1 Revision history for Perl extension Moose
5 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
6 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
7 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
8 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
9 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
10 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
11 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
12 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
13 - changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is delegated to a
14 type constraint parent. This clears up some hardcoded checking and
15 should allow correct subtypes of Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint
16 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
17 - added new method 'create_childtype' so that a parent can now be in
18 charge of creating and influencing it's own children.
19 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
20 - more careful sorting of the type constraints that make up a name string
21 - support for create_childtype customization
22 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized
23 - support for create_childtype customization
24 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
25 - new parameterize method which is a type of factory method to make a new
26 type constraint with a given parameterized type.
28 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
29 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
30 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
31 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
32 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
33 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
35 * /t/040_type_constraints/027_parameterize_from.t
36 - test to make sure the new parameterize method works.
37 * /t/040_type_constraints/030-class_subtypes.t
38 - test to make sure we can properly subclass Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
40 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
42 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
43 predicate, and link to more details sections in
44 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
46 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
47 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
49 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
50 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
51 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
52 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
55 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
56 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
58 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
60 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
61 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
64 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
65 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
68 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
69 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
70 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
71 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
73 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
74 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
76 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
77 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
78 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
79 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
80 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
81 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
82 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
83 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
85 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
86 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
87 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
89 * Roles and role application
90 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
91 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
92 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
93 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
94 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
96 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
97 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
100 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
101 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
102 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
103 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
104 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
107 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
108 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
109 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
110 changes in the Moose internals.
112 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
113 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
114 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
117 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
118 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
119 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
120 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
122 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
123 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
124 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
125 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
127 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
128 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
129 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
130 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
131 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
132 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
133 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
134 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
135 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
136 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
137 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
138 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
139 constraint implementations.
141 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
145 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
146 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
147 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
148 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
149 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
150 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
151 - added tests for this (rafl)
154 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
155 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
156 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
157 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
158 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
159 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
160 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
161 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
164 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
165 - added tests for this (thepler)
167 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
168 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
169 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
170 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
174 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
175 * Moose::Meta::Method
178 * Moose::Error::Default
179 * Moose::Error::Croak
180 * Moose::Error::Confess
181 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
182 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
183 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
184 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
185 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
186 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
188 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
190 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
191 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
194 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
195 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
196 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
198 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
199 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
200 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
201 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
202 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
205 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
206 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
208 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
209 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
210 several major changes in this release of Moose.
211 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
214 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
216 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
217 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
219 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
224 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
225 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
227 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
229 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
230 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
231 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
232 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
233 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
234 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
236 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
237 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
238 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
240 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3

242 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
245 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
246 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
247 dependency to 0.64_07.
249 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
250 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
251 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
253 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
254 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
257 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
258 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
259 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
260 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
261 coincidental exception. (t0m).
262 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
264 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
265 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
267 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
269 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
270 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
274 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
275 method when that method was provided by another role being
276 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
277 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
279 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
281 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
282 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
284 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor

286 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
287 - added test for this (t0m)
289 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
290 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
291 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
293 - added test for this (t0m)
296 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
297 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
298 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
301 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
302 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
304 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
306 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
309 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
310 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
311 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
313 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
314 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
317 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
318 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
319 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
320 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
324 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
325 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
326 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
329 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
330 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
331 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
332 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
335 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
339 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
340 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
341 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
343 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
344 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
345 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
346 created so that the process can be more easily
347 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
349 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
350 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
351 the type constraints (RT #37569)
352 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
354 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
355 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
358 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
359 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
361 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
362 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
363 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
365 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
366 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
367 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
369 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4

381 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
382 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
384 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
385 ... this is not my day today ...
387 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
388 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
389 clone_and_inherit options still works for
390 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
391 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
394 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
395 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
396 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
397 in this release, except the fact that it includes
398 the changes that I didn't include in the last
401 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
403 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
404 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
405 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
406 this is not ever something you want to do
407 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
408 - added tests for this (stevan)
411 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
413 - added test for this

426 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
429 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
431 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
433 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
436 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
437 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
438 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
439 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
440 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
441 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
442 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
443 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
444 - added tests for this
446 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
447 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
448 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
449 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
451 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
453 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
454 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
455 - added tests for this (sartak)
456 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
457 install_delegation method (Stevan)

482 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
484 - added docs for this (TODO).
485 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
486 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
487 Moose attributes which is "Moose"
488 - fix builder and default both being used

520 which was causing the indexer to choke
522 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
523 (late night release engineering)--
525 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
526 changes in this release
528 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
529 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
530 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
533 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
534 since it is called so often by &meta
538 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
539 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
542 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
543 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
544 method for immutablization to check if the
545 destructor object even needs to be created
548 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
549 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
550 - added more descriptive error message to help
551 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
552 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
554 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
556 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
557 XS based functionality is now optional
558 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
559 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
560 can now be used to force non-XS versions
562 - several of the packages have been tweaked
563 to take care of this, mostly we added
564 support for the package_name and name
565 variables in all the Method metaclasses
566 - before/around/after method modifiers now
567 support regexp matching of names
568 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
569 - tests added for this
570 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
571 is currently not supported in roles,
572 but, ... patches welcome
573 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
574 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
575 the stack trace is usually not helpful
578 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
579 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
580 the stack trace is usually not helpful
581 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
582 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
583 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
584 - added test for this
586 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
587 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
588 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
592 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
596 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
598 - added tests for this
599 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
600 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
602 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
603 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
604 themselves parameterizable types
606 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
607 - fixed bug where trigger was not being
608 called by the inlined immutable
610 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
612 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
613 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
614 (if possible) to create the anon-class
615 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
617 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
618 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
622 - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was
623 causing occasional cpantester failures
624 - renamed the t/000_recipe/*.t tests to be
625 more descriptive (thanks to Sartak)
627 0.44 Sat. May 10, 2008
629 - made make_immutable warning cluck to
630 show where the error is (thanks mst)
633 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
634 ->body when looping through the
635 methods, to avoid the overloaded
637 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
638 eating the $@ values, and so not
639 working correctly, it still kind of
640 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
641 - added tests for this
643 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
644 - added new recipe for immutable
645 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)
647 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe9
648 - added new recipe for builder and
649 lazy_build (thanks Dave Rolsky)

652 - added new recipe for method aliasing
653 and exclusion with Roles (thanks Dave Rolsky)
656 - fixed Win32 test failure (thanks spicyjack)
658 ~ removed Build.PL and Module::Build compat
659 since Module::Install has done that.
661 0.43 Wed. April, 30, 2008
663 drink more coffee before
664 doing release engineering
666 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
667 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr
668 modules. This fixes that.
670 0.42 Mon. April 28, 2008
671 - some bad tests slipped by, nothing else
672 changed in this release (cpantesters++)
674 - upped the Class::MOP dependency to 0.55
675 since we have tests which need the C3
678 0.41 Mon. April 28, 2008
679 ~~ numerous documentation updates ~~
681 - Changed all usage of die to Carp::croak for better
682 error reporting (initial patch by Tod Hagan)
685 - the make_immutable keyword is now deprecated, don't
686 use it in any new code and please fix your old code
687 as well. There will be 2 releases, and then it will
693 - refactored the way inner and super work to avoid
694 any method/@ISA cache penalty (nothingmuch)

698 coerced value (spotted by Charles Alderman on the
700 - added test for this
702 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor

778 0.40 Fri. March 14, 2008
779 - I hate Pod::Coverage
781 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008

1121 when they encounter overriden or modified
1122 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
1123 - added tests for this
1125 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint

1131 - added more tests for this
1133 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
1136 * Parameterized Types
1137 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
1138 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
1139 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
1140 They can also be nested:
1141 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegExpr]] # an array of hashes with regexpr values
1142 And work with the type unions as well:
1143 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
1145 * Better Framework Extendability
1146 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
1147 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
1148 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
1149 section of the Moose.pm docs.
1152 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
1153 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
1154 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
1155 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

1409 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
1410 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
1412 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
1413 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
1416 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
1418 - added tests to show types and subtypes
1419 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
1420 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
1423 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
1424 !! for this developer release to work !!
1426 This release was primarily adding the immutable
1427 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
1428 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
1429 as immutable it will perform various bits of
1430 memoization and inline certain part of the code
1431 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
1432 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
1433 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
1434 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
1435 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
1436 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
1438 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
1439 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
1440 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
1441 truely interested in what was changed, please do
1444 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
1445 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1446 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
1447 are have a type constraint and lazy.
1448 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
1450 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
1452 There are some speed improvements in this release,
1453 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
1456 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
1457 called unless they actually need to be.
1458 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
1459 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
1460 DEMOLISH method present.
1462 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1463 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1464 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
1465 type constraint, which allows for a
1466 hand optimized version of the type
1467 constraint to be used when possible.
1468 - Any internally created type constraints
1469 now provide an optimized version as well.
1471 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
1473 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
1474 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
1475 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
1477 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1478 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
1479 your class namespace of these exported
1482 * Moose::Meta::Class
1483 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
1484 comes up during global destruction
1486 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
1490 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
1493 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1494 - changed how we do type checks so that
1495 we reduce the overall cost, but still
1498 - moved accessor generation methods to
1499 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
1500 conform to the API changes from
1503 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1504 - changed how constraints are compiled
1505 so that we do less recursion and more
1506 iteration. This makes the type check
1508 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1511 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1512 - created this from methods formerly found in
1513 Moose::Meta::Attribute
1515 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
1516 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
1518 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1519 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
1521 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1522 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1524 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
1526 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1527 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
1528 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
1529 - added tests for this
1530 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
1531 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
1532 broke predicates in an ugly way.
1533 - removed tests for this
1535 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
1537 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
1538 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
1539 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
1542 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
1543 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
1544 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
1546 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
1547 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
1548 comments for more info.
1551 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
1552 asked questions and common problems
1554 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1555 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
1556 - added tests for this
1558 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1559 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
1560 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
1561 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
1563 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
1564 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
1567 - added basic support for runtime role composition
1568 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
1569 is much appreciated :)
1570 - added tests for this
1572 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1573 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
1574 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
1577 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1578 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
1580 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
1582 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1583 - properly capturing error when type constraint
1587 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
1588 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
1589 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
1591 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
1593 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
1596 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
1597 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
1598 keywords because we need to localize them.
1599 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
1601 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
1602 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
1603 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
1606 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
1609 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1610 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
1611 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
1614 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
1615 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
1616 - fixed tests to reflect this change
1618 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
1620 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
1621 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
1622 bottom of your class file.
1625 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
1628 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
1630 - improved error message when loading modules so
1631 it is less confusing when you load a role.
1632 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
1633 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
1636 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
1637 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
1638 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
1640 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
1641 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
1643 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
1644 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
1645 turn them on for you.
1646 - added tests for this
1647 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
1648 in Moose::Meta::Class
1651 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
1652 automatically turned on for you.

1671 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
1674 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
1675 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
1676 - This release works in combination with
1677 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
1678 release because it uses the a new
1679 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
1680 complete Role implementation. It has
1681 not yet been optimized, so it slower
1682 the the previous CPAN version. This
1683 release also lacks good updated docs,
1684 the official release will have updated docs.
1687 - refactored the keyword exports
1688 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
1689 accepts more than one Role at a time
1690 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
1691 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
1694 - refactored the keyword exports
1695 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
1696 accepts more than one Role at a time
1698 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1699 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
1700 string enumerations which can be used as
1702 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
1705 - more careful checking of params to new()
1708 - much work done on the role composition
1709 - many new tests for conflict detection
1710 and composition edge cases
1711 - not enough documentation, I suggest
1712 looking at the tests
1714 * Moose::Meta::Instance
1715 - added new Instance metaclass to support
1716 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
1718 * Moose::Meta::Class
1719 - some small changes to support the new
1721 - some small additions to support Roles
1723 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1724 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
1726 - some small changes to support the new
1728 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
1729 with the 'handles' option
1730 - added several tests for this
1731 - no docs for this yet
1733 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
1735 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
1736 thanks to chansen for this commit
1737 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
1738 to support custom attribute meta-classes
1739 on a per-attribute basis
1740 - added tests for this
1741 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
1742 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
1743 experimental feature and probably not finished

1745 more details, or ask about it on #moose
1746 - added tests for this

1808 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
1810 - added test for this
1813 - this class can now be extended with 'use base' if
