1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
9 skips every other role. (rjbs)
11 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
12 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
13 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. (doy, autarch)
15 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
19 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
20 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
21 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
24 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
29 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
31 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
32 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
34 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
38 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
39 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
40 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
44 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
45 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
47 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
48 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
50 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
51 environments. (doy, mateu)
53 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
57 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
58 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
59 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
60 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
64 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
65 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
67 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
71 * Update conflicts list.
74 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
78 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
79 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
80 details. (Dave Rolsky)
82 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
83 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
84 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
85 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
86 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
90 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
91 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
92 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
93 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
94 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
97 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
101 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
102 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
104 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
107 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
111 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
112 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
113 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
114 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
116 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
117 immutable classes). (mo)
119 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
120 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
121 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
123 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
127 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
129 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
131 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
135 * Fix some indexing issues.
137 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
139 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
143 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
144 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
145 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
146 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
147 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
149 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
150 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
155 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
156 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
157 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
158 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
160 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
161 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
162 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
166 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
167 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
170 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
174 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
175 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
179 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
183 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
184 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
185 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
186 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
189 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
193 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
196 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
200 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
201 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
202 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
205 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
209 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
210 policy. (Chris Prather)
212 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
213 on this new support policy. (doy)
217 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
218 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
219 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
221 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
222 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
224 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
228 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
229 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
230 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
231 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
234 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
238 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
239 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
242 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
246 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
247 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
249 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
250 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
254 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
255 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
256 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
257 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
258 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
259 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
261 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
262 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
264 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
265 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
266 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
267 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
269 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
270 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
272 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
277 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
278 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
280 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
284 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
285 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
286 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
288 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
292 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
293 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
294 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
296 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
297 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
300 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
301 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
304 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
305 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
306 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
308 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
309 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
314 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
315 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
316 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
317 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
319 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
320 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
322 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
323 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
325 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
326 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
327 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
328 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
330 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
331 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
332 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
335 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
336 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
337 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
338 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
340 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
341 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
344 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
345 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
346 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
348 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
352 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
353 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
354 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
356 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
357 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
358 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
361 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
362 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
363 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
365 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
366 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
367 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
369 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
370 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
374 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
375 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
376 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
378 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
379 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
380 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
381 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
383 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
387 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
388 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
389 value is a reference.
391 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
392 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
394 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
398 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
399 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
400 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
402 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
406 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
407 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
411 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
412 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
413 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
415 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
416 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
417 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
419 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
423 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
425 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
429 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
431 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
432 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
437 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
438 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
440 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
441 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
442 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
443 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
444 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
446 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
447 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
448 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
449 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
451 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
455 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
456 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
461 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
463 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
465 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
470 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
472 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
476 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
477 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
478 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
480 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
481 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
482 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
483 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
485 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
486 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
487 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
488 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
489 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
492 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
497 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
498 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
499 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
500 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
501 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
504 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
508 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
511 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
512 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
516 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
517 function (not just method). (doy)
521 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
522 and aren't easily installable/testable.
524 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
528 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
529 to be overridden more easily (doy).
531 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
535 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
536 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
538 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
542 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
543 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
544 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
546 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
550 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
551 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
552 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
554 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
555 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
559 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
560 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
562 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
563 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
567 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
568 is applied to a class (t0m).
570 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
571 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
573 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
576 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
577 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
579 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
580 be much more robust. (doy)
582 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
584 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
587 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
591 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
592 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
594 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
598 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
599 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
601 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
604 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
605 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
606 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
608 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
609 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
610 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
613 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
615 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
619 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
620 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
624 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
626 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
630 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
631 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
635 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
636 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
640 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
642 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
646 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
647 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
651 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
652 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
656 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
657 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
659 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
663 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
664 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
665 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
668 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
672 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
673 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
674 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
675 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
677 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
681 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
682 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
683 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
687 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
690 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
694 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
695 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
696 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
700 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
701 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
703 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
704 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
705 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
706 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
708 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
712 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
716 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
717 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
719 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
720 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
721 - Moose::Util::does_role
722 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
723 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
724 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
726 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
730 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
731 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
732 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
735 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
739 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
740 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
743 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
747 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
748 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
751 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
755 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
757 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
758 class. (Dave Rolsky).
760 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
761 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
762 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
764 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
765 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
766 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
769 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
770 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
772 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
773 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
774 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
776 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
778 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
779 substr et al, again. (sorear)
781 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
783 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
786 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
787 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
789 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
790 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
792 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
793 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
794 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
795 dependencies installed.
797 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
798 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
801 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
803 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
807 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
809 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
810 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
811 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
813 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
814 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
815 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
817 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
818 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
821 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
822 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
823 others. (nothingmuch)
825 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
826 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
827 remove_accessors. (doy)
829 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
830 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
831 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
833 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
834 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
836 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
837 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
838 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
839 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
842 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
843 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
845 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
846 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
848 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
850 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
851 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
854 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
855 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
856 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
857 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
858 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
860 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
861 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
862 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
863 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
864 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
865 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
866 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
869 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
870 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
871 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
872 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
873 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
875 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
876 which were not receiving the value of
877 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
878 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
879 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
880 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
884 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
885 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
886 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
887 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
888 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
891 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
892 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
893 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
894 - added tests for this (Stevan)
897 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
898 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
899 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
902 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
903 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
904 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
906 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
907 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
908 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
911 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
912 class if you pass it options for
913 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
914 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
915 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
916 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
917 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
918 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
919 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
920 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
921 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
923 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
924 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
925 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
926 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
927 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
930 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
931 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
932 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
933 existing delegation API. (hdp)
935 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
936 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
937 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
938 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
939 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
940 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
943 * Moose::Error::Croak
944 * Moose::Error::Confess
945 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
946 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
949 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
952 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
953 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
954 installing a broken sub. (doy)
957 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
960 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
961 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
962 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
964 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
965 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
966 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
967 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
968 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
970 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
971 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
974 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
976 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
977 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
980 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
981 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
983 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
984 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
985 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
986 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
988 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
989 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
990 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
991 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
992 using it for new code!
994 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
995 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
996 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
997 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
999 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1000 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1001 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1002 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1003 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1004 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1005 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1006 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1009 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1012 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1013 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1016 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1017 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1019 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1020 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1021 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1023 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1024 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1025 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1026 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1028 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1029 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1030 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1032 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1033 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1034 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1037 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1038 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1039 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1040 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1041 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1042 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1044 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1046 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1049 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1050 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1051 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1053 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1054 associated_methods. (hdp)
1055 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1056 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1057 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1058 misspelled) arguments
1060 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1061 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1062 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1063 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1065 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1066 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1067 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1069 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1072 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1073 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1074 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1077 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1078 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1080 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1081 * Moose::Meta::Class
1082 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1083 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1085 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1086 * Moose::Manual::Types
1087 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1088 string parsing rathole (mst)
1090 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1091 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1092 using plain objects instead
1094 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1095 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1096 that's what we need.
1098 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1099 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1100 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1101 three times today (perigrin)
1102 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1103 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1105 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1106 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1107 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1108 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1111 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1112 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1113 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1114 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1115 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1116 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1119 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1120 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1121 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1122 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1125 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1127 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1130 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1132 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1135 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1136 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1137 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1141 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1142 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1145 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1146 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1148 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1149 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1150 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1152 * Moose::Unsweetened
1153 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1155 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1156 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1159 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1163 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1164 methods during global destruction (doy)
1166 * Moose::Meta::Class
1167 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1168 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1169 consumption (Sartak)
1171 * Moose::Meta::Class
1172 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1173 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1176 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1177 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1180 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1181 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1183 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1185 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1189 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1190 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1191 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1194 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1195 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1196 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1199 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1201 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1202 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1203 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1206 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1207 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1208 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1209 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1211 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1212 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1213 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1216 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1219 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1220 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1221 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1225 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1226 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1228 * Moose::Meta::Class
1229 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1231 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1233 * Moose::Meta::Class
1234 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1235 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1238 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1239 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1242 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1243 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1246 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1249 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1251 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1252 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1255 * Moose::Meta::Class
1256 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1258 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1259 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1262 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1263 * More deprecations and renamings
1264 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1265 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1266 when an object is constructed)
1269 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1270 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1271 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1273 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1274 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1275 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1276 feature, and it works again.
1279 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1281 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1283 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1284 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1285 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1287 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1288 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1289 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1290 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1291 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1293 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1294 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1295 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1296 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1297 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1300 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1301 metaclass object. (hdp)
1303 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1304 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1305 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1306 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1307 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1308 point out this fact. (hdp)
1310 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1311 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1313 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1314 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1316 * Moose::Meta::Class
1317 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1318 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1319 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1320 called during instance construction were passed the
1321 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1322 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1324 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1325 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1328 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1329 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1330 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1333 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1334 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1335 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1336 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1337 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1339 - Moose::Meta::Class
1340 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1342 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1343 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1344 when an object is constructed)
1345 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1347 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1348 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1349 when an object is constructed)
1350 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1351 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1352 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1355 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1357 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1358 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1360 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1362 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1363 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1364 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1366 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1367 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1368 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1370 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1372 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1373 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1375 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1376 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1379 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1380 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1383 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1384 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1385 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1387 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1388 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1392 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1393 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1394 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1396 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1397 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1400 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1401 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1402 with recommended workarounds.
1404 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1405 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1407 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1408 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1409 (yes, spelled like that).
1411 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1412 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1414 * Moose::Meta::Class
1415 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1416 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1418 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1420 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1421 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1422 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1423 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1424 instead. Reported by doy.
1426 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1428 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1429 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1431 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1432 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1433 message) is now deprecated.
1434 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1435 often got it wrong. For example:
1437 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1439 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1443 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1444 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1445 bite you in weird cases.
1447 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1448 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1449 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1450 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1452 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1453 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1457 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1460 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1461 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1464 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1465 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1467 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1468 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1471 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1472 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1473 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1474 - added tests for this (stevan)
1476 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1477 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1478 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1479 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1483 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1484 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1485 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1486 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1488 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1489 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1490 - added tests for this (rafl)
1492 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1493 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1494 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1495 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1499 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1500 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1503 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1504 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1505 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1507 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1509 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1510 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1512 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1513 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1514 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1515 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1516 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1518 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1519 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1520 error message did not specify the attribute name
1523 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1525 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1527 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1528 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1529 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1531 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1532 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1535 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1537 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1538 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1539 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1540 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1542 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1544 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1545 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1546 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1547 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1549 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1550 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1551 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1553 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1554 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1555 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1556 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1557 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1559 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1560 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1561 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1562 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1563 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1565 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1566 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1567 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1568 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1569 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1570 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1572 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1573 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1574 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1575 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1576 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1577 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1579 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1580 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1582 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1583 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1584 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1585 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1587 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1588 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1591 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1595 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1596 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1598 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1599 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1600 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1601 guts. (nothingmuch).
1603 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1604 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1605 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1607 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1608 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1609 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1610 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1612 * Moose::Meta::Class
1613 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1616 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1617 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1619 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1620 * Moose::Unsweetened
1621 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1624 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1625 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1626 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1627 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1628 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1629 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1631 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1632 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1633 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1634 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1635 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1636 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1637 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1638 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1639 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1640 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1642 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1644 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1645 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1647 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1648 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1649 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1650 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1652 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1653 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1654 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1655 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1656 same methods for a single role did not work
1657 right (worked just fine with multiple
1659 - added test for this (stevan)
1661 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1662 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1663 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1666 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1667 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1668 - added test for this (t0m)
1671 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1672 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1673 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1675 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1676 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1677 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1678 - added test for this (t0m)
1680 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1681 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1682 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1683 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1684 - added test for this (perigrin)
1687 - create method for constructing a role
1688 dynamically (Sartak)
1689 - added test for this (Sartak)
1690 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1691 - added test for this (Sartak)
1694 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1696 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1697 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1698 methods is useful (Sartak)
1700 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1701 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1702 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1705 * Moose::Meta::Class
1706 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1707 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1708 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1709 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1710 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1711 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1714 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1715 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1717 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1718 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1719 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1720 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1721 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1723 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1725 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1726 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1727 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1730 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1731 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1732 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1733 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1734 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1735 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1738 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1739 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1740 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1741 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1742 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1743 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1744 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1745 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1746 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1747 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1748 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1750 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1751 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1754 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1755 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1756 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1757 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1758 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1760 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1762 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1763 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1764 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1766 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1767 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1769 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1770 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1771 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1772 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1775 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1776 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1778 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1780 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1781 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1783 * Moose::Meta::Class
1784 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1785 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1786 a required attribute
1788 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1789 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1790 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1791 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1793 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1794 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1796 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1797 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1798 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1799 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1800 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1801 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1802 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1803 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1805 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1806 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1807 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1809 * Roles and role application
1810 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1811 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1812 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1813 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1814 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1816 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1817 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1820 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1821 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1822 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1823 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1824 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1827 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1828 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1829 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1830 changes in the Moose internals.
1832 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1833 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1834 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1837 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1838 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1839 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1840 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1842 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1843 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1844 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1845 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1847 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1848 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1849 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1850 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1851 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1852 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1853 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1854 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1855 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1856 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1857 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1858 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1859 constraint implementations.
1861 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1865 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1866 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1867 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1868 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1869 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1870 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1871 - added tests for this (rafl)
1873 * Moose::Meta::Class
1874 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1875 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1876 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1877 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1878 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1879 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1880 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1881 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1884 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1885 - added tests for this (thepler)
1887 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1888 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1889 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1890 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1893 * Moose::Meta::Class
1894 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1895 * Moose::Meta::Method
1898 * Moose::Error::Default
1899 * Moose::Error::Croak
1900 * Moose::Error::Confess
1901 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1902 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1903 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1904 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1905 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1906 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1908 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1910 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1911 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1913 * Moose::Unsweetened
1914 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1915 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1916 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1918 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1919 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1920 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1921 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1922 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1925 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1926 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1928 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1929 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1930 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1931 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1934 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1936 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1937 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1939 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1942 - Various bug fixes.
1944 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1945 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1947 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1949 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1950 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1951 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1952 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1953 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1954 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1956 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1957 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1958 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1960 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1961 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1962 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1965 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1966 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1967 dependency to 0.64_07.
1969 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1970 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1971 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1973 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1974 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1977 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1978 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1979 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1980 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1981 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1982 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1984 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1985 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1987 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1989 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1990 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1994 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1995 method when that method was provided by another role being
1996 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1997 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1999 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
2001 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
2002 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
2004 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2005 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
2006 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
2007 - added test for this (t0m)
2009 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2010 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
2011 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
2013 - added test for this (t0m)
2016 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
2017 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
2018 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
2021 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
2022 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
2024 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
2026 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
2027 easier (Dave Rolsky)
2029 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2030 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
2031 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
2033 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2034 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
2037 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2038 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2039 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
2040 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
2044 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
2045 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
2046 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
2049 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
2050 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave

2102 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
2104 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2105 ... this is not my day today ...
2107 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2108 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2109 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2110 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2111 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2114 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2115 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2116 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2117 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2118 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2121 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2123 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2124 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)

2156 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2157 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2158 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2159 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2160 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2161 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2162 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2163 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2164 - added tests for this
2166 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2167 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to

2277 XS based functionality is now optional
2278 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2279 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2280 can now be used to force non-XS versions

2745 - you can now define multiple coercions on
2746 a single type at different times instead of
2747 having to do it all in one place
2748 - added tests for this
2750 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2751 - there is now a default constraint of sub { 1 }
2752 instead of Moose::Util::TypeConstraints setting
2755 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2756 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2757 - added the &has_coercion_for_type and
2758 &add_type_coercions methods to support the
2759 new features above (although you cannot add
2760 more type coercions for Union types)
2762 0.31 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
2763 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2764 - made the +attr syntax handle extending types with
2765 parameters. So "has '+foo' => (isa => 'ArrayRef[Int]')"
2766 now works if the original foo is an ArrayRef.
2767 - added tests for this.
2768 - delegation now works even if the attribute does not
2769 have a reader method using the get_read_method_ref
2770 method from Class::MOP::Attribute.
2771 - added tests for this
2772 - added docs for this
2774 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2775 - passing no "additional attribute info" to
2776 &find_or_create_type_constraint will no longer
2777 attempt to create an __ANON__ type for you,
2778 instead it will just return undef.
2779 - added docs for this
2781 0.30 Fri. Nov. 23, 2007

2792 - fixed it so that subtype 'Foo' => as 'HashRef[Int]' ...
2793 with work correctly.
2794 - added tests for this
2797 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2798 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code
2801 - New tests for builder bug. Upon instantiation, if an
2802 attribute had a builder, no value and was not lazy the
2803 builder default was not getting run, oops. (groditi)
2805 0.29 Tues. Nov. 13, 2007

2836 * fixing some misc. bits in the docs that
2837 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
2840 - fixed how required methods are handled
2841 when they encounter overriden or modified
2842 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2843 - added tests for this
2845 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2846 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2847 the | always creates a union and so is
2848 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2849 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2851 - added more tests for this
2853 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2856 * Parameterized Types
2857 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2858 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2859 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2860 They can also be nested:
2861 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2862 And work with the type unions as well:
2863 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2865 * Better Framework Extendability
2866 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2867 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2868 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2869 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2872 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2873 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2874 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2875 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2878 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2880 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
2881 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)

2940 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
2941 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2943 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2944 - this has been added to service the newly refactored

2960 (thanks to shlomif).
2962 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2963 - required attributes now will no longer accept undef
2964 from the constructor, even if there is a default and lazy
2965 - added tests for this
2966 - default subroutines must return a value which passes the
2968 - added tests for this
2970 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2971 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor

3002 - added tests for these
3004 0.24 Tues. July 3, 2007
3005 ~ Some doc updates/cleanup ~
3007 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3008 - added support for roles to be given as parameters

3013 (but not changing the handles option)
3014 - added tests and docs for this
3017 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
3018 so that required methods can come from superclasses

3022 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
3023 - fix inlined constructor for hierarchy with multiple BUILD methods (mst)

3029 the other side (perigrin)
3031 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
3032 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3033 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3034 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
3035 prototypes for functions
3036 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
3037 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

3047 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
3050 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
3051 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
3052 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
3053 - added tests for this
3055 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
3057 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

3070 where not handled correctly in roles
3071 - added tests for this
3073 * Moose::Meta::Class
3074 - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
3075 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
3076 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
3078 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
3079 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
3081 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
3082 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
3083 so this release is just to fix that.
3086 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
3087 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
3088 (thanks to konobi for this)
3089 - added tests and docs
3091 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
3092 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
3094 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3095 - 'type' now supports messages as well
3096 thanks to phaylon for finding this
3097 - added tests for this
3098 - added &list_all_type_constraints and
3099 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
3100 functions to facilitate introspection.
3102 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3103 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
3104 to build the list of delegated methods
3105 correctly (and not override important
3106 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
3108 - added tests and docs for this
3109 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3110 so that you can actually document your
3111 attributes and inspect them through the
3113 - added tests and docs for this
3115 * Moose::Meta::Class
3116 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3117 it will first look in for the class in the
3118 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3119 then default to just loading $name.
3120 - added tests and docs for this
3122 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3123 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3124 - added test for this
3127 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
3128 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
3129 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3130 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3132 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3133 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3136 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3138 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3139 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3140 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3143 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3144 !! for this developer release to work !!
3146 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3147 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3148 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3149 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3150 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3151 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3152 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3153 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3154 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3155 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3156 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3158 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3159 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3160 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3161 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3164 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3165 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3166 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3167 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3168 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3170 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3172 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3173 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3176 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3177 called unless they actually need to be.
3178 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3179 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3180 DEMOLISH method present.
3182 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3183 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3184 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3185 type constraint, which allows for a
3186 hand optimized version of the type
3187 constraint to be used when possible.
3188 - Any internally created type constraints
3189 now provide an optimized version as well.
3191 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3193 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3194 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3195 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3197 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3198 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3199 your class namespace of these exported
3202 * Moose::Meta::Class
3203 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3204 comes up during global destruction
3206 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3210 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3213 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3214 - changed how we do type checks so that
3215 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3218 - moved accessor generation methods to
3219 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3220 conform to the API changes from
3223 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3224 - changed how constraints are compiled
3225 so that we do less recursion and more
3226 iteration. This makes the type check
3228 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3231 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3232 - created this from methods formerly found in
3233 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3235 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3236 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3238 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3239 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3241 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3242 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3244 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3246 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3247 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3248 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3249 - added tests for this
3250 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3251 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3252 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3253 - removed tests for this
3255 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3257 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3258 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3259 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3262 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3263 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3264 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3266 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3267 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3268 comments for more info.
3271 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3272 asked questions and common problems
3274 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3275 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3276 - added tests for this
3278 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3279 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3280 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3281 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3283 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3284 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3287 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3288 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3289 is much appreciated :)
3290 - added tests for this
3292 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3293 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3294 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3297 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3298 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3300 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3302 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3303 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3307 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3308 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3309 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3311 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3313 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3316 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3317 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3318 keywords because we need to localize them.
3319 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3321 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3322 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3323 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3326 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3329 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3330 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3331 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3334 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3335 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3336 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3338 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3340 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3341 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3342 bottom of your class file.
3345 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3348 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3350 - improved error message when loading modules so
3351 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3352 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3353 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3356 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3357 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3358 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3360 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3361 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3363 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3364 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3365 turn them on for you.
3366 - added tests for this
3367 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3368 in Moose::Meta::Class
3371 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
3372 automatically turned on for you.
3373 - added tests for this
3376 - now handles an edge case for override errors
3377 - added tests for this
3378 - added some more edge case tests

3390 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3391 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
3394 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
3395 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3396 - This release works in combination with
3397 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3398 release because it uses the a new
3399 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3400 complete Role implementation. It has
3401 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3402 the the previous CPAN version. This
3403 release also lacks good updated docs,
3404 the official release will have updated docs.
3407 - refactored the keyword exports
3408 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3409 accepts more than one Role at a time
3410 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3411 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3414 - refactored the keyword exports
3415 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3416 accepts more than one Role at a time
3418 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3419 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3420 string enumerations which can be used as
3422 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3425 - more careful checking of params to new()
3428 - much work done on the role composition
3429 - many new tests for conflict detection
3430 and composition edge cases
3431 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3432 looking at the tests
3434 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3435 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3436 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3438 * Moose::Meta::Class
3439 - some small changes to support the new
3441 - some small additions to support Roles
3443 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3444 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3446 - some small changes to support the new
3448 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support

3455 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3456 thanks to chansen for this commit
3457 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
