1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * Fix compilation on 5.8. Reported by ether. (doy)
10 * A custom error class caused a warning when the class that used it was made
11 immutable. Reported by Maroš Kollár. RT #71514. (Dave Rolsky)
15 * The enum type will now allow single value enumerations. Previously, two or
16 more values were required. (rjbs)
18 2.0300 Fri, Sep 23, 2011
22 * The optimize_as option for type constraints has been deprecated. Use the
23 inline_as option to provide inlining code instead. (Dave Rolsky)
27 * Methods to introspect a class's methods will now return methods defined in
28 UNIVERSAL (isa, can, etc.). This also means that you can wrap these
29 methods with method modifiers. RT #69839. Reported by Vyacheslav
30 Matyukhin. (Dave Rolsky)
32 * The ->parent and ->parents method for a union now return the nearest
33 common ancestor of that union's component types. See Moose::Manual::Delta
34 for more details. (Dave Rolsky)
36 * The ->parents method used to return an arrayref for union types, and a
37 list of one or more types for all other types. Now they all return
40 * The ->is_subtype_of and ->is_a_type_of methods have changed their behavior
41 for union types. Previously, they returned true if any of their member
42 types returned true for a given type. Now, all of the member types must
43 return true. RT #67731. (Dave Rolsky)
47 * The Moose::Exporter module now has a "meta_lookup" option when creating an
48 importer. This allows you to specify an alternate method for determining
49 the metaclass of a caller. This is useful for modules like
50 MooseX::Role::Parameterized which generate new metaclasses on the
53 * Added a Moose::Meta::Method->is_stub method. (Dave Rolsky)
57 * A subtype of a union type did not return the right results when you called
58 ->is_subtype_of or ->is_a_type_of on it. This has been fixed. RT
61 * An attribute accessor or delegation method can overwrite a stub method and
62 this will no longer throw an error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. RT
65 * The error generated by unfulfilled method requirements during role
66 composition now mentions how to work around imported methods not being
67 recognized. Reported by Michael Schwern. RT #60583. (doy)
69 * class_type and role_type will now throw errors if you attempt to use them
70 to override existing types, just like type and subtype have always done.
73 * Implicitly creating class or role types by using them as the 'isa' or
74 'does' parameter to attribute construction will now register the type. This
75 means that it cannot later be redefined as something else. (doy)
77 * $class_type->is_subtype_of no longer returns true if passed the name of the
78 class that the class type represents when the class type wasn't registered.
81 * Removing anonymous metaclasses prematurely no longer prevents reaping of
82 the associated stash. (doy)
86 * The Class::MOP::load_class and Class::MOP::is_class_loaded subroutines are
87 no longer documented, and will cause a deprecation warning in the
88 future. Moose now uses Class::Load to provide this functionality, and you
89 should as well. (Dave Rolsky)
91 2.0205 Tue, Sep 06, 2011
95 * The Array and Hash native traits now provide a "shallow_clone" method,
96 which will return a reference to a new container with the same contents as
97 the attribute's reference.
101 * Specifying an invalid value in a hashref 'handles' value now throws a
102 sensible error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. RT #69990. (Dave
107 * When specifying an attribute trait, passing options for the trait besides
108 -alias or -excludes caused a warning. However, passing other options is
109 totally valid when using MooseX::Role::Parameterized. Fixes RT
112 * Allow regexp objects in duck_type constraints (to bring this in line with
113 the Object constraint).
115 2.0204 Thu, Aug 25, 2011
119 * Validating duck_type type constraint turned out to work only by accident,
120 and only when not running under the debugger. This has been fixed.
125 * Loosen the dependency on ExtUtils::ParseXS.
127 2.0203 Tue, Aug 23, 2011
131 * is_class_loaded now properly detects packages which have a version object
134 * Fix XS compilation under blead.
136 2.0202 Tue, Jul 26, 2011
140 * Be more consistent about how type constraint messages are handled.
142 2.0201 Fri, Jul 22, 2011
146 * Moose::Util::does_role shouldn't call ->does on things that don't inherit
149 * Make ->does initialize the metaclass, so that calling it as a class method
150 on a class which sets up inheritance via some method other than extends
151 works properly (this fixes an issue with MooseX::Types).
153 * Make Dist::CheckConflicts a runtime requirement, so moose-outdated always
156 2.0200 Mon, Jul 18, 2011
160 * No changes from 2.0105 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
162 2.0105-TRIAL Mon, Jun 27, 2011
166 * Moose::Util::does_role now respects overridden ->does methods. (doy)
168 2.0104-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
172 * Include changes from 2.0010.
174 2.0103-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
178 * Several things that have been deprecated for a while have been removed. See
179 the 2.0000 section in Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
183 * New Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::union function for creating union type
184 constraints without having to rely on the string type constraint parsing.
185 This also allows for creating unions of anonymous type constraints.
190 * Include changes from Moose 2.0009.
192 2.0102-TRIAL Sat, Jun 18, 2011
196 * The native Array trait now has a 'first_index' method, which works just
197 like the version in List::MoreUtils. (Karen Etheridge)
199 * Clean up some internal code to help out extensions.
203 * Include changes from Moose 2.0008.
205 2.0101-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
209 * Various packaging issues.
211 2.0100-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
215 * Using a hand-optimized type constraint is now deprecated. In keeping with
216 our release policy, this won't actually start warning until the 2.0200
221 * Type constraints can now provide inlined versions, which should make
222 inlined code which uses type constraints (such as accessors) faster. This
223 replaces the existing hand-optimized constraint feature. (Dave Rolsky)
227 * Remove a lot of cases where generated methods closed over meta objects.
228 Most simple cases should now only close over simple data types and
229 coderefs. This should make deparsing simpler.
231 2.0010 Mon, Jun 20, 2011
235 * Fix regression in 2.0009 and 2.0103 when applying roles during init_meta in
236 an exporter that also re-exports Moose or Moose::Role. (t0m, ilmari)
238 2.0009 Sun, Jun 19, 2011
242 * duck_type type constraints now report reasonable errors when given
243 something which isn't an instance of an object. (t0m)
245 * Moose::Util::apply_all_roles now works even if the applicant is a non-Moose
248 * When an object is reblessed, triggers are called on attributes that are
249 set during the reblessing. (Karen Etheridge).
253 * Better error message if Moose->init_meta is called with a 'metaclass'
254 option when that metaclass hasn't been loaded. (jasonmay)
256 2.0008 Thu, Jun 16, 2011
260 * The 'accessor' native delegation for hashrefs now allows setting the value
261 to undef. (sugoik, doy)
265 * Various generated methods have more useful context information. (doy)
267 2.0007 Sun, May 15, 2011
271 * Make sure weak attributes remain weak when cloning. (doy, rafl)
273 2.0006 Mon, May 09, 2011
277 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
278 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
280 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
284 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
286 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
290 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
292 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
293 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
295 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
299 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
300 skips every other role. (rjbs)
302 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
303 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
304 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
305 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
306 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
308 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
312 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
313 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
314 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
317 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
322 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
324 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
325 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
327 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
331 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
332 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
333 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
337 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
338 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
340 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
341 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
343 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
344 environments. (doy, mateu)
346 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
350 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
351 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
352 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
353 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
357 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
358 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
360 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
364 * Update conflicts list.
367 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
371 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
372 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
373 details. (Dave Rolsky)
375 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
376 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
377 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
378 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
379 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
383 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
384 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
385 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
386 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
387 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
390 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
394 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
395 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
397 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
400 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
404 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
405 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
406 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
407 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
409 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
410 immutable classes). (mo)
412 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
413 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
414 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
416 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
420 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
422 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
424 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
428 * Fix some indexing issues.
430 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
432 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
436 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
437 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
438 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
439 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
440 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
442 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
443 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
448 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
449 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
450 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
451 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
453 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
454 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
455 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
459 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
460 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
463 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
467 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
468 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
472 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
476 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
477 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
478 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
479 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
482 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
486 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
489 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
493 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
494 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
495 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
498 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
502 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
503 policy. (Chris Prather)
505 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
506 on this new support policy. (doy)
510 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
511 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
512 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
514 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
515 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
517 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
521 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
522 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
523 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
524 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
527 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
531 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
532 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
535 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
539 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
540 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
542 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
543 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
547 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
548 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
549 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
550 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
551 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
552 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
554 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
555 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
557 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
558 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
559 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
560 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
562 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
563 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
565 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
570 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
571 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
573 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
577 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
578 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
579 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
581 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
585 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
586 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
587 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
589 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
590 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
593 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
594 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
597 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
598 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
599 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
601 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
602 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
607 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
608 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
609 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
610 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
612 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
613 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
615 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
616 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
618 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
619 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
620 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
621 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
623 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
624 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
625 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
628 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
629 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
630 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
631 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
633 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
634 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
637 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
638 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
639 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
641 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
645 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
646 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
647 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
649 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
650 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
651 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
654 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
655 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
656 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
658 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
659 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
660 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
662 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
663 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
667 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
668 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
669 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
671 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
672 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
673 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
674 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
676 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
680 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
681 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
682 value is a reference.
684 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
685 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
687 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
691 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
692 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
693 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
695 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
699 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
700 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
704 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
705 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
706 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
708 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
709 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
710 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
712 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
716 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
718 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
722 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
724 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
725 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
730 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
731 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
733 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
734 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
735 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
736 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
737 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
739 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
740 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
741 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
742 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
744 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
748 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
749 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
754 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
756 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
758 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
763 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
765 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
769 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
770 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
771 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
773 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
774 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
775 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
776 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
778 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
779 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
780 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
781 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
782 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
785 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
790 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
791 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
792 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
793 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
794 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
797 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
801 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
804 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
805 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
809 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
810 function (not just method). (doy)
814 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
815 and aren't easily installable/testable.
817 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
821 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
822 to be overridden more easily (doy).
824 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
828 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
829 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
831 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
835 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
836 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
837 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
839 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
843 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
844 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
845 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
847 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
848 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
852 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
853 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
855 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
856 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
860 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
861 is applied to a class (t0m).
863 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
864 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
866 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
869 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
870 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
872 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
873 be much more robust. (doy)
875 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
877 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
880 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
884 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
885 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
887 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
891 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
892 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
894 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
897 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
898 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
899 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
901 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
902 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
903 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
906 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
908 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
912 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
913 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
917 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
919 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
923 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
924 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
928 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
929 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
933 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
935 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
939 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
940 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
944 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
945 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
949 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
950 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
952 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
956 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
957 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
958 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
961 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
965 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
966 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
967 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
968 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
970 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
974 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
975 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
976 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
980 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
983 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
987 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
988 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
989 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
993 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
994 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
996 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
997 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
998 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
999 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
1001 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
1005 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
1009 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
1010 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
1012 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
1013 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
1014 - Moose::Util::does_role
1015 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
1016 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
1017 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
1019 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
1023 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
1024 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
1025 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
1028 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1032 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
1033 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
1036 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1040 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
1041 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
1044 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
1048 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
1050 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
1051 class. (Dave Rolsky).
1053 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
1054 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
1055 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
1057 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
1058 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
1059 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
1062 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
1063 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1065 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
1066 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
1067 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
1069 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
1071 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
1072 substr et al, again. (sorear)
1074 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
1076 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
1079 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
1080 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
1082 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
1083 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
1085 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
1086 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
1087 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
1088 dependencies installed.
1090 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
1091 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
1094 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
1096 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
1100 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1102 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1103 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
1104 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
1106 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1107 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
1108 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
1110 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
1111 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
1114 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
1115 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
1116 others. (nothingmuch)
1118 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1119 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
1120 remove_accessors. (doy)
1122 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1123 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
1124 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
1126 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
1127 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
1129 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
1130 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1131 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
1132 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
1134 * Moose::Meta::Class
1135 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
1136 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
1138 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1139 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
1141 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
1143 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
1144 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
1147 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1148 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
1149 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
1150 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
1151 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
1153 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
1154 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
1155 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
1156 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
1157 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
1158 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
1159 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
1162 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
1163 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
1164 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
1165 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
1166 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
1168 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
1169 which were not receiving the value of
1170 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
1171 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
1172 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
1173 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
1177 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
1178 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
1179 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
1180 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
1181 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
1184 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1185 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
1186 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
1187 - added tests for this (Stevan)
1189 * Moose::Meta::Class
1190 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
1191 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
1192 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
1195 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
1196 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1197 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
1199 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1200 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
1201 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
1204 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
1205 class if you pass it options for
1206 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
1207 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
1208 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
1209 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
1210 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
1211 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
1212 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
1213 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
1214 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
1216 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1217 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
1218 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
1219 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
1220 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
1223 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
1224 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1225 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
1226 existing delegation API. (hdp)
1228 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1229 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
1230 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
1231 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
1232 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
1233 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
1236 * Moose::Error::Croak
1237 * Moose::Error::Confess
1238 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
1239 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
1242 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
1245 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
1246 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
1247 installing a broken sub. (doy)
1249 * Moose::Meta::Class
1250 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
1253 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
1254 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1255 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
1257 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1258 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1259 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
1260 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
1261 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
1263 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1264 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
1267 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
1269 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1270 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1273 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1274 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1276 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1277 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1278 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1279 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1281 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1282 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1283 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1284 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1285 using it for new code!
1287 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1288 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1289 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1290 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1292 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1293 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1294 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1295 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1296 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1297 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1298 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1299 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1302 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1305 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1306 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1309 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1310 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1312 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1313 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1314 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1316 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1317 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1318 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1319 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1321 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1322 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1323 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1325 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1326 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1327 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1330 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1331 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1332 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1333 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1334 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1335 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1337 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1339 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1342 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1343 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1344 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1346 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1347 associated_methods. (hdp)
1348 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1349 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1350 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1351 misspelled) arguments
1353 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1354 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1355 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1356 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1358 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1359 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1360 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1362 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1365 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1366 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1367 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1370 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1371 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1373 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1374 * Moose::Meta::Class
1375 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1376 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1378 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1379 * Moose::Manual::Types
1380 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1381 string parsing rathole (mst)
1383 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1384 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1385 using plain objects instead
1387 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1388 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1389 that's what we need.
1391 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1392 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1393 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1394 three times today (perigrin)
1395 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1396 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1398 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1399 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1400 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1401 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1404 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1405 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1406 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1407 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1408 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1409 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1412 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1413 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1414 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1415 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1418 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1420 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1423 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1425 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1428 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1429 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1430 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1434 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1435 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1438 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1439 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1441 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1442 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1443 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1445 * Moose::Unsweetened
1446 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1448 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1449 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1452 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1456 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1457 methods during global destruction (doy)
1459 * Moose::Meta::Class
1460 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1461 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1462 consumption (Sartak)
1464 * Moose::Meta::Class
1465 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1466 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1469 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1470 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1473 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1474 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1476 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1478 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1482 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1483 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1484 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1487 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1488 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1489 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1492 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1494 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1495 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1496 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1499 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1500 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1501 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1502 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1504 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1505 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1506 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1509 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1512 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1513 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1514 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1518 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1519 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1521 * Moose::Meta::Class
1522 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1524 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1526 * Moose::Meta::Class
1527 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1528 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1531 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1532 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1535 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1536 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1539 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1542 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1544 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1545 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1548 * Moose::Meta::Class
1549 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1551 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1552 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1555 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1556 * More deprecations and renamings
1557 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1558 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1559 when an object is constructed)
1562 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1563 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1564 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1566 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1567 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1568 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1569 feature, and it works again.
1572 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1574 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1576 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1577 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1578 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1580 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1581 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1582 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1583 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1584 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1586 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1587 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1588 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1589 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1590 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1593 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1594 metaclass object. (hdp)
1596 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1597 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1598 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1599 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1600 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1601 point out this fact. (hdp)
1603 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1604 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1606 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1607 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1609 * Moose::Meta::Class
1610 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1611 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1612 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1613 called during instance construction were passed the
1614 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1615 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1617 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1618 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1621 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1622 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1623 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1626 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1627 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1628 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1629 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1630 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1632 - Moose::Meta::Class
1633 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1635 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1636 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1637 when an object is constructed)
1638 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1640 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1641 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1642 when an object is constructed)
1643 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1644 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1645 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1648 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1650 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1651 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1653 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1655 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1656 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1657 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1659 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1660 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1661 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1663 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1665 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1666 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1668 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1669 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1672 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1673 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1676 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1677 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1678 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1680 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1681 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1685 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1686 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1687 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1689 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1690 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1693 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1694 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1695 with recommended workarounds.
1697 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1698 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1700 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1701 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1702 (yes, spelled like that).
1704 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1705 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1707 * Moose::Meta::Class
1708 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1709 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1711 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1713 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1714 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1715 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1716 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1717 instead. Reported by doy.
1719 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1721 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1722 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1724 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1725 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1726 message) is now deprecated.
1727 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1728 often got it wrong. For example:
1730 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1732 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1736 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1737 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1738 bite you in weird cases.
1740 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1741 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1742 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1743 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1745 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1746 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1750 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1753 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1754 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1757 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1758 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1760 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1761 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1764 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1765 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1766 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1767 - added tests for this (stevan)
1769 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1770 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1771 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1772 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1776 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1777 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1778 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1779 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1781 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1782 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1783 - added tests for this (rafl)
1785 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1786 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1787 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1788 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1792 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1793 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1796 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1797 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1798 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1800 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1802 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1803 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1805 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1806 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1807 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1808 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1809 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1811 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1812 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1813 error message did not specify the attribute name
1816 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1818 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1820 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1821 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1822 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1824 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1825 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1828 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1830 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1831 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1832 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1833 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1835 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1837 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1838 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1839 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1840 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1842 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1843 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1844 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1846 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1847 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1848 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1849 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1850 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1852 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1853 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1854 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1855 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1856 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1858 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1859 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1860 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1861 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1862 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1863 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1865 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1866 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1867 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1868 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1869 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1870 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1872 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1873 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1875 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1876 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1877 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1878 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1880 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1881 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1884 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1888 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1889 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1891 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1892 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1893 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1894 guts. (nothingmuch).
1896 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1897 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1898 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1900 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1901 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1902 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1903 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1905 * Moose::Meta::Class
1906 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1909 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1910 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1912 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1913 * Moose::Unsweetened
1914 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1917 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1918 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1919 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1920 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1921 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1922 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1924 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1925 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1926 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1927 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1928 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1929 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1930 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1931 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1932 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1933 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1935 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1937 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1938 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1940 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1941 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1942 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1943 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1945 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1946 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1947 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1948 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1949 same methods for a single role did not work
1950 right (worked just fine with multiple
1952 - added test for this (stevan)
1954 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1955 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1956 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1959 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1960 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1961 - added test for this (t0m)
1964 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1965 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1966 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1968 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1969 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1970 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1971 - added test for this (t0m)
1973 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1974 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1975 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1976 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1977 - added test for this (perigrin)
1980 - create method for constructing a role
1981 dynamically (Sartak)
1982 - added test for this (Sartak)
1983 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1984 - added test for this (Sartak)
1987 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1989 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1990 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1991 methods is useful (Sartak)
1993 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1994 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1995 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1998 * Moose::Meta::Class
1999 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
2000 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
2001 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
2002 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
2003 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
2004 - added tests for this (jdv79)
2007 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
2008 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
2010 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
2011 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
2012 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
2013 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
2014 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
2016 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
2018 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
2019 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2020 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
2023 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
2024 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
2025 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
2026 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
2027 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
2028 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
2031 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2032 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
2033 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
2034 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
2035 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
2036 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
2037 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
2038 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
2039 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
2040 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
2041 future. (jnapiorkowski)
2043 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2044 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
2047 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2048 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
2049 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
2050 type. (jnapiorkowski)
2051 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2053 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
2055 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
2056 predicate, and link to more details sections in
2057 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
2059 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2060 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
2062 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2063 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
2064 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
2065 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2068 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
2069 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
2071 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
2073 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
2074 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
2076 * Moose::Meta::Class
2077 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
2078 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
2079 a required attribute
2081 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
2082 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
2083 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
2084 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
2086 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2087 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
2089 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2090 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
2091 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
2092 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
2093 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
2094 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
2095 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
2096 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
2098 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
2099 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
2100 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
2102 * Roles and role application
2103 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
2104 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
2105 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
2106 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
2107 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
2109 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
2110 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
2113 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
2114 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
2115 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
2116 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
2117 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
2120 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
2121 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
2122 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
2123 changes in the Moose internals.
2125 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
2126 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2127 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
2130 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2131 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
2132 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
2133 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
2135 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2136 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
2137 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
2138 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
2140 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2141 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
2142 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
2143 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
2144 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
2145 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
2146 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
2147 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
2148 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
2149 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
2150 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
2151 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
2152 constraint implementations.
2154 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
2158 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
2159 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
2160 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
2161 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
2162 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
2163 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
2164 - added tests for this (rafl)
2166 * Moose::Meta::Class
2167 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
2168 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
2169 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
2170 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
2171 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
2172 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
2173 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
2174 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
2177 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
2178 - added tests for this (thepler)
2180 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2181 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
2182 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
2183 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
2186 * Moose::Meta::Class
2187 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2188 * Moose::Meta::Method
2191 * Moose::Error::Default
2192 * Moose::Error::Croak
2193 * Moose::Error::Confess
2194 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
2195 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
2196 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
2197 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
2198 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
2199 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
2201 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
2203 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
2204 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
2206 * Moose::Unsweetened
2207 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
2208 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
2209 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
2211 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2212 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
2213 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
2214 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
2215 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2218 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
2219 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
2221 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
2222 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
2223 several major changes in this release of Moose.
2224 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
2227 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
2229 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
2230 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
2232 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
2235 - Various bug fixes.

2242 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
2243 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2244 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2245 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
2246 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
2247 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)

2260 dependency to 0.64_07.
2262 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
2263 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
2264 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
2266 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2267 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
2270 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2271 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
2272 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
2273 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
2274 coincidental exception. (t0m).
2275 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2277 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2278 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
2280 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2282 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
2283 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
2287 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
2288 method when that method was provided by another role being
2289 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
2290 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
2292 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008

2299 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
2300 - added test for this (t0m)
2302 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2303 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
2304 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
2306 - added test for this (t0m)
2309 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
2310 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
2311 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
2314 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
2315 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
2317 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
2319 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
2320 easier (Dave Rolsky)
2322 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2323 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
2324 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
2326 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2327 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
2330 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2331 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2

2333 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
2337 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
2338 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
2339 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)

2343 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
2344 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
2345 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
2348 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
2352 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash

2354 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
2356 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
2357 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2358 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
2359 created so that the process can be more easily

2394 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
2395 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
2397 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2398 ... this is not my day today ...
2400 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2401 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2402 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2403 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2404 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2407 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2408 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2409 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2410 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2411 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2414 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2416 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2417 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
2418 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
2419 this is not ever something you want to do
2420 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
2421 - added tests for this (stevan)
2424 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
2426 - added test for this

2435 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
2437 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
2438 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
2439 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
2442 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
2444 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
2446 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
2449 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2450 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2451 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2452 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2453 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2454 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2455 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2456 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2457 - added tests for this
2459 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2460 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
2461 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
2462 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
2464 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)

2527 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
2529 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2530 (early morning release engineering)--
2532 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2533 which was causing the indexer to choke
2535 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2536 (late night release engineering)--
2538 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
2539 changes in this release
2541 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008

2549 * Moose::Meta::Class
2551 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
2552 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
2555 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2556 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
2557 method for immutablization to check if the
2558 destructor object even needs to be created
2561 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2562 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2563 - added more descriptive error message to help
2564 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
2565 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
2567 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
2569 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
2570 XS based functionality is now optional
2571 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2572 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2573 can now be used to force non-XS versions
2575 - several of the packages have been tweaked
2576 to take care of this, mostly we added
2577 support for the package_name and name
2578 variables in all the Method metaclasses
2579 - before/around/after method modifiers now
2580 support regexp matching of names
2581 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2582 - tests added for this
2583 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
2584 is currently not supported in roles,
2585 but, ... patches welcome
2586 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2587 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2588 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2591 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2592 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2593 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2594 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
2595 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
2596 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
2597 - added test for this
2599 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2600 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
2601 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
2604 * Moose::Meta::Class
2605 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
2609 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
2611 - added tests for this
2612 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
2613 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2615 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2616 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
2617 themselves parameterizable types
2619 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor

2621 called by the inlined immutable
2623 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
2625 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
2626 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
2627 (if possible) to create the anon-class
2628 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
2630 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
2631 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe

2643 show where the error is (thanks mst)
2646 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
2647 ->body when looping through the
2648 methods, to avoid the overloaded
2650 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
2651 eating the $@ values, and so not
2652 working correctly, it still kind of
2653 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
2654 - added tests for this
2656 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
2657 - added new recipe for immutable
2658 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2660 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe9

2676 drink more coffee before
2677 doing release engineering
2679 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,

2684 - some bad tests slipped by, nothing else
2685 changed in this release (cpantesters++)

2713 - added test for this
2715 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor

2791 0.40 Fri. March 14, 2008
2792 - I hate Pod::Coverage
2794 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2796 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
2797 that come from recently composed roles. It makes
2798 sense, people are using it, and so why not just
2799 officially support it.
2800 - fixing the 'extends' keyword so that it will not
2801 trigger Ovid's bug (http://use.perl.org/~Ovid/journal/35763)
2804 - added the perl -Moose=+Class::Name feature to allow
2805 monkeypatching of classes in one liners

2840 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
2841 it ever did this originally, this means we now

3087 - added tests for this
3090 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
3091 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

3130 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
3133 - fixed how required methods are handled
3134 when they encounter overriden or modified
3135 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
3136 - added tests for this
3138 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
3139 - fixed the type notation parser so that
3140 the | always creates a union and so is
3141 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
3142 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
3144 - added more tests for this
3146 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
3149 * Parameterized Types
3150 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
3151 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
3152 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
3153 They can also be nested:
3154 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
3155 And work with the type unions as well:
3156 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
3158 * Better Framework Extendability
3159 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
3160 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
3161 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
3162 section of the Moose.pm docs.
3165 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
3166 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
3167 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
3168 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

3412 then default to just loading $name.
3413 - added tests and docs for this
3415 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3416 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3417 - added test for this

3422 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3423 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3425 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3426 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3429 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3431 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3432 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3433 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3436 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3437 !! for this developer release to work !!
3439 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3440 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3441 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3442 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3443 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3444 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3445 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3446 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3447 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3448 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3449 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3451 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3452 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3453 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3454 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3457 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3458 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3459 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3460 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3461 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3463 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3465 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3466 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3469 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3470 called unless they actually need to be.
3471 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3472 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3473 DEMOLISH method present.
3475 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3476 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3477 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3478 type constraint, which allows for a
3479 hand optimized version of the type
3480 constraint to be used when possible.
3481 - Any internally created type constraints
3482 now provide an optimized version as well.
3484 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3486 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3487 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3488 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3490 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3491 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3492 your class namespace of these exported
3495 * Moose::Meta::Class
3496 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3497 comes up during global destruction
3499 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3503 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3506 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3507 - changed how we do type checks so that
3508 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3511 - moved accessor generation methods to
3512 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3513 conform to the API changes from
3516 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3517 - changed how constraints are compiled
3518 so that we do less recursion and more
3519 iteration. This makes the type check
3521 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3524 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3525 - created this from methods formerly found in
3526 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3528 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3529 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3531 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3532 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3534 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3535 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3537 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3539 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3540 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3541 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3542 - added tests for this
3543 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3544 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3545 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3546 - removed tests for this
3548 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3550 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3551 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3552 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3555 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3556 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3557 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3559 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3560 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3561 comments for more info.
3564 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3565 asked questions and common problems
3567 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3568 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3569 - added tests for this
3571 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3572 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3573 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3574 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3576 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3577 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3580 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3581 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3582 is much appreciated :)
3583 - added tests for this
3585 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3586 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3587 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3590 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3591 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3593 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3595 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3596 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3600 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3601 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3602 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3604 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3606 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3609 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3610 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3611 keywords because we need to localize them.
3612 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3614 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3615 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3616 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3619 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3622 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3623 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3624 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3627 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3628 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3629 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3631 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3633 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3634 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3635 bottom of your class file.
3638 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3641 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3643 - improved error message when loading modules so
3644 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3645 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3646 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3649 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3650 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3651 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3653 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3654 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3656 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3657 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3658 turn them on for you.
3659 - added tests for this
3660 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3661 in Moose::Meta::Class
3664 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
3665 automatically turned on for you.

3669 - now handles an edge case for override errors
3670 - added tests for this

3684 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
3687 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
3688 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3689 - This release works in combination with
3690 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3691 release because it uses the a new
3692 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3693 complete Role implementation. It has
3694 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3695 the the previous CPAN version. This
3696 release also lacks good updated docs,
3697 the official release will have updated docs.
3700 - refactored the keyword exports
3701 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3702 accepts more than one Role at a time
3703 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3704 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3707 - refactored the keyword exports
3708 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3709 accepts more than one Role at a time
3711 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3712 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3713 string enumerations which can be used as
3715 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3718 - more careful checking of params to new()
3721 - much work done on the role composition
3722 - many new tests for conflict detection
3723 and composition edge cases
3724 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3725 looking at the tests
3727 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3728 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3729 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3731 * Moose::Meta::Class
3732 - some small changes to support the new
3734 - some small additions to support Roles
3736 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3737 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3739 - some small changes to support the new
3741 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3742 with the 'handles' option
3743 - added several tests for this
3744 - no docs for this yet
3746 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
3748 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3749 thanks to chansen for this commit
3750 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3751 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3752 on a per-attribute basis
3753 - added tests for this
3754 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3755 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3756 experimental feature and probably not finished
3757 see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
3758 more details, or ask about it on #moose
3759 - added tests for this
3762 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter

3774 construct_instance (for the better)
3776 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

3821 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
3823 - added test for this
3826 - this class can now be extended with 'use base' if
3827 you need it, it properly loads the metaclass class now
