1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
6 2.0500 Tue, Apr 03, 2012
10 * Class::MOP::Class now has methods for introspecting and modifying the
11 overloaded operators for a class. (doy)
15 * The cookbook recipes have all been renamed. Instead of numbered recipes
16 (Basics::Recipe1), we now have descriptive names
17 (Basics::Point_AttributesAndSubclassing). This makes it easier for us to
18 add and remove recipes in the future, and makes it a little easier to
19 converse about them, since the name gives us some clue of what they
24 * Re-declaring a class_type or role_type constraint that has already been
25 declared now just returns the original type constraint, rather than
26 replacing the original constraint and ergo losing any coercions that were
27 on the original constraint. Fixes RT #73289. (t0m)
29 * Moose::Exporter now calls init_meta methods in the correct order, when
30 multiple levels of 'also' parameters are specified. Reported by Rocco
31 Caputo. (doy, perigrin)
33 * Moose::Exporter no longer generates init_meta methods in order to apply
34 metaroles, since the metaclass itself isn't guaranteed to exist yet at that
35 point. Metaroles are now applied at the end of import, after all
36 user-defined init_meta methods have been called. Fixes RT #51561. (doy)
38 * Fixed a memory leak. This occurred when creating an anonymous
39 class. Immutabilizing an anonymous class still leaks memory due to a bug in
40 Eval::Closure (which should hopefully be fixed soon). Based on code and bug
41 report from Carlos Lima. RT #74650.
43 * Fix a segfault when adding a method to a class which was defined in a
44 package which was deleted. (doy)
46 2.0402 Sat, Feb 04, 2012
50 * Minor documentation fixes.
52 * Fix test failure on blead (test was unnecessarily strict). Reported by
55 2.0401 Thu, Nov 17, 2011
59 * Attributes with weak_ref now weaken their associated slot when they are
60 initialized through a lazy default or builder. Reported by tome. (doy)
62 2.0400 Tue, Nov 15, 2011
66 * No changes from 2.0302 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
68 2.0302 Wed, Nov 02, 2011
72 * Fix test failure on 5.8. (Dave Rolsky)
74 * Make make_immutable return value consistent and document it to be true.
77 2.0301 Fri, Oct 21, 2011
81 * Fix compilation on 5.8. Reported by ether. (doy)
83 * A custom error class caused a warning when the class that used it was made
84 immutable. Reported by Maroš Kollár. RT #71514. (Dave Rolsky)
88 * The enum type will now allow single value enumerations. Previously, two or
89 more values were required. (rjbs)
91 2.0300 Fri, Sep 23, 2011
95 * The optimize_as option for type constraints has been deprecated. Use the
96 inline_as option to provide inlining code instead. (Dave Rolsky)
100 * Methods to introspect a class's methods will now return methods defined in
101 UNIVERSAL (isa, can, etc.). This also means that you can wrap these
102 methods with method modifiers. RT #69839. Reported by Vyacheslav
103 Matyukhin. (Dave Rolsky)
105 * The ->parent and ->parents method for a union now return the nearest
106 common ancestor of that union's component types. See Moose::Manual::Delta
107 for more details. (Dave Rolsky)
109 * The ->parents method used to return an arrayref for union types, and a
110 list of one or more types for all other types. Now they all return
113 * The ->is_subtype_of and ->is_a_type_of methods have changed their behavior
114 for union types. Previously, they returned true if any of their member
115 types returned true for a given type. Now, all of the member types must
116 return true. RT #67731. (Dave Rolsky)
120 * The Moose::Exporter module now has a "meta_lookup" option when creating an
121 importer. This allows you to specify an alternate method for determining
122 the metaclass of a caller. This is useful for modules like
123 MooseX::Role::Parameterized which generate new metaclasses on the
126 * Added a Moose::Meta::Method->is_stub method. (Dave Rolsky)
130 * A subtype of a union type did not return the right results when you called
131 ->is_subtype_of or ->is_a_type_of on it. This has been fixed. RT
132 #70322. (Dave Rolsky)
134 * An attribute accessor or delegation method can overwrite a stub method and
135 this will no longer throw an error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. RT
136 #69988. (Dave Rolsky)
138 * The error generated by unfulfilled method requirements during role
139 composition now mentions how to work around imported methods not being
140 recognized. Reported by Michael Schwern. RT #60583. (doy)
142 * class_type and role_type will now throw errors if you attempt to use them
143 to override existing types, just like type and subtype have always done.
146 * Implicitly creating class or role types by using them as the 'isa' or
147 'does' parameter to attribute construction will now register the type. This
148 means that it cannot later be redefined as something else. (doy)
150 * $class_type->is_subtype_of no longer returns true if passed the name of the
151 class that the class type represents when the class type wasn't registered.
154 * Removing anonymous metaclasses prematurely no longer prevents reaping of
155 the associated stash. (doy)
159 * The Class::MOP::load_class and Class::MOP::is_class_loaded subroutines are
160 no longer documented, and will cause a deprecation warning in the
161 future. Moose now uses Class::Load to provide this functionality, and you
162 should as well. (Dave Rolsky)
164 2.0205 Tue, Sep 06, 2011
168 * The Array and Hash native traits now provide a "shallow_clone" method,
169 which will return a reference to a new container with the same contents as
170 the attribute's reference.
174 * Specifying an invalid value in a hashref 'handles' value now throws a
175 sensible error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. RT #69990. (Dave
180 * When specifying an attribute trait, passing options for the trait besides
181 -alias or -excludes caused a warning. However, passing other options is
182 totally valid when using MooseX::Role::Parameterized. Fixes RT
185 * Allow regexp objects in duck_type constraints (to bring this in line with
186 the Object constraint).
188 2.0204 Thu, Aug 25, 2011
192 * Validating duck_type type constraint turned out to work only by accident,
193 and only when not running under the debugger. This has been fixed.
198 * Loosen the dependency on ExtUtils::ParseXS.
200 2.0203 Tue, Aug 23, 2011
204 * is_class_loaded now properly detects packages which have a version object
207 * Fix XS compilation under blead.
209 2.0202 Tue, Jul 26, 2011
213 * Be more consistent about how type constraint messages are handled.
215 2.0201 Fri, Jul 22, 2011
219 * Moose::Util::does_role shouldn't call ->does on things that don't inherit
222 * Make ->does initialize the metaclass, so that calling it as a class method
223 on a class which sets up inheritance via some method other than extends
224 works properly (this fixes an issue with MooseX::Types).
226 * Make Dist::CheckConflicts a runtime requirement, so moose-outdated always
229 2.0200 Mon, Jul 18, 2011
233 * No changes from 2.0105 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
235 2.0105-TRIAL Mon, Jun 27, 2011
239 * Moose::Util::does_role now respects overridden ->does methods. (doy)
241 2.0104-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
245 * Include changes from 2.0010.
247 2.0103-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
251 * Several things that have been deprecated for a while have been removed. See
252 the 2.0000 section in Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
256 * New Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::union function for creating union type
257 constraints without having to rely on the string type constraint parsing.
258 This also allows for creating unions of anonymous type constraints.
263 * Include changes from Moose 2.0009.
265 2.0102-TRIAL Sat, Jun 18, 2011
269 * The native Array trait now has a 'first_index' method, which works just
270 like the version in List::MoreUtils. (Karen Etheridge)
272 * Clean up some internal code to help out extensions.
276 * Include changes from Moose 2.0008.
278 2.0101-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
282 * Various packaging issues.
284 2.0100-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
288 * Using a hand-optimized type constraint is now deprecated. In keeping with
289 our release policy, this won't actually start warning until the 2.0200
294 * Type constraints can now provide inlined versions, which should make
295 inlined code which uses type constraints (such as accessors) faster. This
296 replaces the existing hand-optimized constraint feature. (Dave Rolsky)
300 * Remove a lot of cases where generated methods closed over meta objects.
301 Most simple cases should now only close over simple data types and
302 coderefs. This should make deparsing simpler.
304 2.0010 Mon, Jun 20, 2011
308 * Fix regression in 2.0009 and 2.0103 when applying roles during init_meta in
309 an exporter that also re-exports Moose or Moose::Role. (t0m, ilmari)
311 2.0009 Sun, Jun 19, 2011
315 * duck_type type constraints now report reasonable errors when given
316 something which isn't an instance of an object. (t0m)
318 * Moose::Util::apply_all_roles now works even if the applicant is a non-Moose
321 * When an object is reblessed, triggers are called on attributes that are
322 set during the reblessing. (Karen Etheridge).
326 * Better error message if Moose->init_meta is called with a 'metaclass'
327 option when that metaclass hasn't been loaded. (jasonmay)
329 2.0008 Thu, Jun 16, 2011
333 * The 'accessor' native delegation for hashrefs now allows setting the value
334 to undef. (sugoik, doy)
338 * Various generated methods have more useful context information. (doy)
340 2.0007 Sun, May 15, 2011
344 * Make sure weak attributes remain weak when cloning. (doy, rafl)
346 2.0006 Mon, May 09, 2011
350 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
351 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
353 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
357 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
359 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
363 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
365 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
366 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
368 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
372 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
373 skips every other role. (rjbs)
375 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
376 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
377 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
378 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
379 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
381 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
385 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
386 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
387 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
390 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
395 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
397 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
398 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
400 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
404 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
405 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
406 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
410 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
411 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
413 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
414 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
416 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
417 environments. (doy, mateu)
419 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
423 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
424 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
425 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
426 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
430 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
431 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
433 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
437 * Update conflicts list.
440 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
444 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
445 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
446 details. (Dave Rolsky)
448 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
449 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
450 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
451 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
452 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
456 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
457 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
458 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
459 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
460 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
463 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
467 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
468 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
470 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
473 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
477 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
478 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
479 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
480 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
482 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
483 immutable classes). (mo)
485 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
486 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
487 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
489 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
493 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
495 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
497 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
501 * Fix some indexing issues.
503 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
505 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
509 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
510 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
511 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
512 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
513 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
515 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
516 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
521 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
522 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
523 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
524 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
526 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
527 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
528 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
532 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
533 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
536 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
540 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
541 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
545 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
549 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
550 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
551 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
552 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
555 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
559 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
562 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
566 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
567 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
568 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
571 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
575 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
576 policy. (Chris Prather)
578 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
579 on this new support policy. (doy)
583 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
584 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
585 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
587 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
588 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
590 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
594 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
595 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
596 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
597 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
600 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
604 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
605 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
608 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
612 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
613 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
615 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
616 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
620 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
621 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
622 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
623 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
624 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
625 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
627 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
628 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
630 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
631 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
632 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
633 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
635 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
636 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
638 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
643 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
644 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
646 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
650 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
651 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
652 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
654 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
658 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
659 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
660 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
662 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
663 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
666 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
667 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
670 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
671 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
672 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
674 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
675 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
680 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
681 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
682 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
683 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
685 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
686 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
688 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
689 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
691 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
692 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
693 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
694 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
696 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
697 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
698 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
701 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
702 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
703 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
704 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
706 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
707 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
710 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
711 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
712 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
714 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
718 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
719 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
720 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
722 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
723 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
724 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
727 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
728 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
729 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
731 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
732 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
733 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
735 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
736 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
740 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
741 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
742 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
744 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
745 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
746 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
747 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
749 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
753 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
754 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
755 value is a reference.
757 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
758 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
760 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
764 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
765 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
766 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
768 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
772 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
773 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
777 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
778 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
779 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
781 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
782 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
783 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
785 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
789 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
791 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
795 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
797 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
798 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
803 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
804 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
806 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
807 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
808 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
809 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
810 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
812 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
813 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
814 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
815 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
817 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
821 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
822 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
827 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
829 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
831 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
836 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
838 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
842 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
843 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
844 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
846 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
847 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
848 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
849 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
851 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
852 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
853 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
854 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
855 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
858 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
863 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
864 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
865 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
866 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
867 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
870 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
874 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
877 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
878 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
882 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
883 function (not just method). (doy)
887 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
888 and aren't easily installable/testable.
890 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
894 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
895 to be overridden more easily (doy).
897 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
901 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
902 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
904 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
908 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
909 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
910 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
912 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
916 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
917 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
918 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
920 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
921 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
925 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
926 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
928 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
929 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
933 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
934 is applied to a class (t0m).
936 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
937 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
939 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
942 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
943 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
945 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
946 be much more robust. (doy)
948 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
950 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
953 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
957 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
958 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
960 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
964 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
965 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
967 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
970 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
971 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
972 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
974 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
975 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
976 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
979 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
981 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
985 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
986 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
990 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
992 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
996 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
997 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
1001 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
1002 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
1006 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
1008 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
1012 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
1013 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
1017 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
1018 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
1022 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
1023 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
1025 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
1029 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
1030 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
1031 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
1034 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
1038 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
1039 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
1040 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
1041 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
1043 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
1047 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
1048 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
1049 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
1053 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
1054 (Michael G. Schwern)
1056 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
1060 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
1061 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
1062 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
1066 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
1067 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
1069 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
1070 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
1071 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
1072 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
1074 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
1078 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
1082 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
1083 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
1085 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
1086 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
1087 - Moose::Util::does_role
1088 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
1089 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
1090 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
1092 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
1096 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
1097 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
1098 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
1101 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1105 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
1106 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
1109 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1113 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
1114 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
1117 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
1121 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
1123 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
1124 class. (Dave Rolsky).
1126 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
1127 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
1128 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
1130 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
1131 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
1132 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
1135 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
1136 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1138 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
1139 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
1140 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
1142 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
1144 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
1145 substr et al, again. (sorear)
1147 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
1149 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
1152 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
1153 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
1155 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
1156 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
1158 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
1159 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
1160 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
1161 dependencies installed.
1163 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
1164 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
1167 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
1169 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
1173 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1175 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1176 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
1177 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
1179 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1180 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
1181 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
1183 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
1184 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
1187 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
1188 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
1189 others. (nothingmuch)
1191 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1192 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
1193 remove_accessors. (doy)
1195 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1196 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
1197 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
1199 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
1200 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
1202 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
1203 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1204 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
1205 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
1207 * Moose::Meta::Class
1208 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
1209 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
1211 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1212 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
1214 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
1216 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
1217 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
1220 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1221 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
1222 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
1223 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
1224 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
1226 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
1227 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
1228 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
1229 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
1230 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
1231 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
1232 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
1235 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
1236 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
1237 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
1238 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
1239 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
1241 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
1242 which were not receiving the value of
1243 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
1244 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
1245 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
1246 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
1250 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
1251 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
1252 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
1253 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
1254 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
1257 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1258 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
1259 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
1260 - added tests for this (Stevan)
1262 * Moose::Meta::Class
1263 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
1264 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
1265 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
1268 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
1269 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1270 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
1272 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1273 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
1274 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
1277 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
1278 class if you pass it options for
1279 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
1280 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
1281 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
1282 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
1283 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
1284 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
1285 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
1286 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
1287 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
1289 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1290 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
1291 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
1292 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
1293 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
1296 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
1297 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1298 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
1299 existing delegation API. (hdp)
1301 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1302 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
1303 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
1304 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
1305 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
1306 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
1309 * Moose::Error::Croak
1310 * Moose::Error::Confess
1311 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
1312 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
1315 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
1318 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
1319 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
1320 installing a broken sub. (doy)
1322 * Moose::Meta::Class
1323 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
1326 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
1327 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1328 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
1330 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1331 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1332 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
1333 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
1334 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
1336 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1337 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
1340 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
1342 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1343 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1346 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1347 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1349 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1350 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1351 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1352 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1354 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1355 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1356 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1357 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1358 using it for new code!
1360 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1361 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1362 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1363 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1365 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1366 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1367 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1368 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1369 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1370 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1371 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1372 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1375 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1378 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1379 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1382 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1383 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1385 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1386 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1387 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1389 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1390 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1391 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1392 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1394 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1395 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1396 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1398 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1399 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1400 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1403 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1404 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1405 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1406 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1407 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1408 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1410 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1412 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1415 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1416 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1417 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1419 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1420 associated_methods. (hdp)
1421 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1422 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1423 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1424 misspelled) arguments
1426 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1427 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1428 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1429 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1431 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1432 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1433 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1435 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1438 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1439 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1440 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1443 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1444 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1446 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1447 * Moose::Meta::Class
1448 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1449 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1451 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1452 * Moose::Manual::Types
1453 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1454 string parsing rathole (mst)
1456 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1457 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1458 using plain objects instead
1460 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1461 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1462 that's what we need.
1464 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1465 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1466 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1467 three times today (perigrin)
1468 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1469 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1471 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1472 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1473 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1474 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1477 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1478 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1479 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1480 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1481 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1482 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1485 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1486 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1487 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1488 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1491 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1493 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1496 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1498 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1501 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1502 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1503 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1507 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1508 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1511 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1512 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1514 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1515 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1516 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1518 * Moose::Unsweetened
1519 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1521 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1522 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1525 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1529 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1530 methods during global destruction (doy)
1532 * Moose::Meta::Class
1533 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1534 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1535 consumption (Sartak)
1537 * Moose::Meta::Class
1538 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1539 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1542 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1543 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1546 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1547 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1549 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1551 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1555 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1556 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1557 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1560 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1561 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1562 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1565 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1567 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1568 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1569 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1572 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1573 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1574 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1575 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1577 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1578 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1579 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1582 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1585 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1586 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1587 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1591 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1592 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1594 * Moose::Meta::Class
1595 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1597 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1599 * Moose::Meta::Class
1600 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1601 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1604 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1605 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1608 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1609 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1612 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1615 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1617 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1618 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1621 * Moose::Meta::Class
1622 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1624 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1625 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1628 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1629 * More deprecations and renamings
1630 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1631 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1632 when an object is constructed)
1635 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1636 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1637 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1639 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1640 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1641 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1642 feature, and it works again.
1645 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1647 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1649 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1650 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1651 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1653 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1654 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1655 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1656 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1657 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1659 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1660 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1661 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1662 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1663 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1666 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1667 metaclass object. (hdp)
1669 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1670 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1671 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1672 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1673 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1674 point out this fact. (hdp)
1676 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1677 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1679 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1680 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1682 * Moose::Meta::Class
1683 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1684 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1685 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1686 called during instance construction were passed the
1687 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1688 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1690 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1691 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1694 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1695 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1696 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1699 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1700 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1701 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1702 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1703 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1705 - Moose::Meta::Class
1706 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1708 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1709 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1710 when an object is constructed)
1711 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1713 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1714 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1715 when an object is constructed)
1716 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1717 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1718 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1721 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1723 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1724 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1726 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1728 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1729 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1730 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1732 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1733 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1734 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1736 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1738 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1739 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1741 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1742 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1745 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1746 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1749 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1750 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1751 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1753 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1754 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1758 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1759 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1760 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1762 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1763 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1766 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1767 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1768 with recommended workarounds.
1770 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1771 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1773 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1774 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1775 (yes, spelled like that).
1777 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1778 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1780 * Moose::Meta::Class
1781 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1782 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1784 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1786 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1787 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1788 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1789 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1790 instead. Reported by doy.
1792 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1794 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1795 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1797 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1798 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1799 message) is now deprecated.
1800 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1801 often got it wrong. For example:
1803 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1805 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1809 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1810 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1811 bite you in weird cases.
1813 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1814 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1815 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1816 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1818 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1819 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1823 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1826 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1827 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1830 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1831 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1833 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1834 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1837 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1838 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1839 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1840 - added tests for this (stevan)
1842 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1843 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1844 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1845 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1849 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1850 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1851 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1852 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1854 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1855 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1856 - added tests for this (rafl)
1858 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1859 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1860 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1861 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1865 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1866 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1869 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1870 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1871 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1873 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1875 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1876 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1878 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1879 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1880 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1881 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1882 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1884 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1885 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1886 error message did not specify the attribute name
1889 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1891 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1893 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1894 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1895 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1897 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1898 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1901 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1903 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1904 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1905 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1906 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1908 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1910 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1911 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1912 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1913 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1915 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1916 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1917 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1919 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1920 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1921 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1922 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1923 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1925 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1926 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1927 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1928 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1929 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1931 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1932 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1933 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1934 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1935 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1936 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1938 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1939 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1940 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1941 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1942 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1943 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1945 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1946 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1948 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1949 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1950 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1951 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1953 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1954 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1957 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1961 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1962 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1964 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1965 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1966 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1967 guts. (nothingmuch).
1969 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1970 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1971 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1973 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1974 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1975 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1976 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1978 * Moose::Meta::Class
1979 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1982 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1983 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1985 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1986 * Moose::Unsweetened
1987 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1990 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1991 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1992 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1993 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1994 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1995 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1997 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1998 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1999 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
2000 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
2001 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
2002 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
2003 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
2004 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
2005 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
2006 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
2008 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
2010 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
2011 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
2013 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2014 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
2015 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
2016 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
2018 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
2019 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
2020 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2021 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
2022 same methods for a single role did not work
2023 right (worked just fine with multiple
2025 - added test for this (stevan)
2027 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
2028 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
2029 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
2032 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
2033 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
2034 - added test for this (t0m)
2037 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
2038 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
2039 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
2041 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2042 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
2043 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
2044 - added test for this (t0m)
2046 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2047 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
2048 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
2049 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
2050 - added test for this (perigrin)
2053 - create method for constructing a role
2054 dynamically (Sartak)
2055 - added test for this (Sartak)
2056 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
2057 - added test for this (Sartak)
2060 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
2062 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
2063 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
2064 methods is useful (Sartak)
2066 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
2067 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2068 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
2071 * Moose::Meta::Class
2072 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
2073 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
2074 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
2075 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
2076 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
2077 - added tests for this (jdv79)
2080 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
2081 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
2083 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
2084 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
2085 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
2086 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
2087 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
2089 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
2091 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
2092 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2093 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
2096 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
2097 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
2098 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
2099 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
2100 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
2101 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
2104 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2105 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
2106 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
2107 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
2108 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
2109 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
2110 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
2111 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
2112 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
2113 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
2114 future. (jnapiorkowski)
2116 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2117 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
2120 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2121 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
2122 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
2123 type. (jnapiorkowski)
2124 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2126 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
2128 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
2129 predicate, and link to more details sections in
2130 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
2132 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2133 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
2135 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2136 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
2137 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
2138 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2141 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
2142 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
2144 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
2146 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
2147 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
2149 * Moose::Meta::Class
2150 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
2151 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
2152 a required attribute
2154 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
2155 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
2156 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
2157 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
2159 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2160 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
2162 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2163 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
2164 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
2165 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
2166 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
2167 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
2168 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
2169 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
2171 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
2172 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
2173 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
2175 * Roles and role application
2176 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
2177 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
2178 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
2179 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
2180 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
2182 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
2183 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
2186 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
2187 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
2188 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
2189 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
2190 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
2193 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
2194 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
2195 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
2196 changes in the Moose internals.
2198 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
2199 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2200 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
2203 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2204 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
2205 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
2206 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
2208 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2209 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
2210 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
2211 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
2213 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2214 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
2215 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
2216 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
2217 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
2218 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
2219 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
2220 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
2221 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
2222 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
2223 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
2224 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
2225 constraint implementations.
2227 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
2231 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
2232 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
2233 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
2234 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
2235 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
2236 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
2237 - added tests for this (rafl)
2239 * Moose::Meta::Class
2240 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
2241 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
2242 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
2243 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
2244 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
2245 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
2246 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
2247 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
2250 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
2251 - added tests for this (thepler)
2253 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2254 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
2255 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
2256 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
2259 * Moose::Meta::Class
2260 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2261 * Moose::Meta::Method
2264 * Moose::Error::Default
2265 * Moose::Error::Croak
2266 * Moose::Error::Confess
2267 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
2268 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
2269 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
2270 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
2271 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
2272 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
2274 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
2276 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
2277 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
2279 * Moose::Unsweetened
2280 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
2281 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
2282 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
2284 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2285 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
2286 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
2287 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
2288 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2291 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
2292 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
2294 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
2295 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
2296 several major changes in this release of Moose.
2297 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
2300 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
2302 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
2303 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
2305 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
2308 - Various bug fixes.
2310 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
2311 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
2313 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
2315 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
2316 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2317 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2318 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
2319 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
2320 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
2322 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2323 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
2324 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
2326 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
2327 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
2328 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
2331 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
2332 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
2333 dependency to 0.64_07.
2335 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
2336 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
2337 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
2339 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2340 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
2343 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2344 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
2345 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
2346 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
2347 coincidental exception. (t0m).
2348 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2350 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2351 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
2353 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2355 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
2356 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
2360 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
2361 method when that method was provided by another role being
2362 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
2363 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
2365 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
2367 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
2368 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
2370 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2371 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
2372 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
2373 - added test for this (t0m)
2375 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2376 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
2377 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
2379 - added test for this (t0m)
2382 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
2383 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
2384 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
2387 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
2388 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
2390 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
2392 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
2393 easier (Dave Rolsky)
2395 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2396 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
2397 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
2399 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2400 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
2403 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2404 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2405 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
2406 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
2410 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
2411 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
2412 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
2415 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
2416 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
2417 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
2418 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
2421 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
2425 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
2426 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
2427 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
2429 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
2430 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2431 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
2432 created so that the process can be more easily
2433 overridden by subclasses (stevan)

2436 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
2437 the type constraints (RT #37569)
2438 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
2440 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2441 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)

2445 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
2447 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
2448 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
2449 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
2451 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
2452 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
2453 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
2455 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
2456 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
2458 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2459 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
2462 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2463 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
2467 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
2468 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
2470 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2471 ... this is not my day today ...
2473 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2474 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2475 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2476 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2477 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2480 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2481 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2482 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2483 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2484 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2487 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2489 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2490 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
2491 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
2492 this is not ever something you want to do
2493 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
2494 - added tests for this (stevan)
2497 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
2499 - added test for this
2501 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2502 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
2503 - added tests for this (wreis)
2505 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
2506 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
2507 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
2508 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
2510 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
2511 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
2512 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
2515 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
2517 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
2519 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
2522 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2523 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2524 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2525 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2526 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2527 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2528 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2529 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2530 - added tests for this
2532 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2533 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
2534 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
2535 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
2537 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
2539 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2540 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
2541 - added tests for this (sartak)
2542 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
2543 install_delegation method (Stevan)

2553 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2554 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
2556 - Some null_constraint optimizations
2558 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008

2567 - fixed how the is => (ro|rw) works with
2568 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
2570 - added docs for this (TODO).
2571 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
2572 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
2573 Moose attributes which is "Moose"

2591 - fixed how DEMOLISHALL is called so that it
2592 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
2593 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
2595 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2596 - move the ClassName type check code to
2597 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
2599 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
2600 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
2602 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2603 (early morning release engineering)--
2605 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2606 which was causing the indexer to choke
2608 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2609 (late night release engineering)--
2611 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
2612 changes in this release
2614 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
2615 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
2616 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
2618 * Moose::Meta::Class
2619 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
2620 since it is called so often by &meta
2622 * Moose::Meta::Class
2624 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
2625 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
2628 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2629 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
2630 method for immutablization to check if the
2631 destructor object even needs to be created
2634 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2635 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2636 - added more descriptive error message to help
2637 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
2638 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
2640 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
2642 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
2643 XS based functionality is now optional
2644 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2645 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2646 can now be used to force non-XS versions
2648 - several of the packages have been tweaked
2649 to take care of this, mostly we added
2650 support for the package_name and name
2651 variables in all the Method metaclasses
2652 - before/around/after method modifiers now
2653 support regexp matching of names
2654 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2655 - tests added for this
2656 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
2657 is currently not supported in roles,
2658 but, ... patches welcome
2659 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2660 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2661 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2664 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2665 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2666 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2667 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
2668 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
2669 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
2670 - added test for this
2672 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2673 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
2674 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
2677 * Moose::Meta::Class
2678 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
2682 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
2684 - added tests for this
2685 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
2686 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2688 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2689 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
2690 themselves parameterizable types
2692 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2693 - fixed bug where trigger was not being
2694 called by the inlined immutable
2696 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
2698 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
2699 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
2700 (if possible) to create the anon-class
2701 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
2703 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
2704 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
2708 - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was
2709 causing occasional cpantester failures

2711 more descriptive (thanks to Sartak)
2713 0.44 Sat. May 10, 2008
2715 - made make_immutable warning cluck to
2716 show where the error is (thanks mst)
2719 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
2720 ->body when looping through the
2721 methods, to avoid the overloaded
2723 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
2724 eating the $@ values, and so not
2725 working correctly, it still kind of
2726 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
2727 - added tests for this
2729 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
2730 - added new recipe for immutable
2731 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2733 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe9
2734 - added new recipe for builder and
2735 lazy_build (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2737 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
2738 - added new recipe for method aliasing
2739 and exclusion with Roles (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2742 - fixed Win32 test failure (thanks spicyjack)
2744 ~ removed Build.PL and Module::Build compat
2745 since Module::Install has done that.
2747 0.43 Wed. April, 30, 2008
2749 drink more coffee before
2750 doing release engineering
2752 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
2753 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr
2754 modules. This fixes that.
2756 0.42 Mon. April 28, 2008
2757 - some bad tests slipped by, nothing else
2758 changed in this release (cpantesters++)
2760 - upped the Class::MOP dependency to 0.55
2761 since we have tests which need the C3
2764 0.41 Mon. April 28, 2008
2765 ~~ numerous documentation updates ~~
2767 - Changed all usage of die to Carp::croak for better
2768 error reporting (initial patch by Tod Hagan)
2770 ** IMPORTANT NOTE **
2771 - the make_immutable keyword is now deprecated, don't
2772 use it in any new code and please fix your old code
2773 as well. There will be 2 releases, and then it will
2779 - refactored the way inner and super work to avoid
2780 any method/@ISA cache penalty (nothingmuch)
2782 * Moose::Meta::Class
2783 - fixing &new_object to make sure trigger gets the
2784 coerced value (spotted by Charles Alderman on the
2786 - added test for this
2788 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor

2867 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2869 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

3160 - added tests for this
3163 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
3164 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

3206 - fixed how required methods are handled
3207 when they encounter overriden or modified
3208 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
3209 - added tests for this
3211 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
3212 - fixed the type notation parser so that
3213 the | always creates a union and so is
3214 no longer a valid type char (thanks to

3219 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
3222 * Parameterized Types
3223 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
3224 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
3225 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
3226 They can also be nested:
3227 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
3228 And work with the type unions as well:
3229 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
3231 * Better Framework Extendability
3232 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
3233 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
3234 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
3235 section of the Moose.pm docs.
3238 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
3239 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
3240 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
3241 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

3457 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
3458 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
3460 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3461 - 'type' now supports messages as well
3462 thanks to phaylon for finding this
3463 - added tests for this
3464 - added &list_all_type_constraints and
3465 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
3466 functions to facilitate introspection.
3468 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3469 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
3470 to build the list of delegated methods
3471 correctly (and not override important
3472 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
3474 - added tests and docs for this
3475 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3476 so that you can actually document your
3477 attributes and inspect them through the
3479 - added tests and docs for this
3481 * Moose::Meta::Class
3482 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3483 it will first look in for the class in the
3484 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3485 then default to just loading $name.
3486 - added tests and docs for this
3488 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3489 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3490 - added test for this
3493 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
3494 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
3495 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3496 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3498 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3499 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3502 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3504 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3505 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3506 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3509 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3510 !! for this developer release to work !!
3512 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3513 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3514 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3515 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3516 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3517 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3518 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3519 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3520 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3521 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3522 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3524 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3525 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3526 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3527 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3530 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3531 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3532 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3533 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3534 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3536 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3538 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3539 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3542 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3543 called unless they actually need to be.
3544 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3545 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3546 DEMOLISH method present.
3548 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3549 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3550 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3551 type constraint, which allows for a
3552 hand optimized version of the type
3553 constraint to be used when possible.
3554 - Any internally created type constraints
3555 now provide an optimized version as well.
3557 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3559 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3560 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3561 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3563 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3564 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3565 your class namespace of these exported
3568 * Moose::Meta::Class
3569 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3570 comes up during global destruction
3572 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3576 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3579 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3580 - changed how we do type checks so that
3581 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3584 - moved accessor generation methods to
3585 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3586 conform to the API changes from
3589 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3590 - changed how constraints are compiled
3591 so that we do less recursion and more
3592 iteration. This makes the type check
3594 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3597 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3598 - created this from methods formerly found in
3599 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3601 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3602 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3604 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3605 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3607 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3608 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3610 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3612 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3613 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3614 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3615 - added tests for this
3616 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3617 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3618 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3619 - removed tests for this
3621 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3623 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3624 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3625 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3628 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3629 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3630 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3632 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3633 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3634 comments for more info.
3637 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3638 asked questions and common problems
3640 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3641 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3642 - added tests for this
3644 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3645 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3646 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3647 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3649 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3650 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3653 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3654 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3655 is much appreciated :)
3656 - added tests for this
3658 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3659 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3660 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3663 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3664 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3666 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3668 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3669 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3673 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3674 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3675 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3677 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3679 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3682 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3683 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3684 keywords because we need to localize them.
3685 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3687 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3688 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3689 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3692 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3695 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3696 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3697 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3700 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3701 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3702 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3704 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3706 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3707 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3708 bottom of your class file.
3711 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3714 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3716 - improved error message when loading modules so
3717 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3718 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3719 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3722 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3723 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3724 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3726 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3727 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3729 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3730 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3731 turn them on for you.
3732 - added tests for this
3733 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3734 in Moose::Meta::Class

3761 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3762 - This release works in combination with
3763 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3764 release because it uses the a new
3765 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3766 complete Role implementation. It has
3767 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3768 the the previous CPAN version. This
3769 release also lacks good updated docs,
3770 the official release will have updated docs.
3773 - refactored the keyword exports
3774 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3775 accepts more than one Role at a time
3776 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3777 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3780 - refactored the keyword exports
3781 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3782 accepts more than one Role at a time
3784 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints

3786 string enumerations which can be used as
3788 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3791 - more careful checking of params to new()
3794 - much work done on the role composition
3795 - many new tests for conflict detection
3796 and composition edge cases
3797 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3798 looking at the tests
3800 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3801 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3802 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3804 * Moose::Meta::Class
3805 - some small changes to support the new
3807 - some small additions to support Roles
3809 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3810 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3812 - some small changes to support the new
3814 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3815 with the 'handles' option
3816 - added several tests for this
3817 - no docs for this yet
3819 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
3821 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3822 thanks to chansen for this commit
3823 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3824 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3825 on a per-attribute basis
3826 - added tests for this
3827 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3828 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3829 experimental feature and probably not finished

3831 more details, or ask about it on #moose
3832 - added tests for this

3894 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
3896 - added test for this
