1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * The native Array trait now has a 'first_index' method, which works just
9 like the version in List::MoreUtils. (Karen Etheridge)
11 2.0101 Mon, Jun 06, 2011
15 * Various packaging issues.
17 2.0100 Mon, Jun 06, 2011
21 * Using a hand-optimized type constraint is now deprecated. In keeping with
22 our release policy, this won't actually start warning until the 2.0200
27 * Type constraints can now provide inlined versions, which should make
28 inlined code which uses type constraints (such as accessors) faster. This
29 replaces the existing hand-optimized constraint feature. (Dave Rolsky)
33 * Remove a lot of cases where generated methods closed over meta objects.
34 Most simple cases should now only close over simple data types and
35 coderefs. This should make deparsing simpler.
37 2.0008 Thu, Jun 16, 2011
41 * The 'accessor' native delegation for hashrefs now allows setting the value
42 to undef. (sugoik, doy)
46 * Various generated methods have more useful context information. (doy)
48 2.0007 Sun, May 15, 2011
52 * Make sure weak attributes remain weak when cloning. (doy, rafl)
54 2.0006 Mon, May 09, 2011
58 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
59 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
61 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
65 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
67 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
71 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
73 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
74 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
76 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
80 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
81 skips every other role. (rjbs)
83 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
84 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
85 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
86 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
87 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
89 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
93 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
94 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
95 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
98 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
103 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
105 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
106 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
108 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
112 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
113 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
114 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
118 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
119 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
121 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
122 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
124 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
125 environments. (doy, mateu)
127 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
131 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
132 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
133 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
134 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
138 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
139 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
141 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
145 * Update conflicts list.
148 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
152 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
153 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
154 details. (Dave Rolsky)
156 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
157 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
158 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
159 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
160 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
164 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
165 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
166 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
167 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
168 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
171 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
175 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
176 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
178 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
181 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
185 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
186 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
187 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
188 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
190 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
191 immutable classes). (mo)
193 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
194 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
195 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
197 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
201 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
203 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
205 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
209 * Fix some indexing issues.
211 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
213 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
217 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
218 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
219 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
220 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
221 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
223 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
224 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
229 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
230 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
231 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
232 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
234 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
235 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
236 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
240 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
241 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
244 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
248 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
249 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
253 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
257 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
258 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
259 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
260 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
263 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
267 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
270 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
274 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
275 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
276 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
279 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
283 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
284 policy. (Chris Prather)
286 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
287 on this new support policy. (doy)
291 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
292 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
293 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
295 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
296 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
298 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
302 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
303 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
304 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
305 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
308 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
312 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
313 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
316 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
320 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
321 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
323 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
324 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
328 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
329 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
330 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
331 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
332 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
333 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
335 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
336 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
338 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
339 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
340 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
341 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
343 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
344 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
346 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
351 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
352 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
354 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
358 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
359 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
360 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
362 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
366 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
367 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
368 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
370 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
371 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
374 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
375 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
378 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
379 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
380 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
382 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
383 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
388 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
389 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
390 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
391 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
393 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
394 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
396 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
397 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
399 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
400 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
401 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
402 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
404 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
405 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
406 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
409 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
410 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
411 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
412 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
414 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
415 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
418 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
419 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
420 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
422 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
426 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
427 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
428 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
430 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
431 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
432 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
435 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
436 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
437 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
439 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
440 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
441 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
443 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
444 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
448 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
449 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
450 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
452 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
453 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
454 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
455 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
457 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
461 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
462 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
463 value is a reference.
465 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
466 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
468 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
472 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
473 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
474 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
476 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
480 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
481 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
485 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
486 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
487 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
489 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
490 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
491 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
493 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
497 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
499 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
503 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
505 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
506 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
511 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
512 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
514 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
515 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
516 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
517 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
518 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
520 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
521 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
522 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
523 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
525 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
529 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
530 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
535 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
537 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
539 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
544 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
546 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
550 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
551 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
552 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
554 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
555 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
556 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
557 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
559 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
560 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
561 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
562 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
563 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
566 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
571 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
572 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
573 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
574 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
575 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
578 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
582 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
585 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
586 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
590 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
591 function (not just method). (doy)
595 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
596 and aren't easily installable/testable.
598 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
602 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
603 to be overridden more easily (doy).
605 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
609 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
610 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
612 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
616 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
617 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
618 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
620 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
624 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
625 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
626 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
628 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
629 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
633 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
634 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
636 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
637 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
641 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
642 is applied to a class (t0m).
644 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
645 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
647 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
650 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
651 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
653 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
654 be much more robust. (doy)
656 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
658 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
661 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
665 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
666 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
668 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
672 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
673 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
675 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
678 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
679 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
680 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
682 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
683 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
684 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
687 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
689 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
693 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
694 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
698 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
700 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
704 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
705 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
709 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
710 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
714 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
716 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
720 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
721 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
725 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
726 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
730 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
731 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
733 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
737 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
738 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
739 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
742 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
746 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
747 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
748 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
749 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
751 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
755 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
756 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
757 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
761 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
764 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
768 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
769 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
770 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
774 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
775 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
777 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
778 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
779 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
780 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
782 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
786 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
790 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
791 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
793 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
794 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
795 - Moose::Util::does_role
796 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
797 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
798 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
800 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
804 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
805 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
806 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
809 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
813 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
814 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
817 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
821 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
822 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
825 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
829 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
831 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
832 class. (Dave Rolsky).
834 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
835 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
836 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
838 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
839 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
840 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
843 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
844 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
846 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
847 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
848 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
850 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
852 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
853 substr et al, again. (sorear)
855 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
857 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
860 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
861 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
863 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
864 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
866 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
867 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
868 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
869 dependencies installed.
871 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
872 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
875 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
877 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
881 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
883 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
884 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
885 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
887 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
888 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
889 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
891 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
892 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
895 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
896 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
897 others. (nothingmuch)
899 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
900 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
901 remove_accessors. (doy)
903 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
904 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
905 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
907 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
908 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
910 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
911 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
912 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
913 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
916 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
917 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
919 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
920 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
922 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
924 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
925 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
928 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
929 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
930 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
931 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
932 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
934 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
935 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
936 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
937 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
938 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
939 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
940 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
943 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
944 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
945 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
946 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
947 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
949 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
950 which were not receiving the value of
951 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
952 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
953 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
954 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
958 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
959 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
960 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
961 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
962 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
965 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
966 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
967 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
968 - added tests for this (Stevan)
971 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
972 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
973 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
976 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
977 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
978 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
980 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
981 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
982 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
985 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
986 class if you pass it options for
987 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
988 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
989 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
990 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
991 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
992 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
993 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
994 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
995 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
997 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
998 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
999 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
1000 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
1001 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
1004 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
1005 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1006 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
1007 existing delegation API. (hdp)
1009 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1010 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
1011 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
1012 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
1013 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
1014 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
1017 * Moose::Error::Croak
1018 * Moose::Error::Confess
1019 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
1020 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
1023 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
1026 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
1027 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
1028 installing a broken sub. (doy)
1030 * Moose::Meta::Class
1031 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
1034 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
1035 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1036 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
1038 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1039 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1040 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
1041 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
1042 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
1044 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1045 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
1048 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
1050 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1051 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1054 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1055 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1057 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1058 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1059 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1060 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1062 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1063 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1064 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1065 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1066 using it for new code!
1068 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1069 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1070 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1071 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1073 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1074 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1075 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1076 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1077 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1078 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1079 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1080 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1083 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1086 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1087 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1090 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1091 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1093 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1094 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1095 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1097 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1098 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1099 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1100 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1102 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1103 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1104 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1106 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1107 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1108 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1111 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1112 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1113 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1114 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1115 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1116 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1118 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1120 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1123 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1124 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1125 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1127 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1128 associated_methods. (hdp)
1129 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1130 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1131 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1132 misspelled) arguments
1134 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1135 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1136 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1137 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1139 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1140 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1141 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1143 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1146 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1147 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1148 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1151 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1152 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1154 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1155 * Moose::Meta::Class
1156 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1157 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1159 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1160 * Moose::Manual::Types
1161 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1162 string parsing rathole (mst)
1164 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1165 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1166 using plain objects instead
1168 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1169 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1170 that's what we need.
1172 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1173 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1174 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1175 three times today (perigrin)
1176 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1177 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1179 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1180 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1181 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1182 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1185 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1186 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1187 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1188 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1189 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1190 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1193 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1194 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1195 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1196 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1199 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1201 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1204 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1206 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1209 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1210 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1211 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1215 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1216 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1219 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1220 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1222 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1223 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1224 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1226 * Moose::Unsweetened
1227 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1229 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1230 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1233 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1237 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1238 methods during global destruction (doy)
1240 * Moose::Meta::Class
1241 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1242 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1243 consumption (Sartak)
1245 * Moose::Meta::Class
1246 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1247 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1250 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1251 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1254 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1255 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1257 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1259 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1263 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1264 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1265 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1268 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1269 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1270 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1273 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1275 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1276 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1277 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1280 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1281 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1282 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1283 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1285 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1286 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1287 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1290 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1293 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1294 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1295 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1299 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1300 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1302 * Moose::Meta::Class
1303 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1305 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1307 * Moose::Meta::Class
1308 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1309 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1312 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1313 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1316 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1317 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1320 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1323 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1325 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1326 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1329 * Moose::Meta::Class
1330 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1332 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1333 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1336 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1337 * More deprecations and renamings
1338 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1339 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1340 when an object is constructed)
1343 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1344 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1345 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1347 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1348 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1349 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1350 feature, and it works again.
1353 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1355 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1357 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1358 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1359 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1361 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1362 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1363 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1364 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1365 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1367 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1368 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1369 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1370 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1371 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1374 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1375 metaclass object. (hdp)
1377 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1378 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1379 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1380 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1381 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1382 point out this fact. (hdp)
1384 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1385 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1387 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1388 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1390 * Moose::Meta::Class
1391 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1392 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1393 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1394 called during instance construction were passed the
1395 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1396 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1398 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1399 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1402 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1403 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1404 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1407 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1408 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1409 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1410 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1411 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1413 - Moose::Meta::Class
1414 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1416 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1417 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1418 when an object is constructed)
1419 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1421 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1422 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1423 when an object is constructed)
1424 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1425 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1426 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1429 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1431 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1432 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1434 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1436 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1437 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1438 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1440 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1441 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1442 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1444 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1446 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1447 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1449 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1450 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1453 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1454 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1457 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1458 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1459 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1461 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1462 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1466 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1467 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1468 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1470 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1471 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1474 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1475 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1476 with recommended workarounds.
1478 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1479 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1481 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1482 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1483 (yes, spelled like that).
1485 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1486 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1488 * Moose::Meta::Class
1489 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1490 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1492 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1494 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1495 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1496 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1497 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1498 instead. Reported by doy.
1500 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1502 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1503 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1505 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1506 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1507 message) is now deprecated.
1508 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1509 often got it wrong. For example:
1511 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1513 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1517 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1518 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1519 bite you in weird cases.
1521 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1522 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1523 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1524 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1526 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1527 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1531 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1534 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1535 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1538 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1539 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1541 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1542 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1545 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1546 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1547 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1548 - added tests for this (stevan)
1550 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1551 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1552 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1553 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1557 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1558 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1559 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1560 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1562 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1563 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1564 - added tests for this (rafl)
1566 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1567 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1568 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1569 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1573 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1574 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1577 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1578 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1579 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1581 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1583 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1584 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1586 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1587 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1588 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1589 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1590 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1592 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1593 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1594 error message did not specify the attribute name
1597 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1599 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1601 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1602 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1603 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1605 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1606 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1609 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1611 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1612 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1613 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1614 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1616 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1618 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1619 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1620 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1621 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1623 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1624 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1625 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1627 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1628 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1629 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1630 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1631 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1633 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1634 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1635 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1636 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1637 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1639 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1640 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1641 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1642 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1643 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1644 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1646 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1647 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1648 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1649 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1650 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1651 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1653 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1654 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1656 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1657 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1658 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1659 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1661 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1662 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1665 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1669 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1670 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1672 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1673 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1674 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1675 guts. (nothingmuch).
1677 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1678 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1679 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1681 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1682 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1683 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1684 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1686 * Moose::Meta::Class
1687 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1690 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1691 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1693 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1694 * Moose::Unsweetened
1695 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1698 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1699 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1700 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1701 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1702 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1703 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1705 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1706 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1707 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1708 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1709 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1710 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1711 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1712 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1713 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1714 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1716 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1718 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1719 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1721 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1722 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1723 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1724 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1726 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1727 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1728 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1729 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1730 same methods for a single role did not work
1731 right (worked just fine with multiple
1733 - added test for this (stevan)
1735 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1736 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1737 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1740 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1741 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1742 - added test for this (t0m)
1745 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1746 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1747 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1749 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1750 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1751 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1752 - added test for this (t0m)
1754 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1755 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1756 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1757 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1758 - added test for this (perigrin)
1761 - create method for constructing a role
1762 dynamically (Sartak)
1763 - added test for this (Sartak)
1764 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1765 - added test for this (Sartak)
1768 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1770 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1771 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1772 methods is useful (Sartak)
1774 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1775 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1776 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1779 * Moose::Meta::Class
1780 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1781 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1782 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1783 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1784 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1785 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1788 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1789 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1791 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1792 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1793 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1794 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1795 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1797 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1799 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1800 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1801 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1804 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1805 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1806 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1807 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1808 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1809 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1812 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1813 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1814 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1815 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1816 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1817 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1818 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1819 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1820 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1821 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1822 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1824 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1825 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1828 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1829 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1830 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1831 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1832 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1834 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1836 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1837 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1838 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1840 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1841 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1843 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1844 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1845 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1846 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1849 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1850 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1852 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1854 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1855 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1857 * Moose::Meta::Class
1858 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1859 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1860 a required attribute
1862 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1863 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1864 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1865 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1867 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1868 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1870 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1871 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1872 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1873 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1874 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1875 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1876 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1877 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1879 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1880 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1881 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1883 * Roles and role application
1884 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1885 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1886 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1887 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1888 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1890 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1891 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1894 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1895 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1896 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1897 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1898 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1901 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1902 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1903 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1904 changes in the Moose internals.
1906 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1907 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1908 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1911 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1912 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1913 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1914 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1916 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1917 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1918 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1919 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1921 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1922 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1923 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1924 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1925 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1926 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1927 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1928 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1929 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1930 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1931 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1932 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1933 constraint implementations.
1935 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1939 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1940 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1941 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1942 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1943 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1944 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1945 - added tests for this (rafl)
1947 * Moose::Meta::Class
1948 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1949 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1950 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1951 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1952 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1953 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1954 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1955 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1958 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1959 - added tests for this (thepler)
1961 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1962 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1963 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1964 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1967 * Moose::Meta::Class
1968 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1969 * Moose::Meta::Method
1972 * Moose::Error::Default
1973 * Moose::Error::Croak
1974 * Moose::Error::Confess
1975 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1976 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1977 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1978 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1979 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1980 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1982 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1984 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1985 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1987 * Moose::Unsweetened
1988 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1989 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1990 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1992 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1993 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1994 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1995 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1996 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1999 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
2000 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
2002 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
2003 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
2004 several major changes in this release of Moose.
2005 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
2008 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
2010 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
2011 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
2013 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
2016 - Various bug fixes.
2018 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
2019 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
2021 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
2023 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
2024 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2025 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2026 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
2027 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
2028 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
2030 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2031 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
2032 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
2034 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
2035 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
2036 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
2039 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
2040 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
2041 dependency to 0.64_07.
2043 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
2044 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
2045 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
2047 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2048 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
2051 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2052 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
2053 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
2054 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
2055 coincidental exception. (t0m).
2056 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2058 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2059 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
2061 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2063 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ

2085 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
2087 - added test for this (t0m)
2090 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"

2179 ... this is not my day today ...
2181 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2182 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2183 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2184 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2185 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2188 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2189 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2190 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2191 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2192 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2195 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2197 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2198 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)

2230 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2231 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2232 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2233 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2234 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2235 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2236 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2237 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2238 - added tests for this
2240 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2241 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to

2758 Thanks to Sartak for finding this ;)
2759 - added tests for this (Sartak again)
2761 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2762 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2763 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2764 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2765 Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion

2768 - type constraint handling
2769 - error handling/messages
2770 (thanks to nothingmuch)
2772 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2773 - added this module to support the refactor
2774 in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized
2776 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized
2777 - refactored how these types are handled so they
2778 are more generic and not confined to ArrayRef
2782 - shortened some file names for better VMS support (RT #32381)
2784 0.33 Fri. Dec. 14, 2007
2785 !! Moose now loads 2 x faster !!
2786 !! with new Class::MOP 0.49 !!
2788 ++ new oose.pm module to make command line
2789 Moose-ness easier (see POD docs for more)

2801 HashRef for containers (sartak)
2802 - added tests for this
2804 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2805 - coercions will now create subtypes as needed
2806 so you can now add coercions to parameterized
2807 types without having to explictly define them
2808 - added tests for this
2810 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2811 - allow subclasses to decide whether we need
2812 to copy the value into a new variable (sartak)
2814 0.32 Tues. Dec. 4, 2007
2815 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2816 - fixing how subtype aliases of unions work
2817 they should inherit the parent's coercion
2818 - added tests for this
2819 - you can now define multiple coercions on
2820 a single type at different times instead of
2821 having to do it all in one place
2822 - added tests for this
2824 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2825 - there is now a default constraint of sub { 1 }
2826 instead of Moose::Util::TypeConstraints setting
2829 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2830 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2831 - added the &has_coercion_for_type and
2832 &add_type_coercions methods to support the
2833 new features above (although you cannot add
2834 more type coercions for Union types)
2836 0.31 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
2837 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2838 - made the +attr syntax handle extending types with

2840 now works if the original foo is an ArrayRef.
2841 - added tests for this.
2842 - delegation now works even if the attribute does not
2843 have a reader method using the get_read_method_ref
2844 method from Class::MOP::Attribute.
2845 - added tests for this
2846 - added docs for this
2848 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2849 - passing no "additional attribute info" to
2850 &find_or_create_type_constraint will no longer
2851 attempt to create an __ANON__ type for you,
2852 instead it will just return undef.
2853 - added docs for this
2855 0.30 Fri. Nov. 23, 2007

2866 - fixed it so that subtype 'Foo' => as 'HashRef[Int]' ...
2867 with work correctly.
2868 - added tests for this
2871 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2872 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code
2875 - New tests for builder bug. Upon instantiation, if an
2876 attribute had a builder, no value and was not lazy the
2877 builder default was not getting run, oops. (groditi)
2879 0.29 Tues. Nov. 13, 2007
2880 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

2910 * fixing some misc. bits in the docs that
2911 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
2914 - fixed how required methods are handled
2915 when they encounter overriden or modified
2916 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2917 - added tests for this
2919 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2920 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2921 the | always creates a union and so is
2922 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2923 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2925 - added more tests for this
2927 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2930 * Parameterized Types
2931 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2932 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2933 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2934 They can also be nested:
2935 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2936 And work with the type unions as well:
2937 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2939 * Better Framework Extendability
2940 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2941 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2942 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2943 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2946 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2947 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2948 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2949 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2952 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2954 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
2955 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)
2958 - added all the meta classes to the immutable list and
2959 set it to inline the accessors

2985 - fixed issue with generated accessor code making
2986 assumptions about hash based classes (thanks to dexter)
2988 * Moose::Coookbook::Snacks
2989 - these are bits of documentation, not quite as big as
2990 Recipes but which have no clear place in the module docs.
2991 So they are Snacks! (horray for castaway++)
2993 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe4
2994 - updated it to use the new ArrayRef[MyType] construct
2995 - updated the accompanying test as well
2997 +++ Major Refactor of the Type Constraint system +++
2998 +++ with new features added as well +++
3000 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
3001 - no longer uses package variable to keep track of
3002 the type constraints, now uses the an instance of
3003 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry to do it
3004 - added more sophisticated type notation parsing
3006 - added tests for this
3008 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint

3014 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
3015 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3017 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
3018 - this has been added to service the newly refactored
3019 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union and is itself
3020 a subclass of Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion

3034 (thanks to shlomif).
3036 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3037 - required attributes now will no longer accept undef
3038 from the constructor, even if there is a default and lazy
3039 - added tests for this

3042 - added tests for this
3044 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3045 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
3046 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor

3082 - added support for roles to be given as parameters
3083 to the 'handles' option.
3084 - added tests and docs for this

3087 (but not changing the handles option)
3088 - added tests and docs for this
3091 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
3092 so that required methods can come from superclasses
3093 - adjusted tests for this
3095 0.23 Mon. June 18, 2007
3096 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
3097 - fix inlined constructor for hierarchy with multiple BUILD methods (mst)

3103 the other side (perigrin)
3105 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
3106 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3107 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3108 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
3109 prototypes for functions
3110 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
3111 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

3121 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
3124 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
3125 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
3126 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
3127 - added tests for this
3129 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
3131 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

3149 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
3150 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
3152 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
3153 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
3155 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
3156 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
3157 so this release is just to fix that.
3160 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
3161 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
3162 (thanks to konobi for this)
3163 - added tests and docs
3165 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
3166 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
3168 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3169 - 'type' now supports messages as well
3170 thanks to phaylon for finding this
3171 - added tests for this
3172 - added &list_all_type_constraints and
3173 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
3174 functions to facilitate introspection.
3176 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3177 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
3178 to build the list of delegated methods
3179 correctly (and not override important
3180 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
3182 - added tests and docs for this
3183 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3184 so that you can actually document your
3185 attributes and inspect them through the
3187 - added tests and docs for this
3189 * Moose::Meta::Class
3190 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3191 it will first look in for the class in the
3192 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3193 then default to just loading $name.
3194 - added tests and docs for this
3196 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3197 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3198 - added test for this
3201 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
3202 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
3203 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3204 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3206 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3207 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3210 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3212 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3213 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3214 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3217 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3218 !! for this developer release to work !!
3220 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3221 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3222 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3223 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3224 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3225 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3226 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3227 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3228 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3229 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3230 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3232 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3233 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3234 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3235 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3238 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3239 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3240 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3241 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3242 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3244 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3246 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3247 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3250 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3251 called unless they actually need to be.
3252 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3253 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3254 DEMOLISH method present.
3256 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3257 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3258 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3259 type constraint, which allows for a
3260 hand optimized version of the type
3261 constraint to be used when possible.
3262 - Any internally created type constraints
3263 now provide an optimized version as well.
3265 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3267 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3268 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3269 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3271 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3272 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3273 your class namespace of these exported
3276 * Moose::Meta::Class
3277 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3278 comes up during global destruction
3280 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3284 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3287 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3288 - changed how we do type checks so that
3289 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3292 - moved accessor generation methods to
3293 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3294 conform to the API changes from
3297 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3298 - changed how constraints are compiled
3299 so that we do less recursion and more
3300 iteration. This makes the type check
3302 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3305 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3306 - created this from methods formerly found in
3307 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3309 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3310 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3312 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3313 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3315 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3316 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3318 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3320 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3321 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3322 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3323 - added tests for this
3324 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3325 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3326 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3327 - removed tests for this
3329 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3331 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3332 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3333 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3336 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3337 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3338 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3340 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3341 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3342 comments for more info.
3345 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3346 asked questions and common problems
3348 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3349 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3350 - added tests for this
3352 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3353 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3354 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3355 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3357 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3358 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3361 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3362 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3363 is much appreciated :)
3364 - added tests for this
3366 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3367 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3368 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3371 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3372 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3374 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3376 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3377 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3381 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3382 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3383 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3385 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3387 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3390 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3391 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3392 keywords because we need to localize them.
3393 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3395 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3396 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3397 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3400 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3403 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3404 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3405 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3408 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3409 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3410 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3412 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3414 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3415 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3416 bottom of your class file.
3419 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3422 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3424 - improved error message when loading modules so
3425 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3426 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3427 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3430 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3431 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3432 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3434 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3435 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3437 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3438 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3439 turn them on for you.
3440 - added tests for this
3441 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3442 in Moose::Meta::Class
3445 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
3446 automatically turned on for you.

3469 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3470 - This release works in combination with
3471 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3472 release because it uses the a new
3473 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3474 complete Role implementation. It has
3475 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3476 the the previous CPAN version. This
3477 release also lacks good updated docs,
3478 the official release will have updated docs.
3481 - refactored the keyword exports
3482 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3483 accepts more than one Role at a time
3484 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3485 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3488 - refactored the keyword exports
3489 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3490 accepts more than one Role at a time
3492 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3493 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3494 string enumerations which can be used as
3496 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3499 - more careful checking of params to new()
3502 - much work done on the role composition
3503 - many new tests for conflict detection
3504 and composition edge cases
3505 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3506 looking at the tests
3508 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3509 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3510 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3512 * Moose::Meta::Class
3513 - some small changes to support the new
3515 - some small additions to support Roles
3517 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3518 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3520 - some small changes to support the new
3522 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3523 with the 'handles' option
3524 - added several tests for this
3525 - no docs for this yet

3529 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3530 thanks to chansen for this commit
3531 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3532 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3533 on a per-attribute basis
3534 - added tests for this
3535 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3536 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3537 experimental feature and probably not finished
