1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * The Array and Hash native traits now provide a "shallow_clone" method,
9 which will return a reference to a new container with the same contents as
10 the attribute's reference.
14 * The Moose::Exporter module now has a "meta_lookup" option when creating an
15 importer. This allows you to specify an alternate method for determining
16 the metaclass of a caller. This is useful for modules like
17 MooseX::Role::Parameterized which generate new metaclasses on the
20 * Specifying an invalid value in a hashref 'handles' value now throws a
21 sensible error (Dave Rolsky)
25 * When specifying an attribute trait, passing options for the trait besides
26 -alias or -excludes caused a warning. However, passing other options is
27 totally valid when using MooseX::Role::Parameterized. (sartak)
29 * Allow regexp objects in duck_type constraints (to bring this in line with
30 the Object constraint)
34 * The optimize_as option for type constraints has been deprecated. Use the
35 inline_as option to provide inlining code instead. (Dave Rolsky)
39 * The Class::MOP::load_class and Class::MOP::is_class_loaded subroutines are
40 no longer documented, and will cause a deprecation warning in the
41 future. Moose now uses Class::Load to provide this functionality, and you
42 should as well. (Dave Rolsky)
44 2.0204 Thu, Aug 25, 2011
48 * Validating duck_type type constraint turned out to work only by accident,
49 and only when not running under the debugger. This has been fixed.
54 * Loosen the dependency on ExtUtils::ParseXS.
56 2.0203 Tue, Aug 23, 2011
60 * is_class_loaded now properly detects packages which have a version object
63 * Fix XS compilation under blead.
65 2.0202 Tue, Jul 26, 2011
69 * Be more consistent about how type constraint messages are handled.
71 2.0201 Fri, Jul 22, 2011
75 * Moose::Util::does_role shouldn't call ->does on things that don't inherit
78 * Make ->does initialize the metaclass, so that calling it as a class method
79 on a class which sets up inheritance via some method other than extends
80 works properly (this fixes an issue with MooseX::Types).
82 * Make Dist::CheckConflicts a runtime requirement, so moose-outdated always
85 2.0200 Mon, Jul 18, 2011
89 * No changes from 2.0105 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
91 2.0105-TRIAL Mon, Jun 27, 2011
95 * Moose::Util::does_role now respects overridden ->does methods. (doy)
97 2.0104-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
101 * Include changes from 2.0010.
103 2.0103-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
107 * Several things that have been deprecated for a while have been removed. See
108 the 2.0000 section in Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
112 * New Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::union function for creating union type
113 constraints without having to rely on the string type constraint parsing.
114 This also allows for creating unions of anonymous type constraints.
119 * Include changes from Moose 2.0009.
121 2.0102-TRIAL Sat, Jun 18, 2011
125 * The native Array trait now has a 'first_index' method, which works just
126 like the version in List::MoreUtils. (Karen Etheridge)
128 * Clean up some internal code to help out extensions.
132 * Include changes from Moose 2.0008.
134 2.0101-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
138 * Various packaging issues.
140 2.0100-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
144 * Using a hand-optimized type constraint is now deprecated. In keeping with
145 our release policy, this won't actually start warning until the 2.0200
150 * Type constraints can now provide inlined versions, which should make
151 inlined code which uses type constraints (such as accessors) faster. This
152 replaces the existing hand-optimized constraint feature. (Dave Rolsky)
156 * Remove a lot of cases where generated methods closed over meta objects.
157 Most simple cases should now only close over simple data types and
158 coderefs. This should make deparsing simpler.
160 2.0010 Mon, Jun 20, 2011
164 * Fix regression in 2.0009 and 2.0103 when applying roles during init_meta in
165 an exporter that also re-exports Moose or Moose::Role. (t0m, ilmari)
167 2.0009 Sun, Jun 19, 2011
171 * duck_type type constraints now report reasonable errors when given
172 something which isn't an instance of an object. (t0m)
174 * Moose::Util::apply_all_roles now works even if the applicant is a non-Moose
177 * When an object is reblessed, triggers are called on attributes that are
178 set during the reblessing. (Karen Etheridge).
182 * Better error message if Moose->init_meta is called with a 'metaclass'
183 option when that metaclass hasn't been loaded. (jasonmay)
185 2.0008 Thu, Jun 16, 2011
189 * The 'accessor' native delegation for hashrefs now allows setting the value
190 to undef. (sugoik, doy)
194 * Various generated methods have more useful context information. (doy)
196 2.0007 Sun, May 15, 2011
200 * Make sure weak attributes remain weak when cloning. (doy, rafl)
202 2.0006 Mon, May 09, 2011
206 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
207 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
209 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
213 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
215 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
219 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
221 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
222 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
224 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
228 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
229 skips every other role. (rjbs)
231 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
232 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
233 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
234 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
235 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
237 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
241 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
242 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
243 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
246 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
251 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
253 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
254 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
256 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
260 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
261 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
262 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
266 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
267 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
269 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
270 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
272 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
273 environments. (doy, mateu)
275 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
279 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
280 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
281 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
282 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
286 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
287 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
289 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
293 * Update conflicts list.
296 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
300 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
301 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
302 details. (Dave Rolsky)
304 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
305 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
306 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
307 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
308 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
312 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
313 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
314 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
315 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
316 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
319 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
323 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
324 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
326 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
329 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
333 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
334 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
335 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
336 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
338 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
339 immutable classes). (mo)
341 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
342 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
343 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
345 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
349 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
351 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
353 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
357 * Fix some indexing issues.
359 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
361 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
365 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
366 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
367 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
368 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
369 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
371 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
372 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
377 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
378 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
379 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
380 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
382 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
383 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
384 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
388 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
389 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
392 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
396 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
397 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
401 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
405 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
406 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
407 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
408 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
411 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
415 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
418 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
422 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
423 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
424 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
427 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
431 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
432 policy. (Chris Prather)
434 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
435 on this new support policy. (doy)
439 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
440 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
441 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
443 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
444 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
446 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
450 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
451 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
452 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
453 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
456 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
460 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
461 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
464 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
468 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
469 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
471 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
472 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
476 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
477 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
478 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
479 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
480 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
481 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
483 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
484 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
486 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
487 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
488 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
489 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
491 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
492 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
494 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
499 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
500 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
502 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
506 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
507 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
508 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
510 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
514 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
515 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
516 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
518 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
519 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
522 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
523 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
526 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
527 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
528 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
530 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
531 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
536 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
537 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
538 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
539 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
541 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
542 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
544 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
545 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
547 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
548 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
549 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
550 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
552 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
553 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
554 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
557 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
558 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
559 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
560 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
562 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
563 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
566 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
567 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
568 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
570 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
574 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
575 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
576 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
578 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
579 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
580 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
583 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
584 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
585 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
587 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
588 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
589 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
591 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
592 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
596 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
597 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
598 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
600 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
601 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
602 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
603 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
605 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
609 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
610 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
611 value is a reference.
613 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
614 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
616 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
620 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
621 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
622 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
624 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
628 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
629 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
633 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
634 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
635 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
637 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
638 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
639 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
641 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
645 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
647 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
651 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
653 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
654 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
659 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
660 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
662 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
663 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
664 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
665 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
666 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
668 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
669 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
670 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
671 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
673 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
677 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
678 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
683 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
685 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
687 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
692 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
694 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
698 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
699 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
700 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
702 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
703 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
704 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
705 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
707 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
708 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
709 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
710 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
711 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
714 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
719 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
720 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
721 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
722 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
723 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
726 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
730 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
733 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
734 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
738 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
739 function (not just method). (doy)
743 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
744 and aren't easily installable/testable.
746 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
750 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
751 to be overridden more easily (doy).
753 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
757 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
758 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
760 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
764 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
765 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
766 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
768 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
772 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
773 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
774 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
776 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
777 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
781 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
782 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
784 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
785 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
789 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
790 is applied to a class (t0m).
792 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
793 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
795 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
798 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
799 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
801 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
802 be much more robust. (doy)
804 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
806 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
809 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
813 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
814 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
816 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
820 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
821 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
823 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
826 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
827 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
828 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
830 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
831 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
832 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
835 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
837 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
841 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
842 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
846 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
848 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
852 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
853 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
857 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
858 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
862 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
864 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
868 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
869 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
873 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
874 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
878 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
879 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
881 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
885 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
886 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
887 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
890 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
894 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
895 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
896 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
897 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
899 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
903 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
904 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
905 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
909 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
912 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
916 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
917 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
918 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
922 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
923 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
925 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
926 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
927 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
928 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
930 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
934 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
938 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
939 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
941 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
942 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
943 - Moose::Util::does_role
944 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
945 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
946 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
948 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
952 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
953 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
954 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
957 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
961 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
962 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
965 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
969 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
970 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
973 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
977 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
979 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
980 class. (Dave Rolsky).
982 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
983 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
984 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
986 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
987 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
988 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
991 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
992 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
994 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
995 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
996 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
998 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
1000 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
1001 substr et al, again. (sorear)
1003 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
1005 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
1008 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
1009 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
1011 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
1012 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
1014 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
1015 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
1016 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
1017 dependencies installed.
1019 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
1020 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
1023 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
1025 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
1029 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1031 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1032 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
1033 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
1035 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1036 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
1037 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
1039 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
1040 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
1043 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
1044 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
1045 others. (nothingmuch)
1047 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1048 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
1049 remove_accessors. (doy)
1051 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1052 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
1053 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
1055 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
1056 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
1058 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
1059 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1060 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
1061 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
1063 * Moose::Meta::Class
1064 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
1065 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
1067 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1068 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
1070 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
1072 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
1073 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
1076 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1077 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
1078 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
1079 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
1080 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
1082 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
1083 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
1084 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
1085 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
1086 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
1087 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
1088 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
1091 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
1092 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
1093 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
1094 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
1095 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
1097 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
1098 which were not receiving the value of
1099 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
1100 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
1101 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
1102 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
1106 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
1107 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
1108 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
1109 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
1110 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
1113 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1114 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
1115 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
1116 - added tests for this (Stevan)
1118 * Moose::Meta::Class
1119 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
1120 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
1121 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
1124 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
1125 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1126 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
1128 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1129 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
1130 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
1133 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
1134 class if you pass it options for
1135 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
1136 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
1137 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
1138 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
1139 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
1140 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
1141 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
1142 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
1143 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
1145 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1146 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
1147 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
1148 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
1149 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
1152 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
1153 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1154 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
1155 existing delegation API. (hdp)
1157 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1158 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
1159 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
1160 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
1161 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
1162 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
1165 * Moose::Error::Croak
1166 * Moose::Error::Confess
1167 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
1168 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
1171 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
1174 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
1175 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
1176 installing a broken sub. (doy)
1178 * Moose::Meta::Class
1179 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
1182 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
1183 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1184 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
1186 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1187 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1188 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
1189 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
1190 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
1192 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1193 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
1196 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
1198 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1199 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1202 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1203 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1205 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1206 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1207 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1208 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1210 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1211 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1212 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1213 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1214 using it for new code!
1216 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1217 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1218 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1219 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1221 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1222 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1223 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1224 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1225 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1226 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1227 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1228 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1231 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1234 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1235 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1238 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1239 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1241 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1242 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1243 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1245 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1246 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1247 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1248 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1250 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1251 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1252 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1254 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1255 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1256 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1259 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1260 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1261 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1262 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1263 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1264 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1266 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1268 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1271 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1272 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1273 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1275 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1276 associated_methods. (hdp)
1277 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1278 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1279 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1280 misspelled) arguments
1282 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1283 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1284 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1285 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1287 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1288 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1289 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1291 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1294 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1295 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1296 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1299 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1300 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1302 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1303 * Moose::Meta::Class
1304 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1305 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1307 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1308 * Moose::Manual::Types
1309 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1310 string parsing rathole (mst)
1312 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1313 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1314 using plain objects instead
1316 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1317 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1318 that's what we need.
1320 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1321 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1322 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1323 three times today (perigrin)
1324 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1325 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1327 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1328 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1329 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1330 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1333 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1334 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1335 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1336 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1337 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1338 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1341 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1342 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1343 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1344 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1347 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1349 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1352 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1354 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1357 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1358 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1359 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1363 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1364 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1367 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1368 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1370 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1371 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1372 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1374 * Moose::Unsweetened
1375 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1377 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1378 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1381 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1385 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1386 methods during global destruction (doy)
1388 * Moose::Meta::Class
1389 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1390 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1391 consumption (Sartak)
1393 * Moose::Meta::Class
1394 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1395 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1398 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1399 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1402 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1403 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1405 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1407 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1411 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1412 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1413 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1416 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1417 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1418 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1421 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1423 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1424 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1425 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1428 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1429 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1430 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1431 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1433 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1434 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1435 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1438 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1441 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1442 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1443 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1447 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1448 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1450 * Moose::Meta::Class
1451 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1453 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1455 * Moose::Meta::Class
1456 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1457 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1460 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1461 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1464 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1465 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1468 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1471 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1473 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1474 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1477 * Moose::Meta::Class
1478 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1480 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1481 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1484 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1485 * More deprecations and renamings
1486 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1487 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1488 when an object is constructed)
1491 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1492 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1493 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1495 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1496 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1497 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1498 feature, and it works again.
1501 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1503 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1505 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1506 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1507 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1509 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1510 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1511 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1512 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1513 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1515 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1516 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1517 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1518 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1519 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1522 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1523 metaclass object. (hdp)
1525 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1526 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1527 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1528 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1529 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1530 point out this fact. (hdp)
1532 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1533 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1535 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1536 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1538 * Moose::Meta::Class
1539 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1540 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1541 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1542 called during instance construction were passed the
1543 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1544 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1546 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1547 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1550 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1551 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1552 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1555 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1556 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1557 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1558 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1559 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1561 - Moose::Meta::Class
1562 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1564 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1565 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1566 when an object is constructed)
1567 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1569 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1570 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1571 when an object is constructed)
1572 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1573 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1574 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1577 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1579 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1580 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1582 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1584 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1585 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1586 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1588 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1589 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1590 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1592 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1594 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1595 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1597 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1598 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1601 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1602 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1605 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1606 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1607 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1609 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1610 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1614 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1615 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1616 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1618 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1619 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1622 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1623 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1624 with recommended workarounds.
1626 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1627 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1629 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1630 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1631 (yes, spelled like that).
1633 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1634 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1636 * Moose::Meta::Class
1637 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1638 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1640 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1642 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1643 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1644 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1645 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1646 instead. Reported by doy.
1648 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1650 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1651 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1653 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1654 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1655 message) is now deprecated.
1656 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1657 often got it wrong. For example:
1659 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1661 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1665 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1666 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1667 bite you in weird cases.
1669 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1670 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1671 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1672 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1674 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1675 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1679 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1682 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1683 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1686 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1687 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1689 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1690 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1693 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1694 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1695 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1696 - added tests for this (stevan)
1698 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1699 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1700 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1701 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1705 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1706 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1707 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1708 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1710 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1711 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1712 - added tests for this (rafl)
1714 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1715 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1716 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1717 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1721 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1722 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1725 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1726 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1727 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1729 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1731 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1732 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1734 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1735 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1736 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1737 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1738 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1740 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1741 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1742 error message did not specify the attribute name
1745 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1747 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1749 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1750 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1751 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1753 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1754 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1757 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1759 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1760 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1761 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1762 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1764 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1766 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1767 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1768 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1769 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1771 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1772 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1773 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1775 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1776 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1777 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1778 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1779 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1781 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1782 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1783 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1784 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1785 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1787 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1788 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1789 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1790 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1791 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1792 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1794 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1795 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1796 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1797 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1798 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1799 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1801 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1802 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1804 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1805 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1806 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1807 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1809 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1810 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1813 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1817 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1818 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1820 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1821 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1822 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1823 guts. (nothingmuch).
1825 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1826 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1827 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1829 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1830 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1831 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1832 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1834 * Moose::Meta::Class
1835 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1838 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1839 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1841 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1842 * Moose::Unsweetened
1843 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1846 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1847 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1848 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1849 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1850 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1851 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1853 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1854 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1855 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1856 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1857 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1858 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1859 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1860 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1861 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1862 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1864 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1866 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1867 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1869 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1870 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1871 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1872 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1874 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1875 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1876 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1877 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1878 same methods for a single role did not work
1879 right (worked just fine with multiple
1881 - added test for this (stevan)
1883 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1884 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1885 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1888 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1889 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1890 - added test for this (t0m)
1893 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1894 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1895 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1897 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1898 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1899 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1900 - added test for this (t0m)
1902 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1903 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1904 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1905 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1906 - added test for this (perigrin)
1909 - create method for constructing a role
1910 dynamically (Sartak)
1911 - added test for this (Sartak)
1912 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1913 - added test for this (Sartak)
1916 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1918 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1919 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1920 methods is useful (Sartak)
1922 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1923 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1924 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1927 * Moose::Meta::Class
1928 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1929 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1930 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1931 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1932 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1933 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1936 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1937 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1939 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1940 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1941 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1942 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1943 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1945 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1947 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1948 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1949 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1952 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1953 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1954 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1955 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1956 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1957 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1960 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1961 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1962 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1963 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1964 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1965 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1966 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1967 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1968 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1969 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1970 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1972 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1973 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1976 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1977 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1978 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1979 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1980 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1982 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1984 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1985 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1986 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1988 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1989 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1991 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1992 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1993 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1994 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1997 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1998 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
2000 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
2002 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
2003 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
2005 * Moose::Meta::Class
2006 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
2007 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
2008 a required attribute
2010 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
2011 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
2012 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
2013 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
2015 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2016 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
2018 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2019 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
2020 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
2021 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
2022 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
2023 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
2024 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
2025 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
2027 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
2028 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
2029 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
2031 * Roles and role application
2032 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
2033 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
2034 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
2035 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
2036 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
2038 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
2039 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
2042 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
2043 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
2044 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
2045 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
2046 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
2049 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
2050 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
2051 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
2052 changes in the Moose internals.
2054 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
2055 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2056 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
2059 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2060 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
2061 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
2062 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
2064 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2065 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
2066 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
2067 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
2069 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2070 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
2071 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
2072 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
2073 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
2074 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
2075 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
2076 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
2077 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
2078 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
2079 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
2080 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
2081 constraint implementations.
2083 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
2087 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
2088 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
2089 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
2090 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
2091 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
2092 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
2093 - added tests for this (rafl)
2095 * Moose::Meta::Class
2096 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
2097 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
2098 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
2099 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
2100 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
2101 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
2102 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
2103 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
2106 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
2107 - added tests for this (thepler)
2109 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2110 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
2111 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
2112 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
2115 * Moose::Meta::Class
2116 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2117 * Moose::Meta::Method
2120 * Moose::Error::Default
2121 * Moose::Error::Croak
2122 * Moose::Error::Confess
2123 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
2124 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
2125 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
2126 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
2127 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
2128 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
2130 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
2132 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
2133 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
2135 * Moose::Unsweetened
2136 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
2137 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
2138 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
2140 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2141 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
2142 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
2143 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
2144 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2147 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
2148 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
2150 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
2151 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
2152 several major changes in this release of Moose.
2153 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the

2195 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2196 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
2199 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2200 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
2201 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
2202 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
2203 coincidental exception. (t0m).
2204 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2206 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2207 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
2209 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2211 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
2212 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
2216 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
2217 method when that method was provided by another role being
2218 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
2219 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
2221 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008

2229 - added test for this (t0m)
2231 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2232 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
2233 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
2235 - added test for this (t0m)
2238 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
2239 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
2240 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
2243 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
2244 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
2246 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
2248 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
2249 easier (Dave Rolsky)
2251 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2252 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
2253 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)

2262 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
2266 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
2267 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
2268 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)

2277 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
2281 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash

2283 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
2285 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
2286 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2287 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
2288 created so that the process can be more easily

2323 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
2324 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
2326 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2327 ... this is not my day today ...
2329 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2330 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2331 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2332 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2333 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2336 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2337 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2338 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2339 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2340 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2343 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2345 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2346 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
2347 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
2348 this is not ever something you want to do
2349 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
2350 - added tests for this (stevan)
2353 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
2355 - added test for this

2368 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
2371 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
2373 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
2375 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
2378 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2379 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2380 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2381 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2382 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2383 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2384 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2385 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2386 - added tests for this
2388 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2389 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
2390 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
2391 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
2393 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)

2462 which was causing the indexer to choke
2464 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2465 (late night release engineering)--
2467 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
2468 changes in this release

2484 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2485 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
2486 method for immutablization to check if the
2487 destructor object even needs to be created
2490 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2491 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2492 - added more descriptive error message to help
2493 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
2494 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
2496 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
2498 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
2499 XS based functionality is now optional
2500 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2501 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2502 can now be used to force non-XS versions
2504 - several of the packages have been tweaked
2505 to take care of this, mostly we added
2506 support for the package_name and name

2509 support regexp matching of names
2510 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)

2512 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
2513 is currently not supported in roles,
2514 but, ... patches welcome

2521 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2522 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2523 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the

2526 - added test for this
2528 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

2554 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
2555 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
2556 (if possible) to create the anon-class

2572 show where the error is (thanks mst)
2575 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
2576 ->body when looping through the
2577 methods, to avoid the overloaded
2579 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
2580 eating the $@ values, and so not
2581 working correctly, it still kind of
2582 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
2583 - added tests for this
2585 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
2586 - added new recipe for immutable
2587 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)

2605 drink more coffee before
2606 doing release engineering
2608 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
2609 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr

2720 0.40 Fri. March 14, 2008
2721 - I hate Pod::Coverage
2723 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2725 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
2726 that come from recently composed roles. It makes
2727 sense, people are using it, and so why not just

2729 - fixing the 'extends' keyword so that it will not
2730 trigger Ovid's bug (http://use.perl.org/~Ovid/journal/35763)

2751 a role is applied to an the instance (rebless_params)
2752 - added tests for this
2754 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2755 - class_type now accepts an optional second argument for a
2756 custom message. POD anotated accordingly (groditi)
2757 - added tests for this
2758 - it is now possible to make anon-enums by passing 'enum' an
2759 ARRAY ref instead of the $name => @values. Everything else

2765 from a role, it works and makes sense too.
2767 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2768 - fix handles so that it doesn't return nothing
2769 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
2770 it ever did this originally, this means we now

3016 - added tests for this
3019 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
3020 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

3063 when they encounter overriden or modified
3064 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
3065 - added tests for this
3067 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
3068 - fixed the type notation parser so that
3069 the | always creates a union and so is
3070 no longer a valid type char (thanks to

3073 - added more tests for this
3075 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
3078 * Parameterized Types
3079 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
3080 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
3081 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
3082 They can also be nested:
3083 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
3084 And work with the type unions as well:
3085 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
3087 * Better Framework Extendability
3088 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
3089 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
3090 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
3091 section of the Moose.pm docs.
3094 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
3095 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
3096 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
3097 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
3100 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
3102 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of

3331 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3332 so that you can actually document your
3333 attributes and inspect them through the

3337 * Moose::Meta::Class
3338 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3339 it will first look in for the class in the
3340 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3341 then default to just loading $name.
3342 - added tests and docs for this
3344 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3345 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3346 - added test for this
3349 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh

3351 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3352 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3354 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3355 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3358 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3360 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3361 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3362 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3365 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3366 !! for this developer release to work !!
3368 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3369 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3370 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3371 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3372 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3373 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3374 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3375 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3376 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3377 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3378 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3380 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3381 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3382 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3383 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3386 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3387 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3388 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3389 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3390 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3392 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3394 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3395 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3398 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3399 called unless they actually need to be.
3400 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3401 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3402 DEMOLISH method present.
3404 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3405 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3406 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3407 type constraint, which allows for a
3408 hand optimized version of the type
3409 constraint to be used when possible.
3410 - Any internally created type constraints
3411 now provide an optimized version as well.
3413 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3415 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3416 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3417 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3419 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3420 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3421 your class namespace of these exported
3424 * Moose::Meta::Class
3425 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3426 comes up during global destruction
3428 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3432 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3435 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3436 - changed how we do type checks so that
3437 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3440 - moved accessor generation methods to
3441 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3442 conform to the API changes from
3445 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3446 - changed how constraints are compiled
3447 so that we do less recursion and more
3448 iteration. This makes the type check
3450 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3453 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3454 - created this from methods formerly found in
3455 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3457 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3458 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3460 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3461 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3463 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3464 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3466 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3468 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3469 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3470 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3471 - added tests for this
3472 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3473 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3474 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3475 - removed tests for this
3477 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3479 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3480 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3481 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3484 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3485 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3486 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3488 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3489 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3490 comments for more info.
3493 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3494 asked questions and common problems
3496 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3497 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3498 - added tests for this
3500 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3501 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3502 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3503 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3505 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3506 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3509 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3510 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3511 is much appreciated :)
3512 - added tests for this
3514 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3515 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3516 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3519 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3520 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3522 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3524 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3525 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3529 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3530 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3531 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3533 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3535 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3538 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3539 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3540 keywords because we need to localize them.
3541 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3543 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3544 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3545 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3548 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3551 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3552 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3553 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3556 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3557 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3558 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3560 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3562 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3563 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3564 bottom of your class file.
3567 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3570 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3572 - improved error message when loading modules so
3573 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3574 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3575 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3578 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3579 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3580 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3582 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3583 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3585 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3586 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3587 turn them on for you.
3588 - added tests for this
3589 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3590 in Moose::Meta::Class
3593 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
3594 automatically turned on for you.

3598 - now handles an edge case for override errors
3599 - added tests for this

3613 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
3616 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
3617 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3618 - This release works in combination with
3619 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3620 release because it uses the a new
3621 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3622 complete Role implementation. It has
3623 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3624 the the previous CPAN version. This
3625 release also lacks good updated docs,
3626 the official release will have updated docs.
3629 - refactored the keyword exports
3630 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3631 accepts more than one Role at a time
3632 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3633 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3636 - refactored the keyword exports
3637 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3638 accepts more than one Role at a time
3640 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3641 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3642 string enumerations which can be used as
3644 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3647 - more careful checking of params to new()
3650 - much work done on the role composition
3651 - many new tests for conflict detection
3652 and composition edge cases
3653 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3654 looking at the tests
3656 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3657 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3658 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3660 * Moose::Meta::Class
3661 - some small changes to support the new
3663 - some small additions to support Roles
3665 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3666 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3668 - some small changes to support the new
3670 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3671 with the 'handles' option
3672 - added several tests for this
3673 - no docs for this yet
3675 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
3677 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3678 thanks to chansen for this commit
3679 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3680 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3681 on a per-attribute basis
3682 - added tests for this
3683 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3684 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3685 experimental feature and probably not finished
3686 see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
3687 more details, or ask about it on #moose
3688 - added tests for this

3750 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
3752 - added test for this
3755 - this class can now be extended with 'use base' if
