1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
9 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
10 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
15 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
17 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
18 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
20 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
24 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
25 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
26 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
30 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
31 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
33 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
34 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
36 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
37 environments. (doy, mateu)
39 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
43 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
44 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
45 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
46 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
50 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
51 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
53 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
57 * Update conflicts list.
60 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
64 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
65 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
66 details. (Dave Rolsky)
68 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
69 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
70 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
71 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
72 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
76 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
77 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
78 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
79 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
80 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
83 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
87 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
88 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
90 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
93 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
97 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
98 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
99 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
100 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
102 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
103 immutable classes). (mo)
105 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
106 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
107 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
109 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
113 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
115 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
117 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
121 * Fix some indexing issues.
123 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
125 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
129 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
130 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
131 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
132 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
133 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
135 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
136 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
141 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
142 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
143 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
144 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
146 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
147 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
148 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
152 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
153 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
156 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
160 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
161 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
165 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
169 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
170 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
171 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
172 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
175 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
179 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
182 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
186 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
187 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
188 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
191 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
195 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
196 policy. (Chris Prather)
198 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
199 on this new support policy. (doy)
203 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
204 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
205 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
207 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
208 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
210 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
214 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
215 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
216 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
217 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
220 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
224 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
225 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
228 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
232 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
233 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
235 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
236 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
240 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
241 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
242 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
243 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
244 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
245 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
247 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
248 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
250 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
251 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
252 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
253 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
255 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
256 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
258 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
263 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
264 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
266 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
270 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
271 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
272 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
274 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
278 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
279 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
280 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
282 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
283 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
286 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
287 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
290 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
291 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
292 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
294 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
295 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
300 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
301 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
302 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
303 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
305 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
306 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
308 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
309 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
311 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
312 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
313 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
314 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
316 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
317 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
318 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
321 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
322 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
323 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
324 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
326 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
327 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
330 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
331 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
332 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
334 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
338 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
339 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
340 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
342 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
343 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
344 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
347 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
348 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
349 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
351 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
352 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
353 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
355 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
356 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
360 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
361 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
362 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
364 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
365 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
366 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
367 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
369 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
373 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
374 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
375 value is a reference.
377 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
378 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
380 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
384 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
385 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
386 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
388 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
392 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
393 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
397 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
398 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
399 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
401 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
402 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
403 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
405 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
409 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
411 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
415 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
417 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
418 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
423 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
424 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
426 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
427 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
428 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
429 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
430 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
432 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
433 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
434 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
435 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
437 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
441 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
442 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
447 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
449 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
451 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
456 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
458 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
462 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
463 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
464 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
466 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
467 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
468 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
469 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
471 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
472 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
473 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
474 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
475 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
478 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
483 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
484 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
485 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
486 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
487 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
490 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
494 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
497 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
498 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
502 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
503 function (not just method). (doy)
507 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
508 and aren't easily installable/testable.
510 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
514 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
515 to be overridden more easily (doy).
517 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
521 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
522 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
524 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
528 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
529 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
530 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
532 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
536 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
537 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
538 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
540 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
541 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
545 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
546 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
548 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
549 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
553 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
554 is applied to a class (t0m).
556 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
557 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
559 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
562 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
563 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
565 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
566 be much more robust. (doy)
568 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
570 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
573 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
577 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
578 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
580 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
584 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
585 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
587 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
590 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
591 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
592 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
594 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
595 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
596 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
599 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
601 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
605 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
606 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
610 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
612 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
616 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
617 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
621 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
622 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
626 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
628 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
632 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
633 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
637 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
638 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
642 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
643 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
645 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
649 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
650 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
651 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
654 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
658 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
659 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
660 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
661 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
663 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
667 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
668 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
669 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
673 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
676 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
680 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
681 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
682 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
686 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
687 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
689 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
690 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
691 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
692 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
694 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
698 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
702 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
703 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
705 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
706 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
707 - Moose::Util::does_role
708 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
709 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
710 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
712 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
716 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
717 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
718 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
721 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
725 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
726 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
729 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
733 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
734 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
737 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
741 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
743 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
744 class. (Dave Rolsky).
746 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
747 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
748 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
750 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
751 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
752 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
755 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
756 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
758 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
759 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
760 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
762 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
764 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
765 substr et al, again. (sorear)
767 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
769 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
772 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
773 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
775 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
776 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
778 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
779 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
780 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
781 dependencies installed.
783 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
784 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
787 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
789 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
793 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
795 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
796 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
797 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
799 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
800 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
801 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
803 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
804 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
807 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
808 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
809 others. (nothingmuch)
811 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
812 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
813 remove_accessors. (doy)
815 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
816 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
817 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
819 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
820 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
822 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
823 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
824 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
825 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
828 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
829 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
831 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
832 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
834 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
836 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
837 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
840 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
841 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
842 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
843 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
844 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
846 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
847 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
848 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
849 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
850 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
851 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
852 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
855 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
856 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
857 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
858 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
859 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
861 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
862 which were not receiving the value of
863 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
864 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
865 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
866 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
870 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
871 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
872 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
873 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
874 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
877 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
878 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
879 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
880 - added tests for this (Stevan)
883 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
884 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
885 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
888 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
889 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
890 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
892 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
893 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
894 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
897 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
898 class if you pass it options for
899 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
900 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
901 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
902 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
903 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
904 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
905 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
906 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
907 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
909 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
910 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
911 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
912 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
913 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
916 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
917 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
918 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
919 existing delegation API. (hdp)
921 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
922 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
923 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
924 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
925 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
926 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
929 * Moose::Error::Croak
930 * Moose::Error::Confess
931 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
932 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
935 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
938 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
939 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
940 installing a broken sub. (doy)
943 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
946 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
947 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
948 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
950 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
951 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
952 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
953 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
954 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
956 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
957 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
960 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
962 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
963 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
966 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
967 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
969 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
970 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
971 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
972 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
974 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
975 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
976 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
977 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
978 using it for new code!
980 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
981 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
982 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
983 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
985 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
986 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
987 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
988 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
989 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
990 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
991 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
992 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
995 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
998 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
999 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1002 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1003 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1005 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1006 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1007 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1009 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1010 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1011 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1012 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1014 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1015 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1016 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1018 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1019 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1020 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1023 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1024 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1025 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1026 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1027 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1028 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1030 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1032 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1035 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1036 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1037 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1039 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1040 associated_methods. (hdp)
1041 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1042 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1043 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1044 misspelled) arguments
1046 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1047 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1048 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1049 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1051 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1052 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1053 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1055 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1058 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1059 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1060 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1063 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1064 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1066 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1067 * Moose::Meta::Class
1068 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1069 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1071 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1072 * Moose::Manual::Types
1073 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1074 string parsing rathole (mst)
1076 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1077 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1078 using plain objects instead
1080 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1081 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1082 that's what we need.
1084 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1085 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1086 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1087 three times today (perigrin)
1088 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1089 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1091 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1092 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1093 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1094 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1097 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1098 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1099 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1100 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1101 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1102 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1105 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1106 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1107 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1108 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1111 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1113 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1116 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1118 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1121 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1122 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1123 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1127 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1128 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1131 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1132 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1134 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1135 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1136 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1138 * Moose::Unsweetened
1139 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1141 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1142 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1145 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1149 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1150 methods during global destruction (doy)
1152 * Moose::Meta::Class
1153 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1154 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1155 consumption (Sartak)
1157 * Moose::Meta::Class
1158 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1159 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1162 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1163 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1166 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1167 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1169 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1171 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1175 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1176 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1177 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1180 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1181 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1182 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1185 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1187 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1188 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1189 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1192 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1193 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1194 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1195 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1197 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1198 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1199 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1202 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1205 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1206 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1207 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1211 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1212 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1214 * Moose::Meta::Class
1215 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1217 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1219 * Moose::Meta::Class
1220 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1221 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1224 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1225 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1228 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1229 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1232 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1235 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1237 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1238 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1241 * Moose::Meta::Class
1242 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1244 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1245 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1248 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1249 * More deprecations and renamings
1250 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1251 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1252 when an object is constructed)
1255 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1256 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1257 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1259 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1260 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1261 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1262 feature, and it works again.
1265 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1267 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1269 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1270 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1271 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1273 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1274 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1275 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1276 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1277 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1279 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1280 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1281 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1282 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1283 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1286 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1287 metaclass object. (hdp)
1289 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1290 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1291 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1292 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1293 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1294 point out this fact. (hdp)
1296 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1297 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1299 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1300 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1302 * Moose::Meta::Class
1303 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1304 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1305 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1306 called during instance construction were passed the
1307 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1308 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1310 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1311 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1314 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1315 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1316 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1319 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1320 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1321 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1322 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1323 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1325 - Moose::Meta::Class
1326 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1328 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1329 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1330 when an object is constructed)
1331 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1333 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1334 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1335 when an object is constructed)
1336 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1337 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1338 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1341 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1343 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1344 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1346 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1348 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1349 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1350 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1352 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1353 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1354 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1356 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1358 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1359 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1361 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1362 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1365 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1366 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1369 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1370 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1371 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1373 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1374 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1378 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1379 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1380 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1382 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1383 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1386 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1387 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1388 with recommended workarounds.
1390 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1391 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1393 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1394 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1395 (yes, spelled like that).
1397 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1398 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1400 * Moose::Meta::Class
1401 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1402 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1404 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1406 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1407 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1408 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1409 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1410 instead. Reported by doy.
1412 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1414 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1415 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1417 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1418 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1419 message) is now deprecated.
1420 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1421 often got it wrong. For example:
1423 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1425 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1429 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1430 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1431 bite you in weird cases.
1433 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1434 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1435 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1436 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1438 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1439 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1443 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1446 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1447 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1450 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1451 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1453 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1454 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1457 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1458 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1459 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1460 - added tests for this (stevan)
1462 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1463 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1464 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1465 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1469 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1470 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1471 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1472 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1474 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1475 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1476 - added tests for this (rafl)
1478 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1479 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1480 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1481 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1485 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1486 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1489 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1490 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1491 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1493 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1495 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1496 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1498 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1499 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1500 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1501 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1502 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1504 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1505 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1506 error message did not specify the attribute name
1509 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1511 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1513 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1514 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1515 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1517 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1518 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1521 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1523 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1524 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1525 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1526 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1528 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1530 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1531 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1532 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1533 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1535 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1536 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1537 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1539 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1540 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1541 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1542 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1543 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1545 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1546 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1547 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1548 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1549 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1551 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1552 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1553 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1554 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1555 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1556 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1558 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1559 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1560 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1561 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1562 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1563 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1565 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1566 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1568 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1569 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1570 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1571 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1573 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1574 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1577 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1581 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1582 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1584 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1585 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1586 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1587 guts. (nothingmuch).
1589 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1590 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1591 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1593 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1594 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1595 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1596 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1598 * Moose::Meta::Class
1599 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1602 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1603 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1605 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1606 * Moose::Unsweetened
1607 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1610 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1611 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1612 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1613 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1614 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1615 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1617 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1618 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1619 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1620 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1621 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1622 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1623 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1624 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1625 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1626 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1628 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1630 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1631 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1633 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1634 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1635 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1636 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1638 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1639 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1640 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1641 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1642 same methods for a single role did not work
1643 right (worked just fine with multiple
1645 - added test for this (stevan)
1647 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1648 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1649 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1652 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1653 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1654 - added test for this (t0m)
1657 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1658 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1659 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1661 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1662 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1663 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1664 - added test for this (t0m)
1666 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1667 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1668 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1669 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1670 - added test for this (perigrin)
1673 - create method for constructing a role
1674 dynamically (Sartak)
1675 - added test for this (Sartak)
1676 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1677 - added test for this (Sartak)
1680 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1682 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1683 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1684 methods is useful (Sartak)
1686 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1687 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1688 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1691 * Moose::Meta::Class
1692 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1693 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1694 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1695 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1696 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1697 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1700 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1701 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1703 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1704 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1705 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1706 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1707 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1709 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1711 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1712 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1713 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1716 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1717 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1718 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1719 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1720 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1721 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1724 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1725 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1726 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1727 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1728 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1729 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1730 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1731 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1732 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1733 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1734 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1736 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1737 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1740 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1741 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1742 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1743 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1744 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1746 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1748 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1749 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1750 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1752 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1753 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1755 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1756 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1757 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1758 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1761 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1762 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1764 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1766 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1767 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1769 * Moose::Meta::Class
1770 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1771 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1772 a required attribute
1774 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1775 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1776 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1777 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1779 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1780 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1782 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1783 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1784 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1785 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1786 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1787 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1788 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1789 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1791 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1792 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1793 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1795 * Roles and role application
1796 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1797 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1798 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1799 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1800 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1802 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1803 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1806 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1807 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1808 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1809 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1810 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1813 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1814 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1815 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1816 changes in the Moose internals.
1818 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1819 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1820 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1823 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1824 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1825 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1826 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1828 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1829 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1830 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1831 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1833 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1834 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1835 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1836 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1837 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1838 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1839 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1840 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1841 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1842 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1843 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1844 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1845 constraint implementations.
1847 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1851 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1852 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1853 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1854 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1855 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1856 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1857 - added tests for this (rafl)
1859 * Moose::Meta::Class
1860 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1861 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1862 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1863 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1864 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1865 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1866 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1867 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1870 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1871 - added tests for this (thepler)
1873 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1874 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1875 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1876 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1879 * Moose::Meta::Class
1880 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1881 * Moose::Meta::Method
1884 * Moose::Error::Default
1885 * Moose::Error::Croak
1886 * Moose::Error::Confess
1887 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1888 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1889 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1890 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1891 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1892 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1894 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1896 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1897 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1899 * Moose::Unsweetened
1900 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1901 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1902 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1904 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1905 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1906 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1907 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1908 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1911 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1912 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1914 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1915 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1916 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1917 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1920 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1922 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1923 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1925 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1928 - Various bug fixes.
1930 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1931 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1933 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1935 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1936 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1937 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1938 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1939 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1940 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1942 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1943 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1944 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1946 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1947 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1948 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1951 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1952 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1953 dependency to 0.64_07.
1955 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1956 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1957 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1959 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1960 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1963 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1964 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1965 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1966 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1967 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1968 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1970 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1971 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1973 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1975 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1976 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1980 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1981 method when that method was provided by another role being
1982 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1983 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1985 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1987 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1988 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1990 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1991 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1992 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1993 - added test for this (t0m)
1995 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1996 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1997 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1999 - added test for this (t0m)
2002 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
2003 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
2004 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
2007 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
2008 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
2010 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
2012 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
2013 easier (Dave Rolsky)
2015 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2016 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
2017 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
2019 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2020 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
2023 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2024 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2025 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
2026 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
2030 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
2031 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
2032 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
2035 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
2036 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
2037 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
2038 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
2041 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
2045 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
2046 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
2047 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
2049 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008

2090 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2091 ... this is not my day today ...
2093 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2094 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2095 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2096 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2097 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2100 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2101 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2102 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2103 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2104 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2107 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2109 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2110 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)

2142 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2143 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2144 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2145 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2146 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2147 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2148 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2149 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2150 - added tests for this
2152 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2153 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to

2263 XS based functionality is now optional
2264 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2265 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2266 can now be used to force non-XS versions

2742 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2743 - added the &has_coercion_for_type and
2744 &add_type_coercions methods to support the
2745 new features above (although you cannot add
2746 more type coercions for Union types)
2748 0.31 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
2749 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2750 - made the +attr syntax handle extending types with
2751 parameters. So "has '+foo' => (isa => 'ArrayRef[Int]')"
2752 now works if the original foo is an ArrayRef.
2753 - added tests for this.
2754 - delegation now works even if the attribute does not
2755 have a reader method using the get_read_method_ref
2756 method from Class::MOP::Attribute.
2757 - added tests for this
2758 - added docs for this
2760 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2761 - passing no "additional attribute info" to
2762 &find_or_create_type_constraint will no longer
2763 attempt to create an __ANON__ type for you,
2764 instead it will just return undef.
2765 - added docs for this
2767 0.30 Fri. Nov. 23, 2007
2768 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2769 -builder related bug in inlined constructor. (groditi)

2777 - added more tests for this (mst)
2778 - fixed it so that subtype 'Foo' => as 'HashRef[Int]' ...
2779 with work correctly.
2780 - added tests for this
2783 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2784 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code
2787 - New tests for builder bug. Upon instantiation, if an
2788 attribute had a builder, no value and was not lazy the
2789 builder default was not getting run, oops. (groditi)
2791 0.29 Tues. Nov. 13, 2007
2792 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2793 - Fix error message on missing builder method (groditi)

2800 builder method is missing (groditi)
2802 0.28 Tues. Nov. 13, 2007
2803 - 0.27 packaged incorrectly (groditi)
2805 0.27 Tues. Nov. 13, 2007
2806 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2807 - Added support for the new builder option (groditi)

2817 - Added support for lazy_build option (groditi)
2820 - tests for builder and lazy_build (groditi)
2822 * fixing some misc. bits in the docs that
2823 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
2826 - fixed how required methods are handled
2827 when they encounter overriden or modified
2828 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2829 - added tests for this
2831 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2832 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2833 the | always creates a union and so is
2834 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2835 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2837 - added more tests for this
2839 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2842 * Parameterized Types
2843 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2844 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2845 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2846 They can also be nested:
2847 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2848 And work with the type unions as well:
2849 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2851 * Better Framework Extendability
2852 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2853 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2854 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2855 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2858 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2859 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2860 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2861 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2864 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2866 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
2867 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)
2870 - added all the meta classes to the immutable list and

2901 - these are bits of documentation, not quite as big as
2902 Recipes but which have no clear place in the module docs.
2903 So they are Snacks! (horray for castaway++)
2905 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe4
2906 - updated it to use the new ArrayRef[MyType] construct
2907 - updated the accompanying test as well
2909 +++ Major Refactor of the Type Constraint system +++
2910 +++ with new features added as well +++
2912 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint

2916 - added more sophisticated type notation parsing
2918 - added tests for this
2920 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint

2926 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
2927 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2929 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2930 - this has been added to service the newly refactored
2931 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union and is itself
2932 a subclass of Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion

2946 (thanks to shlomif).
2948 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2949 - required attributes now will no longer accept undef
2950 from the constructor, even if there is a default and lazy
2951 - added tests for this
2952 - default subroutines must return a value which passes the
2954 - added tests for this
2956 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2957 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor

2988 - added tests for these
2990 0.24 Tues. July 3, 2007
2991 ~ Some doc updates/cleanup ~
2993 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2994 - added support for roles to be given as parameters
2995 to the 'handles' option.
2996 - added tests and docs for this

2999 (but not changing the handles option)
3000 - added tests and docs for this
3003 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
3004 so that required methods can come from superclasses
3005 - adjusted tests for this
3007 0.23 Mon. June 18, 2007
3008 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
3009 - fix inlined constructor for hierarchy with multiple BUILD methods (mst)

3015 the other side (perigrin)
3017 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
3018 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3019 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3020 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
3021 prototypes for functions
3022 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
3023 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

3033 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
3036 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
3037 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
3038 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
3039 - added tests for this
3041 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
3043 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

3059 * Moose::Meta::Class
3060 - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
3061 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
3062 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
3064 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
3065 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
3067 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
3068 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
3069 so this release is just to fix that.
3072 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
3073 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
3074 (thanks to konobi for this)
3075 - added tests and docs
3077 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
3078 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
3080 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3081 - 'type' now supports messages as well
3082 thanks to phaylon for finding this
3083 - added tests for this
3084 - added &list_all_type_constraints and
3085 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
3086 functions to facilitate introspection.
3088 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3089 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
3090 to build the list of delegated methods
3091 correctly (and not override important
3092 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
3094 - added tests and docs for this
3095 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3096 so that you can actually document your
3097 attributes and inspect them through the
3099 - added tests and docs for this
3101 * Moose::Meta::Class
3102 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3103 it will first look in for the class in the
3104 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3105 then default to just loading $name.
3106 - added tests and docs for this
3108 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3109 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3110 - added test for this
3113 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
3114 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
3115 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3116 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3118 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3119 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3122 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3124 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3125 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3126 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3129 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3130 !! for this developer release to work !!
3132 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3133 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3134 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3135 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3136 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3137 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3138 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3139 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3140 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3141 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3142 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3144 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3145 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3146 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3147 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3150 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3151 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3152 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3153 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3154 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3156 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3158 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3159 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3162 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3163 called unless they actually need to be.
3164 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3165 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3166 DEMOLISH method present.
3168 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3169 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3170 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3171 type constraint, which allows for a
3172 hand optimized version of the type
3173 constraint to be used when possible.
3174 - Any internally created type constraints
3175 now provide an optimized version as well.
3177 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3179 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3180 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3181 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3183 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3184 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3185 your class namespace of these exported
3188 * Moose::Meta::Class
3189 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3190 comes up during global destruction
3192 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3196 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3199 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3200 - changed how we do type checks so that
3201 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3204 - moved accessor generation methods to
3205 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3206 conform to the API changes from
3209 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3210 - changed how constraints are compiled
3211 so that we do less recursion and more
3212 iteration. This makes the type check
3214 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3217 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3218 - created this from methods formerly found in
3219 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3221 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3222 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3224 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3225 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3227 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3228 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3230 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3232 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3233 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3234 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3235 - added tests for this
3236 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3237 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3238 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3239 - removed tests for this
3241 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3243 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3244 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3245 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3248 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3249 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3250 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3252 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3253 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3254 comments for more info.
3257 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3258 asked questions and common problems
3260 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3261 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3262 - added tests for this
3264 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3265 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3266 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3267 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3269 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3270 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3273 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3274 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3275 is much appreciated :)
3276 - added tests for this
3278 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3279 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3280 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3283 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3284 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3286 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3288 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3289 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3293 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3294 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3295 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3297 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3299 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3302 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3303 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3304 keywords because we need to localize them.
3305 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3307 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3308 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3309 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3312 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3315 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3316 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3317 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3320 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3321 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3322 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3324 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3326 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3327 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3328 bottom of your class file.
3331 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3334 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3336 - improved error message when loading modules so
3337 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3338 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3339 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3342 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3343 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3344 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3346 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3347 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3349 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3350 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3351 turn them on for you.
3352 - added tests for this
3353 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3354 in Moose::Meta::Class
3357 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
3358 automatically turned on for you.

3380 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
3381 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3382 - This release works in combination with
3383 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3384 release because it uses the a new
3385 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3386 complete Role implementation. It has
3387 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3388 the the previous CPAN version. This
3389 release also lacks good updated docs,
3390 the official release will have updated docs.
3393 - refactored the keyword exports
3394 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3395 accepts more than one Role at a time
3396 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3397 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3400 - refactored the keyword exports
3401 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3402 accepts more than one Role at a time
3404 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3405 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3406 string enumerations which can be used as
3408 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3411 - more careful checking of params to new()
3414 - much work done on the role composition
3415 - many new tests for conflict detection
3416 and composition edge cases
3417 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3418 looking at the tests
3420 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3421 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3422 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3424 * Moose::Meta::Class
3425 - some small changes to support the new
3427 - some small additions to support Roles
3429 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3430 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3432 - some small changes to support the new
3434 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3435 with the 'handles' option
3436 - added several tests for this
3437 - no docs for this yet
3439 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
3441 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3442 thanks to chansen for this commit
3443 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3444 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3445 on a per-attribute basis
3446 - added tests for this
3447 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3448 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3449 experimental feature and probably not finished

3627 - added type coercion features
3628 - added tests for this
3629 - added support for this in attributes
3630 and instance construction
