1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
6 2.0101 Mon, Jun 06, 2011
10 * Various packaging issues.
12 2.0100 Mon, Jun 06, 2011
16 * Using a hand-optimized type constraint is now deprecated. In keeping with
17 our release policy, this won't actually start warning until the 2.0200
22 * Type constraints can now provide inlined versions, which should make
23 inlined code which uses type constraints (such as accessors) faster. This
24 replaces the existing hand-optimized constraint feature. (Dave Rolsky)
28 * Remove a lot of cases where generated methods closed over meta objects.
29 Most simple cases should now only close over simple data types and
30 coderefs. This should make deparsing simpler.
32 2.0007 Sun, May 15, 2011
36 * Make sure weak attributes remain weak when cloning. (doy, rafl)
38 2.0006 Mon, May 09, 2011
42 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
43 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
45 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
49 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
51 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
55 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
57 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
58 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
60 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
64 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
65 skips every other role. (rjbs)
67 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
68 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
69 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
70 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
71 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
73 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
77 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
78 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
79 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
82 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
87 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
89 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
90 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
92 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
96 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
97 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
98 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
102 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
103 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
105 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
106 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
108 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
109 environments. (doy, mateu)
111 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
115 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
116 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
117 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
118 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
122 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
123 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
125 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
129 * Update conflicts list.
132 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
136 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
137 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
138 details. (Dave Rolsky)
140 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
141 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
142 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
143 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
144 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
148 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
149 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
150 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
151 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
152 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
155 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
159 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
160 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
162 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
165 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
169 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
170 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
171 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
172 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
174 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
175 immutable classes). (mo)
177 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
178 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
179 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
181 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
185 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
187 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
189 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
193 * Fix some indexing issues.
195 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
197 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
201 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
202 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
203 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
204 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
205 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
207 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
208 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
213 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
214 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
215 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
216 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
218 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
219 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
220 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
224 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
225 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
228 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
232 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
233 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
237 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
241 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
242 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
243 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
244 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
247 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
251 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
254 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
258 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
259 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
260 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
263 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
267 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
268 policy. (Chris Prather)
270 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
271 on this new support policy. (doy)
275 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
276 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
277 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
279 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
280 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
282 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
286 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
287 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
288 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
289 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
292 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
296 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
297 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
300 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
304 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
305 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
307 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
308 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
312 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
313 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
314 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
315 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
316 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
317 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
319 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
320 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
322 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
323 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
324 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
325 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
327 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
328 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
330 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
335 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
336 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
338 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
342 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
343 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
344 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
346 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
350 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
351 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
352 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
354 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
355 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
358 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
359 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
362 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
363 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
364 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
366 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
367 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
372 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
373 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
374 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
375 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
377 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
378 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
380 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
381 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
383 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
384 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
385 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
386 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
388 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
389 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
390 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
393 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
394 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
395 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
396 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
398 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
399 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
402 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
403 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
404 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
406 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
410 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
411 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
412 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
414 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
415 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
416 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
419 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
420 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
421 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
423 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
424 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
425 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
427 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
428 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
432 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
433 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
434 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
436 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
437 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
438 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
439 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
441 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
445 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
446 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
447 value is a reference.
449 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
450 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
452 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
456 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
457 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
458 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
460 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
464 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
465 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
469 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
470 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
471 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
473 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
474 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
475 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
477 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
481 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
483 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
487 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
489 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
490 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
495 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
496 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
498 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
499 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
500 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
501 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
502 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
504 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
505 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
506 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
507 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
509 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
513 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
514 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
519 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
521 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
523 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
528 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
530 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
534 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
535 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
536 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
538 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
539 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
540 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
541 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
543 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
544 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
545 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
546 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
547 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
550 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
555 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
556 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
557 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
558 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
559 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
562 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
566 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
569 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
570 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
574 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
575 function (not just method). (doy)
579 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
580 and aren't easily installable/testable.
582 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
586 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
587 to be overridden more easily (doy).
589 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
593 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
594 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
596 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
600 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
601 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
602 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
604 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
608 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
609 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
610 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
612 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
613 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
617 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
618 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
620 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
621 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
625 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
626 is applied to a class (t0m).
628 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
629 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
631 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
634 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
635 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
637 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
638 be much more robust. (doy)
640 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
642 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
645 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
649 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
650 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
652 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
656 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
657 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
659 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
662 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
663 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
664 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
666 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
667 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
668 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
671 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
673 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
677 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
678 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
682 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
684 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
688 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
689 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
693 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
694 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
698 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
700 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
704 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
705 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
709 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
710 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
714 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
715 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
717 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
721 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
722 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
723 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
726 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
730 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
731 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
732 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
733 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
735 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
739 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
740 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
741 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
745 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
748 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
752 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
753 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
754 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
758 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
759 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
761 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
762 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
763 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
764 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
766 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
770 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
774 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
775 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
777 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
778 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
779 - Moose::Util::does_role
780 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
781 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
782 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
784 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
788 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
789 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
790 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
793 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
797 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
798 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
801 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
805 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
806 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
809 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
813 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
815 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
816 class. (Dave Rolsky).
818 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
819 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
820 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
822 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
823 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
824 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
827 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
828 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
830 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
831 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
832 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
834 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
836 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
837 substr et al, again. (sorear)
839 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
841 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
844 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
845 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
847 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
848 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
850 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
851 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
852 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
853 dependencies installed.
855 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
856 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
859 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
861 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
865 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
867 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
868 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
869 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
871 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
872 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
873 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
875 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
876 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
879 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
880 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
881 others. (nothingmuch)
883 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
884 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
885 remove_accessors. (doy)
887 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
888 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
889 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
891 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
892 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
894 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
895 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
896 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
897 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
900 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
901 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
903 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
904 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
906 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
908 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
909 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
912 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
913 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
914 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
915 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
916 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
918 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
919 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
920 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
921 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
922 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
923 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
924 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
927 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
928 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
929 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
930 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
931 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
933 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
934 which were not receiving the value of
935 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
936 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
937 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
938 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
942 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
943 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
944 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
945 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
946 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
949 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
950 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
951 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
952 - added tests for this (Stevan)
955 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
956 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
957 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
960 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
961 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
962 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
964 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
965 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
966 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
969 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
970 class if you pass it options for
971 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
972 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
973 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
974 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
975 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
976 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
977 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
978 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
979 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
981 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
982 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
983 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
984 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
985 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
988 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
989 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
990 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
991 existing delegation API. (hdp)
993 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
994 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
995 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
996 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
997 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
998 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
1001 * Moose::Error::Croak
1002 * Moose::Error::Confess
1003 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
1004 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
1007 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
1010 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
1011 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
1012 installing a broken sub. (doy)
1014 * Moose::Meta::Class
1015 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
1018 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
1019 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1020 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
1022 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1023 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1024 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
1025 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
1026 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
1028 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1029 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
1032 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
1034 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1035 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1038 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1039 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1041 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1042 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1043 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1044 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1046 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1047 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1048 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1049 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1050 using it for new code!
1052 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1053 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1054 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1055 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1057 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1058 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1059 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1060 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1061 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1062 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1063 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1064 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1067 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1070 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1071 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1074 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1075 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1077 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1078 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1079 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1081 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1082 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1083 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1084 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1086 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1087 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1088 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1090 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1091 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1092 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1095 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1096 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1097 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1098 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1099 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1100 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1102 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1104 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1107 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1108 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1109 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1111 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1112 associated_methods. (hdp)
1113 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1114 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1115 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1116 misspelled) arguments
1118 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1119 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1120 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1121 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1123 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1124 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1125 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1127 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1130 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1131 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1132 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1135 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1136 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1138 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1139 * Moose::Meta::Class
1140 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1141 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1143 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1144 * Moose::Manual::Types
1145 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1146 string parsing rathole (mst)
1148 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1149 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1150 using plain objects instead
1152 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1153 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1154 that's what we need.
1156 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1157 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1158 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1159 three times today (perigrin)
1160 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1161 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1163 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1164 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1165 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1166 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1169 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1170 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1171 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1172 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1173 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1174 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1177 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1178 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1179 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1180 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1183 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1185 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1188 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1190 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1193 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1194 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1195 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1199 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1200 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1203 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1204 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1206 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1207 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1208 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1210 * Moose::Unsweetened
1211 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1213 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1214 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1217 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1221 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1222 methods during global destruction (doy)
1224 * Moose::Meta::Class
1225 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1226 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1227 consumption (Sartak)
1229 * Moose::Meta::Class
1230 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1231 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1234 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1235 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1238 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1239 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1241 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1243 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1247 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1248 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1249 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1252 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1253 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1254 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1257 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1259 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1260 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1261 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1264 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1265 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1266 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1267 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1269 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1270 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1271 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1274 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1277 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1278 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1279 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1283 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1284 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1286 * Moose::Meta::Class
1287 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1289 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1291 * Moose::Meta::Class
1292 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1293 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1296 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1297 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1300 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1301 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1304 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1307 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1309 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1310 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1313 * Moose::Meta::Class
1314 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1316 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1317 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1320 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1321 * More deprecations and renamings
1322 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1323 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1324 when an object is constructed)
1327 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1328 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1329 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1331 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1332 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1333 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1334 feature, and it works again.
1337 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1339 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1341 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1342 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1343 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1345 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1346 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1347 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1348 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1349 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1351 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1352 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1353 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1354 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1355 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1358 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1359 metaclass object. (hdp)
1361 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1362 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1363 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1364 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1365 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1366 point out this fact. (hdp)
1368 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1369 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1371 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1372 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1374 * Moose::Meta::Class
1375 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1376 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1377 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1378 called during instance construction were passed the
1379 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1380 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1382 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1383 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1386 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1387 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1388 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1391 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1392 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1393 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1394 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1395 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1397 - Moose::Meta::Class
1398 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1400 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1401 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1402 when an object is constructed)
1403 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1405 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1406 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1407 when an object is constructed)
1408 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1409 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1410 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1413 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1415 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1416 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1418 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1420 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1421 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1422 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1424 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1425 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1426 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1428 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1430 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1431 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1433 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1434 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1437 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1438 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1441 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1442 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1443 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1445 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1446 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1450 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1451 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1452 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1454 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1455 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1458 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1459 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1460 with recommended workarounds.
1462 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1463 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1465 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1466 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1467 (yes, spelled like that).
1469 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1470 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1472 * Moose::Meta::Class
1473 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1474 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1476 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1478 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1479 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1480 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1481 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1482 instead. Reported by doy.
1484 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1486 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1487 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1489 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1490 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1491 message) is now deprecated.
1492 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1493 often got it wrong. For example:
1495 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1497 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1501 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1502 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1503 bite you in weird cases.
1505 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1506 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1507 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1508 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1510 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1511 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1515 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1518 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1519 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1522 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1523 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1525 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1526 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1529 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1530 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1531 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1532 - added tests for this (stevan)
1534 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1535 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1536 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1537 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1541 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1542 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1543 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1544 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1546 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1547 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1548 - added tests for this (rafl)
1550 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1551 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1552 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1553 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1557 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1558 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1561 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1562 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1563 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1565 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1567 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1568 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1570 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1571 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1572 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1573 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1574 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1576 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1577 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1578 error message did not specify the attribute name
1581 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1583 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1585 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1586 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1587 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1589 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1590 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1593 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1595 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1596 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1597 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1598 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1600 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1602 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1603 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1604 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1605 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1607 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1608 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1609 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1611 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1612 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1613 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1614 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1615 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1617 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1618 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1619 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1620 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1621 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1623 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1624 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1625 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1626 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1627 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1628 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1630 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1631 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1632 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1633 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1634 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1635 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1637 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1638 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1640 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1641 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1642 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1643 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1645 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1646 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1649 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1653 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1654 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1656 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1657 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1658 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1659 guts. (nothingmuch).
1661 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1662 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1663 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1665 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1666 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1667 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1668 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1670 * Moose::Meta::Class
1671 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1674 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1675 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1677 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1678 * Moose::Unsweetened
1679 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1682 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1683 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1684 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1685 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1686 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1687 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1689 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1690 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1691 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1692 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1693 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1694 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1695 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1696 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1697 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1698 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1700 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1702 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1703 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1705 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1706 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1707 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1708 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1710 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1711 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1712 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1713 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1714 same methods for a single role did not work
1715 right (worked just fine with multiple
1717 - added test for this (stevan)
1719 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1720 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1721 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1724 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1725 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1726 - added test for this (t0m)
1729 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1730 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1731 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1733 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1734 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1735 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1736 - added test for this (t0m)
1738 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1739 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1740 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1741 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1742 - added test for this (perigrin)
1745 - create method for constructing a role
1746 dynamically (Sartak)
1747 - added test for this (Sartak)
1748 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1749 - added test for this (Sartak)
1752 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1754 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1755 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1756 methods is useful (Sartak)
1758 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1759 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1760 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1763 * Moose::Meta::Class
1764 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1765 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1766 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1767 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1768 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1769 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1772 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1773 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1775 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1776 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1777 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1778 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1779 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1781 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1783 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1784 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1785 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1788 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1789 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1790 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1791 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1792 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1793 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1796 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1797 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1798 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1799 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1800 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1801 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1802 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1803 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1804 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1805 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1806 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1808 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1809 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1812 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1813 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1814 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1815 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1816 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1818 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1820 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1821 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1822 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1824 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1825 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1827 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1828 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1829 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1830 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1833 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1834 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1836 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1838 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1839 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1841 * Moose::Meta::Class
1842 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1843 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1844 a required attribute
1846 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1847 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1848 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1849 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1851 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1852 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1854 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1855 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1856 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1857 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1858 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1859 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1860 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1861 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1863 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1864 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1865 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1867 * Roles and role application
1868 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1869 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1870 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1871 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1872 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1874 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1875 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1878 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1879 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1880 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1881 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1882 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1885 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1886 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1887 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1888 changes in the Moose internals.
1890 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1891 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1892 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1895 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1896 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1897 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1898 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1900 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1901 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1902 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1903 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1905 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1906 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1907 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1908 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1909 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1910 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1911 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1912 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1913 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1914 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1915 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1916 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1917 constraint implementations.
1919 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1923 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1924 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1925 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1926 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1927 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1928 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1929 - added tests for this (rafl)
1931 * Moose::Meta::Class
1932 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1933 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1934 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1935 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1936 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1937 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1938 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1939 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1942 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1943 - added tests for this (thepler)
1945 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1946 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1947 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1948 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1951 * Moose::Meta::Class
1952 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1953 * Moose::Meta::Method
1956 * Moose::Error::Default
1957 * Moose::Error::Croak
1958 * Moose::Error::Confess
1959 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1960 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1961 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1962 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1963 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1964 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1966 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1968 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1969 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1971 * Moose::Unsweetened
1972 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1973 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1974 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1976 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1977 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1978 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1979 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1980 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1983 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1984 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1986 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1987 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1988 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1989 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1992 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1994 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1995 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1997 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
2000 - Various bug fixes.
2002 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
2003 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
2005 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
2007 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
2008 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2009 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2010 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
2011 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
2012 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
2014 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2015 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
2016 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
2018 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
2019 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
2020 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
2023 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
2024 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
2025 dependency to 0.64_07.
2027 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
2028 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
2029 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
2031 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2032 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
2035 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2036 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
2037 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
2038 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
2039 coincidental exception. (t0m).
2040 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2042 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2043 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
2045 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2047 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
2048 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
2052 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
2053 method when that method was provided by another role being
2054 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
2055 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
2057 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008

2060 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
2062 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2063 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
2064 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
2065 - added test for this (t0m)
2067 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2068 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
2069 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
2071 - added test for this (t0m)
2074 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
2075 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
2076 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
2079 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
2080 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
2082 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
2084 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
2085 easier (Dave Rolsky)
2087 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2088 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
2089 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)

2098 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
2102 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
2103 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
2104 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
2107 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
2108 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
2109 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
2110 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
2113 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
2117 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
2118 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
2119 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
2121 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
2122 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

2137 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
2139 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
2140 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
2141 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)

2154 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2155 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
2159 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
2160 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
2162 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2163 ... this is not my day today ...
2165 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2166 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2167 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2168 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2169 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2172 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2173 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2174 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2175 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2176 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2179 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2181 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2182 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
2183 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
2184 this is not ever something you want to do
2185 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
2186 - added tests for this (stevan)

2214 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2215 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2216 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2217 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2218 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2219 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2220 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2221 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2222 - added tests for this
2224 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2225 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
2226 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
2227 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by

2332 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
2334 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
2335 XS based functionality is now optional
2336 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2337 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2338 can now be used to force non-XS versions

2441 drink more coffee before
2442 doing release engineering

2750 - lots of cleanup of such things as:
2752 - type constraint handling
2753 - error handling/messages
2754 (thanks to nothingmuch)
2756 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2757 - added this module to support the refactor
2758 in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized
2760 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized
2761 - refactored how these types are handled so they
2762 are more generic and not confined to ArrayRef
2766 - shortened some file names for better VMS support (RT #32381)
2768 0.33 Fri. Dec. 14, 2007
2769 !! Moose now loads 2 x faster !!
2770 !! with new Class::MOP 0.49 !!
2772 ++ new oose.pm module to make command line
2773 Moose-ness easier (see POD docs for more)
2775 * Moose::Meta::Class
2777 - several tweaks to take advantage of the
2778 new method map caching in Class::MOP
2780 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized

2782 be used as a container (sartak)
2783 - added tests for this
2784 - basic support for coercion to ArrayRef and
2785 HashRef for containers (sartak)
2786 - added tests for this
2788 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2789 - coercions will now create subtypes as needed
2790 so you can now add coercions to parameterized
2791 types without having to explictly define them
2792 - added tests for this
2794 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2795 - allow subclasses to decide whether we need
2796 to copy the value into a new variable (sartak)
2798 0.32 Tues. Dec. 4, 2007
2799 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2800 - fixing how subtype aliases of unions work
2801 they should inherit the parent's coercion
2802 - added tests for this
2803 - you can now define multiple coercions on
2804 a single type at different times instead of
2805 having to do it all in one place
2806 - added tests for this
2808 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2809 - there is now a default constraint of sub { 1 }
2810 instead of Moose::Util::TypeConstraints setting
2813 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2814 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2815 - added the &has_coercion_for_type and
2816 &add_type_coercions methods to support the
2817 new features above (although you cannot add
2818 more type coercions for Union types)
2820 0.31 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
2821 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2822 - made the +attr syntax handle extending types with
2823 parameters. So "has '+foo' => (isa => 'ArrayRef[Int]')"
2824 now works if the original foo is an ArrayRef.
2825 - added tests for this.
2826 - delegation now works even if the attribute does not
2827 have a reader method using the get_read_method_ref
2828 method from Class::MOP::Attribute.
2829 - added tests for this
2830 - added docs for this
2832 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2833 - passing no "additional attribute info" to
2834 &find_or_create_type_constraint will no longer
2835 attempt to create an __ANON__ type for you,
2836 instead it will just return undef.
2837 - added docs for this
2839 0.30 Fri. Nov. 23, 2007

2850 - fixed it so that subtype 'Foo' => as 'HashRef[Int]' ...
2851 with work correctly.
2852 - added tests for this
2855 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2856 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code
2859 - New tests for builder bug. Upon instantiation, if an
2860 attribute had a builder, no value and was not lazy the
2861 builder default was not getting run, oops. (groditi)
2863 0.29 Tues. Nov. 13, 2007

2894 * fixing some misc. bits in the docs that
2895 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
2898 - fixed how required methods are handled
2899 when they encounter overriden or modified
2900 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2901 - added tests for this
2903 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2904 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2905 the | always creates a union and so is
2906 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2907 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2909 - added more tests for this
2911 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2914 * Parameterized Types
2915 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2916 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2917 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2918 They can also be nested:
2919 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2920 And work with the type unions as well:
2921 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2923 * Better Framework Extendability
2924 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2925 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2926 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2927 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2930 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2931 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2932 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2933 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2936 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2938 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
2939 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)
2942 - added all the meta classes to the immutable list and

2970 assumptions about hash based classes (thanks to dexter)
2972 * Moose::Coookbook::Snacks
2973 - these are bits of documentation, not quite as big as
2974 Recipes but which have no clear place in the module docs.
2975 So they are Snacks! (horray for castaway++)
2977 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe4
2978 - updated it to use the new ArrayRef[MyType] construct
2979 - updated the accompanying test as well
2981 +++ Major Refactor of the Type Constraint system +++
2982 +++ with new features added as well +++
2984 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2985 - no longer uses package variable to keep track of
2986 the type constraints, now uses the an instance of
2987 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry to do it
2988 - added more sophisticated type notation parsing
2990 - added tests for this
2992 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint

2998 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
2999 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3001 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
3002 - this has been added to service the newly refactored
3003 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union and is itself
3004 a subclass of Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion

3018 (thanks to shlomif).
3020 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3021 - required attributes now will no longer accept undef
3022 from the constructor, even if there is a default and lazy
3023 - added tests for this

3026 - added tests for this
3028 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3029 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor

3071 (but not changing the handles option)
3072 - added tests and docs for this
3075 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
3076 so that required methods can come from superclasses
3077 - adjusted tests for this
3079 0.23 Mon. June 18, 2007
3080 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
3081 - fix inlined constructor for hierarchy with multiple BUILD methods (mst)

3087 the other side (perigrin)
3089 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
3090 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3091 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3092 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
3093 prototypes for functions
3094 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
3095 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

3105 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
3108 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
3109 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
3110 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
3111 - added tests for this
3113 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
3115 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

3133 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
3134 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
3136 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
3137 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
3139 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
3140 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
3141 so this release is just to fix that.
3144 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
3145 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
3146 (thanks to konobi for this)
3147 - added tests and docs
3149 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
3150 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
3152 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3153 - 'type' now supports messages as well
3154 thanks to phaylon for finding this
3155 - added tests for this
3156 - added &list_all_type_constraints and
3157 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
3158 functions to facilitate introspection.
3160 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3161 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
3162 to build the list of delegated methods
3163 correctly (and not override important
3164 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
3166 - added tests and docs for this
3167 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3168 so that you can actually document your
3169 attributes and inspect them through the
3171 - added tests and docs for this
3173 * Moose::Meta::Class
3174 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3175 it will first look in for the class in the
3176 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3177 then default to just loading $name.
3178 - added tests and docs for this
3180 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3181 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3182 - added test for this
3185 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
3186 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
3187 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3188 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3190 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3191 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3194 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3196 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3197 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3198 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3201 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3202 !! for this developer release to work !!
3204 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3205 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3206 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3207 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3208 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3209 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3210 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3211 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3212 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3213 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3214 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3216 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3217 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3218 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3219 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3222 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3223 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3224 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3225 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3226 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3228 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3230 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3231 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3234 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3235 called unless they actually need to be.
3236 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3237 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3238 DEMOLISH method present.
3240 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3241 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3242 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3243 type constraint, which allows for a
3244 hand optimized version of the type
3245 constraint to be used when possible.
3246 - Any internally created type constraints
3247 now provide an optimized version as well.
3249 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3251 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3252 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3253 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3255 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3256 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3257 your class namespace of these exported
3260 * Moose::Meta::Class
3261 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3262 comes up during global destruction
3264 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3268 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3271 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3272 - changed how we do type checks so that
3273 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3276 - moved accessor generation methods to
3277 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3278 conform to the API changes from
3281 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3282 - changed how constraints are compiled
3283 so that we do less recursion and more
3284 iteration. This makes the type check
3286 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3289 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3290 - created this from methods formerly found in
3291 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3293 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3294 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3296 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3297 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3299 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3300 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3302 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3304 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3305 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3306 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3307 - added tests for this
3308 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3309 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3310 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3311 - removed tests for this
3313 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3315 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3316 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3317 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3320 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3321 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3322 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3324 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3325 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3326 comments for more info.
3329 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3330 asked questions and common problems
3332 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3333 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3334 - added tests for this
3336 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3337 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3338 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3339 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3341 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3342 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3345 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3346 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3347 is much appreciated :)
3348 - added tests for this
3350 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3351 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3352 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3355 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3356 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3358 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3360 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3361 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3365 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3366 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3367 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3369 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3371 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3374 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3375 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3376 keywords because we need to localize them.
3377 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3379 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3380 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3381 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3384 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3387 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3388 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3389 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3392 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3393 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3394 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3396 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3398 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3399 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3400 bottom of your class file.
3403 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3406 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3408 - improved error message when loading modules so
3409 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3410 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3411 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3414 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3415 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3416 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3418 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3419 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3421 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3422 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3423 turn them on for you.
3424 - added tests for this
3425 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3426 in Moose::Meta::Class
3429 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
3430 automatically turned on for you.

3453 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3454 - This release works in combination with
3455 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3456 release because it uses the a new
3457 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3458 complete Role implementation. It has
3459 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3460 the the previous CPAN version. This
3461 release also lacks good updated docs,
3462 the official release will have updated docs.
3465 - refactored the keyword exports
3466 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3467 accepts more than one Role at a time
3468 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3469 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3472 - refactored the keyword exports
3473 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3474 accepts more than one Role at a time
3476 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3477 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3478 string enumerations which can be used as
3480 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3483 - more careful checking of params to new()
3486 - much work done on the role composition
3487 - many new tests for conflict detection
3488 and composition edge cases
3489 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3490 looking at the tests
3492 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3493 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3494 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3496 * Moose::Meta::Class
3497 - some small changes to support the new
3499 - some small additions to support Roles
3501 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3502 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3504 - some small changes to support the new
3506 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3507 with the 'handles' option
3508 - added several tests for this
3509 - no docs for this yet
3511 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
3513 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3514 thanks to chansen for this commit
3515 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3516 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3517 on a per-attribute basis
3518 - added tests for this
3519 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3520 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3521 experimental feature and probably not finished
3522 see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
3523 more details, or ask about it on #moose
