1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
6 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
10 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
11 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
12 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
16 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
17 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
19 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
20 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
22 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
23 environments. (doy, mateu)
25 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
29 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
30 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
31 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
32 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
36 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
37 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
39 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
43 * Update conflicts list.
46 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
50 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
51 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
52 details. (Dave Rolsky)
54 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
55 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
56 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
57 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
58 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
62 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
63 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
64 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
65 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
66 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
69 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
73 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
74 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
76 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
79 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
83 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
84 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
85 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
86 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
88 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
89 immutable classes). (mo)
91 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
92 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
93 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
95 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
99 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
101 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
103 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
107 * Fix some indexing issues.
109 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
111 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
115 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
116 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
117 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
118 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
119 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
121 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
122 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
127 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
128 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
129 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
130 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
132 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
133 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
134 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
138 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
139 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
142 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
146 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
147 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
151 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
155 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
156 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
157 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
158 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
161 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
165 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
168 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
172 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
173 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
174 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
177 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
181 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
182 policy. (Chris Prather)
184 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
185 on this new support policy. (doy)
189 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
190 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
191 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
193 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
194 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
196 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
200 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
201 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
202 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
203 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
206 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
210 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
211 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
214 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
218 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
219 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
221 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
222 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
226 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
227 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
228 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
229 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
230 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
231 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
233 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
234 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
236 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
237 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
238 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
239 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
241 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
242 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
244 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
249 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
250 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
252 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
256 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
257 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
258 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
260 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
264 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
265 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
266 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
268 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
269 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
272 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
273 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
276 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
277 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
278 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
280 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
281 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
286 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
287 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
288 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
289 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
291 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
292 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
294 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
295 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
297 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
298 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
299 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
300 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
302 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
303 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
304 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
307 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
308 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
309 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
310 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
312 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
313 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
316 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
317 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
318 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
320 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
324 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
325 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
326 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
328 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
329 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
330 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
333 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
334 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
335 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
337 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
338 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
339 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
341 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
342 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
346 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
347 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
348 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
350 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
351 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
352 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
353 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
355 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
359 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
360 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
361 value is a reference.
363 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
364 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
366 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
370 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
371 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
372 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
374 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
378 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
379 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
383 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
384 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
385 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
387 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
388 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
389 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
391 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
395 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
397 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
401 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
403 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
404 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
409 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
410 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
412 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
413 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
414 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
415 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
416 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
418 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
419 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
420 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
421 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
423 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
427 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
428 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
433 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
435 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
437 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
442 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
444 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
448 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
449 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
450 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
452 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
453 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
454 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
455 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
457 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
458 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
459 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
460 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
461 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
464 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
469 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
470 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
471 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
472 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
473 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
476 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
480 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
483 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
484 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
488 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
489 function (not just method). (doy)
493 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
494 and aren't easily installable/testable.
496 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
500 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
501 to be overridden more easily (doy).
503 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
507 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
508 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
510 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
514 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
515 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
516 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
518 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
522 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
523 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
524 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
526 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
527 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
531 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
532 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
534 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
535 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
539 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
540 is applied to a class (t0m).
542 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
543 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
545 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
548 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
549 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
551 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
552 be much more robust. (doy)
554 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
556 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
559 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
563 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
564 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
566 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
570 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
571 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
573 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
576 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
577 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
578 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
580 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
581 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
582 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
585 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
587 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
591 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
592 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
596 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
598 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
602 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
603 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
607 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
608 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
612 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
614 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
618 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
619 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
623 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
624 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
628 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
629 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
631 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
635 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
636 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
637 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
640 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
644 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
645 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
646 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
647 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
649 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
653 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
654 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
655 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
659 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
662 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
666 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
667 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
668 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
672 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
673 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
675 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
676 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
677 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
678 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
680 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
684 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
688 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
689 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
691 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
692 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
693 - Moose::Util::does_role
694 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
695 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
696 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
698 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
702 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
703 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
704 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
707 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
711 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
712 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
715 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
719 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
720 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
723 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
727 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
729 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
730 class. (Dave Rolsky).
732 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
733 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
734 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
736 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
737 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
738 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
741 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
742 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
744 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
745 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
746 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
748 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
750 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
751 substr et al, again. (sorear)
753 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
755 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
758 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
759 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
761 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
762 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
764 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
765 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
766 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
767 dependencies installed.
769 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
770 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)

775 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
779 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
781 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
782 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
783 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
785 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
786 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
787 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
789 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
790 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
793 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
794 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
795 others. (nothingmuch)
797 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
798 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
799 remove_accessors. (doy)
801 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
802 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
803 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
805 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
806 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
808 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
809 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
810 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
811 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
814 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
815 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
817 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
818 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
820 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
822 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
823 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
826 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
827 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
828 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
829 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
830 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
832 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
833 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
834 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
835 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
836 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
837 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
838 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
841 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
842 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
843 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
844 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
845 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
847 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
848 which were not receiving the value of
849 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
850 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
851 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
852 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
856 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
857 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
858 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
859 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
860 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
863 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
864 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
865 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
866 - added tests for this (Stevan)
869 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
870 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
871 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
874 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
875 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
876 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
878 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
879 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
880 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
883 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
884 class if you pass it options for
885 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
886 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
887 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
888 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
889 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
890 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
891 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
892 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
893 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
895 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
896 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
897 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
898 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
899 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
902 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
903 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
904 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
905 existing delegation API. (hdp)
907 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
908 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
909 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
910 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
911 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
912 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
915 * Moose::Error::Croak
916 * Moose::Error::Confess
917 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
918 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
921 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
924 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
925 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
926 installing a broken sub. (doy)
929 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
932 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
933 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
934 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
936 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
937 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
938 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
939 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
940 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
942 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
943 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
946 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
948 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
949 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
952 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
953 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
955 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
956 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
957 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
958 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
960 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
961 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
962 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
963 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
964 using it for new code!
966 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
967 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
968 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
969 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
971 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
972 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
973 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
974 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
975 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
976 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
977 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
978 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
981 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
984 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
985 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
988 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
989 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
991 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
992 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
993 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
996 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
997 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
998 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1000 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1001 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1002 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1004 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1005 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1006 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1009 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1010 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1011 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1012 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1013 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1014 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1016 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1018 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1021 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1022 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1023 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1025 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1026 associated_methods. (hdp)
1027 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1028 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1029 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1030 misspelled) arguments
1032 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1033 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1034 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1035 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1037 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1038 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1039 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1041 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1044 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1045 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1046 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1049 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1050 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1052 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1053 * Moose::Meta::Class
1054 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1055 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1057 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1058 * Moose::Manual::Types
1059 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1060 string parsing rathole (mst)
1062 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1063 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1064 using plain objects instead
1066 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1067 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1068 that's what we need.
1070 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1071 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1072 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1073 three times today (perigrin)
1074 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1075 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1077 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1078 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1079 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1080 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1083 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1084 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1085 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1086 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1087 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1088 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1091 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1092 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1093 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1094 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1097 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1099 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1102 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1104 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1107 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1108 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1109 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1113 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1114 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1117 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1118 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1120 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1121 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1122 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1124 * Moose::Unsweetened
1125 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1127 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1128 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1131 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1135 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1136 methods during global destruction (doy)
1138 * Moose::Meta::Class
1139 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1140 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1141 consumption (Sartak)
1143 * Moose::Meta::Class
1144 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1145 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1148 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1149 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1152 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1153 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1155 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1157 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1161 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1162 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1163 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1166 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1167 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1168 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1171 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1173 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1174 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1175 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1178 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1179 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1180 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1181 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1183 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1184 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1185 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1188 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1191 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1192 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1193 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1197 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1198 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1200 * Moose::Meta::Class
1201 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1203 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1205 * Moose::Meta::Class
1206 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1207 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1210 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1211 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1214 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1215 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1218 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1221 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1223 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1224 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1227 * Moose::Meta::Class
1228 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1230 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1231 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1234 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1235 * More deprecations and renamings
1236 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1237 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1238 when an object is constructed)
1241 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1242 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1243 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1245 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1246 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1247 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1248 feature, and it works again.
1251 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1253 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1255 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1256 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1257 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1259 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1260 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1261 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1262 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1263 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1265 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1266 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1267 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1268 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1269 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1272 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1273 metaclass object. (hdp)
1275 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1276 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1277 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1278 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1279 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1280 point out this fact. (hdp)
1282 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1283 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1285 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1286 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1288 * Moose::Meta::Class
1289 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1290 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1291 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1292 called during instance construction were passed the
1293 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1294 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1296 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1297 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1300 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1301 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1302 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1305 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1306 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1307 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1308 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1309 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1311 - Moose::Meta::Class
1312 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1314 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1315 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1316 when an object is constructed)
1317 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1319 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1320 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1321 when an object is constructed)
1322 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1323 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1324 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1327 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1329 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1330 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1332 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1334 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1335 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1336 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1338 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1339 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1340 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1342 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1344 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1345 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1347 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1348 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1351 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1352 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1355 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1356 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1357 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1359 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1360 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1364 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1365 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1366 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1368 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1369 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1372 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1373 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1374 with recommended workarounds.
1376 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1377 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1379 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1380 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1381 (yes, spelled like that).
1383 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1384 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1386 * Moose::Meta::Class
1387 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1388 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1390 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1392 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1393 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1394 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1395 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1396 instead. Reported by doy.
1398 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1400 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1401 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1403 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1404 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1405 message) is now deprecated.
1406 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1407 often got it wrong. For example:
1409 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1411 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1415 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1416 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1417 bite you in weird cases.
1419 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1420 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1421 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1422 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1424 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1425 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1429 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1432 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1433 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1436 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1437 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1439 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1440 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1443 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1444 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1445 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1446 - added tests for this (stevan)
1448 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1449 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1450 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1451 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1455 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1456 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1457 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1458 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1460 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1461 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1462 - added tests for this (rafl)
1464 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1465 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1466 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1467 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1471 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1472 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1475 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1476 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1477 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1479 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1481 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1482 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1484 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1485 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1486 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1487 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1488 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1490 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1491 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1492 error message did not specify the attribute name
1495 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1497 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1499 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1500 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1501 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1503 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1504 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1507 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1509 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1510 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1511 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1512 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1514 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1516 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1517 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1518 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1519 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1521 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1522 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1523 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1525 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1526 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1527 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1528 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1529 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1531 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1532 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1533 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1534 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1535 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1537 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1538 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1539 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1540 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1541 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1542 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1544 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1545 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1546 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1547 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1548 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1549 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1551 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1552 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1554 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1555 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1556 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1557 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1559 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1560 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1563 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1567 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1568 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1570 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1571 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1572 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1573 guts. (nothingmuch).
1575 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1576 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1577 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1579 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1580 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1581 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1582 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1584 * Moose::Meta::Class
1585 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1588 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1589 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1591 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1592 * Moose::Unsweetened
1593 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1596 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1597 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1598 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1599 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1600 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1601 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1603 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1604 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1605 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1606 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1607 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1608 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1609 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1610 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1611 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1612 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1614 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1616 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1617 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1619 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1620 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1621 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1622 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1624 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1625 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1626 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1627 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1628 same methods for a single role did not work
1629 right (worked just fine with multiple
1631 - added test for this (stevan)
1633 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1634 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1635 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1638 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1639 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1640 - added test for this (t0m)
1643 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1644 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1645 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1647 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1648 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1649 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1650 - added test for this (t0m)
1652 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1653 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1654 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1655 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1656 - added test for this (perigrin)
1659 - create method for constructing a role
1660 dynamically (Sartak)
1661 - added test for this (Sartak)
1662 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1663 - added test for this (Sartak)
1666 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1668 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1669 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1670 methods is useful (Sartak)
1672 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1673 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1674 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1677 * Moose::Meta::Class
1678 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1679 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1680 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1681 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1682 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1683 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1686 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1687 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1689 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1690 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1691 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1692 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1693 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1695 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1697 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1698 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1699 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1702 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1703 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1704 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1705 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1706 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1707 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1710 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1711 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1712 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1713 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1714 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1715 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1716 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1717 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1718 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1719 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1720 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1722 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1723 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1726 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1727 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1728 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1729 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1730 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1732 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1734 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1735 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1736 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1738 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1739 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1741 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1742 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1743 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1744 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1747 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1748 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1750 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1752 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1753 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1755 * Moose::Meta::Class
1756 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1757 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1758 a required attribute
1760 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1761 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1762 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1763 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1765 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1766 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1768 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1769 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1770 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1771 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1772 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1773 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1774 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1775 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1777 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1778 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1779 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1781 * Roles and role application
1782 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1783 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1784 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1785 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1786 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1788 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1789 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1792 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1793 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1794 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1795 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1796 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1799 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1800 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1801 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1802 changes in the Moose internals.
1804 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1805 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1806 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1809 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1810 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1811 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1812 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1814 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1815 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1816 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1817 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1819 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1820 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1821 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1822 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1823 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1824 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1825 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1826 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1827 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1828 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1829 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1830 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1831 constraint implementations.
1833 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1837 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1838 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1839 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1840 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1841 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1842 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1843 - added tests for this (rafl)
1845 * Moose::Meta::Class
1846 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1847 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1848 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1849 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1850 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1851 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1852 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1853 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1856 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1857 - added tests for this (thepler)
1859 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1860 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1861 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1862 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1865 * Moose::Meta::Class
1866 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1867 * Moose::Meta::Method
1870 * Moose::Error::Default
1871 * Moose::Error::Croak
1872 * Moose::Error::Confess
1873 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1874 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1875 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1876 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1877 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1878 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1880 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1882 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1883 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1885 * Moose::Unsweetened
1886 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1887 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1888 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1890 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1891 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1892 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1893 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1894 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1897 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1898 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1900 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1901 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1902 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1903 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1906 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1908 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1909 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1911 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1914 - Various bug fixes.
1916 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1917 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1919 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1921 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1922 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1923 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1924 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1925 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1926 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1928 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1929 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1930 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1932 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1933 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1934 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1937 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1938 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1939 dependency to 0.64_07.
1941 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1942 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1943 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1945 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1946 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1949 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1950 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1951 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1952 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1953 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1954 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1956 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1957 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1959 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1961 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1962 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1966 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1967 method when that method was provided by another role being
1968 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1969 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1971 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1973 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1974 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1976 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1977 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1978 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1979 - added test for this (t0m)
1981 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1982 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1983 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1985 - added test for this (t0m)
1988 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1989 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1990 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1993 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1994 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1996 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1998 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1999 easier (Dave Rolsky)
2001 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2002 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
2003 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
2005 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2006 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
2009 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2010 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2011 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
2012 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
2016 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
2017 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
2018 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
2021 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
2022 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
2023 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
2024 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
2027 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
2031 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
2032 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
2033 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
2035 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
2036 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2037 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
2038 created so that the process can be more easily
2039 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
2041 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2042 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
2043 the type constraints (RT #37569)
2044 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
2046 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints

2074 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
2076 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2077 ... this is not my day today ...
2079 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2080 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2081 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2082 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2083 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2086 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2087 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2088 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2089 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2090 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2093 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2095 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2096 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
2097 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
2098 this is not ever something you want to do
2099 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)

2125 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
2128 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2129 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2130 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2131 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2132 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2133 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2134 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2135 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2136 - added tests for this
2138 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2139 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to

2214 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2215 (late night release engineering)--
2217 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
2218 changes in this release

2242 - added more descriptive error message to help
2243 keep people from wasting time tracking an error

2246 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
2248 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
2249 XS based functionality is now optional
2250 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2251 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2252 can now be used to force non-XS versions

2355 drink more coffee before
2356 doing release engineering
2358 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,

2737 parameters. So "has '+foo' => (isa => 'ArrayRef[Int]')"
2738 now works if the original foo is an ArrayRef.
2739 - added tests for this.
2740 - delegation now works even if the attribute does not
2741 have a reader method using the get_read_method_ref
2742 method from Class::MOP::Attribute.
2743 - added tests for this
2744 - added docs for this
2746 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2747 - passing no "additional attribute info" to
2748 &find_or_create_type_constraint will no longer
2749 attempt to create an __ANON__ type for you,
2750 instead it will just return undef.
2751 - added docs for this
2753 0.30 Fri. Nov. 23, 2007
2754 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2755 -builder related bug in inlined constructor. (groditi)

2759 code generation for runtime speed (groditi)
2761 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2762 - fix ClassName constraint to introspect symbol table (mst)
2763 - added more tests for this (mst)
2764 - fixed it so that subtype 'Foo' => as 'HashRef[Int]' ...
2765 with work correctly.
2766 - added tests for this
2769 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2770 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code
2773 - New tests for builder bug. Upon instantiation, if an
2774 attribute had a builder, no value and was not lazy the
2775 builder default was not getting run, oops. (groditi)
2777 0.29 Tues. Nov. 13, 2007
2778 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2779 - Fix error message on missing builder method (groditi)
2781 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor

2786 builder method is missing (groditi)
2788 0.28 Tues. Nov. 13, 2007
2789 - 0.27 packaged incorrectly (groditi)
2791 0.27 Tues. Nov. 13, 2007
2792 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2793 - Added support for the new builder option (groditi)

2808 * fixing some misc. bits in the docs that
2809 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
2812 - fixed how required methods are handled
2813 when they encounter overriden or modified
2814 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2815 - added tests for this
2817 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2818 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2819 the | always creates a union and so is
2820 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2821 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2823 - added more tests for this
2825 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2828 * Parameterized Types
2829 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2830 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2831 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2832 They can also be nested:
2833 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2834 And work with the type unions as well:
2835 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2837 * Better Framework Extendability
2838 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2839 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2840 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2841 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2844 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2845 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2846 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2847 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2850 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2852 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
2853 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)

2912 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
2913 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2915 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union

2932 (thanks to shlomif).
2934 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2935 - required attributes now will no longer accept undef
2936 from the constructor, even if there is a default and lazy
2937 - added tests for this
2938 - default subroutines must return a value which passes the
2940 - added tests for this
2942 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2943 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor

2985 (but not changing the handles option)
2986 - added tests and docs for this
2989 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
2990 so that required methods can come from superclasses

2993 0.23 Mon. June 18, 2007
2994 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2995 - fix inlined constructor for hierarchy with multiple BUILD methods (mst)

3001 the other side (perigrin)
3003 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
3004 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3005 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3006 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
3007 prototypes for functions
3008 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
3009 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

3019 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
3022 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
3023 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
3024 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
3025 - added tests for this
3027 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
3029 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

3045 * Moose::Meta::Class
3046 - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
3047 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
3048 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
3050 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
3051 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
3053 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
3054 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
3055 so this release is just to fix that.
3058 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
3059 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
3060 (thanks to konobi for this)
3061 - added tests and docs
3063 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
3064 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
3066 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3067 - 'type' now supports messages as well
3068 thanks to phaylon for finding this
3069 - added tests for this
3070 - added &list_all_type_constraints and
3071 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
3072 functions to facilitate introspection.
3074 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3075 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
3076 to build the list of delegated methods
3077 correctly (and not override important
3078 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
3080 - added tests and docs for this
3081 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3082 so that you can actually document your
3083 attributes and inspect them through the
3085 - added tests and docs for this
3087 * Moose::Meta::Class
3088 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3089 it will first look in for the class in the
3090 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3091 then default to just loading $name.
3092 - added tests and docs for this
3094 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3095 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3096 - added test for this
3099 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
3100 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
3101 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3102 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3104 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3105 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3108 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3110 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3111 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3112 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3115 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3116 !! for this developer release to work !!
3118 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3119 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3120 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3121 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3122 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3123 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3124 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3125 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3126 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3127 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3128 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3130 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3131 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3132 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3133 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3136 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3137 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3138 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3139 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3140 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3142 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3144 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3145 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3148 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3149 called unless they actually need to be.
3150 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3151 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3152 DEMOLISH method present.
3154 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3155 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3156 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3157 type constraint, which allows for a
3158 hand optimized version of the type
3159 constraint to be used when possible.
3160 - Any internally created type constraints
3161 now provide an optimized version as well.
3163 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3165 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3166 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3167 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3169 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3170 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3171 your class namespace of these exported
3174 * Moose::Meta::Class
3175 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3176 comes up during global destruction
3178 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3182 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3185 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3186 - changed how we do type checks so that
3187 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3190 - moved accessor generation methods to
3191 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3192 conform to the API changes from
3195 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3196 - changed how constraints are compiled
3197 so that we do less recursion and more
3198 iteration. This makes the type check
3200 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3203 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3204 - created this from methods formerly found in
3205 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3207 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3208 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3210 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3211 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3213 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3214 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3216 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3218 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3219 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3220 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3221 - added tests for this
3222 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3223 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3224 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3225 - removed tests for this
3227 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3229 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3230 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3231 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3234 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3235 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3236 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3238 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3239 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3240 comments for more info.
3243 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3244 asked questions and common problems
3246 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3247 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3248 - added tests for this
3250 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3251 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3252 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3253 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3255 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3256 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3259 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3260 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3261 is much appreciated :)
3262 - added tests for this
3264 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3265 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3266 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3269 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3270 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3272 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3274 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3275 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3279 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3280 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3281 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3283 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3285 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3288 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3289 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3290 keywords because we need to localize them.
3291 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3293 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3294 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3295 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3298 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3301 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3302 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3303 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3306 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3307 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3308 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3310 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3312 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3313 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3314 bottom of your class file.
3317 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3320 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3322 - improved error message when loading modules so
3323 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3324 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3325 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3328 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3329 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3330 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3332 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3333 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3335 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3336 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3337 turn them on for you.
3338 - added tests for this
3339 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3340 in Moose::Meta::Class
3343 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
3344 automatically turned on for you.
3345 - added tests for this
3348 - now handles an edge case for override errors
3349 - added tests for this
3350 - added some more edge case tests
3352 0.09_02 Tues. May 16, 2006
3353 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3355 - added prototypes to the exported subs
3359 - added prototypes to the exported subs
3362 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3363 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
3366 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
3367 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3368 - This release works in combination with
3369 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3370 release because it uses the a new
3371 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3372 complete Role implementation. It has
3373 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3374 the the previous CPAN version. This
3375 release also lacks good updated docs,
3376 the official release will have updated docs.
3379 - refactored the keyword exports
3380 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3381 accepts more than one Role at a time
3382 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3383 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3386 - refactored the keyword exports
3387 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3388 accepts more than one Role at a time
3390 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3391 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3392 string enumerations which can be used as
3394 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3397 - more careful checking of params to new()
3400 - much work done on the role composition
3401 - many new tests for conflict detection
3402 and composition edge cases
3403 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3404 looking at the tests
3406 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3407 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3408 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3410 * Moose::Meta::Class
3411 - some small changes to support the new
3413 - some small additions to support Roles
3415 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3416 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3418 - some small changes to support the new
3420 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3421 with the 'handles' option
3422 - added several tests for this
3423 - no docs for this yet
3425 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
3427 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3428 thanks to chansen for this commit
3429 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3430 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3431 on a per-attribute basis
3432 - added tests for this
3433 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3434 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3435 experimental feature and probably not finished
3436 see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
3437 more details, or ask about it on #moose
3438 - added tests for this
3441 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter

3609 accepts strings, and will DWIM in
3612 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3613 - added type coercion features
3614 - added tests for this
3615 - added support for this in attributes
3616 and instance construction
3618 - type construction no longer creates a
