1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * The optimize_as option for type constraints has been deprecated. Use the
9 inline_as option to provide inlining code instead. (Dave Rolsky)
13 * The ->is_subtype_of and ->is_a_type_of methods have changed their
14 behavior. Previously, they returned true if any of their member types
15 returned true for a given type. Now, all of the member types must return
16 true. Fixes RT #67731. (Dave Rolsky)
20 * The Moose::Exporter module now has a "meta_lookup" option when creating an
21 importer. This allows you to specify an alternate method for determining
22 the metaclass of a caller. This is useful for modules like
23 MooseX::Role::Parameterized which generate new metaclasses on the
26 * Added a Moose::Meta::Method->is_stub method. (Dave Rolsky)
28 * An attribute accessor or delegation method can overwrite a stub method and
29 this will no longer throw an error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. Fixes
30 RT 69988. (Dave Rolsky)
34 * A subtype of a union type did not return the right results when you called
35 ->is_subtype_of or ->is_a_type_of on it. This has been fixed. RT
40 * The Class::MOP::load_class and Class::MOP::is_class_loaded subroutines are
41 no longer documented, and will cause a deprecation warning in the
42 future. Moose now uses Class::Load to provide this functionality, and you
43 should as well. (Dave Rolsky)
45 2.0205 Tue, Sep 06, 2011
49 * The Array and Hash native traits now provide a "shallow_clone" method,
50 which will return a reference to a new container with the same contents as
51 the attribute's reference.
55 * Specifying an invalid value in a hashref 'handles' value now throws a
56 sensible error. Fixes RT #69990. (Dave Rolsky)
60 * When specifying an attribute trait, passing options for the trait besides
61 -alias or -excludes caused a warning. However, passing other options is
62 totally valid when using MooseX::Role::Parameterized. Fixes RT
65 * Allow regexp objects in duck_type constraints (to bring this in line with
66 the Object constraint).
68 2.0204 Thu, Aug 25, 2011
72 * Validating duck_type type constraint turned out to work only by accident,
73 and only when not running under the debugger. This has been fixed.
78 * Loosen the dependency on ExtUtils::ParseXS.
80 2.0203 Tue, Aug 23, 2011
84 * is_class_loaded now properly detects packages which have a version object
87 * Fix XS compilation under blead.
89 2.0202 Tue, Jul 26, 2011
93 * Be more consistent about how type constraint messages are handled.
95 2.0201 Fri, Jul 22, 2011
99 * Moose::Util::does_role shouldn't call ->does on things that don't inherit
102 * Make ->does initialize the metaclass, so that calling it as a class method
103 on a class which sets up inheritance via some method other than extends
104 works properly (this fixes an issue with MooseX::Types).
106 * Make Dist::CheckConflicts a runtime requirement, so moose-outdated always
109 2.0200 Mon, Jul 18, 2011
113 * No changes from 2.0105 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
115 2.0105-TRIAL Mon, Jun 27, 2011
119 * Moose::Util::does_role now respects overridden ->does methods. (doy)
121 2.0104-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
125 * Include changes from 2.0010.
127 2.0103-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
131 * Several things that have been deprecated for a while have been removed. See
132 the 2.0000 section in Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
136 * New Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::union function for creating union type
137 constraints without having to rely on the string type constraint parsing.
138 This also allows for creating unions of anonymous type constraints.
143 * Include changes from Moose 2.0009.
145 2.0102-TRIAL Sat, Jun 18, 2011
149 * The native Array trait now has a 'first_index' method, which works just
150 like the version in List::MoreUtils. (Karen Etheridge)
152 * Clean up some internal code to help out extensions.
156 * Include changes from Moose 2.0008.
158 2.0101-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
162 * Various packaging issues.
164 2.0100-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
168 * Using a hand-optimized type constraint is now deprecated. In keeping with
169 our release policy, this won't actually start warning until the 2.0200
174 * Type constraints can now provide inlined versions, which should make
175 inlined code which uses type constraints (such as accessors) faster. This
176 replaces the existing hand-optimized constraint feature. (Dave Rolsky)
180 * Remove a lot of cases where generated methods closed over meta objects.
181 Most simple cases should now only close over simple data types and
182 coderefs. This should make deparsing simpler.
184 2.0010 Mon, Jun 20, 2011
188 * Fix regression in 2.0009 and 2.0103 when applying roles during init_meta in
189 an exporter that also re-exports Moose or Moose::Role. (t0m, ilmari)
191 2.0009 Sun, Jun 19, 2011
195 * duck_type type constraints now report reasonable errors when given
196 something which isn't an instance of an object. (t0m)
198 * Moose::Util::apply_all_roles now works even if the applicant is a non-Moose
201 * When an object is reblessed, triggers are called on attributes that are
202 set during the reblessing. (Karen Etheridge).
206 * Better error message if Moose->init_meta is called with a 'metaclass'
207 option when that metaclass hasn't been loaded. (jasonmay)
209 2.0008 Thu, Jun 16, 2011
213 * The 'accessor' native delegation for hashrefs now allows setting the value
214 to undef. (sugoik, doy)
218 * Various generated methods have more useful context information. (doy)
220 2.0007 Sun, May 15, 2011
224 * Make sure weak attributes remain weak when cloning. (doy, rafl)
226 2.0006 Mon, May 09, 2011
230 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
231 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
233 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
237 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
239 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
243 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
245 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
246 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
248 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
252 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
253 skips every other role. (rjbs)
255 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
256 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
257 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
258 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
259 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
261 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
265 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
266 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
267 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
270 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
275 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
277 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
278 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
280 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
284 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
285 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
286 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
290 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
291 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
293 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
294 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
296 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
297 environments. (doy, mateu)
299 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
303 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
304 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
305 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
306 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
310 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
311 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
313 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
317 * Update conflicts list.
320 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
324 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
325 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
326 details. (Dave Rolsky)
328 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
329 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
330 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
331 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
332 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
336 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
337 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
338 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
339 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
340 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
343 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
347 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
348 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
350 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
353 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
357 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
358 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
359 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
360 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
362 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
363 immutable classes). (mo)
365 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
366 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
367 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
369 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
373 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
375 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
377 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
381 * Fix some indexing issues.
383 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
385 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
389 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
390 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
391 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
392 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
393 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
395 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
396 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
401 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
402 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
403 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
404 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
406 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
407 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
408 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
412 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
413 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
416 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
420 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
421 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
425 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
429 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
430 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
431 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
432 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
435 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
439 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
442 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
446 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
447 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
448 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
451 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
455 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
456 policy. (Chris Prather)
458 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
459 on this new support policy. (doy)
463 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
464 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
465 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
467 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
468 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
470 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
474 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
475 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
476 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
477 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
480 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
484 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
485 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
488 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
492 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
493 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
495 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
496 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
500 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
501 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
502 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
503 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
504 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
505 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
507 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
508 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
510 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
511 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
512 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
513 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
515 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
516 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
518 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
523 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
524 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
526 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
530 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
531 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
532 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
534 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
538 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
539 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
540 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
542 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
543 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
546 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
547 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
550 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
551 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
552 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
554 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
555 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
560 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
561 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
562 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
563 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
565 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
566 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
568 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
569 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
571 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
572 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
573 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
574 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
576 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
577 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
578 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
581 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
582 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
583 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
584 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
586 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
587 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
590 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
591 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
592 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
594 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
598 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
599 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
600 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
602 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
603 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
604 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
607 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
608 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
609 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
611 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
612 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
613 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
615 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
616 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
620 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
621 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
622 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
624 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
625 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
626 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
627 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
629 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
633 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
634 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
635 value is a reference.
637 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
638 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
640 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
644 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
645 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
646 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
648 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
652 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
653 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
657 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
658 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
659 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
661 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
662 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
663 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
665 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
669 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
671 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
675 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
677 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
678 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
683 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
684 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
686 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
687 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
688 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
689 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
690 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
692 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
693 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
694 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
695 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
697 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
701 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
702 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
707 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
709 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
711 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
716 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
718 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
722 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
723 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
724 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
726 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
727 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
728 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
729 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
731 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
732 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
733 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
734 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
735 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
738 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
743 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
744 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
745 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
746 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
747 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
750 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
754 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
757 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
758 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
762 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
763 function (not just method). (doy)
767 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
768 and aren't easily installable/testable.
770 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
774 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
775 to be overridden more easily (doy).
777 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
781 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
782 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
784 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
788 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
789 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
790 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
792 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
796 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
797 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
798 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
800 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
801 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
805 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
806 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
808 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
809 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
813 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
814 is applied to a class (t0m).
816 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
817 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
819 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
822 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
823 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
825 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
826 be much more robust. (doy)
828 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
830 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
833 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
837 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
838 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
840 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
844 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
845 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
847 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
850 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
851 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
852 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
854 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
855 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
856 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
859 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
861 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
865 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
866 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
870 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
872 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
876 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
877 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
881 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
882 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
886 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
888 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
892 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
893 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
897 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
898 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
902 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
903 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
905 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
909 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
910 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
911 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
914 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
918 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
919 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
920 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
921 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
923 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
927 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
928 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
929 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
933 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
936 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
940 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
941 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
942 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
946 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
947 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
949 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
950 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
951 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
952 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
954 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
958 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
962 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
963 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
965 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
966 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
967 - Moose::Util::does_role
968 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
969 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
970 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
972 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
976 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
977 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
978 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
981 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
985 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
986 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
989 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
993 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
994 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
997 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
1001 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
1003 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
1004 class. (Dave Rolsky).
1006 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
1007 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
1008 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
1010 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
1011 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
1012 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
1015 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
1016 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1018 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
1019 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
1020 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
1022 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
1024 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
1025 substr et al, again. (sorear)
1027 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
1029 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
1032 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
1033 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
1035 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
1036 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
1038 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
1039 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
1040 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
1041 dependencies installed.
1043 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
1044 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
1047 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
1049 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
1053 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1055 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1056 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
1057 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
1059 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1060 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
1061 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
1063 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
1064 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
1067 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
1068 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
1069 others. (nothingmuch)
1071 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1072 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
1073 remove_accessors. (doy)
1075 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1076 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
1077 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
1079 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
1080 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
1082 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
1083 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1084 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
1085 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
1087 * Moose::Meta::Class
1088 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
1089 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
1091 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1092 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
1094 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
1096 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
1097 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
1100 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1101 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
1102 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
1103 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
1104 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
1106 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
1107 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
1108 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
1109 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
1110 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
1111 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
1112 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
1115 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
1116 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
1117 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
1118 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
1119 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
1121 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
1122 which were not receiving the value of
1123 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
1124 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
1125 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
1126 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
1130 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
1131 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
1132 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
1133 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
1134 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
1137 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1138 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
1139 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
1140 - added tests for this (Stevan)
1142 * Moose::Meta::Class
1143 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
1144 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
1145 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
1148 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
1149 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1150 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
1152 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1153 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
1154 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
1157 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
1158 class if you pass it options for
1159 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
1160 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
1161 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
1162 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
1163 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
1164 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
1165 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
1166 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
1167 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
1169 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1170 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
1171 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
1172 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
1173 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
1176 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
1177 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1178 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
1179 existing delegation API. (hdp)
1181 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1182 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
1183 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
1184 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
1185 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
1186 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
1189 * Moose::Error::Croak
1190 * Moose::Error::Confess
1191 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
1192 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
1195 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
1198 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
1199 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
1200 installing a broken sub. (doy)
1202 * Moose::Meta::Class
1203 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
1206 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
1207 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1208 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
1210 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1211 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1212 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
1213 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
1214 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
1216 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1217 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
1220 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
1222 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1223 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1226 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1227 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1229 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1230 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1231 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1232 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1234 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1235 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1236 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1237 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1238 using it for new code!
1240 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1241 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1242 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1243 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1245 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1246 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1247 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1248 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1249 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1250 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1251 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1252 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1255 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1258 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1259 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1262 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1263 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1265 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1266 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1267 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1269 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1270 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1271 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1272 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1274 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1275 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1276 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1278 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1279 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1280 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1283 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1284 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1285 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1286 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1287 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1288 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1290 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1292 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1295 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1296 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1297 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1299 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1300 associated_methods. (hdp)
1301 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1302 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1303 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1304 misspelled) arguments
1306 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1307 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1308 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1309 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1311 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1312 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1313 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1315 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1318 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1319 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1320 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1323 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1324 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1326 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1327 * Moose::Meta::Class
1328 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1329 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1331 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1332 * Moose::Manual::Types
1333 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1334 string parsing rathole (mst)
1336 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1337 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1338 using plain objects instead
1340 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1341 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1342 that's what we need.
1344 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1345 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1346 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1347 three times today (perigrin)
1348 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1349 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1351 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1352 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1353 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1354 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1357 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1358 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1359 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1360 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1361 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1362 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1365 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1366 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1367 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1368 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1371 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1373 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1376 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1378 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1381 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1382 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1383 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1387 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1388 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1391 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1392 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1394 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1395 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1396 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1398 * Moose::Unsweetened
1399 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1401 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1402 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1405 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1409 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1410 methods during global destruction (doy)
1412 * Moose::Meta::Class
1413 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1414 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1415 consumption (Sartak)
1417 * Moose::Meta::Class
1418 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1419 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1422 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1423 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1426 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1427 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1429 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1431 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1435 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1436 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1437 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1440 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1441 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1442 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1445 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1447 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1448 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1449 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1452 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1453 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1454 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1455 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1457 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1458 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1459 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1462 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1465 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1466 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1467 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1471 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1472 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1474 * Moose::Meta::Class
1475 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1477 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1479 * Moose::Meta::Class
1480 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1481 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1484 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1485 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1488 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1489 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1492 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1495 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1497 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1498 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1501 * Moose::Meta::Class
1502 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1504 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1505 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1508 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1509 * More deprecations and renamings
1510 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1511 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1512 when an object is constructed)
1515 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1516 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1517 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1519 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1520 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1521 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1522 feature, and it works again.
1525 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1527 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1529 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1530 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1531 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1533 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1534 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1535 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1536 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1537 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1539 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1540 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1541 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1542 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1543 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1546 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1547 metaclass object. (hdp)
1549 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1550 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1551 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1552 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1553 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1554 point out this fact. (hdp)
1556 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1557 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1559 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1560 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1562 * Moose::Meta::Class
1563 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1564 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1565 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1566 called during instance construction were passed the
1567 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1568 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1570 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1571 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1574 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1575 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1576 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1579 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1580 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1581 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1582 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1583 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1585 - Moose::Meta::Class
1586 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1588 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1589 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1590 when an object is constructed)
1591 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1593 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1594 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1595 when an object is constructed)
1596 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1597 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1598 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1601 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1603 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1604 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1606 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1608 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1609 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1610 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1612 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1613 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1614 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1616 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1618 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1619 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1621 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1622 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1625 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1626 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1629 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1630 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1631 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1633 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1634 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1638 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1639 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1640 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1642 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1643 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1646 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1647 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1648 with recommended workarounds.
1650 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1651 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1653 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1654 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1655 (yes, spelled like that).
1657 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1658 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1660 * Moose::Meta::Class
1661 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1662 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1664 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1666 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1667 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1668 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1669 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1670 instead. Reported by doy.
1672 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1674 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1675 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1677 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1678 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1679 message) is now deprecated.
1680 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1681 often got it wrong. For example:
1683 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1685 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1689 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1690 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1691 bite you in weird cases.
1693 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1694 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1695 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1696 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1698 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1699 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1703 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1706 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1707 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1710 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1711 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1713 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1714 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1717 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1718 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1719 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1720 - added tests for this (stevan)
1722 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1723 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1724 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1725 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1729 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1730 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1731 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1732 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1734 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1735 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1736 - added tests for this (rafl)
1738 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1739 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1740 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1741 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1745 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1746 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1749 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1750 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1751 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1753 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1755 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1756 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1758 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1759 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1760 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1761 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1762 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1764 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1765 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1766 error message did not specify the attribute name
1769 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1771 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1773 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1774 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1775 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1777 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1778 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1781 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1783 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1784 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1785 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1786 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1788 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1790 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1791 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1792 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1793 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1795 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1796 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1797 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1799 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1800 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1801 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1802 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1803 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1805 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1806 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1807 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1808 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1809 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1811 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1812 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1813 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1814 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1815 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1816 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1818 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1819 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1820 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1821 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1822 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1823 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1825 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1826 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1828 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1829 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1830 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1831 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1833 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1834 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1837 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1841 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1842 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1844 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1845 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1846 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1847 guts. (nothingmuch).
1849 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1850 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1851 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1853 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1854 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1855 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1856 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1858 * Moose::Meta::Class
1859 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1862 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1863 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1865 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1866 * Moose::Unsweetened
1867 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1870 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1871 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1872 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1873 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1874 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1875 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1877 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1878 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1879 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1880 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1881 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1882 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1883 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1884 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1885 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1886 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1888 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1890 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1891 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1893 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1894 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1895 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1896 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1898 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1899 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1900 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1901 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1902 same methods for a single role did not work
1903 right (worked just fine with multiple
1905 - added test for this (stevan)
1907 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1908 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1909 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1912 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1913 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1914 - added test for this (t0m)
1917 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1918 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1919 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1921 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1922 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1923 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1924 - added test for this (t0m)
1926 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1927 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1928 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1929 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1930 - added test for this (perigrin)
1933 - create method for constructing a role
1934 dynamically (Sartak)
1935 - added test for this (Sartak)
1936 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1937 - added test for this (Sartak)
1940 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1942 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1943 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1944 methods is useful (Sartak)
1946 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1947 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1948 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1951 * Moose::Meta::Class
1952 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1953 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1954 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1955 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1956 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1957 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1960 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1961 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1963 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1964 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1965 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1966 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1967 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1969 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1971 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1972 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1973 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1976 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1977 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1978 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1979 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1980 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1981 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1984 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1985 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1986 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1987 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1988 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1989 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1990 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1991 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1992 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1993 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1994 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1996 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1997 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
2000 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2001 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
2002 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
2003 type. (jnapiorkowski)
2004 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2006 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
2008 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
2009 predicate, and link to more details sections in
2010 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
2012 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2013 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
2015 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2016 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
2017 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
2018 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2021 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
2022 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
2024 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
2026 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
2027 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
2029 * Moose::Meta::Class
2030 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
2031 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
2032 a required attribute
2034 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
2035 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
2036 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
2037 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
2039 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2040 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
2042 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2043 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
2044 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
2045 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
2046 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
2047 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
2048 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
2049 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
2051 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
2052 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
2053 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
2055 * Roles and role application
2056 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
2057 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
2058 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
2059 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
2060 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
2062 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
2063 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
2066 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
2067 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
2068 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
2069 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
2070 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
2073 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
2074 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
2075 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
2076 changes in the Moose internals.
2078 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
2079 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2080 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
2083 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2084 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
2085 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
2086 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
2088 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2089 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
2090 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
2091 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
2093 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2094 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
2095 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
2096 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
2097 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
2098 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
2099 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
2100 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
2101 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
2102 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
2103 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
2104 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
2105 constraint implementations.
2107 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
2111 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
2112 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
2113 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
2114 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
2115 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
2116 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
2117 - added tests for this (rafl)
2119 * Moose::Meta::Class
2120 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
2121 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
2122 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
2123 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
2124 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
2125 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
2126 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
2127 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
2130 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
2131 - added tests for this (thepler)
2133 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2134 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
2135 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
2136 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
2139 * Moose::Meta::Class
2140 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2141 * Moose::Meta::Method
2144 * Moose::Error::Default
2145 * Moose::Error::Croak
2146 * Moose::Error::Confess
2147 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
2148 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
2149 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
2150 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
2151 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
2152 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
2154 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
2156 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
2157 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
2159 * Moose::Unsweetened
2160 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
2161 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
2162 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
2164 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2165 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
2166 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
2167 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
2168 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2171 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
2172 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
2174 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
2175 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
2176 several major changes in this release of Moose.
2177 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the

2217 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
2219 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2220 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
2223 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2224 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
2225 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
2226 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
2227 coincidental exception. (t0m).
2228 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2230 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2231 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
2233 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2235 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
2236 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
2240 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
2241 method when that method was provided by another role being
2242 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
2243 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
2245 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008

2252 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
2253 - added test for this (t0m)
2255 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2256 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
2257 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
2259 - added test for this (t0m)
2262 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
2263 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
2264 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
2267 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
2268 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
2270 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
2272 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
2273 easier (Dave Rolsky)
2275 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2276 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
2277 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
2279 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2280 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
2283 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1

2286 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
2290 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
2291 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
2292 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)

2296 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
2297 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
2298 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
2301 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
2305 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash

2307 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
2309 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
2310 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2311 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
2312 created so that the process can be more easily

2347 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
2348 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
2350 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2351 ... this is not my day today ...
2353 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2354 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2355 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2356 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2357 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2360 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2361 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2362 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2363 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2364 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2367 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2369 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2370 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
2371 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
2372 this is not ever something you want to do
2373 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
2374 - added tests for this (stevan)
2377 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
2379 - added test for this

2388 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
2390 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
2391 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
2392 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
2395 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
2397 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
2399 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
2402 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2403 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2404 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2405 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2406 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2407 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2408 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2409 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2410 - added tests for this
2412 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2413 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
2414 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
2415 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by

2486 which was causing the indexer to choke
2488 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2489 (late night release engineering)--
2491 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
2492 changes in this release

2505 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
2508 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2509 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
2510 method for immutablization to check if the
2511 destructor object even needs to be created
2514 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2515 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2516 - added more descriptive error message to help
2517 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
2518 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
2520 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
2522 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
2523 XS based functionality is now optional
2524 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2525 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2526 can now be used to force non-XS versions
2528 - several of the packages have been tweaked
2529 to take care of this, mostly we added
2530 support for the package_name and name
2531 variables in all the Method metaclasses
2532 - before/around/after method modifiers now
2533 support regexp matching of names
2534 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2535 - tests added for this
2536 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
2537 is currently not supported in roles,
2538 but, ... patches welcome
2539 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2540 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2541 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2544 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2545 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2546 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2547 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
2548 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
2549 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
2550 - added test for this
2552 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2553 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
2554 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
2557 * Moose::Meta::Class
2558 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
2562 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
2564 - added tests for this
2565 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
2566 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2568 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2569 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
2570 themselves parameterizable types

2574 called by the inlined immutable
2576 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
2578 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
2579 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
2580 (if possible) to create the anon-class
2581 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)

2596 show where the error is (thanks mst)
2599 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
2600 ->body when looping through the
2601 methods, to avoid the overloaded
2603 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
2604 eating the $@ values, and so not
2605 working correctly, it still kind of
2606 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
2607 - added tests for this
2609 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
2610 - added new recipe for immutable
2611 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2613 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe9

2629 drink more coffee before
2630 doing release engineering
2632 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
2633 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr

2666 - added test for this
2668 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor

2747 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2749 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

2789 from a role, it works and makes sense too.
2791 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2792 - fix handles so that it doesn't return nothing
2793 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
2794 it ever did this originally, this means we now
2795 have slightly better support for AUTOLOADed
2797 - added more delegation tests
2798 - adding ->does method to this so as to better
2799 support traits and their introspection.
2800 - added tests for this

3040 - added tests for this
3043 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
3044 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

3086 - fixed how required methods are handled
3087 when they encounter overriden or modified
3088 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
3089 - added tests for this
3091 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint

3099 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
3102 * Parameterized Types
3103 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
3104 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
3105 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
3106 They can also be nested:
3107 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
3108 And work with the type unions as well:
3109 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
3111 * Better Framework Extendability
3112 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
3113 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
3114 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
3115 section of the Moose.pm docs.
3118 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
3119 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
3120 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
3121 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
3124 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
3126 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
3127 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)

3355 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3356 so that you can actually document your
3357 attributes and inspect them through the
3359 - added tests and docs for this
3361 * Moose::Meta::Class
3362 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3363 it will first look in for the class in the
3364 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3365 then default to just loading $name.
3366 - added tests and docs for this
3368 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3369 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3370 - added test for this
3373 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh

3375 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3376 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3378 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3379 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3382 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3384 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3385 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3386 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3389 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3390 !! for this developer release to work !!
3392 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3393 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3394 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3395 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3396 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3397 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3398 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3399 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3400 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3401 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3402 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3404 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3405 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3406 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3407 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3410 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3411 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3412 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3413 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3414 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3416 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3418 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3419 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3422 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3423 called unless they actually need to be.
3424 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3425 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3426 DEMOLISH method present.
3428 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3429 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3430 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3431 type constraint, which allows for a
3432 hand optimized version of the type
3433 constraint to be used when possible.
3434 - Any internally created type constraints
3435 now provide an optimized version as well.
3437 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3439 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3440 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3441 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3443 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3444 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3445 your class namespace of these exported
3448 * Moose::Meta::Class
3449 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3450 comes up during global destruction
3452 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3456 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3459 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3460 - changed how we do type checks so that
3461 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3464 - moved accessor generation methods to
3465 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3466 conform to the API changes from
3469 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3470 - changed how constraints are compiled
3471 so that we do less recursion and more
3472 iteration. This makes the type check
3474 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3477 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3478 - created this from methods formerly found in
3479 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3481 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3482 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3484 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3485 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3487 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3488 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3490 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3492 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3493 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3494 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3495 - added tests for this
3496 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3497 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3498 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3499 - removed tests for this
3501 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3503 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3504 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3505 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3508 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3509 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3510 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3512 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3513 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3514 comments for more info.
3517 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3518 asked questions and common problems
3520 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3521 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3522 - added tests for this
3524 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3525 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3526 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3527 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3529 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3530 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3533 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3534 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3535 is much appreciated :)
3536 - added tests for this
3538 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3539 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3540 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3543 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3544 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3546 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3548 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3549 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3553 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3554 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3555 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3557 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3559 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3562 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3563 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3564 keywords because we need to localize them.
3565 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3567 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3568 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3569 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3572 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3575 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3576 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3577 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3580 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3581 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3582 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3584 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3586 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3587 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3588 bottom of your class file.
3591 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3594 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3596 - improved error message when loading modules so
3597 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3598 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3599 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3602 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3603 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3604 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3606 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3607 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3609 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3610 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3611 turn them on for you.
3612 - added tests for this
3613 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3614 in Moose::Meta::Class
3617 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
3618 automatically turned on for you.

3640 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
3641 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3642 - This release works in combination with
3643 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3644 release because it uses the a new
3645 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3646 complete Role implementation. It has
3647 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3648 the the previous CPAN version. This
3649 release also lacks good updated docs,
3650 the official release will have updated docs.
3653 - refactored the keyword exports
3654 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3655 accepts more than one Role at a time
3656 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3657 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3660 - refactored the keyword exports
3661 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3662 accepts more than one Role at a time
3664 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3665 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3666 string enumerations which can be used as
3668 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3671 - more careful checking of params to new()
3674 - much work done on the role composition
3675 - many new tests for conflict detection
3676 and composition edge cases
3677 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3678 looking at the tests
3680 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3681 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3682 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3684 * Moose::Meta::Class
3685 - some small changes to support the new
3687 - some small additions to support Roles
3689 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3690 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3692 - some small changes to support the new
3694 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3695 with the 'handles' option
3696 - added several tests for this
3697 - no docs for this yet
3699 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
3701 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3702 thanks to chansen for this commit
3703 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3704 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3705 on a per-attribute basis
3706 - added tests for this
3707 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3708 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3709 experimental feature and probably not finished
