- Various native trait methods would refuse "0" where they expected a
string. They have been fixed to allow all defined, non-reference values,
and all objects with string, number, or boolean overloads.
[DOCUMENTATION]
- Moose::Manual::Construction now notes that roles can modify the BUILD sub.

use of a new Devel::OverloadInfo interface (thanks, ilmari!)
2.2009 2017-11-29
[BUG FIXES]
- Some hash native trait methods (notably clear and delete) were broken in
various ways when the associated attribute's type allowed for coercion of
the hash values and coercion was enabled for the hash. Reported by Ralf
Bartel in RT #123737.

2.2007 2017-11-12
[DOCUMENTATION]
- The Moose::Manual::Attributes pod has been amended to clarify that
'required' attributes can be satisfied with a 'default' or 'builder' sub,
and that 'ro' attributes can be set through the constructor.
- The Moose::Manual::Types pod has been amended to recommend
Params::ValidationCompiler and Moops instead of older modules (which are
slow and/or deprecated).
- other small documentation fixes (thanks to Chris Weyl and Anirvan
Chatterjee!)
[OTHER]

2.2006 2017-07-12
[BUG FIXES]
- Passing roles as a mix of role names and role objects to
Moose::Meta::class->create_anon_class could throw a bogus exception about
'Roles with parameters cannot be cached ...'. Fixed by Olivier
Mengué. Based on PR #117.
2.2005 2017-05-03
[OTHER]
- increased minimum required version of Test::More, to ensure a reliable
subtest.
2.2004 2017-01-31
[BUG FIXES]
- When an attribute was specified as 'rw' and you also provided an accessor
name matching the attribute and there was an explicit writer, Moose would
try to make an additional reader access with the same name as the
attribute. Then Moose would warn about overwriting an accessor with a
reader. This is related to the bugs reported in RT #120040.
2.2003 2017-01-30
[BUG FIXES]
- Moose could die when attempting to warn about overwriting an attribute's
access method in some cases (since version 2.1902) (RT #120040)
2.2002 2017-01-30
[BUG FIXES]
- Creating a Moose subclass of a Moo class with an attribute with a
delegation would cause a warning (since version 2.1902).
2.2001 2017-01-29
[TESTS]
- fixed variable interpolation in filename in test (RT#120033)
2.2000 2017-01-29
[OTHER]
- increased minimum required version of Sub::Name.
2.1905 2017-01-07 (TRIAL RELEASE)
[ENHANCEMENTS]
- Added support for __no_BUILD__ as a constructor argument to skip calling
any BUILD subs (used internally by modules like Moo that have their own
implementation of calling BUILD) (PR#142, Graham Knop)
2.1904 2016-12-22 (TRIAL RELEASE)
[BUG FIXES]
- Slight tweaks to the syntax used for hashes in a few tests, that were
broken by a recent Test::More release that started using a new namespace
that clashes with a (bareword) type name in these tests. (PR#141,
D.Maestro)
2.1903 2016-11-22 (TRIAL RELEASE)
[ENHANCEMENTS]
- When an attribute defines two methods (say a reader and writer) with the
same name, this now generates a warning.
- The warning when attribute methods overwrite one another is now much more
informative. It includes the type of accessors involved (reader, writer,
predicate, etc.) as well as the file and line where each accessor was
defined. Fixes RT #118325.
[BUG FIXES]
- Brought back the Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation->_get_delegate_accessor
method for the benefit of MooseX::CurriedDelegation.
- The definition context (package, file, & line) for attributes on
Class::MOP and Moose metaclasses was wrong in all cases.
2.1902 2016-10-23 (TRIAL RELEASE)
[ENHANCEMENTS]
- The stack trace for an inlined delegation now tells you where the
delegating attribute was declared (file and line number).
2.1901 2016-10-20 (TRIAL RELEASE)
[TESTS]
- warnings are only checked for in tests under AUTHOR_TESTING, so as to not
prevent installation when warnings occur in prerequisites.
2.1900 2016-10-09 (TRIAL RELEASE)
[ENHANCEMENTS]
- Most delegations are inlined now. This is not done for speed but rather to
improve stack traces when the delegated-to method throws an exception or
when the delegated-to method simply does not exist in the
delegatee. Previously, this stack trace and associated error were less
helpful than they could have been. Requested by Tim Bunce, Olaf Alders,
and Van de Bugger. (RT#46614, RT#98402, and RT#109631).
2.1807 2016-12-22
[BUG FIXES]
- The definition context (package, file, & line) for attributes on
Class::MOP and Moose metaclasses was wrong in all cases.
- Slight tweaks to the syntax used for hashes in a few tests, that were
broken by a recent Test::More release that started using a new namespace
that clashes with a (bareword) type name in these tests. (PR#141,
D.Maestro)
2.1806 2016-09-25
[BUG FIXES]
- A role generated on the fly (as opposed to one in a file on disk) could
not be used as a trait. Fixed by Aaron Cohen. (RT#92089, PR#47).
[ENHANCEMENTS]
- When a required attribute's init_arg differs from the attribute's name, we
now include both the attribute name and init_arg in the exception thrown
when that attribute is not provided. (RT#116814, Gordon Fisher)
- The unimport sub generated by Moose::Exporter can now be called with
parameters like { into => 'Package' } or { into_level => 1 }, just like
the import sub it generates. Requested by Dmytro Zagashev. (RT #93666).
- Moose::Meta::Attribute objects created from role attributes keep a
reference to the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute which created
them. Moose::Meta::Attribute now has ->role_attribute and
->has_role_attribute methods. RT #84563 and #117586. (Dave Rolsky)
[DOCUMENTATION]
- Updated Moose::Manual::Roles with more detail on role consumption and how
to deal with various corner cases involving required methods, multiple
roles, etc.
2.1805 2016-08-19
[BUG FIXES]
- remove inc/Config.pm that should not have appeared in the distribution (an
issue since 2.1800; RT#117071)
2.1804 2016-06-02
[OTHER]
- restrict Type::Tiny test to versions new enough to support native traits.
- restrict recipe test to perls where Regexp::Common is installable
2.1803 2016-05-31
[BUG FIXES]

2.1802.
2.1802 2016-05-25
[BUG FIXES]
- Fixed test failures if Specio 0.14+ was installed.
[OTHER]

- bundled an updated ExtUtils::HasCompiler, to support building with a
noexec $TMPDIR.
2.1800 2016-04-30
[OTHER]

for greater speed. (Olivier Mengué, PR#123)
2.1705 2016-04-21 (TRIAL RELEASE)
[OTHER]
- build-time compiler sanity checking is now done with ExtUtils::HasCompiler
instead of ExtUtils::CBuilder.
2.1704 2016-04-13 (TRIAL RELEASE)
[BUG FIXES]
- Fixed method cache regeneration when a class contains a blessed sub
(RT#113704, Graham Knop, PR#122)
[TESTS]
- restore test on perl 5.8.x when Class::C3::XS is not installed (RT#113704)
2.1703 2016-04-12 (TRIAL RELEASE)
[TESTS]
- skip dysfunctional test on perl 5.8.x when Class::C3::XS is not installed
(RT#113704)
2.1702 2016-04-08 (TRIAL RELEASE)
[DOCUMENTATION]
- Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array now documents the return
value for 'first_index' when there is no match (-1).
[OTHER]
- Moose::Exception's message attribute can now be any defined value, so as
to allow for objects with a stringification overload in place of a string.
2.1701 2016-04-07 (TRIAL RELEASE)
[OTHER]
- Fixed the last remaining use of List::MoreUtils (RT#113587)
2.1700 2016-04-06 (TRIAL RELEASE)
[OTHER]
- Moose::Exception now has a boolean overload. (Graham Knop, PR#119)
- All uses of List::MoreUtils have been removed, replaced by inlined forms
or equivalents in List::Util. (Graham Knop, PR#120)
2.1605 2016-02-16
[DOCUMENTATION]
- Fixed references to test files that were renamed when their associated
documentation files were renamed in 2.0500 (RT#111898)
- Moose::Manual::Roles now contains a section on handling required
attributes in role application (thanks, Kent Fredric!)
- a few other, very minor, documentation fixes
2.1604 2015-11-07
[OTHER]
- The minimum perl requirement is now set in configure-requires, as well as
runtime-requires, to ensure that smokers bail out early enough to declare
the installation as a N/A rather than a FAIL.
2.1603 2015-08-28
- No changes from 2.1602-TRIAL (other than a minor documentation tweak).
2.1602 2015-08-14 (TRIAL RELEASE)
[BUG FIXES]
- Replaced uses of overload::Overloaded with the new
Devel::OverloadInfo::is_overloaded (thanks, ilmari!) to work around more
issues with overload handling in older versions of perl.
2.1601 2015-08-10 (TRIAL RELEASE)
[BUG FIXES]
- Explicit boolean overload handling has been added to Class::MOP::Method
and Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required, to work around a bug with the
handling of overload fallbacks on perl 5.8.x. In particular this fixes
issues observed in MooseX::MethodAttributes.
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)
2.1405 2015-06-06
[BUG FIXES]
- The native 'Array' trait 'sort' accessor now returns the number of
elements in scalar context, instead of the undefined value (or a
different, seemingly-random, value under 5.23.x).
2.1404 2015-04-17
[BUG FIXES]
- Add Sub::Identify to prereqs. (RT #101661)
- bump List::Util prereq to avoid a memory leak (RT#101124)
[DOCUMENTATION]
- Added section to Moose::Manual::Resources to list external links related
to Moose (RT #101993, Michael LaGrasta)
2.1403 2014-12-07
[DOCUMENTATION]
- Added a section to Moose::Manual::MethodModifiers illustrating how method
modifiers work with inheritance. (Andreas Koenig, RT #98940)
- 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.
2.1402 2014-11-05
[BUG FIXES]
- Fix a test that was trying to load Test::Exception instead of Test::Fatal.
(Michael Schout)
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.
2.1400 2014-11-01
[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, PR#84)
[BUG FIXES]
- Further refined the overloading fixes from 2.1306, fixing fallback
handling on older perl versions (Dave Rolsky, PR#85)
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, PR#83)
[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 2014-10-23 (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, PR#81)
2.1303 2014-09-20 (TRIAL RELEASE)
[TEST FIXES]
- fix tests that fail on altered warning messages in perl 5.21.4 (RT#98987)
2.1302 2014-08-20 (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.
2.1213 2014-09-25
[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, PR#81)
2.1212 2014-09-19
[TEST FIXES]
- fix tests that fail on altered warning messages in perl 5.21.4 (RT#98987)
2.1211 2014-08-12
[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)
2.1210 2014-07-03
[DOCUMENTATION]
- Clarify that Moose::Exception exists for internal usage and that user
code is better off using the Throwable role or Throwable::Error superclass.
- Moose::Manual::Support policy clarified regarding legacy Perl versions
[OTHER]
- logic has been removed for an alpha branch of Test::Builder that will
never see the light of day, and will break with upcoming Test::Builder
changes (Exodist)
2.1209 2014-06-05
[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)
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.
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
2.1205 2014-04-16
[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)
2.1204 2014-02-07
[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 2014-02-07
[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)
[ENHANCEMENTS]
- line numbers in shipped code are now almost the same (within 3) as the
repository source, for easier debugging
2.1202 2014-01-20

- string comparisons are now possible with Moose exceptions (RT#92232)
2.1201 2014-01-11

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.
2.1005 2013-08-07
[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)
2.1004 2013-07-26

[OTHER]
- Releasing 2.0901 as stable.
2.0901 2013-06-21 (TRIAL RELEASE)
[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. However, this support is still experimental (as is Specio),
so use it with care. (Dave Rolsky)
2.0900 2013-05-27 (TRIAL RELEASE)
[API CHANGES]
- Fixed the Num builtin type to reject NaN, Inf, numbers with whitespace,

2.0801 2013-03-28
[BUG FIXES]
- properly apply traits at compile time (error introduced in 2.0800,
RT#77974). (doy)
2.0800 2013-03-28
[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
use the "also" parameter with Moose::Exporter. Reported by Jon
Swartz. Fixed by Matthew Wickline. RT #63818.

2.0602 2012-05-07
[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)
[DOCUMENTATION]
- The lazy_build attribute feature was removed from
Moose::Manual::BestPractices.
2.0601 2012-05-01
[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)

- Releasing 2.0502 as stable.
2.0502 2012-04-25 (TRIAL RELEASE)
[OTHER]
- The Test::DependentModules test now covers a much wider range of downstream
dependents (all of them in fact, for some definition of "all"). This should
allow us to track inadvertent backwards compatibility breakages much more
effectively. (doy)
- A few test tweaks to avoid spurious failures. (doy)
2.0501 2012-04-03 (TRIAL RELEASE)
[BUG FIXES]
- Avoid syntax errors on pre-5.14. (doy)
2.0500 2012-04-03 (TRIAL RELEASE)
[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
package which was deleted. (doy)

- Fix compilation on 5.8. Reported by ether. (doy)
- A custom error class caused a warning when the class that used it was made
immutable. Reported by Maroš Kollár. RT #71514. (Dave Rolsky)
[ENHANCEMENTS]
- The enum type will now allow single value enumerations. Previously, two or
more values were required. (rjbs)
2.0300 2011-09-23 (TRIAL RELEASE)
[DEPRECATIONS]
- 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 2011-09-06
[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.
[ENHANCEMENTS]
- 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 2011-08-25
[BUG FIXES]
- Validating duck_type type constraint turned out to work only by accident,
and only when not running under the debugger. This has been fixed.
(Florian Ragwitz)

- Loosen the dependency on ExtUtils::ParseXS.
2.0203 2011-08-23

- is_class_loaded now properly detects packages which have a version object
in their $VERSION.
- Fix XS compilation under blead.
2.0202 2011-07-26
[BUG FIXES]
- Be more consistent about how type constraint messages are handled.
2.0201 2011-07-22
[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.

[OTHER]
- Various packaging issues.
2.0100 2011-06-06 (TRIAL RELEASE)
[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 2011-06-20
[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 2011-06-19
[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)

- Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
2.0004 2011-05-09
[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 2011-05-09
[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 2011-04-28
[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 2011-04-22
[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 2011-04-11
[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)
[DOCUMENTATION]
- The lazy_build attribute feature was mostly removed from the docs and is
no longer encouraged.

[OTHER]
- Update conflicts list.
- Minor pod updates.
1.9905 2011-03-28 (TRIAL RELEASE)
[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 2011-03-04 (TRIAL RELEASE)
[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 2011-02-28 (TRIAL RELEASE)
[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 2011-01-03 (TRIAL RELEASE)

- Fix some indexing issues.
- Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
1.9900 2011-01-01 (TRIAL RELEASE)
[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 2011-04-01

- 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 2010-11-19
[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 2010-11-02
[BUG FIXES]
- There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
1.18 2010-10-31
[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)

- The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
Test::Exception. (rjbs)
1.17 2010-10-19
[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 2010-10-18
[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 2010-10-05
[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.
1.14 2010-09-21
[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 2010-09-13
[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)
1.12 2010-08-28
[BUG FIXES]
- Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
1.11 2010-08-27
[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).
1.10 2010-08-22
[API CHANGES]
- The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
Rolsky)
[BUG FIXES]
- Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
- default => undef now works properly. (doy)
- Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
(Sartak)
[ENHANCEMENTS]
- Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
1.09 2010-07-25
[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
Rolsky)
- New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
[BUG FIXES]
- Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
inlinable. (doy)
- Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
[ENHANCEMENTS]
- Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
function (not just method). (doy)
[OTHER]
- Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
and aren't easily installable/testable.
1.08 2010-06-15
[ENHANCEMENTS]
- Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
to be overridden more easily (doy).
1.07 2010-06-05
[BUG FIXES]
- Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
1.06 2010-06-01
[NEW FEATURES]
- Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
1.05 2010-05-20
[API CHANGES]
- Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
(through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
- 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
Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
- 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
is applied to a class (t0m).
- Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
- 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).
- Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
be much more robust. (doy)
1.04 2010-05-20
- This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
upload.
1.03 2010-05-06
[NEW FEATURES]
- Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
roles (Florian Ragwitz).
1.02 2010-05-01
[BUG FIXES]
- Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
- Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
(Florian Ragwitz)
- Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
- Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
Arnfjörð Bjarmason)
- Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
1.01 2010-03-26
[NEW FEATURES]
- The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
[OTHER]
- Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
1.00 2010-03-25
[BUG FIXES]
- Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
[DOCUMENTATION]
- Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
(Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
[OTHER]
- Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 2009-06-06 (Sartak)
0.99 2010-03-08
[NEW FEATURES]
- New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
[BUG FIXES]
- DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
[NEW DOCUMENTATION]
- Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
0.98 2010-02-10
[BUG FIXES]
- An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
0.97 2010-02-09
[BUG FIXES]
- Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
0.96 2010-02-06
[NEW FEATURES]
- ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
(Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
[BUG FIXES]
- ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
(Michael G. Schwern)
0.95 2010-02-04
[NEW FEATURES]
- Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
[ENHANCEMENTS]
- Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
- Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
0.94 2010-01-18
[API CHANGES]
- Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
[ENHANCEMENTS]
- Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
- Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
- Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
- Moose::Util::does_role
- Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
- Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
- Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
[BUG FIXES]
- Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
0.93_03 2010-01-05
[BUG FIXES]
- Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
0.93_02 2010-01-05
[BUG FIXES]
- Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
testers. (Dave Rolsky)
0.93_01 2010-01-04
[API CHANGES]
See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
- Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
class. (Dave Rolsky).
- There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
- The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
too. (Dave Rolsky)
- Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
- The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
[ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
- Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
substr et al, again. (sorear)
- Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
- The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
jrey.
- Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
- Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
- We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
dependencies installed.
- Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
#51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
0.93 2009-11-19
- Moose::Object
- Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
warns. (doy)
- Moose::Meta::Role
- The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
- Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
- Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
- Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
- Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
future. (doy)
- Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
- Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
- Moose::Exporter
- Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
others. (nothingmuch)
- Moose::Meta::Attribute
- Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
remove_accessors. (doy)
- Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
- Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
- Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
- Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
0.92 2009-09-22
- Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
- added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
- added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
- Moose::Meta::Class
- Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
- Moose::Meta::Attribute
- Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
0.91 2009-09-17
- Moose::Object
- Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
(nothingmuch)
- Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
- The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
0.90 2009-09-15
- Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
- Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
- For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
- Moose::Object
- DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
- We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
Dave Rolsky)
- The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
which were not receiving the value of
Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
- These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
- This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
- Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
issued. (perigrin)
- Moose::Meta::Role
- Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
- The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
Rolsky)
- Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
- fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
- added tests for this (Stevan)
- Moose::Meta::Class
- Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
quite problematic.
0.89_02 2009-09-10
- Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
- Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
- Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
- Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
- Moose::Exporter
- This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
class if you pass it options for
Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
- Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
- The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
- If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
- Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
- When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
Rolsky)
0.89_01 2009-09-02
- Moose::Meta::Attribute
- Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
existing delegation API. (hdp)
- Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
- We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
(perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
perigrin, doy)
- Moose::Error::Croak
- Moose::Error::Confess
- Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
modules. (Curtis Jewell)
- Moose
- Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
- Moose::Exporter
- When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
installing a broken sub. (doy)
- Moose::Meta::Class
- Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
ancestors. (doy)
0.89 2009-08-13
- Moose::Manual::Attributes
- Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
- Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
- Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
- For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
- Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
- Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
- Moose::Exporter
- Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
does. (doy)
- Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
- Moose::Util
- Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
- Moose::Meta::Attribute
- Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
- A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
- Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
- Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
- However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
using it for new code!
- Moose::Meta::Role::Application
- Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
- Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
0.88 2009-07-24
- Moose::Manual::Contributing
- Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
core committer before being applied to master. All releases
are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
- Moose::Meta::Role
- Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
classes. (rafl)
- Moose::Util::MetaRole
- Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
classes. (rafl)
- Moose::Meta::Attribute
- Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
- Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
- No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
0.87 2009-07-07
- Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
- Once again allow class names as well as objects for
delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
0.86 2009-07-03
- Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
- Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
- Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
- Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
attribute's accessor returns something defined but
unblessed. (hdp)
0.85 2009-06-26
- Moose::Meta::Attribute
- The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
0.84 2009-06-26
- Moose::Role
- has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
roles. (doy)
- Moose::Meta::Attribute
- When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
warning. (hdp)
- Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
associated_methods. (hdp)
- Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
- Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
misspelled) arguments
- Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
- Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
- Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
- Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
- Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
(Sartak)
- Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
(perigrin)
- Moose::Meta::Attribute
- Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
- Moose::Meta::Role
- The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
0.83 2009-06-23
- Moose::Meta::Class
- Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
0.82 2009-06-21
- Moose::Manual::Types
- Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
string parsing rathole (mst)
- Moose::Manual::MooseX
- Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
using plain objects instead
0.81 2009-06-07
- Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
that's what we need.
0.80 2009-06-06
- Moose::Manual::FAQ
- Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
three times today (perigrin)
- Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
would document this fast enough (perigrin)
- Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
- Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
to prevent unnecessary introspection in
Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
- Moose::*
- A role's required methods are now represented by
Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
- Moose::Role
- Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
- Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
- Tests
- Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
(nothingmuch)
- Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
(groditi)
0.79 2009-05-13
- Tests
- More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
- Moose::Object
- The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
during global destruction. This method has been made more
resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
collection order.
- Moose::Exporter
- If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
now acknowledges that (Sartak)
- Moose
- When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)

0.77 2009-05-02
- Moose::Meta::Role
- Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
(perigrin)
- Moose::Object
- Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)

(perigrin)
- Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
- Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
- Makefile.PL
- Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
0.76 2009-04-27
- Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
- Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
constraint (hdp)
- Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
- In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
- Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
- Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
of the Moose core (Sartak)
- Tests
- Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
(Sartak)
0.75_01 2009-04-23
- Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
- Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
consumes (Sartak)
- Tests
- Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
- Moose::Meta::Class
- Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
0.75 2009-04-20
- Moose
- Moose::Meta::Class
- Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
- Moose::Util
- add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
- Moose::Exporter
- Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
- Moose::Meta::Role
- Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
application. (jdv)
0.74 2009-04-07
- Moose::Meta::Role
- Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
- Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
(Florian Ragwitz)
- Moose::Meta::Class
- Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
- Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
- Removed the long-deprecated union method.
0.73_02 2009-04-06
- More deprecations and renamings
- Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
- initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
when an object is constructed)
- Moose::Object
- The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
- Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
- Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
feature, and it works again.
- Moose::Util
- Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
0.73_01 2009-04-05
- Moose::*
- Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
- Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
- If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
message. Test provided by perigrin.
- Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
- Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
- add tests and documentation (perigrin)
- Moose
- Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
metaclass object. (hdp)
- Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
- Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
- Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
- Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
- Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
point out this fact. (hdp)
- Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
- A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
- Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
- A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
- Moose::Meta::Class
- Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
- Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
called during instance construction were passed the
meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
- Moose::Manual::Attributes
- Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
argument. (hdp)
- Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
- Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
instead. (hdp)
- Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
them, but they are not for "public" use.
- Moose::Meta::Class
- check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
- Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
- initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
when an object is constructed)
- /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
- Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
- initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
when an object is constructed)
- /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1

0.73 2009-03-27
- No changes from 0.72_01.
0.72_01 2009-03-26
- Everything
- Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
- Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
- Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
- Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
- A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
- Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
- Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
Greab.
- Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
- Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
- Moose::Exporter
- When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
- Moose::Meta::Attribute
- Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
attribute. (hdp)
- Makefile.PL
- Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
better off with it listed. (Sartak)
- Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
- Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
Berlin)
- Moose::Manual::Delta
- Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
with recommended workarounds.
- Moose::Manual::Contributing
- Contributor's guide to Moose.
- Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
- The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
(yes, spelled like that).
- Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
- This is_needed method is now always a class method.
- Moose::Meta::Class
- Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
changes in latest Class::MOP.
0.72 2009-02-23
- Moose::Object
- Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
- A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
instead. Reported by doy.
0.71_01 2009-02-22
- Moose::Cookbook
- Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
- Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
- Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
message) is now deprecated.
- The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
often got it wrong. For example:
my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
expect.
- Everywhere
- Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
bite you in weird cases.
0.71 2009-02-19
- Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
- A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
- Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
- A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
Rolsky)
- Moose::Exporter
- Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
- Tests
- Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
- Moose::Cookbook
- Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
- Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
- Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
Rolsky)
0.70 2009-02-14
- Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
- Added the RoleName type (stevan)
- added tests for this (stevan)
- Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
- Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
- added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
(stevan)
- Moose::Object
- We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
- added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
- Moose::Util::MetaRole
- Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
- added tests for this (rafl)
- Moose::Meta::Attribute
- We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
still out of date.
- Tests
- Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
- Documentation
- Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
0.69 2009-02-12
- Moose
- Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
- Moose::Cookbook::*
- Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
- Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
- If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
error message did not specify the attribute name
properly. (doy)
0.68 2009-02-04
- POD
- Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
- Moose::Manual::Attributes
- The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
- Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
- Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
noticing this.
0.67 2009-02-03
- Moose::Manual::*
- Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
of fixes and formatting improvements.
0.66 2009-02-03
- Moose::Manual
- This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
- Moose::Meta::Attribute
- Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
- Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
- If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
- Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
- This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
- Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
- You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
0.65 2009-01-22
- Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
- If an overridden method called super(), and then the
superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
- Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
- All methods are now documented. (gphat)
- t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
- Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
- Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
- Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
- Moose
- Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
section. (pjf)
- Moose::Role
- Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
- Moose::Meta::Method::*
- Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
guts. (nothingmuch).
0.64 2008-12-31
- Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
- Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
- Moose::Meta::Attribute
- Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
- verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
- Moose::Meta::Class
- Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
- Moose
- Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
0.63 2008-12-08
- Moose::Unsweetened
- Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
code. (Dave Rolsky)
0.62_02 2008-12-05
- Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
- When a class does not provide all of a role's required
methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
- Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
- Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
- The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
0.62_01 2008-12-03
- Moose::Object
- use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
- Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
- We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
0.62 2008-11-26
- Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
- fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
same methods for a single role did not work
right (worked just fine with multiple
roles) (stevan)
- added test for this (stevan)
- Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
- fixed the error message when trying to compose
a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
- Moose::Exporter
- Catch another case where recursion caused the value
of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
- added test for this (t0m)
- Moose
- Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
- Moose::Meta::Attribute
- Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
(handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
- added test for this (t0m)
- Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
- An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
- added test for this (perigrin)
- Moose::Meta::Role
- create method for constructing a role
dynamically (Sartak)
- added test for this (Sartak)
- anonymous roles! (Sartak)
- added test for this (Sartak)
- Moose::Role
- more consistent error messages (Sartak)
- Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
- attempt to explain why a role that just requires
methods is useful (Sartak)
0.61 2008-11-07
- Moose::Meta::Attribute
- When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
(perigrin)
- Moose::Meta::Class
- Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
- added tests for this (jdv79)
- Various
- Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
- Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
- Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
- These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
0.60 2008-10-24
- Moose::Exporter
- Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
- Tests for this bug. (t0m)
- Moose::Util
- Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
- Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
(t0m)
- Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
- Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
- Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
future. (jnapiorkowski)
- Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
- Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
(jnapiorkowski)
- Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
- New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
type. (jnapiorkowski)
- added tests (jnapiorkowski)
0.59 2008-10-14
- Moose
- Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
predicate, and link to more details sections in
Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
- Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
- removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
- Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
- Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
- Tests
- Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
Rolsky)
- Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
lazy_build. (t0m)
- Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of for all
kinds of supported type. (t0m)
- Moose::Meta::Class
- In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
- added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
a required attribute
- Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
- Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
- Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of with
other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
- Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
- Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
- Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
- Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
can no longer parse structured type constraints like
ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
0.58 2008-09-20
!! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
!! how roles add methods to a class !!
- Roles and role application
! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
This means that methods added by a role now show up when
looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
- Makefile.PL
- From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
- MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
- MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
- Fey::ORM <= 0.10
In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
changes in the Moose internals.
- Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
- Moose::Meta::Attribute
- Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
Rolsky)
- Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
- Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
- Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
- Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
- Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
- Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
- Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
- When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
- Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
- Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
constraint implementations.
- Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
- Moose::Exporter
- Moose
- Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
- added tests for this (rafl)
- Moose::Meta::Class
- Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
- Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
- Moose::Meta::Role
- throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
- added tests for this (thepler)
- Moose::Util::MetaRole
- If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
default.
- Moose::Meta::Class
- Moose::Meta::Attribute
- Moose::Meta::Method
- Moose
- Moose::Object
- Moose::Error::Default
- Moose::Error::Croak
- Moose::Error::Confess
- All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
0.57 2008-09-03
- Moose::Intro
- A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
"standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
- Moose::Unsweetened
- Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
- Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
- Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
- added tests (jnapiorkowski)
- Moose::Exporter
- If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
0.56 2008-09-01
For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
several major changes in this release of Moose.
! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
docs for details.
- Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
- New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
- Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
cookbook sections.
- Various bug fixes.
- Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
- Require Class::MOP 0.65.
0.55_04 2008-08-30
- Moose::Util::MetaRole
- Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
- This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
- Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
- This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
extensions (Dave Rolsky)
- Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3

- Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
- added test for this (t0m)

- This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
- Moose
- Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
- Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
easier (Dave Rolsky)

can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
Rolsky and nothingmuch)
- get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
- Moose::Meta::Role
- Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
(nothingmuch)

clone_and_inherit options still works for
Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
(stevan)
0.53 2008-07-03
- Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
actually releasing the module. No actual changes
in this release, except the fact that it includes
the changes that I didn't include in the last
release. (stevan--)
0.52 2008-07-03
- Moose
- added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)

0.51 2008-06-26
- Moose::Role
- add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
something (sartak)
- Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
- when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
added to the list of required methods for consumers of
RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
- added tests for this
- Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
- when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by

- now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
faster
- Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
- is_needed can now also be called as a class
method for immutablization to check if the
destructor object even needs to be created
at all
- Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor

They can also be nested:
ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
And work with the type unions as well:
ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
- Better Framework Extendability
Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
section of the Moose.pm docs.
- Moose Snacks!
In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

0.18_001 2006-11-26
!! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
!! for this developer release to work !!
This release was primarily adding the immutable
feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
you promise not to alter. When you set the class
as immutable it will perform various bits of
memoization and inline certain part of the code
(constructors, destructors and accessors). This
minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
It has several configurable bits as well, so you
can pick and choose to your specific needs.
The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
truely interested in what was changed, please do
a diff :)
0.17 2006-11-14
- Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
- bugfix for read-only accessors which
are have a type constraint and lazy.
Thanks to chansen for finding it.
0.16 2006-11-14
++ NOTE ++
There are some speed improvements in this release,
but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
- Moose::Object
- BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
called unless they actually need to be.
This gave us a signifigant speed boost
for the cases when there is no BUILD or
DEMOLISH method present.
- Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
- Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
- added an 'optimize_as' option to the
type constraint, which allows for a
hand optimized version of the type
constraint to be used when possible.
- Any internally created type constraints
now provide an optimized version as well.
0.15 2006-11-05
++ NOTE ++
This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
been made in order to be compatible with that release.
- Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
- added &unimport so that you can clean out
your class namespace of these exported
keywords
- Moose::Meta::Class
- fixed minor issue which occasionally
comes up during global destruction
(thanks omega)
- moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
its own file.
- Moose::Meta::Role
- moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
its own file.
- Moose::Meta::Attribute
- changed how we do type checks so that
we reduce the overall cost, but still
retain correctness.
*** API CHANGE ***
- moved accessor generation methods to
Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
conform to the API changes from
Class::MOP 0.36
- Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
- changed how constraints are compiled
so that we do less recursion and more
iteration. This makes the type check
faster :)
- moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
into its own file
- Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
- created this from methods formerly found in
Moose::Meta::Attribute
- Moose::Meta::Role::Method
- moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
- Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
- moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
- Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
- moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
0.14 2006-10-09
- Moose::Meta::Attribute
- fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
- added tests for this
- removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
broke predicates in an ugly way.
- removed tests for this
0.13 2006-09-30
++ NOTE ++
This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
been made in order to be compatible with that release.
- Moose
- Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
(thanks Adam Kennedy)
**~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
- commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
comments for more info.
- Moose::Cookbook
- added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
asked questions and common problems
- Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
- added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
- added tests for this
- Moose::Meta::Attribute
- if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
as well.
- you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
- new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
- Moose::Meta::Role
- added basic support for runtime role composition
but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
is much appreciated :)
- added tests for this
- Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
- the type constraint now handles the coercion process
through delegation, this is to support the coercion
of unions
- Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
- it is now possible for coercions to be performed
on a type union
- added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
- Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
- properly capturing error when type constraint
is not found
- Build.PL
- Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
(thanks Adam Kennedy)
0.12 2006-09-01
- Moose::Cookbook
- Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
- Moose

- fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
keywords because we need to localize them.

**~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
- added the method and self keywords, they are basically
just sugar, and they may not stay around.
- Moose::Object
- added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
an object
- Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
- added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
- Moose::Meta::Role
- this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
- fixed tests to reflect this change
0.11 2006-07-12
- Moose
- added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
bottom of your class file.
- t/
- fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
dependency.
0.10 2006-07-06
- Moose
- improved error message when loading modules so
it is less confusing when you load a role.
- added &calculate_all_roles method to
Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
NOTE:
This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
0.09_03 2006-06-23

++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
- This release works in combination with
Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
release because it uses the a new
instance sub-protocol and a fairly

than the previous CPAN version. This
release also lacks good updated docs,
the official release will have updated docs.
