Upstream changes:
2.1600 2015-07-31
[DOCUMENTATION]
- Made all docs use =head2 and =head3 for methods/functions so that they
appear as part of the table of contents on MetaCPAN.
2.1501 2015-07-20 (TRIAL RELEASE)
[DOCUMENTATION]
- Added a new slideshow by Shawn M. Moore (sartak) to
Moose::Manual::Resources
- Documentation for exception classes has been rewritten, with
Moose::Manual::Exceptions::Manifest changing how it describes each class's
attributes and methods. (Dave Rolsky, PR#95)
[REVERSIONS]
- The change in 2.1500 to allow DOES to check delegated options has been
reverted. This turned out to have a variety of issues both in concept and
implementation; it will be refined further in MooseX::Does::Delegated.
[CHANGED]
- The name for an anonymous sub that is used in method modifiers (that shows
up in stack traces etc) now identifies the package and method being
modified. (Philipp Gortan, PR#94)
2.1500 2015-07-01 (TRIAL RELEASE)
[ENHANCEMENTS]
- An object's DOES method now also checks roles composed by delegated
objects (Chris Prather, PR#104)
{perl>=5.16.6,p5-ExtUtils-ParseXS>=3.15}:../../devel/p5-ExtUtils-ParseXS
since pkgsrc enforces the newest perl version anyway, so they
should always pick perl, but sometimes (pkg_add) don't due to the
design of the {,} syntax.
No effective change for the above reason.

[BUG FIXES]
- Add Sub::Identify to prereqs. (RT #101661)
- bump List::Util prereq to avoid a memory leak (RT#101124)
[DOCUMENTATION]

Upstream changes:
2.1403 2014-12-07
[ENHANCEMENTS]
- Added a section to Moose::Manual::MethodModifiers illustrating how method
modifiers work with inheritance. (Andreas Koenig, RT #98940)
[DOCUMENTATION]
- Added docs to Moose.pm on the -meta_name import option. This addresses RT
#98488.
[BUG FIXES]
- Fix a test that fails on MSWin32 systems using nmake
- fix dev build compilation error when using MSVC (A. Sinan Unur)
[OTHER]
- the modules in the git repository now have a defined $VERSION, to make it
easier to test MooseX::* and other code under development.
Upstream changes:
2.1401 2014-11-03
[BUG FIXES]
- The core overloading support interacted badly with
MooseX::MarkAsMethods. If you used MooseX::MarkAsMethods in a role that
provided overloading, then that overloading would not be properly applied
to consuming classes, leading to very weird errors of the form:
Can't resolve method "???" overloading """" in package "Class2" ...
Note that the problems that MooseX::MarkAsMethods fixes are no longer
present if you are using Moose 2.1400+ and namespace::autoclean 0.16+. We
encourage you to upgrade both of these modules and remove
MooseX::MarkAsMethods from your code base.
Update DEPENDS
Upstream changes:
2.1400 2014-10-31
[BUG FIXES]
- Moose exception classes now stringify all stack frames, to avoid issues
in global destruction (see RT#99811)
2.1307 2014-10-26 (TRIAL RELEASE)
[ENHANCEMENTS]
- Support added to Moose::Exporter for exporting subs by their fully
qualified name, as well as coderefs. This avoids internal breakage if some
other module has monkey-patched a sub to be exported and left it anonymous
(e.g. RT#88669). (Graham Knop)
[BUG FIXES]
- Further refined the overloading fixes from 2.1306, fixing fallback
handling on older perl versions (Dave Rolsky)
2.1306 2014-10-25 (TRIAL RELEASE)
[ENHANCEMENTS]
- Rewrote overloading implementation to use a new Class::MOP::Overload
object. This object properly captures all overloading information. The
Class::MOP::Method::Overload class has been removed. (Dave Rolsky)
[BUG FIXES]
- If a role had method-based overloading but did not actually implement the
specified method, its overloading was simply ignored when applying
overloading to other roles or classes. Reported by rjbs. RT #98531.
2.1305 2014-10-22 (TRIAL RELEASE)
[ENHANCEMENTS]
- By default, exceptions thrown from inside Moose now remove most of the
Moose internals from their stack trace when stringifying. This makes for
much more readable error messages in most cases. Set the
MOOSE_FULL_EXCEPTION env var to true to get the complete stack trace.
2.1304 2014-09-25 (TRIAL RELEASE)
[BUG FIXES]
- closed a memory leak in Moose exception objects where captured stack
trace frames would contain circular references to the exception objects
themselves (Graham Knop)
2.1303 2014-09-19 (TRIAL RELEASE)
[TEST FIXES]
- fix tests that fail on altered warning messages in perl 5.21.4 (RT#98987)
2.1302 2014-08-19 (TRIAL RELEASE)
[BUG FIXES]
- When a role consumes another role and they differ in their overloading
fallback settings, the consuming role now silently wins instead of
throwing an exception. This is consistent with how other
role-consumes-role conflicts are handled.
- Fixed the docs for overloading conflicts to match reality.
2.1301 2014-08-19 (TRIAL RELEASE)
[BUG FIXES]
- Conflict detection for overloading operators is now more correct. If a
class consumed two roles that both had identical overloading methods
(because they got them from some other role, for example), this caused an
error, but it shouldn't. GH #4. (rjbs)
- Similarly, when a role consumes another role, conflicts in overloading
operators are now silently resolved in favor of the consuming role, just
as they are with methods. Note that conflicts between the fallback setting
for roles are still an error.
2.1300 2014-08-11 (TRIAL RELEASE)
[ENHANCEMENTS]
- Moose now has core support for overloading in roles. When a role with
overloading is applied to classes or other roles, the overloading settings
are transferred to the consumer. Conflicts between roles are treated much
like method conflicts. This obviates the need for
MooseX::Role::WithOverloading. If you are using
MooseX::Role::WithOverloading, upgrade to version 0.15+ and it will simply
become a no-op when used with this version of Moose.
[OTHER]
- The overloading info methods for roles and classes no longer treat
"fallback" as an overloaded op. Instead, there are new
get_overload_fallback_value() and set_overload_fallback_value() methods to
deal with this explicitly. This is arguably a bug fix.
Add missing BUILD_DEPENDS
Upstream changes:
2.1211 2014-08-11
[DOCUMENTATION]
- Updated Changes and Moose::Manual::Delta to note when we started removing
lazy_build from docs. Also added a note in the Moose::Meta::Attribute docs
stating that use of this feature is discouraged.
- Added a pointer from the auto_deref feature to
Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native. This is often a better choice.
[OTHER]
- The subs installed by Moose::Exporter->setup_import_methods are now named
using Sub::Name (Dave Rolsky, RT#97572)
Upstream changes:
2.1210 2014-07-03
[DOCUMENTATION]
- Clarify that Moose::Exception exists for internal usage and that user
code is better using the Throwable role or Throwable::Error superclass.
- Moose::Manual::Support policy clarified regarding legacy Perl versions
[OTHER]
- tests have been removed for an alpha branch of Test::Builder that will
never see the light of day (Exodist)
Upstream changes:
2.1209 2014-06-04
[OTHER]
- The is_anon method now always returns false when called on
Moose::Meta::Role::Composite objects. This isn't strictly right, but for
the purposes of Moose internals, where "is_anon" really means "needs to be
cleaned up", it's correct. This fixes warnings that were seen when using
recent Moose (2.1100+) and MooseX::Role::Parameterized roles as part of a
composite role. These warnings only appear with Perl 5.16 and earlier.
2.1208 2014-06-01
[BUG FIXES]
- fix implementation of throw_exception in internal Class::MOP traits,
caused by changes in 2.1207 (ether, RT#96112)
Do it for all packages that
* mention perl, or
* have a directory name starting with p5-*, or
* depend on a package starting with p5-
like last time, for 5.18, where this didn't lead to complaints.
Let me know if you have any this time.
Upstream changes:
2.1207 2014-05-26
[OTHER]
- Fixed Specio support to work with the latest Specio (0.10). This version of
Specio no longer uses Moose internally.
- exceptions in Class::MOP no longer use Moose::Util, instead using their
own private implementation of throw_exception, to avoid needless premature
loading of Moose logic.
Upstream changes:
2.1206 2014-05-14
[BUG FIXES]
- exceptions should not throw other exceptions; fixes cases where exceptions
were reporting the wrong error (Upasana, RT#92818 and RT#94795)
[OTHER]
- prereqs needed strictly for building with Dist::Zilla have been moved from
develop requires to develop recommends, to simplify automated testing on
older perls that cannot install all Dist::Zilla components
- removed instances of metaobjects in exception classes where they're not
really required
Upstream changes:
2.1205 2014-04-15
[ENHANCEMENTS]
- new utility interface: Moose::Util::is_role
[BUG FIXES]
- better error message provided when trying to load a trait class that does
not exist in @INC (Upasana, RT#94731)
[OTHER]
- new test added, to run last, which runs `moose-outdated` as a possibly
more visible mechanism to provide important information to the user
(re RT#92780)
Update DEPENDS
Upstream changes:
2.1204 2014-02-06
[BUG FIXES]
- bump minimum prereq needed for optional test using MooseX::NonMoose (which
broke with new Module::Runtime, see 2.1203), so users can install Moose
and pass tests before updating MooseX::NonMoose.
2.1203 2014-02-06
[BUG FIXES]
- bump prereq on Module::Runtime to properly detect when a module fails to
load, and fix how we call these subs (Zefram, RT#92770, RT#86394, RT#92791)

2.1101 2013-10-20 (TRIAL RELEASE)
[ENHANCEMENTS]
- Moose string exceptions have been replaced by Moose::Exception objects. See
Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
2.1100 2013-09-07 (TRIAL RELEASE)
[DEPRECATIONS]
- Class::MOP::load_class, Class::MOP::is_class_loaded, and
Class::MOP::load_first_existing_class are now deprecated. See
Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
- The non-arrayref forms of enum and duck_type have been deprecated. See
Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
- Many deprecated features have now been removed:
- optimize_as for type constraints
- the "default is" and "default default" features for native delegations
- setting coerce => 1 on an attribute whose type constraint has no coercion
- the public version of Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor::initialize_body
[ENHANCEMENTS]
- Creating classes with Moose now always sets the appropriate entry in %INC,
even if it wasn't loaded from a file. This should make writing classes
inline easier, and will allow us to be more intelligent about figuring out
when classes are loaded in the future. See Moose::Manual::Delta for more
details. Note that this is slightly backwards-incompatible in some edge
cases.
- Moose now uses Module::Runtime instead of Class::Load to load classes. This
means that there are no more issues with the weird heuristics that
Class::Load does to determine if a class was previously loaded (inheriting
from an empty package is now possible, for instance). See
Moose::Manual::Delta for more details. This is also slightly
backwards-incompatible in some edge cases.
Add two missing BUILD_DEPENDS
Upstream changes:
2.1005 Tue, Aug 06, 2013
[ENHANCEMENTS]
* add_method now accepts blessed subs (Graham Knop, PR#28)
[BUG FIXES}
* If a role consumed another role, we resolve method conflicts just like a
class consuming a role, but when metaclass compat tried to fix up
metaclass roles, we were putting all methods into one composite role and
allowing methods in the metaclass roles to conflict. Now we resolve them
as we should. (Jesse Luehrs, PR#27)
* Some edge cases in tests with base.pm and non-existent module files are
handled more strictly (see also perl RT#118561) (Graham Knop, PR#25)
Remove some unneeded comments.

[ENHANCEMENTS]
* The with_immutable() sub from Test::Moose now passes a boolean value to
the code block containing tests indicating whether or not the classes have
been made immutable. This can make for nicer test descriptions. (Dave
Rolsky)
* You can now use Specio types instead of Moose builtins or
MooseX::Types. As a bonus, Specio types inline coercion. However, this
support is still experimental (as is Specio), so use it with care. (Dave
Rolsky)
2.0900-TRIAL Sun, May 26, 2013

2.0800 Wed, Mar 27, 2013
[ENHANCEMENTS]
* The super() subroutine now carps if you pass it arguments. These arguments
are always ignored, but we used to ignore them silently. RT #77383.
* Roles can now override methods from other roles they consume directly,
without needing to manually exclude them (just like classes can). (mst)
[BUG FIXES]
* Fix false positive when checking for circular references for modules that

* Fix test failure in blead. RT #78085.
2.0602 Mon, May 07, 2012
[BUG FIXES]
* Ensure that the Moose::Exporter-generated init_meta returns the same value
that it did previously. This isn't really a bug, since the return value has
never been tested or documented, but since the generated init_meta is
nothing more than a compatibility shim at this point, there's no reason to
not make it as compatible as possible. Reported by Moritz Onken. (doy)
2.0601 Tue, May 01, 2012
[BUG FIXES]
* Fix init_meta order when multiple also packages are specified (this matters
when one of them is being used to actually initalize the metaclass,
typically with also => 'Moose'). Reported by Randy Stauner. (doy)

[NEW FEATURES]
* Class::MOP::Class now has methods for introspecting and modifying the
overloaded operators for a class. (doy)
[ENHANCEMENTS]
* The cookbook recipes have all been renamed. Instead of numbered recipes
(Basics::Recipe1), we now have descriptive names
(Basics::Point_AttributesAndSubclassing). This makes it easier for us to
add and remove recipes in the future, and makes it a little easier to
converse about them, since the name gives us some clue of what they
contain.
[BUG FIXES]
* Re-declaring a class_type or role_type constraint that has already been
declared now just returns the original type constraint, rather than
replacing the original constraint and ergo losing any coercions that were
on the original constraint. Fixes RT #73289. (t0m)
* Moose::Exporter now calls init_meta methods in the correct order, when
multiple levels of 'also' parameters are specified. Reported by Rocco
Caputo. (doy, perigrin)
* Moose::Exporter no longer generates init_meta methods in order to apply
metaroles, since the metaclass itself isn't guaranteed to exist yet at that
point. Metaroles are now applied at the end of import, after all
user-defined init_meta methods have been called. Fixes RT #51561. (doy)
* Fixed a memory leak. This occurred when creating an anonymous
class. Immutabilizing an anonymous class still leaks memory due to a bug in
Eval::Closure (which should hopefully be fixed soon). Based on code and bug
report from Carlos Lima. RT #74650.
* Fix a segfault when adding a method to a class which was defined in a

* The optimize_as option for type constraints has been deprecated. Use the
inline_as option to provide inlining code instead. (Dave Rolsky)
[API CHANGES]
* Methods to introspect a class's methods will now return methods defined in
UNIVERSAL (isa, can, etc.). This also means that you can wrap these
methods with method modifiers. RT #69839. Reported by Vyacheslav
Matyukhin. (Dave Rolsky)
* The ->parent and ->parents method for a union now return the nearest
common ancestor of that union's component types. See Moose::Manual::Delta
for more details. (Dave Rolsky)
* The ->parents method used to return an arrayref for union types, and a
list of one or more types for all other types. Now they all return
lists. (Dave Rolsky)
* The ->is_subtype_of and ->is_a_type_of methods have changed their behavior
for union types. Previously, they returned true if any of their member
types returned true for a given type. Now, all of the member types must
return true. RT #67731. (Dave Rolsky)
[ENHANCEMENTS]
* The Moose::Exporter module now has a "meta_lookup" option when creating an
importer. This allows you to specify an alternate method for determining
the metaclass of a caller. This is useful for modules like
MooseX::Role::Parameterized which generate new metaclasses on the
fly. (sartak)
* Added a Moose::Meta::Method->is_stub method. (Dave Rolsky)
[BUG FIXES]
* A subtype of a union type did not return the right results when you called
->is_subtype_of or ->is_a_type_of on it. This has been fixed. RT
#70322. (Dave Rolsky)
* An attribute accessor or delegation method can overwrite a stub method and
this will no longer throw an error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. RT
#69988. (Dave Rolsky)
* The error generated by unfulfilled method requirements during role
composition now mentions how to work around imported methods not being
recognized. Reported by Michael Schwern. RT #60583. (doy)
* class_type and role_type will now throw errors if you attempt to use them
to override existing types, just like type and subtype have always done.
(doy)
* Implicitly creating class or role types by using them as the 'isa' or
'does' parameter to attribute construction will now register the type. This
means that it cannot later be redefined as something else. (doy)
* $class_type->is_subtype_of no longer returns true if passed the name of the
class that the class type represents when the class type wasn't registered.
(doy)
* Removing anonymous metaclasses prematurely no longer prevents reaping of
the associated stash. (doy)
[OTHER]
* The Class::MOP::load_class and Class::MOP::is_class_loaded subroutines are
no longer documented, and will cause a deprecation warning in the
future. Moose now uses Class::Load to provide this functionality, and you
should as well. (Dave Rolsky)
2.0205 Tue, Sep 06, 2011
[NEW FEATURES]
* The Array and Hash native traits now provide a "shallow_clone" method,
which will return a reference to a new container with the same contents as
the attribute's reference.

* Specifying an invalid value in a hashref 'handles' value now throws a
sensible error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. RT #69990. (Dave
Rolsky)
[BUG FIXES]
* When specifying an attribute trait, passing options for the trait besides
-alias or -excludes caused a warning. However, passing other options is
totally valid when using MooseX::Role::Parameterized. Fixes RT
#70419. (sartak)
* Allow regexp objects in duck_type constraints (to bring this in line with
the Object constraint).
2.0204 Thu, Aug 25, 2011
[BUG FIXES]
* Validating duck_type type constraint turned out to work only by accident,

[BUG FIXES]
* Be more consistent about how type constraint messages are handled.
2.0201 Fri, Jul 22, 2011
[BUG FIXES]
* Moose::Util::does_role shouldn't call ->does on things that don't inherit
from Moose::Object.
* Make ->does initialize the metaclass, so that calling it as a class method
on a class which sets up inheritance via some method other than extends
works properly (this fixes an issue with MooseX::Types).
* Make Dist::CheckConflicts a runtime requirement, so moose-outdated always
works.

* Moose::Util::does_role now respects overridden ->does methods. (doy)
2.0104-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
[OTHER]
* Include changes from 2.0010.
2.0103-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
[DEPRECATIONS]
* Several things that have been deprecated for a while have been removed. See
the 2.0000 section in Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
[NEW FEATURES]
* New Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::union function for creating union type
constraints without having to rely on the string type constraint parsing.
This also allows for creating unions of anonymous type constraints.
(kentnl)
[OTHER]
* Include changes from Moose 2.0009.
2.0102-TRIAL Sat, Jun 18, 2011
[ENHANCEMENTS]
* The native Array trait now has a 'first_index' method, which works just
like the version in List::MoreUtils. (Karen Etheridge)
* Clean up some internal code to help out extensions.
[OTHER]
* Include changes from Moose 2.0008.
2.0101-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
[OTHER]
* Various packaging issues.
2.0100-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
[DEPRECATIONS]
* Using a hand-optimized type constraint is now deprecated. In keeping with
our release policy, this won't actually start warning until the 2.0200
release.
[NEW FEATURES]
* Type constraints can now provide inlined versions, which should make
inlined code which uses type constraints (such as accessors) faster. This
replaces the existing hand-optimized constraint feature. (Dave Rolsky)
[ENHANCEMENTS]
* Remove a lot of cases where generated methods closed over meta objects.
Most simple cases should now only close over simple data types and
coderefs. This should make deparsing simpler.
2.0010 Mon, Jun 20, 2011
[BUG FIXES]
* Fix regression in 2.0009 and 2.0103 when applying roles during init_meta in
an exporter that also re-exports Moose or Moose::Role. (t0m, ilmari)
2.0009 Sun, Jun 19, 2011
[BUG FIXES]
* duck_type type constraints now report reasonable errors when given
something which isn't an instance of an object. (t0m)
* Moose::Util::apply_all_roles now works even if the applicant is a non-Moose
class. (perigrin)
* When an object is reblessed, triggers are called on attributes that are
set during the reblessing. (Karen Etheridge).
[OTHER]
* Better error message if Moose->init_meta is called with a 'metaclass'
option when that metaclass hasn't been loaded. (jasonmay)
2.0008 Thu, Jun 16, 2011
[BUG FIXES]
* The 'accessor' native delegation for hashrefs now allows setting the value
to undef. (sugoik, doy)
[ENHANCEMENTS]
* Various generated methods have more useful context information. (doy)
2.0007 Sun, May 15, 2011
[BUG FIXES]
* Make sure weak attributes remain weak when cloning. (doy, rafl)
2.0006 Mon, May 09, 2011
[BUG FIXES]
* Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
[BUG FIXES]
* Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
[BUG FIXES]
* Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
* Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
[BUG FIXES]
* Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
skips every other role. (rjbs)
* Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
[ENHANCEMENTS]
* Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
definition context.
* Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
installed.
[BUG FIXES]
* Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
* The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
[ENHANCEMENTS]
* Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
[BUG FIXES]
* No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
* Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
documented to. (Chris Weyl)
* Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
environments. (doy, mateu)
2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
[API CHANGES]
* The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
[OTHER]
* Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
[OTHER]
* Update conflicts list.
* Minor pod updates.
1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
[NEW FEATURES]
* The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
details. (Dave Rolsky)
* Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
[BUG FIXES]
* When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
them. (Dave Rolsky)
1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
[BUG FIXES]
* Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
* The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
(Matthew Horsfall)
1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
[BUG FIXES]
* Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
* Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
immutable classes). (mo)
* When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
[OTHER]
* Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
* Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
[OTHER]
* Fix some indexing issues.
* Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
[OTHER]
* The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
* Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
Rolsky)
[API CHANGES]
* Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
application to a class, rather than just using the class's
attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
* The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
almost certainly need to be updated as well.
[ENHANCEMENTS]
* We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
[BUG FIXES]
* Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
1.9904)
1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
[BUG FIXES]
* Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
[PACKAGING FIX]
* The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
[BUG FIXES]
* When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
from 1.9903)
1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
[ENHANCEMENTS]
* The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
policy. (Chris Prather)
* The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
on this new support policy. (doy)
[BUG FIXES]
* The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
* The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
[BUG FIXES]
* When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
"get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
Rolsky)
1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
[BUG FIXES]
* There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
[ENHANCEMENTS]
* Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
* We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
[BUG FIXES]
* The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
* An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
* Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
#60596. (Dave Rolsky)
* Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
* Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
#62057. (perigrin)
[OTHER]
* The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
Test::Exception. (rjbs)
1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
[BUG FIXES]
* Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
[ENHANCEMENTS]
* Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
* Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
Rolsky)
* Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
Rolsky)
* Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
* The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
to. (mst).
[BUG FIXES]
* A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
#61962. (Dave Rolsky)
* 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
* Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
modifier sugar functions. (doy)
* Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
* We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
Rolsky)
* The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
* The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
Rolsky)
* Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
#59613. (Dave Rolsky)
1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
[API CHANGES]
* Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
"normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
* A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
the attribute.
* New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
* 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
* Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
class when you "use Moose". (doy)
[ENHANCEMENTS]
* Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
* Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
* The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
[BUG FIXES]
* If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
value is a reference.
* t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
Upstream changes:
1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
[BUG FIXES]
* Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
[API CHANGES]
* The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
-excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
[ENHANCEMENTS]
* When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
* When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)

[API CHANGES]
* An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
* The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
code. (Dave Rolsky)
[BUG FIXES]
* mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
* Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
#58411. (Dave Rolsky)
* Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).

[API CHANGES]
* You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
warning. (Dave Rolsky)
* Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
* Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
Rolsky)
* Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
Rolsky).
[NEW FEATURES]
* We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave

* Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually

* BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
Moose::Object::new. (doy)
[NEW FEATURES]
* strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or

* Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
[BUG FIXES]
* Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role

* New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
(rjbs).
* The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
