1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
5 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
6 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
7 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
9 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
10 associated_methods. (hdp)
11 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate, clearer) now
12 warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
13 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
16 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
17 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
18 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
19 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
21 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
22 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
23 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
25 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
28 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
29 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
30 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
32 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
34 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
35 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
37 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
38 * Moose::Manual::Types
39 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
40 string parsing rathole (mst)
42 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
43 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
44 using plain objects instead
47 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
52 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
53 three times today (perigrin)
54 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
55 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
57 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
58 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
59 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
60 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
63 - A role's required methods are now represented by
64 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
65 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
66 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
67 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
68 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
71 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
72 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
73 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
74 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
77 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
79 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
82 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
84 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
87 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
88 during global destruction. This method has been made more
89 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
93 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
94 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
97 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
98 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
100 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
101 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
102 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
105 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
107 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
108 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
111 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
115 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
116 methods during global destruction (doy)
119 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
120 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
124 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
125 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
128 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
129 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
132 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
133 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
135 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
137 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
141 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
142 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
143 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
146 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
147 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
148 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
151 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
153 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
154 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
155 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
158 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
159 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
160 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
161 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
163 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
164 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
165 of the Moose core (Sartak)
168 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
171 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
172 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
173 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
177 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
178 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
181 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
183 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
186 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
187 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
190 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
191 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
194 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
195 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
198 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
201 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
203 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
204 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
208 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
210 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
211 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
214 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
215 * More deprecations and renamings
216 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
217 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
218 when an object is constructed)
221 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
222 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
223 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
225 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
226 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
227 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
228 feature, and it works again.
231 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
233 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
235 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
236 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
237 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
239 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
240 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
241 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
242 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
243 message. Test provided by perigrin.
245 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
246 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
247 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
248 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
249 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
252 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
253 metaclass object. (hdp)
255 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
256 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
257 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
258 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
259 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
260 point out this fact. (hdp)
262 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
263 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
265 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
266 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
269 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
270 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
271 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
272 called during instance construction were passed the
273 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
274 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
276 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
277 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
280 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
281 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
282 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
285 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
286 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
287 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
288 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
289 them, but they are not for "public" use.
292 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
294 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
295 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
296 when an object is constructed)
297 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
299 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
300 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
301 when an object is constructed)
302 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
303 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
304 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
307 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
309 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
310 * No changes from 0.72_01.
312 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
314 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
315 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
316 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
318 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
319 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
320 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
322 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
324 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
325 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
327 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
328 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
331 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
332 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
335 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
336 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
337 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
339 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
340 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
344 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
345 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
346 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
348 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
349 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
352 * Moose::Manual::Delta
353 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
354 with recommended workarounds.
356 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
357 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
359 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
360 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
361 (yes, spelled like that).
363 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
364 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
367 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
368 changes in latest Class::MOP.
370 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
372 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
373 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
374 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
375 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
376 instead. Reported by doy.
378 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
380 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
381 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
383 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
384 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
385 message) is now deprecated.
386 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
387 often got it wrong. For example:
389 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
391 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
395 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
396 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
397 bite you in weird cases.
399 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
400 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
401 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
404 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
405 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
409 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
412 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
413 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
416 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
417 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
419 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
420 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
423 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
424 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
425 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
426 - added tests for this (stevan)
428 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
429 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
430 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
431 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
435 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
436 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
437 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
438 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
440 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
441 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
442 - added tests for this (rafl)
444 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
445 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
446 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
447 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
451 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
452 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
455 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
456 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
457 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
459 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
461 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
462 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
465 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
466 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
467 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
468 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
470 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
471 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
472 error message did not specify the attribute name
475 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
477 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
479 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
480 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
481 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
483 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
484 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
487 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
489 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
490 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
491 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
492 of fixes and formatting improvements.
494 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
496 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
497 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
498 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
499 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
501 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
502 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
503 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
505 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
506 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
507 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
508 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
509 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
511 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
512 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
513 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
514 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
515 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
517 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
518 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
519 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
520 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
521 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
522 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
524 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
525 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
526 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
527 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
528 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
529 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
531 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
532 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
534 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
535 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
536 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
537 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
539 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
540 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
543 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
547 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
548 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
550 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
551 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
552 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
555 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
556 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
557 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
559 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
560 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
561 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
562 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
565 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
568 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
569 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
571 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
573 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
576 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
577 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
578 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
579 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
580 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
581 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
583 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
584 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
585 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
586 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
587 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
588 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
589 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
590 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
591 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
592 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
594 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
596 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
597 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
599 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
600 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
601 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
602 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
604 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
605 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
606 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
607 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
608 same methods for a single role did not work
609 right (worked just fine with multiple
611 - added test for this (stevan)
613 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
614 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
615 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
618 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
619 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
620 - added test for this (t0m)
623 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
624 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
625 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
627 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
628 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
629 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
630 - added test for this (t0m)
632 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
633 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
634 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
635 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
636 - added test for this (perigrin)
639 - create method for constructing a role
641 - added test for this (Sartak)
642 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
643 - added test for this (Sartak)
646 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
648 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
649 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
650 methods is useful (Sartak)
652 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
653 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
654 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
658 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
659 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
660 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
661 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
662 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
663 - added tests for this (jdv79)
666 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
667 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
669 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
670 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
671 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
672 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
673 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
675 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
677 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
678 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
679 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
682 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
683 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
684 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
685 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
686 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
687 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
690 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
691 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
692 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
693 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
694 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
695 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
696 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
697 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
698 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
699 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
700 future. (jnapiorkowski)
702 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
703 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
706 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
707 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
708 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
709 type. (jnapiorkowski)
710 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
712 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
714 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
715 predicate, and link to more details sections in
716 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
718 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
719 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
721 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
722 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
723 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
724 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
727 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
728 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
730 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
732 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
733 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
736 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
737 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
740 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
741 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
742 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
743 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
745 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
746 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
748 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
749 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
750 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
751 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
752 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
753 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
754 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
755 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
757 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
758 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
759 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
761 * Roles and role application
762 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
763 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
764 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
765 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
766 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
768 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
769 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
772 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
773 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
774 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
775 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
776 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
779 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
780 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
781 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
782 changes in the Moose internals.
784 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
785 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
786 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
789 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
790 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
791 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
792 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
794 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
795 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
796 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
797 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
799 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
800 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
801 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
802 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
803 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
804 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
805 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
806 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
807 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
808 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
809 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
810 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
811 constraint implementations.
813 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
817 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
818 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
819 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
820 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
821 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
822 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
823 - added tests for this (rafl)
826 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
827 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
828 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
829 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
830 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
831 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
832 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
833 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
836 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
837 - added tests for this (thepler)
839 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
840 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
841 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
842 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
846 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
847 * Moose::Meta::Method
850 * Moose::Error::Default
851 * Moose::Error::Croak
852 * Moose::Error::Confess
853 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
854 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
855 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
856 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
857 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
858 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
860 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
862 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
863 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
866 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
867 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
868 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
870 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
871 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
872 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
873 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
874 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
877 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
878 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
880 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
881 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
882 several major changes in this release of Moose.
883 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
886 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
888 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
889 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
891 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
896 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
897 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.

901 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
902 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
903 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
904 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
905 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
906 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
908 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
909 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
910 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
912 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
913 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
914 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
917 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
918 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
919 dependency to 0.64_07.
921 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
922 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
923 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
925 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
926 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
929 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
930 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
931 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
932 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
933 coincidental exception. (t0m).
934 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
936 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
937 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
939 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
941 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
942 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
946 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
947 method when that method was provided by another role being
948 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
949 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
951 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
953 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
954 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
956 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
957 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
958 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
959 - added test for this (t0m)
961 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
962 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
963 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
965 - added test for this (t0m)
968 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
969 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
970 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
973 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
974 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
976 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
978 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
981 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
982 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
983 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
985 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
986 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
989 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
990 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
991 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
992 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
996 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
997 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
998 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1001 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1002 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1003 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1004 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1007 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1011 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1012 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1013 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1015 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008

1026 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1027 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1030 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1031 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1033 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1034 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1035 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)

1053 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1054 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1056 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1057 ... this is not my day today ...
1059 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1060 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1061 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1062 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1063 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1066 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1067 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1068 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1069 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1070 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1073 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1075 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1076 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1077 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1078 this is not ever something you want to do
1079 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1080 - added tests for this (stevan)
1083 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1085 - added test for this

1094 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
1096 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
1097 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1098 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1101 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1103 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1105 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1108 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1109 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1110 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1111 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1112 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1113 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1114 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1115 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1116 - added tests for this
1118 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1119 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1120 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1121 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
1123 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)

1138 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1139 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1140 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
1142 - Some null_constraint optimizations
1144 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
1145 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules

1154 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
1156 - added docs for this (TODO).
1157 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
1158 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
1159 Moose attributes which is "Moose"

1186 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
1188 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1189 (early morning release engineering)--
1191 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1192 which was causing the indexer to choke
1194 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1195 (late night release engineering)--
1197 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
1198 changes in this release
1200 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
1201 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1202 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
1204 * Moose::Meta::Class
1205 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
1206 since it is called so often by &meta
1208 * Moose::Meta::Class
1210 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
1211 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
1214 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1215 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
1216 method for immutablization to check if the
1217 destructor object even needs to be created
1220 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1221 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1222 - added more descriptive error message to help
1223 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
1224 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
1226 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
1228 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
1229 XS based functionality is now optional
1230 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1231 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1232 can now be used to force non-XS versions
1234 - several of the packages have been tweaked
1235 to take care of this, mostly we added
1236 support for the package_name and name
1237 variables in all the Method metaclasses
1238 - before/around/after method modifiers now
1239 support regexp matching of names
1240 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1241 - tests added for this
1242 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
1243 is currently not supported in roles,
1244 but, ... patches welcome
1245 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1246 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1247 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1250 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1251 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1252 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1253 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
1254 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
1255 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
1256 - added test for this
1258 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1259 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
1260 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
1263 * Moose::Meta::Class
1264 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
1268 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
1270 - added tests for this
1271 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
1272 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1274 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1275 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
1276 themselves parameterizable types
1278 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1279 - fixed bug where trigger was not being
1280 called by the inlined immutable
1282 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
1284 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
1285 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
1286 (if possible) to create the anon-class
1287 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
1289 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
1290 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
1294 - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was
1295 causing occasional cpantester failures
1296 - renamed the t/000_recipe/*.t tests to be
1297 more descriptive (thanks to Sartak)
1299 0.44 Sat. May 10, 2008
1301 - made make_immutable warning cluck to
1302 show where the error is (thanks mst)
1305 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
1306 ->body when looping through the
1307 methods, to avoid the overloaded
1309 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
1310 eating the $@ values, and so not
1311 working correctly, it still kind of
1312 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
1313 - added tests for this
1315 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
1316 - added new recipe for immutable
1317 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)
1319 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe9
1320 - added new recipe for builder and
1321 lazy_build (thanks Dave Rolsky)
1323 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
1324 - added new recipe for method aliasing
1325 and exclusion with Roles (thanks Dave Rolsky)
1328 - fixed Win32 test failure (thanks spicyjack)
1330 ~ removed Build.PL and Module::Build compat
1331 since Module::Install has done that.
1333 0.43 Wed. April, 30, 2008
1335 drink more coffee before
1336 doing release engineering
1338 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
1339 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr
1340 modules. This fixes that.
1342 0.42 Mon. April 28, 2008
1343 - some bad tests slipped by, nothing else
1344 changed in this release (cpantesters++)
1346 - upped the Class::MOP dependency to 0.55
1347 since we have tests which need the C3
1350 0.41 Mon. April 28, 2008
1351 ~~ numerous documentation updates ~~
1353 - Changed all usage of die to Carp::croak for better
1354 error reporting (initial patch by Tod Hagan)
1356 ** IMPORTANT NOTE **
1357 - the make_immutable keyword is now deprecated, don't
1358 use it in any new code and please fix your old code
1359 as well. There will be 2 releases, and then it will
1365 - refactored the way inner and super work to avoid
1366 any method/@ISA cache penalty (nothingmuch)
1368 * Moose::Meta::Class

1370 coerced value (spotted by Charles Alderman on the
1372 - added test for this
1374 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1375 - immutable classes which had non-lazy attributes were calling
1376 the default generating sub twice in the constructor. (bug
1377 found by Jesse Luehrs, fixed by Dave Rolsky)
1378 - added tests for this (Dave Rolsky)
1379 - fix typo in initialize_body method (nothingmuch)

1390 - inherited attributes may now be extended without
1391 restriction on the type ('isa', 'does') (Sartak)
1392 - added tests for this (Sartak)
1393 - when an attribute property is malformed (such as lazy without
1394 a default), give the name of the attribute in the error
1396 - added the &applied_traits and &has_applied_traits methods
1397 to allow introspection of traits
1398 - added tests for this
1399 - moved 'trait' and 'metaclass' argument handling to here from
1401 - clone_and_inherit_options now handles 'trait' and 'metaclass' (has
1402 '+foo' syntax) (nothingmuch)
1403 - added tests for this (t0m)
1406 - localize $@ inside DEMOLISHALL to avoid it
1407 eating $@ (found by Ernesto)
1408 - added test for this (thanks to Ernesto)

1453 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
1455 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
1456 that come from recently composed roles. It makes

1499 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
1500 it ever did this originally, this means we now
1501 have slightly better support for AUTOLOADed
1503 - added more delegation tests
1504 - adding ->does method to this so as to better
1505 support traits and their introspection.

1746 - added tests for this
1749 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
1750 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

1792 - fixed how required methods are handled
1793 when they encounter overriden or modified
1794 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
1795 - added tests for this
1797 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1798 - fixed the type notation parser so that
1799 the | always creates a union and so is
1800 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
1801 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
1803 - added more tests for this
1805 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
1808 * Parameterized Types
1809 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
1810 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
1811 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
1812 They can also be nested:
1813 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
1814 And work with the type unions as well:
1815 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
1817 * Better Framework Extendability
1818 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
1819 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
1820 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
1821 section of the Moose.pm docs.
1824 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
1825 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
1826 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
1827 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

2081 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2082 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2084 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2085 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2088 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2090 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2091 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2092 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2095 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2096 !! for this developer release to work !!
2098 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2099 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2100 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2101 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2102 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2103 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2104 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2105 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2106 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2107 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2108 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2110 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2111 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2112 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2113 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2116 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2117 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2118 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2119 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2120 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2122 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2124 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2125 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2128 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2129 called unless they actually need to be.
2130 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2131 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2132 DEMOLISH method present.
2134 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2135 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2136 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2137 type constraint, which allows for a
2138 hand optimized version of the type
2139 constraint to be used when possible.
2140 - Any internally created type constraints
2141 now provide an optimized version as well.
2143 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2145 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2146 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2147 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2149 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2150 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2151 your class namespace of these exported
2154 * Moose::Meta::Class
2155 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2156 comes up during global destruction
2158 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2162 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2165 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2166 - changed how we do type checks so that
2167 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2170 - moved accessor generation methods to
2171 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2172 conform to the API changes from
2175 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2176 - changed how constraints are compiled
2177 so that we do less recursion and more
2178 iteration. This makes the type check
2180 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2183 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2184 - created this from methods formerly found in
2185 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2187 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2188 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2190 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2191 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2193 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2194 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2196 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2198 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2199 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2200 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2201 - added tests for this
2202 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2203 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2204 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2205 - removed tests for this
2207 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2209 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2210 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2211 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2214 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2215 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2216 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2218 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2219 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2220 comments for more info.
2223 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2224 asked questions and common problems
2226 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2227 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2228 - added tests for this
2230 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2231 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2232 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2233 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2235 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2236 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2239 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2240 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2241 is much appreciated :)
2242 - added tests for this
2244 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2245 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2246 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2249 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2250 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2252 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2254 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2255 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2259 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2260 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2261 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2263 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2265 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2268 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2269 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2270 keywords because we need to localize them.
2271 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2273 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2274 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2275 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2278 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2281 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2282 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2283 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2286 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2287 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2288 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2290 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2292 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2293 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2294 bottom of your class file.
2297 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2300 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2302 - improved error message when loading modules so
2303 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2304 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2305 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2308 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2309 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2310 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2312 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2313 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2315 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2316 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2317 turn them on for you.
2318 - added tests for this
2319 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2320 in Moose::Meta::Class
2323 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
2324 automatically turned on for you.

2343 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
2346 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
2347 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2348 - This release works in combination with
2349 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2350 release because it uses the a new
2351 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2352 complete Role implementation. It has
2353 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2354 the the previous CPAN version. This
2355 release also lacks good updated docs,
2356 the official release will have updated docs.
2359 - refactored the keyword exports
2360 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2361 accepts more than one Role at a time
2362 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
2363 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
2366 - refactored the keyword exports
2367 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2368 accepts more than one Role at a time
2370 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2371 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
2372 string enumerations which can be used as
2374 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2377 - more careful checking of params to new()
2380 - much work done on the role composition
2381 - many new tests for conflict detection
2382 and composition edge cases
2383 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2384 looking at the tests
2386 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2387 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2388 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
2390 * Moose::Meta::Class
2391 - some small changes to support the new
2393 - some small additions to support Roles
2395 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2396 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
2398 - some small changes to support the new
2400 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
2401 with the 'handles' option
2402 - added several tests for this
2403 - no docs for this yet
2405 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
2407 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2408 thanks to chansen for this commit
2409 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2410 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2411 on a per-attribute basis
2412 - added tests for this
2413 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2414 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
2415 experimental feature and probably not finished

2417 more details, or ask about it on #moose
2418 - added tests for this

2433 construct_instance (for the better)
2435 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

2480 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
2482 - added test for this
2485 - this class can now be extended with 'use base' if
