
1680 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1681 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1682 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1685 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1687 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1688 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1690 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1692 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1693 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1694 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1696 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1697 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1698 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1700 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1702 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1703 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1705 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1706 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1709 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1710 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1713 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1714 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1715 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1717 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1718 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1722 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1723 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1724 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1726 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1727 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1730 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1731 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1732 with recommended workarounds.
1734 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1735 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1737 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1738 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1739 (yes, spelled like that).
1741 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1742 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1744 * Moose::Meta::Class
1745 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1746 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1748 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1750 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1751 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1752 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1753 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1754 instead. Reported by doy.
1756 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1758 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1759 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1761 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1762 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1763 message) is now deprecated.
1764 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1765 often got it wrong. For example:
1767 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1769 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1773 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1774 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1775 bite you in weird cases.
1777 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1778 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1779 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1780 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1782 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1783 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1787 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1790 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1791 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1794 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1795 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1797 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1798 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1801 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1802 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1803 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1804 - added tests for this (stevan)
1806 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1807 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1808 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1809 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1813 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1814 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1815 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1816 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1818 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1819 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1820 - added tests for this (rafl)
1822 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1823 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1824 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1825 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1829 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1830 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1833 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1834 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1835 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1837 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1839 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1840 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1842 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1843 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1844 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1845 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1846 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1848 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1849 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1850 error message did not specify the attribute name
1853 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1855 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1857 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1858 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1859 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1861 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1862 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1865 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1867 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1868 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1869 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1870 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1872 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1874 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1875 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1876 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1877 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1879 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1880 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1881 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1883 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1884 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1885 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1886 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1887 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1889 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1890 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1891 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1892 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1893 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1895 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1896 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1897 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1898 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1899 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1900 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1902 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1903 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1904 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1905 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1906 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1907 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1909 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1910 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1912 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1913 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1914 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1915 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1917 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1918 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1921 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1925 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1926 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1928 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1929 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1930 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1931 guts. (nothingmuch).
1933 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1934 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1935 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1937 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1938 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1939 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1940 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1942 * Moose::Meta::Class
1943 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1946 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1947 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1949 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1950 * Moose::Unsweetened
1951 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1954 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1955 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1956 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1957 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1958 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1959 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1961 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1962 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1963 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1964 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1965 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1966 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1967 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1968 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1969 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1970 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1972 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1974 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1975 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1977 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1978 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1979 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1980 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1982 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1983 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1984 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1985 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1986 same methods for a single role did not work
1987 right (worked just fine with multiple
1989 - added test for this (stevan)
1991 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1992 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1993 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1996 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1997 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1998 - added test for this (t0m)
2001 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
2002 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
2003 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
2005 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2006 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
2007 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
2008 - added test for this (t0m)
2010 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2011 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
2012 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
2013 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
2014 - added test for this (perigrin)
2017 - create method for constructing a role
2018 dynamically (Sartak)
2019 - added test for this (Sartak)
2020 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
2021 - added test for this (Sartak)
2024 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
2026 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
2027 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
2028 methods is useful (Sartak)
2030 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
2031 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2032 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
2035 * Moose::Meta::Class
2036 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
2037 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
2038 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
2039 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
2040 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
2041 - added tests for this (jdv79)
2044 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
2045 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
2047 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
2048 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
2049 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
2050 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
2051 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
2053 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
2055 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
2056 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2057 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
2060 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
2061 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
2062 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
2063 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
2064 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
2065 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
2068 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2069 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
2070 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
2071 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
2072 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
2073 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
2074 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
2075 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
2076 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
2077 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
2078 future. (jnapiorkowski)
2080 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2081 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
2084 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2085 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
2086 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
2087 type. (jnapiorkowski)
2088 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2090 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
2092 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
2093 predicate, and link to more details sections in
2094 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
2096 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2097 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
2099 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2100 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
2101 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
2102 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2105 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
2106 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
2108 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
2110 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
2111 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
2113 * Moose::Meta::Class
2114 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
2115 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
2116 a required attribute
2118 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
2119 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
2120 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
2121 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
2123 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2124 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
2126 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2127 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
2128 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
2129 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
2130 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
2131 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
2132 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
2133 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
2135 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
2136 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
2137 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
2139 * Roles and role application
2140 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
2141 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
2142 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
2143 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
2144 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
2146 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
2147 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
2150 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
2151 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
2152 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
2153 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
2154 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
2157 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
2158 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
2159 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
2160 changes in the Moose internals.
2162 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
2163 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2164 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
2167 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2168 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
2169 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
2170 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
2172 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2173 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
2174 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
2175 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
2177 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2178 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
2179 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
2180 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
2181 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
2182 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
2183 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
2184 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
2185 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
2186 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
2187 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
2188 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
2189 constraint implementations.
2191 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
2195 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
2196 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
2197 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
2198 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
2199 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
2200 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
2201 - added tests for this (rafl)
2203 * Moose::Meta::Class
2204 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
2205 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
2206 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
2207 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
2208 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
2209 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
2210 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
2211 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
2214 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
2215 - added tests for this (thepler)
2217 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2218 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
2219 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
2220 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
2223 * Moose::Meta::Class
2224 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2225 * Moose::Meta::Method
2228 * Moose::Error::Default
2229 * Moose::Error::Croak
2230 * Moose::Error::Confess
2231 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
2232 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
2233 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
2234 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
2235 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
2236 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
2238 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
2240 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
2241 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
2243 * Moose::Unsweetened
2244 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
2245 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
2246 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
2248 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2249 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
2250 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
2251 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
2252 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2255 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
2256 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
2258 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
2259 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
2260 several major changes in this release of Moose.
2261 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
2264 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
2266 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
2267 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
2269 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
2272 - Various bug fixes.
2274 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
2275 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
2277 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
2279 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
2280 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2281 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2282 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
2283 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
2284 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
2286 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2287 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
2288 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
2290 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
2291 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
2292 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
2295 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
2296 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
2297 dependency to 0.64_07.
2299 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
2300 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
2301 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
2303 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2304 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
2307 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2308 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
2309 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
2310 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
2311 coincidental exception. (t0m).
2312 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2314 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2315 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
2317 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2319 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
2320 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
2324 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
2325 method when that method was provided by another role being
2326 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
2327 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
2329 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
2331 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
2332 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
2334 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2335 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
2336 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
2337 - added test for this (t0m)
2339 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2340 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
2341 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
2343 - added test for this (t0m)
2346 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
2347 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
2348 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
2351 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
2352 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
2354 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
2356 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
2357 easier (Dave Rolsky)
2359 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2360 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
2361 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
2363 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2364 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
2367 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2368 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2369 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
2370 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
2374 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
2375 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
2376 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
2379 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
2380 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
2381 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
2382 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
2385 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
2389 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
2390 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
2391 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
2393 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
2394 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2395 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
2396 created so that the process can be more easily

2409 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
2411 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
2412 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
2413 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
2415 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
2416 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
2417 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
2419 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
2420 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
2422 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2423 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
2426 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2427 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
2431 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
2432 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
2434 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2435 ... this is not my day today ...
2437 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2438 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2439 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2440 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2441 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2444 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2445 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2446 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2447 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2448 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2451 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2453 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2454 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
2455 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
2456 this is not ever something you want to do
2457 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
2458 - added tests for this (stevan)
2461 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
2463 - added test for this
2465 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2466 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
2467 - added tests for this (wreis)
2469 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
2470 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
2471 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
2472 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
2474 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
2475 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
2476 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
2479 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
2481 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
2483 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
2486 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2487 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2488 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2489 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2490 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2491 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2492 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2493 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2494 - added tests for this
2496 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2497 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
2498 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
2499 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
2501 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
2503 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2504 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)

2556 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
2557 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
2559 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2560 - move the ClassName type check code to
2561 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
2563 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
2564 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
2566 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2567 (early morning release engineering)--
2569 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2570 which was causing the indexer to choke
2572 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2573 (late night release engineering)--
2575 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
2576 changes in this release
2578 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
2579 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
2580 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!

2584 since it is called so often by &meta
2586 * Moose::Meta::Class
2588 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
2589 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
2592 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2593 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
2594 method for immutablization to check if the
2595 destructor object even needs to be created
2598 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2599 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2600 - added more descriptive error message to help
2601 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
2602 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
2604 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
2606 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
2607 XS based functionality is now optional
2608 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2609 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2610 can now be used to force non-XS versions
2612 - several of the packages have been tweaked
2613 to take care of this, mostly we added
2614 support for the package_name and name
2615 variables in all the Method metaclasses
2616 - before/around/after method modifiers now
2617 support regexp matching of names
2618 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2619 - tests added for this
2620 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
2621 is currently not supported in roles,
2622 but, ... patches welcome
2623 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2624 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2625 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2628 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2629 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2630 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2631 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
2632 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
2633 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
2634 - added test for this
2636 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2637 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
2638 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
2641 * Moose::Meta::Class
2642 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
2646 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
2648 - added tests for this
2649 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
2650 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2652 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2653 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
2654 themselves parameterizable types
2656 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2657 - fixed bug where trigger was not being
2658 called by the inlined immutable
2660 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
2662 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
2663 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
2664 (if possible) to create the anon-class
2665 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
2667 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
2668 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
2672 - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was
2673 causing occasional cpantester failures

2679 - made make_immutable warning cluck to
2680 show where the error is (thanks mst)
2683 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
2684 ->body when looping through the
2685 methods, to avoid the overloaded
2687 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
2688 eating the $@ values, and so not
2689 working correctly, it still kind of
2690 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
2691 - added tests for this
2693 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
2694 - added new recipe for immutable
2695 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2697 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe9
2698 - added new recipe for builder and
2699 lazy_build (thanks Dave Rolsky)

2703 and exclusion with Roles (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2706 - fixed Win32 test failure (thanks spicyjack)
2708 ~ removed Build.PL and Module::Build compat
2709 since Module::Install has done that.
2711 0.43 Wed. April, 30, 2008
2713 drink more coffee before
2714 doing release engineering
2716 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
2717 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr
2718 modules. This fixes that.
2720 0.42 Mon. April 28, 2008
2721 - some bad tests slipped by, nothing else
2722 changed in this release (cpantesters++)
2724 - upped the Class::MOP dependency to 0.55
2725 since we have tests which need the C3

2731 - Changed all usage of die to Carp::croak for better
2732 error reporting (initial patch by Tod Hagan)
2734 ** IMPORTANT NOTE **
2735 - the make_immutable keyword is now deprecated, don't
2736 use it in any new code and please fix your old code
2737 as well. There will be 2 releases, and then it will
2743 - refactored the way inner and super work to avoid
2744 any method/@ISA cache penalty (nothingmuch)
2746 * Moose::Meta::Class
2747 - fixing &new_object to make sure trigger gets the
2748 coerced value (spotted by Charles Alderman on the
2750 - added test for this
2752 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2753 - immutable classes which had non-lazy attributes were calling
2754 the default generating sub twice in the constructor. (bug
2755 found by Jesse Luehrs, fixed by Dave Rolsky)
2756 - added tests for this (Dave Rolsky)
2757 - fix typo in initialize_body method (nothingmuch)

2768 - inherited attributes may now be extended without
2769 restriction on the type ('isa', 'does') (Sartak)
2770 - added tests for this (Sartak)
2771 - when an attribute property is malformed (such as lazy without
2772 a default), give the name of the attribute in the error
2774 - added the &applied_traits and &has_applied_traits methods
2775 to allow introspection of traits
2776 - added tests for this
2777 - moved 'trait' and 'metaclass' argument handling to here from
2779 - clone_and_inherit_options now handles 'trait' and 'metaclass' (has
2780 '+foo' syntax) (nothingmuch)

2784 - localize $@ inside DEMOLISHALL to avoid it
2785 eating $@ (found by Ernesto)
2786 - added test for this (thanks to Ernesto)
2788 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2789 - &find_type_constraint now DWIMs when given an

2831 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2833 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
2834 that come from recently composed roles. It makes

2877 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
2878 it ever did this originally, this means we now

3124 - added tests for this
3127 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
3128 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

3170 - fixed how required methods are handled
3171 when they encounter overriden or modified
3172 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
3173 - added tests for this
3175 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint

3183 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
3186 * Parameterized Types
3187 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
3188 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
3189 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
3190 They can also be nested:
3191 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
3192 And work with the type unions as well:
3193 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
3195 * Better Framework Extendability
3196 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
3197 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
3198 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
3199 section of the Moose.pm docs.
3202 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
3203 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
3204 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
3205 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

3459 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3460 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3462 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3463 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3466 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3468 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3469 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3470 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3473 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3474 !! for this developer release to work !!
3476 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3477 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3478 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3479 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3480 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3481 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3482 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3483 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3484 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3485 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3486 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3488 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3489 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3490 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3491 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3494 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3495 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3496 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3497 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3498 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3500 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3502 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3503 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3506 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3507 called unless they actually need to be.
3508 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3509 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3510 DEMOLISH method present.
3512 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3513 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3514 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3515 type constraint, which allows for a
3516 hand optimized version of the type
3517 constraint to be used when possible.
3518 - Any internally created type constraints
3519 now provide an optimized version as well.
3521 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3523 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3524 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3525 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3527 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3528 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3529 your class namespace of these exported
3532 * Moose::Meta::Class
3533 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3534 comes up during global destruction
3536 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3540 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3543 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3544 - changed how we do type checks so that
3545 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3548 - moved accessor generation methods to
3549 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3550 conform to the API changes from
3553 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3554 - changed how constraints are compiled
3555 so that we do less recursion and more
3556 iteration. This makes the type check
3558 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3561 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3562 - created this from methods formerly found in
3563 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3565 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3566 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3568 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3569 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3571 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3572 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3574 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3576 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3577 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3578 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3579 - added tests for this
3580 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3581 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3582 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3583 - removed tests for this
3585 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3587 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3588 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3589 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3592 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3593 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3594 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3596 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3597 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3598 comments for more info.
3601 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3602 asked questions and common problems
3604 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3605 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3606 - added tests for this
3608 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3609 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3610 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3611 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3613 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3614 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3617 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3618 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3619 is much appreciated :)
3620 - added tests for this
3622 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3623 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3624 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3627 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3628 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3630 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3632 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3633 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3637 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3638 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3639 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3641 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3643 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3646 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3647 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3648 keywords because we need to localize them.
3649 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3651 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3652 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3653 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3656 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3659 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3660 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3661 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3664 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3665 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3666 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3668 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3670 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3671 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3672 bottom of your class file.
3675 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3678 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3680 - improved error message when loading modules so
3681 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3682 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3683 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3686 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3687 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3688 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3690 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3691 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3693 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3694 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3695 turn them on for you.
3696 - added tests for this
3697 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3698 in Moose::Meta::Class
3701 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
3702 automatically turned on for you.

3721 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
3724 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
3725 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3726 - This release works in combination with
3727 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3728 release because it uses the a new
3729 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3730 complete Role implementation. It has
3731 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3732 the the previous CPAN version. This
3733 release also lacks good updated docs,
3734 the official release will have updated docs.
3737 - refactored the keyword exports
3738 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3739 accepts more than one Role at a time
3740 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3741 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3744 - refactored the keyword exports
3745 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3746 accepts more than one Role at a time
3748 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3749 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3750 string enumerations which can be used as
3752 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3755 - more careful checking of params to new()
3758 - much work done on the role composition
3759 - many new tests for conflict detection
3760 and composition edge cases
3761 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3762 looking at the tests
3764 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3765 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3766 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3768 * Moose::Meta::Class
3769 - some small changes to support the new
3771 - some small additions to support Roles
3773 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3774 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3776 - some small changes to support the new
3778 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3779 with the 'handles' option
3780 - added several tests for this
3781 - no docs for this yet
3783 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
3785 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3786 thanks to chansen for this commit
3787 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3788 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3789 on a per-attribute basis
3790 - added tests for this
3791 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3792 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3793 experimental feature and probably not finished

3795 more details, or ask about it on #moose
3796 - added tests for this

3811 construct_instance (for the better)
3813 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

3858 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
3860 - added test for this
3863 - this class can now be extended with 'use base' if
