1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * The Moose::Exporter module now has a "meta_lookup" option when creating an
9 importer. This allows you to specify an alternate method for determining
10 the metaclass of a caller. This is useful for modules like
11 MooseX::Role::Parameterized which generate new metaclasses on the
16 * Validating duck_type type constraint turned out to work only by accident,
17 and only when not running under the debugger. This has been fixed.
20 * When specifying an attribute trait, passing options for the trait besides
21 -alias or -excludes caused a warning. However, passing other options is
22 totally valid when using MooseX::Role::Parameterized. (sartak)
26 * The optimize_as option for type constraints has been deprecated. Use the
27 inline_as option to provide inlining code instead. (Dave Rolsky)
29 2.0202 Tue, Jul 26, 2011
33 * Be more consistent about how type constraint messages are handled.
35 2.0201 Fri, Jul 22, 2011
39 * Moose::Util::does_role shouldn't call ->does on things that don't inherit
42 * Make ->does initialize the metaclass, so that calling it as a class method
43 on a class which sets up inheritance via some method other than extends
44 works properly (this fixes an issue with MooseX::Types).
46 * Make Dist::CheckConflicts a runtime requirement, so moose-outdated always
49 2.0200 Mon, Jul 18, 2011
53 * No changes from 2.0105 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
55 2.0105-TRIAL Mon, Jun 27, 2011
59 * Moose::Util::does_role now respects overridden ->does methods. (doy)
61 2.0104-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
65 * Include changes from 2.0010.
67 2.0103-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
71 * Several things that have been deprecated for a while have been removed. See
72 the 2.0000 section in Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
76 * New Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::union function for creating union type
77 constraints without having to rely on the string type constraint parsing.
78 This also allows for creating unions of anonymous type constraints.
83 * Include changes from Moose 2.0009.
85 2.0102-TRIAL Sat, Jun 18, 2011
89 * The native Array trait now has a 'first_index' method, which works just
90 like the version in List::MoreUtils. (Karen Etheridge)
92 * Clean up some internal code to help out extensions.
96 * Include changes from Moose 2.0008.
98 2.0101-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
102 * Various packaging issues.
104 2.0100-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
108 * Using a hand-optimized type constraint is now deprecated. In keeping with
109 our release policy, this won't actually start warning until the 2.0200
114 * Type constraints can now provide inlined versions, which should make
115 inlined code which uses type constraints (such as accessors) faster. This
116 replaces the existing hand-optimized constraint feature. (Dave Rolsky)
120 * Remove a lot of cases where generated methods closed over meta objects.
121 Most simple cases should now only close over simple data types and
122 coderefs. This should make deparsing simpler.
124 2.0010 Mon, Jun 20, 2011
128 * Fix regression in 2.0009 and 2.0103 when applying roles during init_meta in
129 an exporter that also re-exports Moose or Moose::Role. (t0m, ilmari)
131 2.0009 Sun, Jun 19, 2011
135 * duck_type type constraints now report reasonable errors when given
136 something which isn't an instance of an object. (t0m)
138 * Moose::Util::apply_all_roles now works even if the applicant is a non-Moose
141 * When an object is reblessed, triggers are called on attributes that are
142 set during the reblessing. (Karen Etheridge).
146 * Better error message if Moose->init_meta is called with a 'metaclass'
147 option when that metaclass hasn't been loaded. (jasonmay)
149 2.0008 Thu, Jun 16, 2011
153 * The 'accessor' native delegation for hashrefs now allows setting the value
154 to undef. (sugoik, doy)
158 * Various generated methods have more useful context information. (doy)
160 2.0007 Sun, May 15, 2011
164 * Make sure weak attributes remain weak when cloning. (doy, rafl)
166 2.0006 Mon, May 09, 2011
170 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
171 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
173 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
177 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
179 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
183 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
185 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
186 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
188 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
192 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
193 skips every other role. (rjbs)
195 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
196 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
197 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
198 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
199 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
201 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
205 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
206 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
207 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
210 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
215 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
217 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
218 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
220 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
224 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
225 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
226 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
230 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
231 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
233 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
234 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
236 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
237 environments. (doy, mateu)
239 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
243 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
244 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
245 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
246 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
250 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
251 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
253 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
257 * Update conflicts list.
260 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
264 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
265 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
266 details. (Dave Rolsky)
268 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
269 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
270 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
271 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
272 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
276 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
277 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
278 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
279 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
280 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
283 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
287 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
288 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
290 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
293 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
297 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
298 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
299 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
300 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
302 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
303 immutable classes). (mo)
305 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
306 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
307 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
309 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
313 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
315 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
317 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
321 * Fix some indexing issues.
323 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
325 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
329 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
330 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
331 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
332 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
333 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
335 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
336 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
341 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
342 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
343 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
344 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
346 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
347 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
348 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
352 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
353 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
356 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
360 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
361 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
365 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
369 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
370 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
371 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
372 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
375 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
379 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
382 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
386 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
387 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
388 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
391 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
395 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
396 policy. (Chris Prather)
398 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
399 on this new support policy. (doy)
403 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
404 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
405 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
407 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
408 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
410 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
414 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
415 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
416 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
417 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
420 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
424 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
425 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
428 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
432 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
433 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
435 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
436 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
440 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
441 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
442 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
443 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
444 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
445 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
447 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
448 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
450 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
451 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
452 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
453 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
455 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
456 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
458 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
463 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
464 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
466 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
470 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
471 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
472 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
474 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
478 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
479 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
480 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
482 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
483 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
486 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
487 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
490 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
491 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
492 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
494 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
495 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
500 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
501 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
502 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
503 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
505 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
506 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
508 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
509 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
511 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
512 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
513 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
514 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
516 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
517 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
518 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
521 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
522 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
523 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
524 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
526 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
527 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
530 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
531 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
532 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
534 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
538 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
539 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
540 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
542 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
543 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
544 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
547 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
548 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
549 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
551 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
552 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
553 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
555 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
556 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
560 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
561 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
562 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
564 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
565 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
566 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
567 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
569 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
573 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
574 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
575 value is a reference.
577 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
578 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
580 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
584 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
585 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
586 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
588 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
592 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
593 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
597 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
598 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
599 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
601 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
602 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
603 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
605 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
609 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
611 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
615 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
617 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
618 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
623 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
624 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
626 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
627 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
628 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
629 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
630 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
632 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
633 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
634 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
635 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
637 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
641 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
642 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
647 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
649 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
651 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
656 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
658 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
662 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
663 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
664 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
666 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
667 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
668 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
669 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
671 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
672 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
673 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
674 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
675 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
678 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
683 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
684 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
685 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
686 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
687 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
690 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
694 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
697 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
698 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
702 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
703 function (not just method). (doy)
707 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
708 and aren't easily installable/testable.
710 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
714 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
715 to be overridden more easily (doy).
717 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
721 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
722 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
724 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
728 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
729 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
730 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
732 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
736 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
737 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
738 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
740 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
741 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
745 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
746 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
748 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
749 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
753 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
754 is applied to a class (t0m).
756 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
757 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
759 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
762 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
763 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
765 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
766 be much more robust. (doy)
768 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
770 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
773 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
777 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
778 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
780 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
784 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
785 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
787 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
790 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
791 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
792 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
794 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
795 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
796 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
799 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
801 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
805 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
806 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
810 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
812 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
816 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
817 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
821 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
822 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
826 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
828 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
832 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
833 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
837 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
838 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
842 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
843 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
845 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
849 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
850 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
851 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
854 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
858 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
859 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
860 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
861 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
863 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
867 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
868 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
869 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
873 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
876 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
880 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
881 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
882 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
886 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
887 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
889 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
890 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
891 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
892 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
894 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
898 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
902 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
903 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
905 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
906 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
907 - Moose::Util::does_role
908 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
909 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
910 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
912 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
916 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
917 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
918 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
921 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
925 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
926 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
929 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
933 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
934 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
937 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
941 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
943 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
944 class. (Dave Rolsky).
946 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
947 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
948 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
950 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
951 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
952 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
955 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
956 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
958 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
959 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
960 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
962 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
964 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
965 substr et al, again. (sorear)
967 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
969 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
972 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
973 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
975 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
976 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
978 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
979 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
980 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
981 dependencies installed.
983 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
984 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
987 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
989 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
993 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
995 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
996 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
997 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
999 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1000 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
1001 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
1003 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
1004 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
1007 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
1008 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
1009 others. (nothingmuch)
1011 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1012 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
1013 remove_accessors. (doy)
1015 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1016 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
1017 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
1019 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
1020 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
1022 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
1023 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1024 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
1025 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
1027 * Moose::Meta::Class
1028 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
1029 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
1031 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1032 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
1034 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
1036 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
1037 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
1040 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1041 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
1042 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
1043 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
1044 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
1046 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
1047 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
1048 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
1049 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
1050 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
1051 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
1052 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
1055 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
1056 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
1057 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
1058 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
1059 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
1061 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
1062 which were not receiving the value of
1063 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
1064 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
1065 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
1066 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
1070 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
1071 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
1072 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
1073 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
1074 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
1077 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1078 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
1079 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
1080 - added tests for this (Stevan)
1082 * Moose::Meta::Class
1083 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
1084 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
1085 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
1088 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
1089 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1090 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
1092 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1093 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
1094 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
1097 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
1098 class if you pass it options for
1099 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
1100 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
1101 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
1102 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
1103 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
1104 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
1105 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
1106 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
1107 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
1109 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1110 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
1111 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
1112 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
1113 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
1116 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
1117 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1118 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
1119 existing delegation API. (hdp)
1121 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1122 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
1123 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
1124 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
1125 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
1126 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
1129 * Moose::Error::Croak
1130 * Moose::Error::Confess
1131 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
1132 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
1135 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
1138 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
1139 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
1140 installing a broken sub. (doy)
1142 * Moose::Meta::Class
1143 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
1146 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
1147 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1148 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
1150 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1151 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1152 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
1153 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
1154 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
1156 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1157 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
1160 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
1162 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1163 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1166 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1167 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1169 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1170 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1171 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1172 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1174 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1175 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1176 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1177 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1178 using it for new code!
1180 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1181 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1182 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1183 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1185 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1186 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1187 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1188 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1189 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1190 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1191 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1192 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1195 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1198 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1199 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1202 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1203 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1205 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1206 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1207 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1209 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1210 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1211 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1212 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1214 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1215 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1216 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1218 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1219 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1220 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1223 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1224 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1225 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1226 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1227 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1228 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1230 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1232 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1235 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1236 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1237 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1239 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1240 associated_methods. (hdp)
1241 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1242 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1243 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1244 misspelled) arguments
1246 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1247 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1248 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1249 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1251 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1252 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1253 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1255 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1258 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1259 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1260 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1263 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1264 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1266 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1267 * Moose::Meta::Class
1268 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1269 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1271 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1272 * Moose::Manual::Types
1273 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1274 string parsing rathole (mst)
1276 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1277 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1278 using plain objects instead
1280 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1281 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1282 that's what we need.
1284 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1285 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1286 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1287 three times today (perigrin)
1288 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1289 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1291 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1292 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1293 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1294 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1297 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1298 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1299 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1300 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1301 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1302 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1305 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1306 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1307 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1308 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1311 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1313 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1316 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1318 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1321 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1322 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1323 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1327 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1328 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1331 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1332 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1334 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1335 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1336 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1338 * Moose::Unsweetened
1339 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1341 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1342 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1345 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1349 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1350 methods during global destruction (doy)
1352 * Moose::Meta::Class
1353 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1354 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1355 consumption (Sartak)
1357 * Moose::Meta::Class
1358 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1359 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1362 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1363 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1366 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1367 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1369 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1371 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1375 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1376 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1377 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1380 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1381 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1382 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1385 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1387 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1388 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1389 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1392 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1393 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1394 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1395 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1397 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1398 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1399 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1402 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1405 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1406 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1407 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1411 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1412 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1414 * Moose::Meta::Class
1415 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1417 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1419 * Moose::Meta::Class
1420 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1421 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1424 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1425 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1428 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1429 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1432 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1435 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1437 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1438 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1441 * Moose::Meta::Class
1442 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1444 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1445 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1448 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1449 * More deprecations and renamings
1450 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1451 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1452 when an object is constructed)
1455 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1456 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1457 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1459 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1460 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1461 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1462 feature, and it works again.
1465 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1467 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1469 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1470 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1471 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1473 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1474 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1475 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1476 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1477 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1479 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1480 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1481 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1482 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1483 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1486 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1487 metaclass object. (hdp)
1489 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1490 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1491 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1492 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1493 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1494 point out this fact. (hdp)
1496 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1497 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1499 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1500 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1502 * Moose::Meta::Class
1503 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1504 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1505 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1506 called during instance construction were passed the
1507 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1508 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1510 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1511 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1514 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1515 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1516 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1519 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1520 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1521 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1522 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1523 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1525 - Moose::Meta::Class
1526 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1528 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1529 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1530 when an object is constructed)
1531 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1533 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1534 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1535 when an object is constructed)
1536 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1537 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1538 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1541 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1543 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1544 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1546 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1548 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1549 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1550 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1552 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1553 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1554 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1556 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1558 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1559 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1561 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1562 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1565 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1566 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1569 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1570 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1571 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1573 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1574 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1578 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1579 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1580 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1582 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1583 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1586 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1587 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1588 with recommended workarounds.
1590 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1591 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1593 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1594 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1595 (yes, spelled like that).
1597 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1598 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1600 * Moose::Meta::Class
1601 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1602 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1604 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1606 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1607 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1608 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1609 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1610 instead. Reported by doy.
1612 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1614 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1615 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1617 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1618 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1619 message) is now deprecated.
1620 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1621 often got it wrong. For example:
1623 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1625 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1629 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1630 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1631 bite you in weird cases.
1633 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1634 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1635 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1636 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1638 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1639 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1643 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1646 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1647 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1650 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1651 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1653 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1654 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1657 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1658 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1659 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1660 - added tests for this (stevan)
1662 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1663 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1664 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1665 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1669 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1670 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1671 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1672 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1674 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1675 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1676 - added tests for this (rafl)
1678 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1679 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1680 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1681 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1685 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1686 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1689 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1690 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1691 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1693 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1695 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1696 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1698 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1699 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1700 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1701 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1702 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1704 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1705 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1706 error message did not specify the attribute name
1709 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1711 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1713 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1714 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1715 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1717 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1718 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1721 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1723 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1724 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1725 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1726 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1728 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1730 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1731 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1732 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1733 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1735 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1736 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1737 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1739 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1740 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1741 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1742 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1743 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1745 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1746 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1747 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1748 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1749 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1751 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1752 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1753 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1754 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1755 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1756 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1758 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1759 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1760 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1761 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1762 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1763 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1765 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1766 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1768 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1769 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1770 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1771 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1773 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1774 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1777 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1781 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1782 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1784 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1785 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1786 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1787 guts. (nothingmuch).
1789 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1790 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1791 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1793 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1794 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1795 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1796 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1798 * Moose::Meta::Class
1799 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1802 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1803 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1805 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1806 * Moose::Unsweetened
1807 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1810 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1811 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1812 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1813 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1814 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1815 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1817 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1818 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1819 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1820 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1821 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1822 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1823 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1824 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1825 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1826 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1828 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1830 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1831 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1833 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1834 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1835 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1836 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1838 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1839 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1840 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1841 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1842 same methods for a single role did not work
1843 right (worked just fine with multiple
1845 - added test for this (stevan)
1847 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1848 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1849 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1852 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1853 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1854 - added test for this (t0m)
1857 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1858 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1859 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1861 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1862 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1863 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1864 - added test for this (t0m)
1866 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1867 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1868 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1869 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1870 - added test for this (perigrin)
1873 - create method for constructing a role
1874 dynamically (Sartak)
1875 - added test for this (Sartak)
1876 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1877 - added test for this (Sartak)
1880 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1882 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1883 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1884 methods is useful (Sartak)
1886 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1887 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1888 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1891 * Moose::Meta::Class
1892 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1893 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1894 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1895 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1896 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1897 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1900 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1901 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1903 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1904 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1905 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1906 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1907 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1909 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1911 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1912 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1913 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1916 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1917 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1918 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1919 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1920 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1921 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1924 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1925 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1926 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1927 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1928 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1929 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1930 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1931 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1932 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1933 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1934 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1936 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1937 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1940 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1941 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1942 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1943 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1944 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1946 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1948 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1949 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1950 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1952 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1953 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1955 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1956 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1957 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1958 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1961 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1962 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1964 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1966 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1967 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1969 * Moose::Meta::Class
1970 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1971 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1972 a required attribute
1974 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1975 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1976 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1977 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1979 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1980 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1982 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1983 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1984 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1985 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1986 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1987 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1988 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1989 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1991 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1992 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1993 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1995 * Roles and role application
1996 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1997 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1998 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1999 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
2000 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
2002 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
2003 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
2006 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
2007 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
2008 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
2009 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
2010 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
2013 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
2014 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
2015 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
2016 changes in the Moose internals.
2018 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
2019 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2020 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
2023 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2024 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
2025 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
2026 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
2028 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2029 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
2030 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
2031 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
2033 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2034 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
2035 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
2036 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
2037 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
2038 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
2039 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
2040 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
2041 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
2042 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
2043 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
2044 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
2045 constraint implementations.
2047 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
2051 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
2052 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
2053 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
2054 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
2055 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
2056 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
2057 - added tests for this (rafl)
2059 * Moose::Meta::Class
2060 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
2061 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
2062 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
2063 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
2064 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
2065 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
2066 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
2067 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
2070 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
2071 - added tests for this (thepler)
2073 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2074 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
2075 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
2076 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
2079 * Moose::Meta::Class
2080 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2081 * Moose::Meta::Method
2084 * Moose::Error::Default
2085 * Moose::Error::Croak
2086 * Moose::Error::Confess
2087 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
2088 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
2089 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
2090 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
2091 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
2092 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
2094 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
2096 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
2097 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
2099 * Moose::Unsweetened
2100 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
2101 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
2102 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
2104 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2105 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
2106 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
2107 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
2108 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2111 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
2112 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
2114 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
2115 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
2116 several major changes in this release of Moose.
2117 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the

2153 dependency to 0.64_07.
2155 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
2156 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
2157 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
2159 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2160 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
2163 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2164 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
2165 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
2166 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
2167 coincidental exception. (t0m).
2168 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2170 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2171 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
2173 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2175 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
2176 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"

2193 - added test for this (t0m)
2195 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2196 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
2197 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
2199 - added test for this (t0m)
2202 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
2203 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
2204 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
2207 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
2208 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
2210 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'

2213 easier (Dave Rolsky)
2215 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1

2247 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
2249 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
2250 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2251 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
2252 created so that the process can be more easily
2253 overridden by subclasses (stevan)

2291 ... this is not my day today ...
2293 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2294 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2295 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2296 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2297 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2300 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2301 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2302 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2303 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2304 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2307 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2309 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2310 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)

2342 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2343 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2344 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2345 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2346 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2347 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2348 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2349 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2350 - added tests for this
2352 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2353 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
2354 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very

2455 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2456 - added more descriptive error message to help
2457 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
2458 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
2460 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
2462 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
2463 XS based functionality is now optional
2464 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2465 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2466 can now be used to force non-XS versions

2545 working correctly, it still kind of
2546 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
2547 - added tests for this

2569 drink more coffee before
2570 doing release engineering
2572 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,

2687 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2689 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

2729 from a role, it works and makes sense too.
2731 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2732 - fix handles so that it doesn't return nothing
2733 when the method cannot be found, not sure why

2980 - added tests for this
2983 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2984 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

3026 - fixed how required methods are handled
3027 when they encounter overriden or modified
3028 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
3029 - added tests for this
3031 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
3032 - fixed the type notation parser so that
3033 the | always creates a union and so is
3034 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
3035 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
3037 - added more tests for this
3039 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
3042 * Parameterized Types
3043 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
3044 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
3045 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
3046 They can also be nested:
3047 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
3048 And work with the type unions as well:
3049 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
3051 * Better Framework Extendability
3052 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
3053 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
3054 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
3055 section of the Moose.pm docs.
3058 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
3059 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
3060 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
3061 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
3064 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
3066 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
3067 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)

3127 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3129 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union

3220 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
3221 prototypes for functions
3222 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
3223 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

3295 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3296 so that you can actually document your
3297 attributes and inspect them through the

3301 * Moose::Meta::Class
3302 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3303 it will first look in for the class in the
3304 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3305 then default to just loading $name.
3306 - added tests and docs for this
3308 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3309 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3310 - added test for this

3315 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3316 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3318 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3319 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3322 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3324 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3325 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3326 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3329 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3330 !! for this developer release to work !!
3332 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3333 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3334 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3335 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3336 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3337 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3338 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3339 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3340 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3341 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3342 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3344 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3345 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3346 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3347 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3350 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3351 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3352 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3353 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3354 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3356 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3358 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3359 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3362 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3363 called unless they actually need to be.
3364 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3365 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3366 DEMOLISH method present.
3368 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3369 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3370 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3371 type constraint, which allows for a
3372 hand optimized version of the type
3373 constraint to be used when possible.
3374 - Any internally created type constraints
3375 now provide an optimized version as well.
3377 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3379 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3380 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3381 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3383 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3384 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3385 your class namespace of these exported
3388 * Moose::Meta::Class
3389 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3390 comes up during global destruction
3392 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3396 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3399 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3400 - changed how we do type checks so that
3401 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3404 - moved accessor generation methods to
3405 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3406 conform to the API changes from
3409 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3410 - changed how constraints are compiled
3411 so that we do less recursion and more
3412 iteration. This makes the type check
3414 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3417 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3418 - created this from methods formerly found in
3419 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3421 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3422 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3424 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3425 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class

3428 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3430 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3432 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3433 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3434 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3435 - added tests for this
3436 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3437 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3438 broke predicates in an ugly way.

3441 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3443 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3444 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3445 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3448 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3449 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3450 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3452 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3453 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3454 comments for more info.
3457 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3458 asked questions and common problems
3460 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3461 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3462 - added tests for this
3464 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3465 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3466 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3467 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3469 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3470 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3473 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3474 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3475 is much appreciated :)
3476 - added tests for this
3478 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3479 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3480 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3483 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3484 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3486 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3488 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3489 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3493 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3494 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3495 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3497 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3499 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3502 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3503 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3504 keywords because we need to localize them.
3505 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3507 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3508 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3509 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3512 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3515 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3516 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3517 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3520 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3521 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3522 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3524 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3526 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3527 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3528 bottom of your class file.
3531 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3534 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3536 - improved error message when loading modules so
3537 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3538 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3539 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3542 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3543 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3544 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)

3547 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3549 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3550 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3551 turn them on for you.
3552 - added tests for this
3553 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3554 in Moose::Meta::Class
3557 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
3558 automatically turned on for you.

3562 - now handles an edge case for override errors
3563 - added tests for this

3577 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
3580 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
3581 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3582 - This release works in combination with
3583 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3584 release because it uses the a new
3585 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3586 complete Role implementation. It has
3587 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3588 the the previous CPAN version. This
3589 release also lacks good updated docs,
3590 the official release will have updated docs.
3593 - refactored the keyword exports
3594 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3595 accepts more than one Role at a time
3596 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3597 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3600 - refactored the keyword exports
3601 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3602 accepts more than one Role at a time
3604 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3605 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3606 string enumerations which can be used as
3608 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3611 - more careful checking of params to new()
3614 - much work done on the role composition
3615 - many new tests for conflict detection
3616 and composition edge cases
3617 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3618 looking at the tests
3620 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3621 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3622 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3624 * Moose::Meta::Class
3625 - some small changes to support the new
3627 - some small additions to support Roles
3629 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3630 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3632 - some small changes to support the new
3634 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3635 with the 'handles' option
3636 - added several tests for this
3637 - no docs for this yet
3639 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
3641 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3642 thanks to chansen for this commit
3643 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3644 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3645 on a per-attribute basis
3646 - added tests for this
3647 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3648 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3649 experimental feature and probably not finished

3714 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
3716 - added test for this
