1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
6 2.0100 Mon, Jun 06, 2011
10 * Using a hand-optimized type constraint is now deprecated. In keeping with
11 our release policy, this won't actually start warning until the 2.0200
16 * Type constraints can now provide inlined versions, which should make
17 inlined code which uses type constraints (such as accessors) faster.
22 * Remove a lot of cases where generated methods closed over meta objects.
23 Most simple cases should now only close over simple data types and
24 coderefs. This should make deparsing simpler.
26 * Type constraints can now inline their constraint checks. This replaces the
27 existing hand-optimized constraint feature.
31 * Make sure weak attributes remain weak when cloning. (doy, rafl)
33 2.0006 Mon, May 09, 2011
37 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
38 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
40 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
44 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
46 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
50 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
52 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
53 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
55 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
59 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
60 skips every other role. (rjbs)
62 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
63 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
64 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
65 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
66 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
68 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
72 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
73 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
74 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
77 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
82 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
84 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
85 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
87 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
91 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
92 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
93 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
97 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
98 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
100 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
101 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
103 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
104 environments. (doy, mateu)
106 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
110 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
111 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
112 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
113 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
117 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
118 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
120 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
124 * Update conflicts list.
127 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
131 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
132 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
133 details. (Dave Rolsky)
135 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
136 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
137 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
138 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
139 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
143 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
144 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
145 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
146 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
147 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
150 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
154 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
155 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
157 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
160 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
164 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
165 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
166 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
167 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
169 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
170 immutable classes). (mo)
172 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
173 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
174 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
176 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
180 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
182 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
184 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
188 * Fix some indexing issues.
190 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
192 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
196 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
197 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
198 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
199 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
200 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
202 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
203 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
208 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
209 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
210 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
211 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
213 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
214 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
215 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
219 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
220 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
223 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
227 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
228 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
232 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
236 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
237 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
238 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
239 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
242 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
246 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
249 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
253 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
254 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
255 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
258 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
262 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
263 policy. (Chris Prather)
265 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
266 on this new support policy. (doy)
270 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
271 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
272 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
274 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
275 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
277 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
281 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
282 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
283 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
284 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
287 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
291 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
292 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
295 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
299 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
300 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
302 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
303 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
307 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
308 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
309 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
310 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
311 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
312 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
314 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
315 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
317 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
318 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
319 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
320 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
322 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
323 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
325 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
330 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
331 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
333 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
337 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
338 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
339 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
341 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
345 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
346 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
347 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
349 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
350 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
353 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
354 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
357 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
358 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
359 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
361 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
362 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
367 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
368 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
369 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
370 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
372 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
373 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
375 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
376 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
378 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
379 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
380 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
381 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
383 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
384 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
385 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
388 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
389 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
390 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
391 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
393 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
394 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
397 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
398 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
399 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
401 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
405 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
406 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
407 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
409 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
410 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
411 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
414 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
415 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
416 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
418 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
419 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
420 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
422 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
423 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
427 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
428 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
429 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
431 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
432 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
433 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
434 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
436 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
440 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
441 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
442 value is a reference.
444 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
445 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
447 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
451 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
452 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
453 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
455 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
459 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
460 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
464 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
465 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
466 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
468 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
469 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
470 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
472 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
476 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
478 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
482 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
484 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
485 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
490 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
491 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
493 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
494 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
495 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
496 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
497 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
499 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
500 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
501 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
502 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
504 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
508 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
509 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
514 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
516 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
518 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
523 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
525 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
529 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
530 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
531 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
533 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
534 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
535 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
536 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
538 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
539 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
540 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
541 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
542 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
545 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
550 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
551 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
552 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
553 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
554 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
557 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
561 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
564 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
565 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
569 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
570 function (not just method). (doy)
574 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
575 and aren't easily installable/testable.
577 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
581 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
582 to be overridden more easily (doy).
584 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
588 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
589 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
591 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
595 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
596 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
597 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
599 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
603 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
604 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
605 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
607 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
608 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
612 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
613 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
615 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
616 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
620 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
621 is applied to a class (t0m).
623 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
624 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
626 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
629 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
630 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
632 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
633 be much more robust. (doy)
635 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
637 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
640 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
644 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
645 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
647 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
651 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
652 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
654 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
657 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
658 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
659 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
661 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
662 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
663 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
666 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
668 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
672 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
673 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
677 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
679 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
683 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
684 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
688 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
689 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
693 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
695 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
699 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
700 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
704 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
705 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
709 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
710 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
712 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
716 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
717 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
718 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
721 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
725 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
726 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
727 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
728 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
730 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
734 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
735 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
736 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
740 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
743 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
747 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
748 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
749 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
753 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
754 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
756 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
757 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
758 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
759 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
761 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
765 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
769 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
770 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
772 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
773 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
774 - Moose::Util::does_role
775 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
776 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
777 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
779 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
783 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
784 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
785 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
788 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
792 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
793 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
796 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
800 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
801 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
804 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
808 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
810 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
811 class. (Dave Rolsky).
813 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
814 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
815 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
817 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
818 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
819 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
822 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
823 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
825 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
826 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
827 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
829 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
831 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
832 substr et al, again. (sorear)
834 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
836 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
839 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
840 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
842 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
843 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
845 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
846 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
847 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
848 dependencies installed.
850 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
851 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
854 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
856 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
860 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
862 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
863 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
864 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
866 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
867 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
868 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
870 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
871 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
874 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
875 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
876 others. (nothingmuch)
878 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
879 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
880 remove_accessors. (doy)
882 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
883 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
884 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
886 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
887 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
889 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
890 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
891 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
892 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
895 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
896 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
898 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
899 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
901 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
903 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
904 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
907 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
908 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
909 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
910 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
911 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
913 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
914 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
915 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
916 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
917 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
918 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
919 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
922 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
923 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
924 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
925 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
926 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
928 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
929 which were not receiving the value of
930 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
931 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
932 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
933 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
937 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
938 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
939 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
940 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
941 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
944 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
945 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
946 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
947 - added tests for this (Stevan)
950 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
951 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
952 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
955 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
956 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
957 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
959 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
960 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
961 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
964 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
965 class if you pass it options for
966 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
967 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
968 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
969 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
970 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
971 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
972 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
973 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
974 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
976 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
977 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
978 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
979 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
980 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
983 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
984 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
985 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
986 existing delegation API. (hdp)
988 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
989 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
990 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
991 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
992 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
993 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
996 * Moose::Error::Croak
997 * Moose::Error::Confess
998 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
999 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
1002 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
1005 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
1006 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
1007 installing a broken sub. (doy)
1009 * Moose::Meta::Class
1010 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
1013 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
1014 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1015 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
1017 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1018 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1019 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
1020 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
1021 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
1023 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1024 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
1027 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
1029 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1030 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1033 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1034 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1036 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1037 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1038 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1039 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1041 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1042 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1043 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1044 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1045 using it for new code!
1047 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1048 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1049 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1050 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1052 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1053 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1054 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1055 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1056 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1057 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1058 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1059 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1062 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1065 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1066 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1069 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1070 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1072 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1073 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1074 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1076 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1077 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1078 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1079 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1081 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1082 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1083 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1085 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1086 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1087 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1090 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1091 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1092 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1093 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1094 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1095 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1097 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1099 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1102 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1103 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1104 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1106 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1107 associated_methods. (hdp)
1108 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1109 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1110 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1111 misspelled) arguments
1113 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1114 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1115 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1116 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1118 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1119 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1120 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1122 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1125 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1126 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1127 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1130 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1131 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1133 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1134 * Moose::Meta::Class
1135 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1136 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1138 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1139 * Moose::Manual::Types
1140 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1141 string parsing rathole (mst)
1143 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1144 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1145 using plain objects instead
1147 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1148 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1149 that's what we need.
1151 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1152 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1153 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1154 three times today (perigrin)
1155 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1156 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1158 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1159 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1160 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1161 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1164 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1165 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1166 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1167 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1168 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1169 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1172 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1173 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1174 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1175 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1178 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1180 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1183 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1185 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1188 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1189 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1190 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1194 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1195 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1198 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1199 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1201 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1202 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1203 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1205 * Moose::Unsweetened
1206 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1208 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1209 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1212 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1216 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1217 methods during global destruction (doy)
1219 * Moose::Meta::Class
1220 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1221 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1222 consumption (Sartak)
1224 * Moose::Meta::Class
1225 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1226 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1229 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1230 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1233 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1234 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1236 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1238 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1242 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1243 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1244 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1247 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1248 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1249 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1252 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1254 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1255 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1256 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1259 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1260 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1261 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1262 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1264 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1265 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1266 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1269 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1272 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1273 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1274 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1278 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1279 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1281 * Moose::Meta::Class
1282 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1284 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1286 * Moose::Meta::Class
1287 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1288 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1291 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1292 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1295 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1296 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1299 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1302 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1304 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1305 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1308 * Moose::Meta::Class
1309 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1311 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1312 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1315 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1316 * More deprecations and renamings
1317 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1318 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1319 when an object is constructed)
1322 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1323 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1324 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1326 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1327 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1328 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1329 feature, and it works again.
1332 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1334 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1336 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1337 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1338 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1340 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1341 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1342 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1343 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1344 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1346 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1347 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1348 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1349 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1350 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1353 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1354 metaclass object. (hdp)
1356 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1357 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1358 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1359 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1360 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1361 point out this fact. (hdp)
1363 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1364 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1366 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1367 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1369 * Moose::Meta::Class
1370 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1371 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1372 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1373 called during instance construction were passed the
1374 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1375 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1377 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1378 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1381 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1382 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1383 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1386 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1387 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1388 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1389 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1390 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1392 - Moose::Meta::Class
1393 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1395 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1396 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1397 when an object is constructed)
1398 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1400 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1401 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1402 when an object is constructed)
1403 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1404 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1405 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1408 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1410 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1411 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1413 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1415 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1416 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1417 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1419 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1420 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1421 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1423 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1425 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1426 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1428 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1429 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1432 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1433 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1436 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1437 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1438 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1440 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1441 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1445 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1446 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1447 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1449 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1450 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1453 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1454 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1455 with recommended workarounds.
1457 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1458 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1460 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1461 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1462 (yes, spelled like that).
1464 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1465 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1467 * Moose::Meta::Class
1468 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1469 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1471 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1473 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1474 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1475 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1476 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1477 instead. Reported by doy.
1479 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1481 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1482 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1484 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1485 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1486 message) is now deprecated.
1487 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1488 often got it wrong. For example:
1490 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1492 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1496 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1497 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1498 bite you in weird cases.
1500 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1501 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1502 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1503 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1505 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1506 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1510 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1513 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1514 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1517 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1518 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1520 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1521 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1524 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1525 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1526 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1527 - added tests for this (stevan)
1529 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1530 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1531 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1532 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1536 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1537 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1538 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1539 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1541 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1542 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1543 - added tests for this (rafl)
1545 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1546 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1547 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1548 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1552 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1553 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1556 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1557 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1558 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1560 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1562 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1563 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1565 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1566 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1567 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1568 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1569 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1571 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1572 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1573 error message did not specify the attribute name
1576 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1578 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1580 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1581 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1582 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1584 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1585 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1588 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1590 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1591 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1592 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1593 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1595 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1597 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1598 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1599 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1600 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1602 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1603 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1604 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1606 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1607 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1608 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1609 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1610 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1612 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1613 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1614 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1615 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1616 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1618 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1619 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1620 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1621 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1622 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1623 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1625 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1626 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1627 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1628 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1629 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1630 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1632 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1633 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1635 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1636 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1637 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1638 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1640 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1641 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1644 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1648 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1649 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1651 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1652 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1653 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1654 guts. (nothingmuch).
1656 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1657 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1658 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1660 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1661 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1662 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1663 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1665 * Moose::Meta::Class
1666 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1669 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1670 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1672 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1673 * Moose::Unsweetened
1674 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1677 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1678 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1679 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1680 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1681 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1682 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1684 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1685 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1686 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1687 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1688 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1689 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1690 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1691 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1692 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1693 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1695 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1697 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1698 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1700 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1701 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1702 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1703 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1705 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1706 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1707 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1708 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1709 same methods for a single role did not work
1710 right (worked just fine with multiple
1712 - added test for this (stevan)
1714 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1715 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1716 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1719 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1720 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1721 - added test for this (t0m)
1724 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1725 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1726 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1728 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1729 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1730 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1731 - added test for this (t0m)
1733 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1734 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1735 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1736 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1737 - added test for this (perigrin)
1740 - create method for constructing a role
1741 dynamically (Sartak)
1742 - added test for this (Sartak)
1743 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1744 - added test for this (Sartak)
1747 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1749 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1750 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1751 methods is useful (Sartak)
1753 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1754 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1755 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1758 * Moose::Meta::Class
1759 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1760 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1761 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1762 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1763 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1764 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1767 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1768 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1770 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1771 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1772 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1773 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1774 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1776 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1778 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1779 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1780 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1783 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1784 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1785 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1786 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1787 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1788 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1791 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1792 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1793 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1794 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1795 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1796 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1797 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1798 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1799 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1800 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1801 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1803 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1804 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1807 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1808 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1809 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1810 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1811 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1813 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1815 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1816 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1817 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1819 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1820 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1822 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1823 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1824 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1825 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1828 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1829 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1831 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1833 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1834 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1836 * Moose::Meta::Class
1837 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1838 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1839 a required attribute
1841 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1842 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1843 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1844 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1846 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1847 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1849 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1850 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1851 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1852 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1853 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1854 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1855 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1856 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1858 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1859 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1860 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1862 * Roles and role application
1863 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1864 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1865 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1866 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1867 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1869 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1870 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1873 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1874 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1875 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1876 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1877 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1880 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1881 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1882 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1883 changes in the Moose internals.
1885 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1886 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1887 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1890 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1891 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1892 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1893 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1895 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1896 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1897 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1898 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1900 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1901 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1902 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1903 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1904 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1905 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1906 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1907 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1908 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1909 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1910 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1911 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1912 constraint implementations.
1914 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1918 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1919 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1920 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1921 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1922 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1923 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1924 - added tests for this (rafl)
1926 * Moose::Meta::Class
1927 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1928 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1929 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1930 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1931 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1932 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1933 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1934 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1937 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1938 - added tests for this (thepler)
1940 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1941 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1942 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1943 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1946 * Moose::Meta::Class
1947 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1948 * Moose::Meta::Method
1951 * Moose::Error::Default
1952 * Moose::Error::Croak
1953 * Moose::Error::Confess
1954 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1955 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1956 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1957 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1958 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1959 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1961 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1963 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1964 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1966 * Moose::Unsweetened
1967 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1968 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1969 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1971 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1972 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1973 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1974 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1975 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1978 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1979 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1981 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1982 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1983 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1984 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1987 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1989 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1990 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1992 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1995 - Various bug fixes.
1997 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1998 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
2000 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
2002 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
2003 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2004 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2005 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
2006 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
2007 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
2009 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2010 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
2011 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
2013 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
2014 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
2015 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
2018 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
2019 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
2020 dependency to 0.64_07.
2022 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
2023 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
2024 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
2026 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2027 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
2030 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2031 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
2032 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
2033 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
2034 coincidental exception. (t0m).
2035 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2037 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2038 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
2040 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2042 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
2043 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
2047 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
2048 method when that method was provided by another role being
2049 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
2050 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
2052 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
2054 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!

2064 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
2066 - added test for this (t0m)

2158 ... this is not my day today ...
2160 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2161 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2162 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2163 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2164 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2167 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2168 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2169 actually releasing the module. No actual changes

2174 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2176 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2177 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)

2209 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2210 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2211 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2212 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2213 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2214 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2215 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2216 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2217 - added tests for this
2219 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2220 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to

2436 drink more coffee before
2437 doing release engineering
2439 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,

2752 - added this module to support the refactor
2753 in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized
2755 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized
2756 - refactored how these types are handled so they
2757 are more generic and not confined to ArrayRef
2761 - shortened some file names for better VMS support (RT #32381)
2763 0.33 Fri. Dec. 14, 2007
2764 !! Moose now loads 2 x faster !!
2765 !! with new Class::MOP 0.49 !!
2767 ++ new oose.pm module to make command line
2768 Moose-ness easier (see POD docs for more)

2780 HashRef for containers (sartak)
2781 - added tests for this
2783 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion

2785 so you can now add coercions to parameterized
2786 types without having to explictly define them
2787 - added tests for this
2789 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2790 - allow subclasses to decide whether we need
2791 to copy the value into a new variable (sartak)
2793 0.32 Tues. Dec. 4, 2007
2794 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2795 - fixing how subtype aliases of unions work
2796 they should inherit the parent's coercion
2797 - added tests for this
2798 - you can now define multiple coercions on
2799 a single type at different times instead of
2800 having to do it all in one place
2801 - added tests for this
2803 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2804 - there is now a default constraint of sub { 1 }
2805 instead of Moose::Util::TypeConstraints setting
2808 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2809 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2810 - added the &has_coercion_for_type and
2811 &add_type_coercions methods to support the
2812 new features above (although you cannot add
2813 more type coercions for Union types)
2815 0.31 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
2816 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2817 - made the +attr syntax handle extending types with
2818 parameters. So "has '+foo' => (isa => 'ArrayRef[Int]')"
2819 now works if the original foo is an ArrayRef.
2820 - added tests for this.
2821 - delegation now works even if the attribute does not
2822 have a reader method using the get_read_method_ref
2823 method from Class::MOP::Attribute.
2824 - added tests for this
2825 - added docs for this
2827 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2828 - passing no "additional attribute info" to
2829 &find_or_create_type_constraint will no longer
2830 attempt to create an __ANON__ type for you,
2831 instead it will just return undef.
2832 - added docs for this
2834 0.30 Fri. Nov. 23, 2007

2846 with work correctly.
2847 - added tests for this
2850 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2851 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code
2854 - New tests for builder bug. Upon instantiation, if an
2855 attribute had a builder, no value and was not lazy the
2856 builder default was not getting run, oops. (groditi)
2858 0.29 Tues. Nov. 13, 2007

2890 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
2893 - fixed how required methods are handled
2894 when they encounter overriden or modified
2895 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2896 - added tests for this
2898 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2899 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2900 the | always creates a union and so is
2901 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2902 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2904 - added more tests for this
2906 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2909 * Parameterized Types
2910 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2911 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2912 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2913 They can also be nested:
2914 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2915 And work with the type unions as well:
2916 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2918 * Better Framework Extendability
2919 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2920 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2921 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2922 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2925 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2926 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2927 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2928 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2931 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2933 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
2934 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)
2937 - added all the meta classes to the immutable list and
2938 set it to inline the accessors

2964 - fixed issue with generated accessor code making
2965 assumptions about hash based classes (thanks to dexter)
2967 * Moose::Coookbook::Snacks
2968 - these are bits of documentation, not quite as big as
2969 Recipes but which have no clear place in the module docs.
2970 So they are Snacks! (horray for castaway++)
2972 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe4
2973 - updated it to use the new ArrayRef[MyType] construct
2974 - updated the accompanying test as well
2976 +++ Major Refactor of the Type Constraint system +++
2977 +++ with new features added as well +++
2979 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2980 - no longer uses package variable to keep track of
2981 the type constraints, now uses the an instance of
2982 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry to do it
2983 - added more sophisticated type notation parsing
2985 - added tests for this
2987 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2988 - some minor adjustments to make subclassing easier
2989 - added the package_defined_in attribute so that we
2990 can track where the type constraints are created
2992 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2993 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
2994 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2996 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2997 - this has been added to service the newly refactored
2998 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union and is itself
2999 a subclass of Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion

3013 (thanks to shlomif).
3015 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3016 - required attributes now will no longer accept undef
3017 from the constructor, even if there is a default and lazy
3018 - added tests for this

3021 - added tests for this
3023 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3024 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
3025 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor

3066 (but not changing the handles option)
3067 - added tests and docs for this
3070 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
3071 so that required methods can come from superclasses
3072 - adjusted tests for this
3074 0.23 Mon. June 18, 2007
3075 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
3076 - fix inlined constructor for hierarchy with multiple BUILD methods (mst)

3082 the other side (perigrin)
3084 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
3085 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3086 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3087 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
3088 prototypes for functions
3089 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
3090 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

3100 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
3103 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
3104 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
3105 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
3106 - added tests for this
3108 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
3110 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

3128 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
3129 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
3131 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
3132 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
3134 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
3135 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
3136 so this release is just to fix that.
3139 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
3140 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
3141 (thanks to konobi for this)
3142 - added tests and docs
3144 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
3145 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
3147 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3148 - 'type' now supports messages as well
3149 thanks to phaylon for finding this
3150 - added tests for this

3152 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
3153 functions to facilitate introspection.
3155 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3156 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
3157 to build the list of delegated methods
3158 correctly (and not override important
3159 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
3161 - added tests and docs for this
3162 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3163 so that you can actually document your
3164 attributes and inspect them through the
3166 - added tests and docs for this
3168 * Moose::Meta::Class
3169 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3170 it will first look in for the class in the
3171 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3172 then default to just loading $name.
3173 - added tests and docs for this
3175 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3176 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3177 - added test for this
3180 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
3181 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
3182 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3183 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3185 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3186 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3189 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3191 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3192 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3193 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3196 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3197 !! for this developer release to work !!
3199 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3200 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3201 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3202 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3203 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3204 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3205 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3206 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3207 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3208 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3209 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3211 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3212 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3213 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3214 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3217 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3218 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3219 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3220 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3221 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3223 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3225 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3226 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3229 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3230 called unless they actually need to be.
3231 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3232 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3233 DEMOLISH method present.
3235 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3236 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3237 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3238 type constraint, which allows for a
3239 hand optimized version of the type
3240 constraint to be used when possible.
3241 - Any internally created type constraints
3242 now provide an optimized version as well.
3244 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3246 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3247 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3248 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3250 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3251 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3252 your class namespace of these exported
3255 * Moose::Meta::Class
3256 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3257 comes up during global destruction
3259 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3263 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3266 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3267 - changed how we do type checks so that
3268 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3271 - moved accessor generation methods to
3272 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3273 conform to the API changes from
3276 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3277 - changed how constraints are compiled
3278 so that we do less recursion and more
3279 iteration. This makes the type check
3281 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3284 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3285 - created this from methods formerly found in
3286 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3288 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3289 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3291 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3292 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3294 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3295 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3297 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3299 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3300 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3301 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3302 - added tests for this
3303 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3304 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3305 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3306 - removed tests for this
3308 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3310 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3311 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3312 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3315 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3316 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3317 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3319 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3320 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3321 comments for more info.
3324 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3325 asked questions and common problems
3327 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3328 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3329 - added tests for this
3331 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3332 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3333 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3334 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3336 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3337 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3340 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3341 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3342 is much appreciated :)
3343 - added tests for this
3345 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3346 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3347 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3350 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3351 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3353 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3355 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3356 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3360 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3361 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3362 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3364 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3366 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3369 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3370 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3371 keywords because we need to localize them.
3372 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3374 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3375 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3376 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3379 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3382 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3383 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3384 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3387 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3388 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3389 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3391 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3393 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3394 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3395 bottom of your class file.
3398 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3401 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3403 - improved error message when loading modules so
3404 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3405 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3406 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3409 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3410 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3411 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3413 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3414 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3416 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3417 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3418 turn them on for you.
3419 - added tests for this
3420 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3421 in Moose::Meta::Class

3448 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3449 - This release works in combination with
3450 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3451 release because it uses the a new
3452 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3453 complete Role implementation. It has
3454 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3455 the the previous CPAN version. This
3456 release also lacks good updated docs,
3457 the official release will have updated docs.
3460 - refactored the keyword exports
3461 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3462 accepts more than one Role at a time
3463 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3464 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3467 - refactored the keyword exports
3468 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3469 accepts more than one Role at a time
3471 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3472 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3473 string enumerations which can be used as
3475 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3478 - more careful checking of params to new()
3481 - much work done on the role composition
3482 - many new tests for conflict detection
3483 and composition edge cases
3484 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3485 looking at the tests
3487 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3488 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3489 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3491 * Moose::Meta::Class
3492 - some small changes to support the new
3494 - some small additions to support Roles
3496 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3497 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3499 - some small changes to support the new
3501 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3502 with the 'handles' option
3503 - added several tests for this
3504 - no docs for this yet
3506 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
3508 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3509 thanks to chansen for this commit
3510 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3511 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3512 on a per-attribute basis
3513 - added tests for this
3514 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3515 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3516 experimental feature and probably not finished
3517 see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
3518 more details, or ask about it on #moose
