1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
6 2.0402 Sat, Feb 04, 2012
10 * Minor documentation fixes.
12 * Fix test failure on blead (test was unnecessarily strict). Reported by
15 2.0401 Thu, Nov 17, 2011
19 * Attributes with weak_ref now weaken their associated slot when they are
20 initialized through a lazy default or builder. Reported by tome. (doy)
22 2.0400 Tue, Nov 15, 2011
26 * No changes from 2.0302 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
28 2.0302 Wed, Nov 02, 2011
32 * Fix test failure on 5.8. (Dave Rolsky)
34 * Make make_immutable return value consistent and document it to be true.
37 2.0301 Fri, Oct 21, 2011
41 * Fix compilation on 5.8. Reported by ether. (doy)
43 * A custom error class caused a warning when the class that used it was made
44 immutable. Reported by Maroš Kollár. RT #71514. (Dave Rolsky)
48 * The enum type will now allow single value enumerations. Previously, two or
49 more values were required. (rjbs)
51 2.0300 Fri, Sep 23, 2011
55 * The optimize_as option for type constraints has been deprecated. Use the
56 inline_as option to provide inlining code instead. (Dave Rolsky)
60 * Methods to introspect a class's methods will now return methods defined in
61 UNIVERSAL (isa, can, etc.). This also means that you can wrap these
62 methods with method modifiers. RT #69839. Reported by Vyacheslav
63 Matyukhin. (Dave Rolsky)
65 * The ->parent and ->parents method for a union now return the nearest
66 common ancestor of that union's component types. See Moose::Manual::Delta
67 for more details. (Dave Rolsky)
69 * The ->parents method used to return an arrayref for union types, and a
70 list of one or more types for all other types. Now they all return
73 * The ->is_subtype_of and ->is_a_type_of methods have changed their behavior
74 for union types. Previously, they returned true if any of their member
75 types returned true for a given type. Now, all of the member types must
76 return true. RT #67731. (Dave Rolsky)
80 * The Moose::Exporter module now has a "meta_lookup" option when creating an
81 importer. This allows you to specify an alternate method for determining
82 the metaclass of a caller. This is useful for modules like
83 MooseX::Role::Parameterized which generate new metaclasses on the
86 * Added a Moose::Meta::Method->is_stub method. (Dave Rolsky)
90 * A subtype of a union type did not return the right results when you called
91 ->is_subtype_of or ->is_a_type_of on it. This has been fixed. RT
94 * An attribute accessor or delegation method can overwrite a stub method and
95 this will no longer throw an error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. RT
98 * The error generated by unfulfilled method requirements during role
99 composition now mentions how to work around imported methods not being
100 recognized. Reported by Michael Schwern. RT #60583. (doy)
102 * class_type and role_type will now throw errors if you attempt to use them
103 to override existing types, just like type and subtype have always done.
106 * Implicitly creating class or role types by using them as the 'isa' or
107 'does' parameter to attribute construction will now register the type. This
108 means that it cannot later be redefined as something else. (doy)
110 * $class_type->is_subtype_of no longer returns true if passed the name of the
111 class that the class type represents when the class type wasn't registered.
114 * Removing anonymous metaclasses prematurely no longer prevents reaping of
115 the associated stash. (doy)
119 * The Class::MOP::load_class and Class::MOP::is_class_loaded subroutines are
120 no longer documented, and will cause a deprecation warning in the
121 future. Moose now uses Class::Load to provide this functionality, and you
122 should as well. (Dave Rolsky)
124 2.0205 Tue, Sep 06, 2011
128 * The Array and Hash native traits now provide a "shallow_clone" method,
129 which will return a reference to a new container with the same contents as
130 the attribute's reference.
134 * Specifying an invalid value in a hashref 'handles' value now throws a
135 sensible error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. RT #69990. (Dave
140 * When specifying an attribute trait, passing options for the trait besides
141 -alias or -excludes caused a warning. However, passing other options is
142 totally valid when using MooseX::Role::Parameterized. Fixes RT
145 * Allow regexp objects in duck_type constraints (to bring this in line with
146 the Object constraint).
148 2.0204 Thu, Aug 25, 2011
152 * Validating duck_type type constraint turned out to work only by accident,
153 and only when not running under the debugger. This has been fixed.
158 * Loosen the dependency on ExtUtils::ParseXS.
160 2.0203 Tue, Aug 23, 2011
164 * is_class_loaded now properly detects packages which have a version object
167 * Fix XS compilation under blead.
169 2.0202 Tue, Jul 26, 2011
173 * Be more consistent about how type constraint messages are handled.
175 2.0201 Fri, Jul 22, 2011
179 * Moose::Util::does_role shouldn't call ->does on things that don't inherit
182 * Make ->does initialize the metaclass, so that calling it as a class method
183 on a class which sets up inheritance via some method other than extends
184 works properly (this fixes an issue with MooseX::Types).
186 * Make Dist::CheckConflicts a runtime requirement, so moose-outdated always
189 2.0200 Mon, Jul 18, 2011
193 * No changes from 2.0105 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
195 2.0105-TRIAL Mon, Jun 27, 2011
199 * Moose::Util::does_role now respects overridden ->does methods. (doy)
201 2.0104-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
205 * Include changes from 2.0010.
207 2.0103-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
211 * Several things that have been deprecated for a while have been removed. See
212 the 2.0000 section in Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
216 * New Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::union function for creating union type
217 constraints without having to rely on the string type constraint parsing.
218 This also allows for creating unions of anonymous type constraints.
223 * Include changes from Moose 2.0009.
225 2.0102-TRIAL Sat, Jun 18, 2011
229 * The native Array trait now has a 'first_index' method, which works just
230 like the version in List::MoreUtils. (Karen Etheridge)
232 * Clean up some internal code to help out extensions.
236 * Include changes from Moose 2.0008.
238 2.0101-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
242 * Various packaging issues.
244 2.0100-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
248 * Using a hand-optimized type constraint is now deprecated. In keeping with
249 our release policy, this won't actually start warning until the 2.0200
254 * Type constraints can now provide inlined versions, which should make
255 inlined code which uses type constraints (such as accessors) faster. This
256 replaces the existing hand-optimized constraint feature. (Dave Rolsky)
260 * Remove a lot of cases where generated methods closed over meta objects.
261 Most simple cases should now only close over simple data types and
262 coderefs. This should make deparsing simpler.
264 2.0010 Mon, Jun 20, 2011
268 * Fix regression in 2.0009 and 2.0103 when applying roles during init_meta in
269 an exporter that also re-exports Moose or Moose::Role. (t0m, ilmari)
271 2.0009 Sun, Jun 19, 2011
275 * duck_type type constraints now report reasonable errors when given
276 something which isn't an instance of an object. (t0m)
278 * Moose::Util::apply_all_roles now works even if the applicant is a non-Moose
281 * When an object is reblessed, triggers are called on attributes that are
282 set during the reblessing. (Karen Etheridge).
286 * Better error message if Moose->init_meta is called with a 'metaclass'
287 option when that metaclass hasn't been loaded. (jasonmay)
289 2.0008 Thu, Jun 16, 2011
293 * The 'accessor' native delegation for hashrefs now allows setting the value
294 to undef. (sugoik, doy)
298 * Various generated methods have more useful context information. (doy)
300 2.0007 Sun, May 15, 2011
304 * Make sure weak attributes remain weak when cloning. (doy, rafl)
306 2.0006 Mon, May 09, 2011
310 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
311 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
313 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
317 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
319 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
323 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
325 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
326 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
328 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
332 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
333 skips every other role. (rjbs)
335 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
336 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
337 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
338 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
339 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
341 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
345 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
346 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
347 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
350 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
355 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
357 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
358 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
360 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
364 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
365 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
366 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
370 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
371 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
373 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
374 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
376 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
377 environments. (doy, mateu)
379 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
383 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
384 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
385 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
386 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
390 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
391 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
393 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
397 * Update conflicts list.
400 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
404 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
405 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
406 details. (Dave Rolsky)
408 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
409 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
410 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
411 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
412 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
416 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
417 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
418 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
419 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
420 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
423 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
427 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
428 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
430 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
433 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
437 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
438 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
439 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
440 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
442 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
443 immutable classes). (mo)
445 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
446 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
447 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
449 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
453 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
455 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
457 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
461 * Fix some indexing issues.
463 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
465 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
469 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
470 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
471 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
472 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
473 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
475 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
476 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
481 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
482 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
483 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
484 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
486 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
487 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
488 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
492 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
493 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
496 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
500 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
501 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
505 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
509 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
510 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
511 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
512 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
515 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
519 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
522 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
526 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
527 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
528 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
531 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
535 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
536 policy. (Chris Prather)
538 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
539 on this new support policy. (doy)
543 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
544 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
545 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
547 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
548 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
550 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
554 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
555 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
556 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
557 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
560 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
564 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
565 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
568 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
572 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
573 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
575 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
576 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
580 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
581 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
582 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
583 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
584 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
585 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
587 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
588 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
590 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
591 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
592 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
593 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
595 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
596 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
598 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
603 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
604 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
606 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
610 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
611 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
612 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
614 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
618 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
619 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
620 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
622 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
623 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
626 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
627 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
630 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
631 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
632 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
634 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
635 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
640 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
641 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
642 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
643 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
645 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
646 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
648 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
649 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
651 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
652 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
653 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
654 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
656 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
657 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
658 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
661 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
662 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
663 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
664 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
666 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
667 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
670 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
671 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
672 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
674 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
678 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
679 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
680 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
682 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
683 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
684 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
687 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
688 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
689 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
691 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
692 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
693 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
695 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
696 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
700 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
701 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
702 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
704 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
705 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
706 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
707 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
709 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
713 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
714 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
715 value is a reference.
717 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
718 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
720 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
724 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
725 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
726 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
728 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
732 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
733 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
737 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
738 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
739 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
741 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
742 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
743 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
745 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
749 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
751 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
755 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
757 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
758 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
763 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
764 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
766 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
767 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
768 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
769 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
770 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
772 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
773 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
774 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
775 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
777 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
781 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
782 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
787 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
789 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
791 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
796 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
798 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
802 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
803 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
804 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
806 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
807 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
808 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
809 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
811 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
812 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
813 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
814 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
815 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
818 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
823 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
824 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
825 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
826 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
827 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
830 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
834 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
837 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
838 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
842 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
843 function (not just method). (doy)
847 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
848 and aren't easily installable/testable.
850 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
854 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
855 to be overridden more easily (doy).
857 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
861 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
862 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
864 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
868 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
869 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
870 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
872 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
876 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
877 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
878 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
880 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
881 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
885 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
886 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
888 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
889 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
893 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
894 is applied to a class (t0m).
896 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
897 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
899 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
902 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
903 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
905 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
906 be much more robust. (doy)
908 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
910 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
913 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
917 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
918 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
920 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
924 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
925 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
927 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
930 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
931 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
932 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
934 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
935 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
936 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
939 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
941 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
945 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
946 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
950 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
952 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
956 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
957 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
961 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
962 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
966 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
968 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
972 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
973 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
977 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
978 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
982 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
983 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
985 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
989 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
990 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
991 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
994 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
998 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
999 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
1000 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
1001 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
1003 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
1007 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
1008 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
1009 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
1013 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
1014 (Michael G. Schwern)
1016 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
1020 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
1021 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
1022 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
1026 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
1027 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
1029 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
1030 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
1031 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
1032 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
1034 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
1038 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
1042 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
1043 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
1045 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
1046 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
1047 - Moose::Util::does_role
1048 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
1049 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
1050 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
1052 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
1056 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
1057 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
1058 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
1061 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1065 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
1066 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
1069 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1073 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
1074 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
1077 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
1081 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
1083 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
1084 class. (Dave Rolsky).
1086 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
1087 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
1088 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
1090 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
1091 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
1092 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
1095 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
1096 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1098 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
1099 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
1100 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
1102 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
1104 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
1105 substr et al, again. (sorear)
1107 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
1109 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
1112 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
1113 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
1115 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
1116 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
1118 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
1119 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
1120 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
1121 dependencies installed.
1123 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
1124 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
1127 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
1129 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
1133 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1135 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1136 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
1137 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
1139 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1140 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
1141 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
1143 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
1144 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
1147 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
1148 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
1149 others. (nothingmuch)
1151 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1152 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
1153 remove_accessors. (doy)
1155 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1156 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
1157 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
1159 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
1160 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
1162 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
1163 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1164 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
1165 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
1167 * Moose::Meta::Class
1168 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
1169 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
1171 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1172 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
1174 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
1176 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
1177 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
1180 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1181 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
1182 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
1183 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
1184 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
1186 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
1187 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
1188 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
1189 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
1190 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
1191 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
1192 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
1195 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
1196 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
1197 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
1198 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
1199 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
1201 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
1202 which were not receiving the value of
1203 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
1204 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
1205 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
1206 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
1210 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
1211 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
1212 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
1213 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
1214 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
1217 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1218 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
1219 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
1220 - added tests for this (Stevan)
1222 * Moose::Meta::Class
1223 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
1224 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
1225 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
1228 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
1229 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1230 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
1232 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1233 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
1234 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
1237 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
1238 class if you pass it options for
1239 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
1240 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
1241 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
1242 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
1243 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
1244 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
1245 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
1246 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
1247 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
1249 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1250 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
1251 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
1252 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
1253 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
1256 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
1257 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1258 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
1259 existing delegation API. (hdp)
1261 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1262 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
1263 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
1264 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
1265 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
1266 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
1269 * Moose::Error::Croak
1270 * Moose::Error::Confess
1271 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
1272 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
1275 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
1278 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
1279 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
1280 installing a broken sub. (doy)
1282 * Moose::Meta::Class
1283 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
1286 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
1287 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1288 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
1290 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1291 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1292 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
1293 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
1294 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
1296 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1297 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
1300 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
1302 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1303 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1306 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1307 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1309 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1310 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1311 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1312 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1314 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1315 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1316 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1317 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1318 using it for new code!
1320 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1321 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1322 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1323 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1325 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1326 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1327 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1328 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1329 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1330 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1331 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1332 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1335 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1338 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1339 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1342 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1343 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1345 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1346 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1347 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1349 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1350 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1351 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1352 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1354 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1355 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1356 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1358 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1359 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1360 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1363 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1364 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1365 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1366 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1367 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1368 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1370 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1372 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1375 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1376 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1377 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1379 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1380 associated_methods. (hdp)
1381 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1382 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1383 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1384 misspelled) arguments
1386 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1387 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1388 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1389 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1391 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1392 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1393 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1395 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1398 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1399 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1400 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1403 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1404 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1406 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1407 * Moose::Meta::Class
1408 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1409 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1411 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1412 * Moose::Manual::Types
1413 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1414 string parsing rathole (mst)
1416 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1417 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1418 using plain objects instead
1420 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1421 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1422 that's what we need.
1424 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1425 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1426 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1427 three times today (perigrin)
1428 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1429 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1431 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1432 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1433 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1434 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1437 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1438 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1439 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1440 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1441 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1442 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1445 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1446 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1447 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1448 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1451 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1453 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1456 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1458 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1461 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1462 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1463 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1467 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1468 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1471 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1472 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)

1475 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1476 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1478 * Moose::Unsweetened
1479 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1481 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1482 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1485 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1489 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1490 methods during global destruction (doy)
1492 * Moose::Meta::Class
1493 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1494 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1495 consumption (Sartak)
1497 * Moose::Meta::Class
1498 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1499 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1502 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1503 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1506 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1507 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1509 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1511 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1515 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1516 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1517 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1520 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1521 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1522 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1525 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1527 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1528 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1529 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1532 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1533 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1534 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1535 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1537 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1538 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1539 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1542 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1545 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1546 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1547 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1551 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1552 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1554 * Moose::Meta::Class
1555 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1557 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1559 * Moose::Meta::Class
1560 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1561 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1564 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1565 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1568 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1569 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1572 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1575 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1577 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1578 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1581 * Moose::Meta::Class
1582 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1584 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1585 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1588 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1589 * More deprecations and renamings
1590 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1591 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1592 when an object is constructed)
1595 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1596 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1597 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1599 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1600 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1601 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1602 feature, and it works again.
1605 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1607 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1609 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1610 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1611 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1613 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1614 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1615 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1616 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1617 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1619 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1620 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1621 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1622 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1623 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1626 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1627 metaclass object. (hdp)
1629 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1630 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1631 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1632 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1633 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1634 point out this fact. (hdp)
1636 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1637 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1639 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1640 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1642 * Moose::Meta::Class
1643 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1644 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1645 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1646 called during instance construction were passed the
1647 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1648 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1650 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1651 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1654 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1655 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1656 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1659 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1660 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1661 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1662 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1663 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1665 - Moose::Meta::Class
1666 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1668 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1669 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1670 when an object is constructed)
1671 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1673 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1674 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1675 when an object is constructed)
1676 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1677 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1678 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1681 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1683 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1684 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1686 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1688 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1689 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1690 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1692 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1693 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1694 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1696 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1698 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1699 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1701 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1702 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1705 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1706 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1709 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1710 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1711 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1713 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1714 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1718 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1719 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1720 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1722 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1723 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1726 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1727 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1728 with recommended workarounds.
1730 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1731 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1733 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1734 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1735 (yes, spelled like that).
1737 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1738 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1740 * Moose::Meta::Class
1741 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1742 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1744 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1746 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1747 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1748 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1749 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1750 instead. Reported by doy.
1752 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1754 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1755 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1757 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1758 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1759 message) is now deprecated.
1760 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1761 often got it wrong. For example:
1763 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1765 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1769 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1770 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1771 bite you in weird cases.
1773 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1774 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1775 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1776 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1778 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1779 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1783 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1786 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1787 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1790 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1791 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1793 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1794 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1797 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1798 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1799 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1800 - added tests for this (stevan)
1802 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1803 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1804 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1805 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1809 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1810 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1811 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1812 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1814 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1815 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1816 - added tests for this (rafl)
1818 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1819 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1820 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1821 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1825 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1826 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1829 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1830 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1831 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1833 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1835 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1836 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1838 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1839 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1840 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1841 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1842 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1844 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1845 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1846 error message did not specify the attribute name
1849 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1851 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1853 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1854 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1855 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1857 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1858 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1861 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1863 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1864 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1865 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1866 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1868 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1870 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1871 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1872 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1873 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1875 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1876 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1877 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1879 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1880 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1881 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1882 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1883 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1885 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1886 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1887 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1888 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1889 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1891 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1892 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1893 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1894 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1895 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1896 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1898 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1899 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1900 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1901 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1902 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1903 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1905 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1906 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1908 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1909 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1910 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1911 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1913 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1914 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1917 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1921 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1922 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1924 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1925 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1926 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1927 guts. (nothingmuch).
1929 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1930 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1931 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1933 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1934 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1935 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1936 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1938 * Moose::Meta::Class
1939 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1942 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1943 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1945 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1946 * Moose::Unsweetened
1947 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1950 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1951 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1952 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1953 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1954 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1955 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1957 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1958 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1959 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1960 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1961 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1962 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1963 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1964 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1965 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1966 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1968 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1970 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1971 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1973 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1974 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1975 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1976 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1978 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1979 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1980 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1981 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1982 same methods for a single role did not work
1983 right (worked just fine with multiple
1985 - added test for this (stevan)
1987 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1988 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1989 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1992 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1993 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1994 - added test for this (t0m)
1997 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1998 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1999 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
2001 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2002 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
2003 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
2004 - added test for this (t0m)
2006 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2007 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
2008 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
2009 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
2010 - added test for this (perigrin)
2013 - create method for constructing a role
2014 dynamically (Sartak)
2015 - added test for this (Sartak)
2016 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
2017 - added test for this (Sartak)
2020 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
2022 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
2023 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
2024 methods is useful (Sartak)
2026 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
2027 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2028 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
2031 * Moose::Meta::Class
2032 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
2033 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
2034 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
2035 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
2036 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
2037 - added tests for this (jdv79)
2040 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
2041 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
2043 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
2044 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
2045 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
2046 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
2047 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
2049 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
2051 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
2052 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2053 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
2056 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
2057 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
2058 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
2059 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
2060 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
2061 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
2064 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2065 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
2066 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
2067 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
2068 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
2069 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
2070 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
2071 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
2072 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
2073 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
2074 future. (jnapiorkowski)
2076 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2077 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
2080 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2081 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
2082 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
2083 type. (jnapiorkowski)
2084 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2086 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
2088 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
2089 predicate, and link to more details sections in
2090 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
2092 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2093 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
2095 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2096 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
2097 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
2098 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2101 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
2102 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
2104 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
2106 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
2107 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
2109 * Moose::Meta::Class
2110 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
2111 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
2112 a required attribute
2114 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
2115 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
2116 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
2117 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
2119 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2120 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
2122 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2123 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
2124 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
2125 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
2126 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
2127 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
2128 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
2129 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
2131 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
2132 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
2133 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
2135 * Roles and role application
2136 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
2137 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
2138 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
2139 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
2140 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
2142 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
2143 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
2146 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
2147 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
2148 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
2149 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
2150 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
2153 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
2154 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
2155 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
2156 changes in the Moose internals.
2158 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
2159 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2160 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
2163 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2164 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
2165 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
2166 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
2168 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2169 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
2170 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
2171 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
2173 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2174 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
2175 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
2176 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
2177 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
2178 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
2179 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
2180 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
2181 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
2182 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
2183 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
2184 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
2185 constraint implementations.
2187 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
2191 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
2192 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
2193 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
2194 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
2195 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
2196 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
2197 - added tests for this (rafl)
2199 * Moose::Meta::Class
2200 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
2201 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
2202 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
2203 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
2204 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
2205 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
2206 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
2207 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
2210 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
2211 - added tests for this (thepler)
2213 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2214 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
2215 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
2216 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
2219 * Moose::Meta::Class
2220 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2221 * Moose::Meta::Method
2224 * Moose::Error::Default
2225 * Moose::Error::Croak
2226 * Moose::Error::Confess
2227 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
2228 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
2229 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
2230 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
2231 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
2232 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
2234 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
2236 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
2237 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
2239 * Moose::Unsweetened
2240 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
2241 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
2242 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
2244 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2245 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
2246 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
2247 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
2248 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2251 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
2252 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
2254 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
2255 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
2256 several major changes in this release of Moose.
2257 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
2260 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
2262 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
2263 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
2265 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
2268 - Various bug fixes.
2270 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
2271 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
2273 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
2275 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
2276 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2277 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2278 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
2279 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
2280 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
2282 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2283 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
2284 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
2286 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
2287 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
2288 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
2291 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
2292 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
2293 dependency to 0.64_07.
2295 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
2296 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
2297 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
2299 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2300 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
2303 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2304 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
2305 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
2306 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
2307 coincidental exception. (t0m).
2308 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2310 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2311 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
2313 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2315 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
2316 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
2320 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
2321 method when that method was provided by another role being
2322 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
2323 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
2325 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
2327 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
2328 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
2330 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2331 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
2332 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
2333 - added test for this (t0m)
2335 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2336 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
2337 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
2339 - added test for this (t0m)
2342 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
2343 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
2344 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
2347 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
2348 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
2350 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
2352 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
2353 easier (Dave Rolsky)
2355 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2356 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
2357 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
2359 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2360 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
2363 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2364 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2365 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
2366 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
2370 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
2371 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
2372 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
2375 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
2376 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
2377 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
2378 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
2381 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
2385 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
2386 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
2387 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
2389 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
2390 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2391 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
2392 created so that the process can be more easily

2405 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
2407 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
2408 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
2409 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
2411 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
2412 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
2413 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
2415 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
2416 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
2418 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2419 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
2422 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2423 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
2427 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
2428 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
2430 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2431 ... this is not my day today ...
2433 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2434 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2435 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2436 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2437 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2440 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2441 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2442 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2443 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2444 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2447 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2449 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2450 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
2451 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
2452 this is not ever something you want to do
2453 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
2454 - added tests for this (stevan)
2457 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
2459 - added test for this
2461 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2462 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
2463 - added tests for this (wreis)
2465 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
2466 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
2467 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
2468 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
2470 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
2471 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
2472 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
2475 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
2477 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
2479 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
2482 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2483 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2484 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2485 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2486 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2487 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2488 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2489 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2490 - added tests for this
2492 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2493 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
2494 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
2495 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
2497 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)

2553 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
2555 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2556 - move the ClassName type check code to
2557 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
2559 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
2560 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
2562 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2563 (early morning release engineering)--
2565 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2566 which was causing the indexer to choke
2568 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2569 (late night release engineering)--
2571 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
2572 changes in this release
2574 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008

2580 since it is called so often by &meta
2582 * Moose::Meta::Class
2584 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
2585 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
2588 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2589 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
2590 method for immutablization to check if the
2591 destructor object even needs to be created
2594 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2595 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2596 - added more descriptive error message to help
2597 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
2598 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
2600 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
2602 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
2603 XS based functionality is now optional
2604 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2605 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2606 can now be used to force non-XS versions
2608 - several of the packages have been tweaked
2609 to take care of this, mostly we added
2610 support for the package_name and name
2611 variables in all the Method metaclasses
2612 - before/around/after method modifiers now
2613 support regexp matching of names
2614 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2615 - tests added for this
2616 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
2617 is currently not supported in roles,
2618 but, ... patches welcome
2619 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2620 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2621 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2624 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2625 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2626 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2627 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
2628 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
2629 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
2630 - added test for this
2632 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2633 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
2634 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
2637 * Moose::Meta::Class
2638 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
2642 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
2644 - added tests for this
2645 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
2646 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2648 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2649 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
2650 themselves parameterizable types
2652 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2653 - fixed bug where trigger was not being
2654 called by the inlined immutable
2656 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
2658 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
2659 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
2660 (if possible) to create the anon-class
2661 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
2663 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
2664 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
2668 - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was

2676 show where the error is (thanks mst)
2679 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
2680 ->body when looping through the
2681 methods, to avoid the overloaded
2683 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
2684 eating the $@ values, and so not
2685 working correctly, it still kind of
2686 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
2687 - added tests for this
2689 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
2690 - added new recipe for immutable
2691 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2693 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe9

2699 and exclusion with Roles (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2702 - fixed Win32 test failure (thanks spicyjack)

2705 since Module::Install has done that.
2707 0.43 Wed. April, 30, 2008
2709 drink more coffee before
2710 doing release engineering
2712 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
2713 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr
2714 modules. This fixes that.

2717 - some bad tests slipped by, nothing else
2718 changed in this release (cpantesters++)
2720 - upped the Class::MOP dependency to 0.55

2727 - Changed all usage of die to Carp::croak for better
2728 error reporting (initial patch by Tod Hagan)
2730 ** IMPORTANT NOTE **
2731 - the make_immutable keyword is now deprecated, don't
2732 use it in any new code and please fix your old code
2733 as well. There will be 2 releases, and then it will
2739 - refactored the way inner and super work to avoid
2740 any method/@ISA cache penalty (nothingmuch)

2744 coerced value (spotted by Charles Alderman on the
2746 - added test for this
2748 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2749 - immutable classes which had non-lazy attributes were calling
2750 the default generating sub twice in the constructor. (bug
2751 found by Jesse Luehrs, fixed by Dave Rolsky)

2771 to allow introspection of traits
2772 - added tests for this
2773 - moved 'trait' and 'metaclass' argument handling to here from
2775 - clone_and_inherit_options now handles 'trait' and 'metaclass' (has
2776 '+foo' syntax) (nothingmuch)

2827 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2829 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
2830 that come from recently composed roles. It makes
2831 sense, people are using it, and so why not just

2873 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
2874 it ever did this originally, this means we now

2877 - added more delegation tests
2878 - adding ->does method to this so as to better
2879 support traits and their introspection.
2880 - added tests for this

3120 - added tests for this
3123 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
3124 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

3167 when they encounter overriden or modified
3168 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
3169 - added tests for this
3171 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint

3179 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
3182 * Parameterized Types
3183 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
3184 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
3185 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
3186 They can also be nested:
3187 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
3188 And work with the type unions as well:
3189 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
3191 * Better Framework Extendability
3192 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
3193 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
3194 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
3195 section of the Moose.pm docs.
3198 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
3199 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
3200 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
3201 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

3462 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3464 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3465 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3466 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3469 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3470 !! for this developer release to work !!
3472 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3473 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3474 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3475 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3476 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3477 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3478 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3479 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3480 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3481 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3482 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3484 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3485 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3486 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3487 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3490 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3491 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3492 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3493 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3494 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3496 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3498 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3499 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3502 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3503 called unless they actually need to be.
3504 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3505 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3506 DEMOLISH method present.
3508 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3509 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3510 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3511 type constraint, which allows for a
3512 hand optimized version of the type
3513 constraint to be used when possible.
3514 - Any internally created type constraints
3515 now provide an optimized version as well.
3517 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3519 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3520 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3521 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3523 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3524 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3525 your class namespace of these exported
3528 * Moose::Meta::Class
3529 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3530 comes up during global destruction
3532 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3536 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3539 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3540 - changed how we do type checks so that
3541 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3544 - moved accessor generation methods to
3545 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3546 conform to the API changes from
3549 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3550 - changed how constraints are compiled
3551 so that we do less recursion and more
3552 iteration. This makes the type check
3554 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3557 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3558 - created this from methods formerly found in
3559 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3561 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3562 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3564 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3565 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3567 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3568 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3570 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3572 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3573 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3574 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3575 - added tests for this
3576 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3577 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3578 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3579 - removed tests for this
3581 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3583 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3584 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3585 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3588 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3589 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3590 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3592 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3593 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3594 comments for more info.
3597 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3598 asked questions and common problems
3600 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3601 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3602 - added tests for this
3604 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3605 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3606 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3607 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3609 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3610 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3613 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3614 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3615 is much appreciated :)
3616 - added tests for this
3618 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3619 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3620 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3623 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3624 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3626 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3628 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3629 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3633 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3634 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3635 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3637 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3639 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3642 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3643 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3644 keywords because we need to localize them.
3645 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3647 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3648 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3649 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3652 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3655 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3656 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3657 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3660 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3661 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3662 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3664 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3666 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3667 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3668 bottom of your class file.
3671 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3674 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3676 - improved error message when loading modules so
3677 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3678 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3679 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3682 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3683 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3684 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3686 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3687 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3689 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3690 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3691 turn them on for you.
3692 - added tests for this
3693 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3694 in Moose::Meta::Class
3697 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
3698 automatically turned on for you.

3720 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
3721 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3722 - This release works in combination with
3723 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3724 release because it uses the a new
3725 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3726 complete Role implementation. It has
3727 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3728 the the previous CPAN version. This
3729 release also lacks good updated docs,
3730 the official release will have updated docs.
3733 - refactored the keyword exports
3734 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3735 accepts more than one Role at a time
3736 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3737 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3740 - refactored the keyword exports
3741 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3742 accepts more than one Role at a time
3744 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3745 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3746 string enumerations which can be used as
3748 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3751 - more careful checking of params to new()
3754 - much work done on the role composition
3755 - many new tests for conflict detection
3756 and composition edge cases
3757 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3758 looking at the tests
3760 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3761 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3762 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3764 * Moose::Meta::Class
3765 - some small changes to support the new
3767 - some small additions to support Roles
3769 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3770 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3772 - some small changes to support the new
3774 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3775 with the 'handles' option
3776 - added several tests for this
3777 - no docs for this yet
3779 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
3781 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3782 thanks to chansen for this commit
3783 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3784 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3785 on a per-attribute basis
3786 - added tests for this
3787 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3788 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3789 experimental feature and probably not finished

3791 more details, or ask about it on #moose
3792 - added tests for this

3807 construct_instance (for the better)
3809 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

3854 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
3856 - added test for this
3859 - this class can now be extended with 'use base' if
