1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * Fix compilation on 5.8. Reported by ether. (doy)
12 * The enum type will now create single value enumerations. Previously, two
13 or more values were required. (rjbs)
15 2.0300 Fri, Sep 23, 2011
19 * The optimize_as option for type constraints has been deprecated. Use the
20 inline_as option to provide inlining code instead. (Dave Rolsky)
24 * Methods to introspect a class's methods will now return methods defined in
25 UNIVERSAL (isa, can, etc.). This also means that you can wrap these
26 methods with method modifiers. RT #69839. Reported by Vyacheslav
27 Matyukhin. (Dave Rolsky)
29 * The ->parent and ->parents method for a union now return the nearest
30 common ancestor of that union's component types. See Moose::Manual::Delta
31 for more details. (Dave Rolsky)
33 * The ->parents method used to return an arrayref for union types, and a
34 list of one or more types for all other types. Now they all return
37 * The ->is_subtype_of and ->is_a_type_of methods have changed their behavior
38 for union types. Previously, they returned true if any of their member
39 types returned true for a given type. Now, all of the member types must
40 return true. RT #67731. (Dave Rolsky)
44 * The Moose::Exporter module now has a "meta_lookup" option when creating an
45 importer. This allows you to specify an alternate method for determining
46 the metaclass of a caller. This is useful for modules like
47 MooseX::Role::Parameterized which generate new metaclasses on the
50 * Added a Moose::Meta::Method->is_stub method. (Dave Rolsky)
54 * A subtype of a union type did not return the right results when you called
55 ->is_subtype_of or ->is_a_type_of on it. This has been fixed. RT
58 * An attribute accessor or delegation method can overwrite a stub method and
59 this will no longer throw an error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. RT
62 * The error generated by unfulfilled method requirements during role
63 composition now mentions how to work around imported methods not being
64 recognized. Reported by Michael Schwern. RT #60583. (doy)
66 * class_type and role_type will now throw errors if you attempt to use them
67 to override existing types, just like type and subtype have always done.
70 * Implicitly creating class or role types by using them as the 'isa' or
71 'does' parameter to attribute construction will now register the type. This
72 means that it cannot later be redefined as something else. (doy)
74 * $class_type->is_subtype_of no longer returns true if passed the name of the
75 class that the class type represents when the class type wasn't registered.
78 * Removing anonymous metaclasses prematurely no longer prevents reaping of
79 the associated stash. (doy)
83 * The Class::MOP::load_class and Class::MOP::is_class_loaded subroutines are
84 no longer documented, and will cause a deprecation warning in the
85 future. Moose now uses Class::Load to provide this functionality, and you
86 should as well. (Dave Rolsky)
88 2.0205 Tue, Sep 06, 2011
92 * The Array and Hash native traits now provide a "shallow_clone" method,
93 which will return a reference to a new container with the same contents as
94 the attribute's reference.
98 * Specifying an invalid value in a hashref 'handles' value now throws a
99 sensible error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. RT #69990. (Dave
104 * When specifying an attribute trait, passing options for the trait besides
105 -alias or -excludes caused a warning. However, passing other options is
106 totally valid when using MooseX::Role::Parameterized. Fixes RT
109 * Allow regexp objects in duck_type constraints (to bring this in line with
110 the Object constraint).
112 2.0204 Thu, Aug 25, 2011
116 * Validating duck_type type constraint turned out to work only by accident,
117 and only when not running under the debugger. This has been fixed.
122 * Loosen the dependency on ExtUtils::ParseXS.
124 2.0203 Tue, Aug 23, 2011
128 * is_class_loaded now properly detects packages which have a version object
131 * Fix XS compilation under blead.
133 2.0202 Tue, Jul 26, 2011
137 * Be more consistent about how type constraint messages are handled.
139 2.0201 Fri, Jul 22, 2011
143 * Moose::Util::does_role shouldn't call ->does on things that don't inherit
146 * Make ->does initialize the metaclass, so that calling it as a class method
147 on a class which sets up inheritance via some method other than extends
148 works properly (this fixes an issue with MooseX::Types).
150 * Make Dist::CheckConflicts a runtime requirement, so moose-outdated always
153 2.0200 Mon, Jul 18, 2011
157 * No changes from 2.0105 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
159 2.0105-TRIAL Mon, Jun 27, 2011
163 * Moose::Util::does_role now respects overridden ->does methods. (doy)
165 2.0104-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
169 * Include changes from 2.0010.
171 2.0103-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
175 * Several things that have been deprecated for a while have been removed. See
176 the 2.0000 section in Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
180 * New Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::union function for creating union type
181 constraints without having to rely on the string type constraint parsing.
182 This also allows for creating unions of anonymous type constraints.
187 * Include changes from Moose 2.0009.
189 2.0102-TRIAL Sat, Jun 18, 2011
193 * The native Array trait now has a 'first_index' method, which works just
194 like the version in List::MoreUtils. (Karen Etheridge)
196 * Clean up some internal code to help out extensions.
200 * Include changes from Moose 2.0008.
202 2.0101-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
206 * Various packaging issues.
208 2.0100-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
212 * Using a hand-optimized type constraint is now deprecated. In keeping with
213 our release policy, this won't actually start warning until the 2.0200
218 * Type constraints can now provide inlined versions, which should make
219 inlined code which uses type constraints (such as accessors) faster. This
220 replaces the existing hand-optimized constraint feature. (Dave Rolsky)
224 * Remove a lot of cases where generated methods closed over meta objects.
225 Most simple cases should now only close over simple data types and
226 coderefs. This should make deparsing simpler.
228 2.0010 Mon, Jun 20, 2011
232 * Fix regression in 2.0009 and 2.0103 when applying roles during init_meta in
233 an exporter that also re-exports Moose or Moose::Role. (t0m, ilmari)
235 2.0009 Sun, Jun 19, 2011
239 * duck_type type constraints now report reasonable errors when given
240 something which isn't an instance of an object. (t0m)
242 * Moose::Util::apply_all_roles now works even if the applicant is a non-Moose
245 * When an object is reblessed, triggers are called on attributes that are
246 set during the reblessing. (Karen Etheridge).
250 * Better error message if Moose->init_meta is called with a 'metaclass'
251 option when that metaclass hasn't been loaded. (jasonmay)
253 2.0008 Thu, Jun 16, 2011
257 * The 'accessor' native delegation for hashrefs now allows setting the value
258 to undef. (sugoik, doy)
262 * Various generated methods have more useful context information. (doy)
264 2.0007 Sun, May 15, 2011
268 * Make sure weak attributes remain weak when cloning. (doy, rafl)
270 2.0006 Mon, May 09, 2011
274 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
275 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
277 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
281 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
283 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
287 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
289 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
290 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
292 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
296 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
297 skips every other role. (rjbs)
299 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
300 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
301 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
302 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
303 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
305 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
309 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
310 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
311 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
314 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
319 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
321 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
322 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
324 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
328 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
329 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
330 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
334 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
335 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
337 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
338 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
340 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
341 environments. (doy, mateu)
343 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
347 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
348 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
349 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
350 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
354 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
355 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
357 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
361 * Update conflicts list.
364 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
368 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
369 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
370 details. (Dave Rolsky)
372 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
373 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
374 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
375 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
376 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
380 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
381 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
382 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
383 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
384 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
387 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
391 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
392 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
394 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
397 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
401 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
402 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
403 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
404 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
406 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
407 immutable classes). (mo)
409 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
410 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
411 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
413 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
417 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
419 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
421 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
425 * Fix some indexing issues.
427 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
429 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
433 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
434 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
435 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
436 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
437 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
439 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
440 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
445 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
446 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
447 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
448 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
450 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
451 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
452 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
456 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
457 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
460 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
464 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
465 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
469 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
473 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
474 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
475 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
476 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
479 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
483 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
486 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
490 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
491 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
492 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
495 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
499 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
500 policy. (Chris Prather)
502 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
503 on this new support policy. (doy)
507 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
508 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
509 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
511 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
512 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
514 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
518 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
519 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
520 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
521 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
524 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
528 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
529 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
532 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
536 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
537 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
539 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
540 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
544 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
545 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
546 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
547 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
548 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
549 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
551 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
552 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
554 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
555 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
556 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
557 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
559 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
560 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
562 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
567 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
568 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
570 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
574 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
575 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
576 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
578 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
582 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
583 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
584 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
586 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
587 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
590 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
591 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
594 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
595 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
596 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
598 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
599 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
604 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
605 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
606 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
607 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
609 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
610 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
612 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
613 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
615 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
616 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
617 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
618 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
620 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
621 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
622 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
625 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
626 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
627 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
628 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
630 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
631 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
634 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
635 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
636 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
638 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
642 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
643 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
644 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
646 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
647 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
648 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
651 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
652 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
653 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
655 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
656 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
657 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
659 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
660 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
664 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
665 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
666 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
668 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
669 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
670 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
671 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
673 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
677 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
678 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
679 value is a reference.
681 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
682 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
684 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
688 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
689 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
690 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
692 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
696 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
697 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
701 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
702 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
703 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
705 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
706 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
707 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
709 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
713 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
715 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
719 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
721 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
722 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
727 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
728 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
730 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
731 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
732 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
733 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
734 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
736 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
737 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
738 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
739 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
741 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
745 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
746 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
751 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
753 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
755 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
760 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
762 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
766 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
767 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
768 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
770 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
771 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
772 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
773 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
775 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
776 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
777 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
778 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
779 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
782 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
787 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
788 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
789 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
790 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
791 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
794 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
798 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
801 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
802 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
806 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
807 function (not just method). (doy)
811 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
812 and aren't easily installable/testable.
814 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
818 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
819 to be overridden more easily (doy).
821 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
825 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
826 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
828 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
832 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
833 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
834 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
836 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
840 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
841 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
842 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
844 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
845 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
849 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
850 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
852 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
853 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
857 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
858 is applied to a class (t0m).
860 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
861 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
863 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
866 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
867 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
869 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
870 be much more robust. (doy)
872 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
874 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
877 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
881 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
882 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
884 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
888 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
889 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
891 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
894 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
895 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
896 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
898 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
899 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
900 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
903 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
905 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
909 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
910 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
914 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
916 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
920 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
921 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
925 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
926 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
930 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
932 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
936 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
937 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
941 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
942 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
946 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
947 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
949 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
953 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
954 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
955 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
958 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
962 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
963 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
964 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
965 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
967 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
971 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
972 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
973 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
977 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
980 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
984 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
985 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
986 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
990 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
991 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
993 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
994 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
995 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
996 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
998 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
1002 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
1006 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
1007 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
1009 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
1010 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
1011 - Moose::Util::does_role
1012 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
1013 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
1014 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
1016 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
1020 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
1021 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
1022 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
1025 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1029 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
1030 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
1033 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1037 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
1038 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
1041 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
1045 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
1047 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
1048 class. (Dave Rolsky).
1050 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
1051 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
1052 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
1054 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
1055 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
1056 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
1059 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
1060 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1062 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
1063 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
1064 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
1066 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
1068 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
1069 substr et al, again. (sorear)
1071 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
1073 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
1076 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
1077 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
1079 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
1080 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
1082 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
1083 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
1084 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
1085 dependencies installed.
1087 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
1088 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
1091 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
1093 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
1097 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1099 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1100 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
1101 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
1103 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1104 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
1105 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
1107 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
1108 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
1111 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
1112 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
1113 others. (nothingmuch)
1115 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1116 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
1117 remove_accessors. (doy)
1119 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1120 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
1121 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
1123 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
1124 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
1126 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
1127 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1128 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
1129 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
1131 * Moose::Meta::Class
1132 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
1133 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
1135 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1136 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
1138 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
1140 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
1141 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
1144 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1145 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
1146 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
1147 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
1148 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
1150 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
1151 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
1152 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
1153 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
1154 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
1155 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
1156 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
1159 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
1160 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
1161 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
1162 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
1163 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
1165 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
1166 which were not receiving the value of
1167 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
1168 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
1169 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
1170 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
1174 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
1175 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
1176 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
1177 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
1178 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
1181 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1182 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
1183 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
1184 - added tests for this (Stevan)
1186 * Moose::Meta::Class
1187 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
1188 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
1189 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
1192 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
1193 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1194 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
1196 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1197 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
1198 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
1201 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
1202 class if you pass it options for
1203 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
1204 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
1205 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
1206 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
1207 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
1208 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
1209 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
1210 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
1211 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
1213 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1214 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
1215 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
1216 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
1217 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
1220 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
1221 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1222 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
1223 existing delegation API. (hdp)
1225 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1226 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
1227 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
1228 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
1229 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
1230 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
1233 * Moose::Error::Croak
1234 * Moose::Error::Confess
1235 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
1236 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
1239 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
1242 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
1243 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
1244 installing a broken sub. (doy)
1246 * Moose::Meta::Class
1247 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
1250 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
1251 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1252 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
1254 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1255 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1256 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
1257 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
1258 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
1260 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1261 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
1264 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
1266 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1267 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1270 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1271 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1273 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1274 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1275 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1276 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1278 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1279 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1280 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1281 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1282 using it for new code!
1284 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1285 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1286 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1287 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1289 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1290 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1291 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1292 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1293 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1294 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1295 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1296 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1299 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1302 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1303 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1306 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1307 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1309 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1310 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1311 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1313 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1314 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1315 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1316 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1318 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1319 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1320 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1322 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1323 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1324 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1327 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1328 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1329 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1330 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1331 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1332 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1334 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1336 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1339 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1340 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1341 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1343 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1344 associated_methods. (hdp)
1345 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1346 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1347 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1348 misspelled) arguments
1350 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1351 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1352 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1353 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1355 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1356 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1357 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1359 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1362 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1363 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1364 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1367 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1368 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1370 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1371 * Moose::Meta::Class
1372 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1373 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1375 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1376 * Moose::Manual::Types
1377 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1378 string parsing rathole (mst)
1380 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1381 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1382 using plain objects instead
1384 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1385 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1386 that's what we need.
1388 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1389 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1390 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1391 three times today (perigrin)
1392 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1393 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1395 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1396 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1397 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1398 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1401 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1402 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1403 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1404 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1405 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1406 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1409 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1410 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1411 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1412 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1415 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1417 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1420 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1422 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1425 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1426 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1427 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1431 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1432 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1435 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1436 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1438 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1439 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1440 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1442 * Moose::Unsweetened
1443 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1445 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1446 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1449 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1453 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1454 methods during global destruction (doy)
1456 * Moose::Meta::Class
1457 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1458 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1459 consumption (Sartak)
1461 * Moose::Meta::Class
1462 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1463 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1466 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1467 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1470 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1471 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1473 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1475 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1479 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1480 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1481 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1484 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1485 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1486 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1489 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1491 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1492 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1493 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1496 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1497 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1498 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1499 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1501 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1502 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1503 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1506 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1509 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1510 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1511 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1515 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1516 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1518 * Moose::Meta::Class
1519 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1521 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1523 * Moose::Meta::Class
1524 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1525 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1528 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1529 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1532 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1533 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1536 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1539 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1541 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1542 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1545 * Moose::Meta::Class
1546 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1548 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1549 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1552 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1553 * More deprecations and renamings
1554 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1555 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1556 when an object is constructed)
1559 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1560 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1561 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1563 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1564 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1565 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1566 feature, and it works again.
1569 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1571 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1573 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1574 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1575 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1577 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1578 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1579 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1580 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1581 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1583 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1584 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1585 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1586 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1587 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1590 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1591 metaclass object. (hdp)
1593 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1594 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1595 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1596 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1597 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1598 point out this fact. (hdp)
1600 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1601 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1603 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1604 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1606 * Moose::Meta::Class
1607 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1608 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1609 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1610 called during instance construction were passed the
1611 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1612 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1614 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1615 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1618 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1619 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1620 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1623 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1624 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1625 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1626 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1627 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1629 - Moose::Meta::Class
1630 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1632 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1633 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1634 when an object is constructed)
1635 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1637 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1638 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1639 when an object is constructed)
1640 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1641 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1642 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1645 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1647 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1648 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1650 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1652 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1653 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1654 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1656 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1657 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1658 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1660 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1662 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1663 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1665 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1666 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1669 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1670 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1673 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1674 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1675 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1677 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1678 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1682 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1683 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1684 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1686 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1687 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1690 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1691 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1692 with recommended workarounds.
1694 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1695 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1697 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1698 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1699 (yes, spelled like that).
1701 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1702 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1704 * Moose::Meta::Class
1705 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1706 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1708 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1710 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1711 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1712 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1713 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1714 instead. Reported by doy.
1716 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1718 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1719 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1721 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1722 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1723 message) is now deprecated.
1724 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1725 often got it wrong. For example:
1727 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1729 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1733 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1734 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1735 bite you in weird cases.
1737 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1738 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1739 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1740 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1742 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1743 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1747 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1750 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1751 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1754 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1755 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1757 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1758 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1761 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1762 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1763 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1764 - added tests for this (stevan)
1766 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1767 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1768 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1769 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1773 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1774 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1775 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1776 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1778 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1779 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1780 - added tests for this (rafl)
1782 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1783 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1784 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1785 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1789 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1790 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1793 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1794 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1795 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1797 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1799 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1800 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1802 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1803 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1804 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1805 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1806 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1808 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1809 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1810 error message did not specify the attribute name
1813 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1815 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1817 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1818 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1819 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1821 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1822 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1825 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1827 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1828 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1829 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1830 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1832 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1834 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1835 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1836 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1837 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1839 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1840 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1841 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1843 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1844 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1845 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1846 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1847 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1849 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1850 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1851 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1852 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1853 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1855 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1856 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1857 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1858 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1859 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1860 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1862 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1863 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1864 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1865 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1866 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1867 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1869 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1870 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1872 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1873 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1874 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1875 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1877 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1878 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1881 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1885 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1886 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1888 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1889 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1890 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1891 guts. (nothingmuch).
1893 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1894 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1895 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1897 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1898 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1899 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1900 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1902 * Moose::Meta::Class
1903 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1906 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1907 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1909 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1910 * Moose::Unsweetened
1911 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1914 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1915 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1916 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1917 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1918 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1919 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1921 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1922 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1923 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1924 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1925 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1926 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1927 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1928 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1929 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1930 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1932 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1934 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1935 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1937 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1938 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1939 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1940 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1942 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1943 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1944 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1945 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1946 same methods for a single role did not work
1947 right (worked just fine with multiple
1949 - added test for this (stevan)
1951 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1952 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1953 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1956 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1957 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1958 - added test for this (t0m)
1961 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1962 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1963 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1965 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1966 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1967 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1968 - added test for this (t0m)
1970 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1971 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1972 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1973 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1974 - added test for this (perigrin)
1977 - create method for constructing a role
1978 dynamically (Sartak)
1979 - added test for this (Sartak)
1980 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1981 - added test for this (Sartak)
1984 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1986 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1987 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1988 methods is useful (Sartak)
1990 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1991 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1992 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1995 * Moose::Meta::Class
1996 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1997 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1998 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1999 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
2000 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
2001 - added tests for this (jdv79)
2004 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
2005 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
2007 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
2008 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
2009 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
2010 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
2011 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
2013 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
2015 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
2016 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2017 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
2020 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
2021 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
2022 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
2023 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
2024 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
2025 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
2028 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2029 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
2030 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
2031 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
2032 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
2033 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
2034 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
2035 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
2036 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
2037 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
2038 future. (jnapiorkowski)
2040 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2041 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
2044 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2045 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
2046 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
2047 type. (jnapiorkowski)
2048 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2050 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
2052 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
2053 predicate, and link to more details sections in
2054 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
2056 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2057 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
2059 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2060 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
2061 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
2062 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2065 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
2066 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
2068 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
2070 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
2071 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
2073 * Moose::Meta::Class
2074 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
2075 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
2076 a required attribute
2078 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
2079 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
2080 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
2081 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
2083 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2084 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
2086 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2087 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
2088 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
2089 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
2090 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
2091 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
2092 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
2093 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
2095 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
2096 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
2097 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
2099 * Roles and role application
2100 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
2101 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
2102 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
2103 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
2104 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
2106 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
2107 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
2110 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
2111 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
2112 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
2113 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
2114 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
2117 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
2118 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
2119 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
2120 changes in the Moose internals.
2122 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
2123 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2124 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
2127 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2128 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
2129 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
2130 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
2132 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2133 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
2134 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
2135 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
2137 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2138 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
2139 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
2140 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
2141 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
2142 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
2143 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
2144 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
2145 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
2146 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
2147 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
2148 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
2149 constraint implementations.
2151 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
2155 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
2156 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
2157 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
2158 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
2159 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
2160 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
2161 - added tests for this (rafl)
2163 * Moose::Meta::Class
2164 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
2165 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
2166 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
2167 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
2168 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
2169 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
2170 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
2171 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
2174 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
2175 - added tests for this (thepler)
2177 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2178 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
2179 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
2180 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
2183 * Moose::Meta::Class
2184 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2185 * Moose::Meta::Method
2188 * Moose::Error::Default
2189 * Moose::Error::Croak
2190 * Moose::Error::Confess
2191 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
2192 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
2193 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
2194 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
2195 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
2196 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
2198 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
2200 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
2201 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
2203 * Moose::Unsweetened
2204 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
2205 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
2206 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
2208 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2209 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
2210 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
2211 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
2212 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2215 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
2216 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
2218 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
2219 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
2220 several major changes in this release of Moose.
2221 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
2224 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
2226 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
2227 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
2229 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
2232 - Various bug fixes.

2239 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
2240 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2241 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2242 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
2243 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
2244 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)

2257 dependency to 0.64_07.
2259 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
2260 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
2261 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
2263 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2264 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
2267 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2268 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
2269 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
2270 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
2271 coincidental exception. (t0m).
2272 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2274 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2275 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
2277 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2279 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
2280 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
2284 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
2285 method when that method was provided by another role being
2286 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
2287 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
2289 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008

2296 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
2297 - added test for this (t0m)
2299 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2300 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
2301 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
2303 - added test for this (t0m)
2306 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
2307 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
2308 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
2311 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
2312 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
2314 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
2316 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
2317 easier (Dave Rolsky)
2319 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2320 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
2321 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
2323 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2324 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
2327 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2328 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2

2330 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
2334 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
2335 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
2336 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)

2340 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
2341 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
2342 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
2345 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
2349 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash

2354 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2355 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
2356 created so that the process can be more easily

2391 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
2392 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
2394 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2395 ... this is not my day today ...
2397 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2398 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2399 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2400 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2401 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2404 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2405 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2406 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2407 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2408 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2411 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2413 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2414 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
2415 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
2416 this is not ever something you want to do
2417 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
2418 - added tests for this (stevan)
2421 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
2423 - added test for this

2432 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
2434 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
2435 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
2436 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
2439 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
2441 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
2443 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
2446 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2447 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2448 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2449 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2450 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2451 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2452 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2453 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2454 - added tests for this
2456 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2457 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
2458 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
2459 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
2461 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)

2530 which was causing the indexer to choke
2532 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2533 (late night release engineering)--
2535 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
2536 changes in this release

2548 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
2549 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
2552 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2553 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
2554 method for immutablization to check if the
2555 destructor object even needs to be created
2558 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2559 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2560 - added more descriptive error message to help
2561 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
2562 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
2564 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
2566 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
2567 XS based functionality is now optional
2568 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2569 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2570 can now be used to force non-XS versions
2572 - several of the packages have been tweaked
2573 to take care of this, mostly we added
2574 support for the package_name and name
2575 variables in all the Method metaclasses
2576 - before/around/after method modifiers now
2577 support regexp matching of names
2578 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2579 - tests added for this
2580 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
2581 is currently not supported in roles,
2582 but, ... patches welcome
2583 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2584 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2585 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2588 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2589 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2590 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2591 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
2592 same array ref form that Moose.pm does

2594 - added test for this
2596 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2597 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
2598 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
2601 * Moose::Meta::Class
2602 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
2606 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
2608 - added tests for this
2609 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
2610 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)

2613 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
2614 themselves parameterizable types

2618 called by the inlined immutable
2620 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
2622 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
2623 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
2624 (if possible) to create the anon-class
2625 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
2627 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
2628 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe

2640 show where the error is (thanks mst)
2643 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
2644 ->body when looping through the
2645 methods, to avoid the overloaded
2647 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
2648 eating the $@ values, and so not
2649 working correctly, it still kind of
2650 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
2651 - added tests for this
2653 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
2654 - added new recipe for immutable
2655 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)

2673 drink more coffee before
2674 doing release engineering
2676 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,

2710 - added test for this
2712 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor

2788 0.40 Fri. March 14, 2008
2789 - I hate Pod::Coverage
2791 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2793 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
2794 that come from recently composed roles. It makes
2795 sense, people are using it, and so why not just
2796 officially support it.
2797 - fixing the 'extends' keyword so that it will not
2798 trigger Ovid's bug (http://use.perl.org/~Ovid/journal/35763)
2801 - added the perl -Moose=+Class::Name feature to allow
2802 monkeypatching of classes in one liners

2833 from a role, it works and makes sense too.
2835 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

2837 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
2838 it ever did this originally, this means we now
2839 have slightly better support for AUTOLOADed
2841 - added more delegation tests
2842 - adding ->does method to this so as to better
2843 support traits and their introspection.
2844 - added tests for this

3084 - added tests for this
3087 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
3088 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

3127 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
3130 - fixed how required methods are handled
3131 when they encounter overriden or modified
3132 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
3133 - added tests for this
3135 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
3136 - fixed the type notation parser so that
3137 the | always creates a union and so is
3138 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
3139 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
3141 - added more tests for this
3143 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
3146 * Parameterized Types
3147 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
3148 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
3149 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
3150 They can also be nested:
3151 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
3152 And work with the type unions as well:
3153 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
3155 * Better Framework Extendability
3156 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
3157 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
3158 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
3159 section of the Moose.pm docs.
3162 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
3163 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
3164 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
3165 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

3422 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3423 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3426 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3428 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3429 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3430 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3433 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3434 !! for this developer release to work !!
3436 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3437 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3438 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3439 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3440 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3441 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3442 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3443 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3444 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3445 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3446 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3448 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3449 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3450 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3451 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3454 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3455 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3456 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3457 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3458 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3460 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3462 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3463 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3466 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3467 called unless they actually need to be.
3468 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3469 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3470 DEMOLISH method present.
3472 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3473 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3474 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3475 type constraint, which allows for a
3476 hand optimized version of the type
3477 constraint to be used when possible.
3478 - Any internally created type constraints
3479 now provide an optimized version as well.
3481 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3483 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3484 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3485 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3487 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3488 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3489 your class namespace of these exported
3492 * Moose::Meta::Class
3493 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3494 comes up during global destruction
3496 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3500 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3503 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3504 - changed how we do type checks so that
3505 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3508 - moved accessor generation methods to
3509 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3510 conform to the API changes from
3513 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3514 - changed how constraints are compiled
3515 so that we do less recursion and more
3516 iteration. This makes the type check
3518 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3521 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3522 - created this from methods formerly found in
3523 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3525 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3526 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3528 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3529 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3531 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3532 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3534 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3536 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3537 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3538 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3539 - added tests for this
3540 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3541 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3542 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3543 - removed tests for this
3545 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3547 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3548 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3549 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3552 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3553 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3554 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3556 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3557 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3558 comments for more info.
3561 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3562 asked questions and common problems
3564 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3565 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3566 - added tests for this
3568 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3569 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3570 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3571 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3573 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3574 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3577 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3578 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3579 is much appreciated :)
3580 - added tests for this
3582 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3583 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3584 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3587 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3588 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3590 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3592 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3593 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3597 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3598 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3599 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3601 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3603 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3606 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3607 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3608 keywords because we need to localize them.
3609 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3611 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3612 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3613 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3616 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3619 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3620 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3621 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3624 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3625 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3626 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3628 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3630 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3631 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3632 bottom of your class file.
3635 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3638 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3640 - improved error message when loading modules so
3641 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3642 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3643 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3646 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3647 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3648 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3650 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3651 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3653 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3654 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3655 turn them on for you.
3656 - added tests for this
3657 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3658 in Moose::Meta::Class
3661 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
3662 automatically turned on for you.

3666 - now handles an edge case for override errors
3667 - added tests for this

3681 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
3684 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
3685 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3686 - This release works in combination with
3687 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3688 release because it uses the a new
3689 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3690 complete Role implementation. It has
3691 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3692 the the previous CPAN version. This
3693 release also lacks good updated docs,
3694 the official release will have updated docs.
3697 - refactored the keyword exports
3698 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3699 accepts more than one Role at a time
3700 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3701 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3704 - refactored the keyword exports
3705 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3706 accepts more than one Role at a time
3708 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3709 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3710 string enumerations which can be used as
3712 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3715 - more careful checking of params to new()
3718 - much work done on the role composition
3719 - many new tests for conflict detection
3720 and composition edge cases
3721 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3722 looking at the tests
3724 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3725 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3726 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3728 * Moose::Meta::Class
3729 - some small changes to support the new
3731 - some small additions to support Roles
3733 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3734 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3736 - some small changes to support the new
3738 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3739 with the 'handles' option
3740 - added several tests for this
3741 - no docs for this yet
3743 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
3745 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3746 thanks to chansen for this commit
3747 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3748 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3749 on a per-attribute basis
3750 - added tests for this
3751 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3752 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3753 experimental feature and probably not finished
3754 see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
3755 more details, or ask about it on #moose
3756 - added tests for this
3759 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter

3771 construct_instance (for the better)
3773 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

3818 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
3820 - added test for this
3823 - this class can now be extended with 'use base' if
3824 you need it, it properly loads the metaclass class now
