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 no
7 associated methods, it will give a deprecation warning. (hdp)
8 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
9 associated_methods. (hdp)
11 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
12 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
13 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
16 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
17 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
18 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
20 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
22 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
23 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
25 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
26 * Moose::Manual::Types
27 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
28 string parsing rathole (mst)
30 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
31 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
32 using plain objects instead
35 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
40 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
41 three times today (perigrin)
42 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
43 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
45 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
46 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
47 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
48 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
51 - A role's required methods are now represented by
52 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
53 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
54 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
55 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
56 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
59 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
60 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
61 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
62 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
65 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
67 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
70 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
72 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
75 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
76 during global destruction. This method has been made more
77 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
81 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
82 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
85 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
86 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
88 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
89 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
90 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
93 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
95 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
96 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
99 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
103 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
104 methods during global destruction (doy)
107 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
108 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
112 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
113 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
116 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
117 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
120 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
121 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
123 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
125 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
129 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
130 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
131 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
134 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
135 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
136 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
139 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
141 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
142 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
143 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
146 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
147 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
148 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
149 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
151 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
152 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
153 of the Moose core (Sartak)
156 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
159 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
160 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
161 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
165 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
166 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
169 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
171 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
174 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
175 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
178 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
179 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
182 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
183 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
186 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
189 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
191 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
192 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
196 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
198 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
199 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
202 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
203 * More deprecations and renamings
204 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
205 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
206 when an object is constructed)
209 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
210 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
211 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
213 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
214 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
215 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
216 feature, and it works again.
219 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
221 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
223 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
224 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
225 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
227 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
228 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
229 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
230 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
231 message. Test provided by perigrin.
233 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
234 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
235 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
236 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
237 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
240 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
241 metaclass object. (hdp)
243 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
244 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
245 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
246 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
247 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
248 point out this fact. (hdp)
250 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
251 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
253 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
254 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
257 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
258 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
259 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
260 called during instance construction were passed the
261 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
262 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
264 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
265 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
268 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
269 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
270 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
273 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
274 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
275 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
276 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
277 them, but they are not for "public" use.
280 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
282 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
283 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
284 when an object is constructed)
285 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
287 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
288 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
289 when an object is constructed)
290 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
291 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
292 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
295 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
297 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
298 * No changes from 0.72_01.
300 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
302 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
303 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
304 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
306 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
307 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
308 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
310 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
312 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
313 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
315 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
316 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
319 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
320 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
323 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
324 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
325 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
327 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
328 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
332 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
333 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
334 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
336 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
337 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
340 * Moose::Manual::Delta
341 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
342 with recommended workarounds.
344 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
345 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
347 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
348 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
349 (yes, spelled like that).
351 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
352 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
355 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
356 changes in latest Class::MOP.
358 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
360 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
361 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
362 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
363 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
364 instead. Reported by doy.
366 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
368 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
369 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
371 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
372 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
373 message) is now deprecated.
374 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
375 often got it wrong. For example:
377 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
379 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
383 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
384 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
385 bite you in weird cases.
387 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
388 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
389 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
392 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
393 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
397 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
400 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
401 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
404 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
405 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
407 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
408 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
411 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
412 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
413 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
414 - added tests for this (stevan)
416 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
417 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
418 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
419 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
423 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
424 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
425 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
426 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
428 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
429 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
430 - added tests for this (rafl)
432 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
433 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
434 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
435 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
439 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
440 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
443 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
444 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
445 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
447 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
449 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
450 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
453 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
454 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
455 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
456 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
458 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
459 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
460 error message did not specify the attribute name
463 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
465 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
467 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
468 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
469 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
471 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
472 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
475 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
477 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
478 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
479 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
480 of fixes and formatting improvements.
482 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
484 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
485 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
486 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
487 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
489 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
490 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
491 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
493 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
494 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
495 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
496 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
497 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
499 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
500 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
501 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
502 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
503 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
505 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
506 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
507 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
508 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
509 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
510 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
512 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
513 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
514 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
515 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
516 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
517 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
519 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
520 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
522 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
523 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
524 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
525 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
527 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
528 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
531 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
535 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
536 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
538 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
539 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
540 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
543 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
544 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
545 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
547 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
548 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
549 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
550 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
553 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
556 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
557 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
559 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
561 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
564 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
565 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
566 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
567 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
568 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
569 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
571 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
572 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
573 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
574 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
575 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
576 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
577 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
578 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
579 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
580 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
582 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
584 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
585 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
587 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
588 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
589 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
590 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
592 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
593 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
594 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
595 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
596 same methods for a single role did not work
597 right (worked just fine with multiple
599 - added test for this (stevan)
601 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
602 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
603 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
606 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
607 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
608 - added test for this (t0m)
611 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
612 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
613 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
615 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
616 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
617 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
618 - added test for this (t0m)
620 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
621 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
622 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
623 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
624 - added test for this (perigrin)
627 - create method for constructing a role
629 - added test for this (Sartak)
630 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
631 - added test for this (Sartak)
634 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
636 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
637 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
638 methods is useful (Sartak)
640 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
641 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
642 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
646 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
647 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
648 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
649 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
650 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
651 - added tests for this (jdv79)
654 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
655 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
657 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
658 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
659 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
660 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
661 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
663 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
665 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
666 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
667 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
670 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
671 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
672 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
673 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
674 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
675 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
678 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
679 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
680 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
681 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
682 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
683 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
684 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
685 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
686 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
687 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
688 future. (jnapiorkowski)
690 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
691 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
694 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
695 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
696 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
697 type. (jnapiorkowski)
698 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
700 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
702 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
703 predicate, and link to more details sections in
704 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
706 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
707 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
709 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
710 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
711 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
712 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
715 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
716 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
718 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
720 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
721 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
724 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
725 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
728 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
729 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
730 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
731 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
733 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
734 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
736 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
737 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
738 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
739 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
740 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
741 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
742 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
743 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
745 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
746 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
747 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
749 * Roles and role application
750 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
751 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
752 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
753 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
754 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
756 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
757 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
760 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
761 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
762 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
763 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
764 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
767 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
768 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
769 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
770 changes in the Moose internals.
772 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
773 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
774 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
777 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
778 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
779 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
780 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
782 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
783 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
784 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
785 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
787 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
788 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
789 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
790 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
791 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
792 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
793 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
794 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
795 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
796 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
797 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
798 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
799 constraint implementations.
801 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
805 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
806 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
807 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
808 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
809 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
810 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
811 - added tests for this (rafl)
814 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
815 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
816 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
817 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
818 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
819 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
820 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
821 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
824 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
825 - added tests for this (thepler)
827 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
828 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
829 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
830 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
834 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
835 * Moose::Meta::Method
838 * Moose::Error::Default
839 * Moose::Error::Croak
840 * Moose::Error::Confess
841 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
842 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
843 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
844 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
845 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
846 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
848 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
850 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
851 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
854 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
855 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
856 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
858 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
859 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
860 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
861 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
862 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
865 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
866 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
868 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
869 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
870 several major changes in this release of Moose.
871 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
874 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
876 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
877 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
879 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
884 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
885 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.

889 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
890 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
891 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
892 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
893 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
894 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
896 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
897 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
898 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
900 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
901 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
902 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
905 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
906 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
907 dependency to 0.64_07.
909 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
910 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
911 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
913 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
914 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
917 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
918 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
919 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
920 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
921 coincidental exception. (t0m).
922 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
924 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
925 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
927 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
929 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
930 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
934 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
935 method when that method was provided by another role being
936 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
937 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
939 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
941 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
942 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
944 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
945 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
946 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
947 - added test for this (t0m)
949 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
950 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
951 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
953 - added test for this (t0m)
956 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
957 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
958 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
961 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
962 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
964 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
966 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
969 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
970 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
971 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
973 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
974 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
977 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
978 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
979 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
980 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
984 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
985 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
986 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
989 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
990 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
991 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
992 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
995 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
999 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1000 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1001 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1003 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1004 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1005 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are

1015 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1018 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1019 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1021 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10

1041 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1042 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1044 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1045 ... this is not my day today ...
1047 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1048 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1049 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1050 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1051 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1054 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1055 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1056 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1057 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1058 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1061 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1063 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1064 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1065 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1066 this is not ever something you want to do
1067 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1068 - added tests for this (stevan)
1071 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1073 - added test for this

1082 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
1084 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
1085 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1086 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1089 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1091 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1093 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1096 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1097 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1098 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1099 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1100 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1101 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1102 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1103 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1104 - added tests for this
1106 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1107 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1108 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1109 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
1111 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)

1176 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1177 (early morning release engineering)--
1179 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1180 which was causing the indexer to choke
1182 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1183 (late night release engineering)--
1185 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
1186 changes in this release
1188 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
1189 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1190 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
1192 * Moose::Meta::Class
1193 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
1194 since it is called so often by &meta
1196 * Moose::Meta::Class
1198 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
1199 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
1202 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1203 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
1204 method for immutablization to check if the
1205 destructor object even needs to be created
1208 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1209 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1210 - added more descriptive error message to help
1211 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
1212 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
1214 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
1216 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
1217 XS based functionality is now optional
1218 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1219 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1220 can now be used to force non-XS versions
1222 - several of the packages have been tweaked
1223 to take care of this, mostly we added
1224 support for the package_name and name
1225 variables in all the Method metaclasses
1226 - before/around/after method modifiers now
1227 support regexp matching of names
1228 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1229 - tests added for this
1230 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
1231 is currently not supported in roles,
1232 but, ... patches welcome
1233 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1234 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1235 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1238 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1239 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1240 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1241 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
1242 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
1243 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
1244 - added test for this
1246 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1247 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
1248 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
1251 * Moose::Meta::Class
1252 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
1256 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
1258 - added tests for this
1259 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
1260 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1262 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1263 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
1264 themselves parameterizable types
1266 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1267 - fixed bug where trigger was not being
1268 called by the inlined immutable
1270 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
1272 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
1273 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
1274 (if possible) to create the anon-class
1275 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
1277 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
1278 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
1282 - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was
1283 causing occasional cpantester failures
1284 - renamed the t/000_recipe/*.t tests to be
1285 more descriptive (thanks to Sartak)
1287 0.44 Sat. May 10, 2008
1289 - made make_immutable warning cluck to
1290 show where the error is (thanks mst)
1293 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
1294 ->body when looping through the
1295 methods, to avoid the overloaded
1297 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
1298 eating the $@ values, and so not
1299 working correctly, it still kind of
1300 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
1301 - added tests for this
1303 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
1304 - added new recipe for immutable
1305 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)
1307 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe9

1311 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
1312 - added new recipe for method aliasing
1313 and exclusion with Roles (thanks Dave Rolsky)
1316 - fixed Win32 test failure (thanks spicyjack)
1318 ~ removed Build.PL and Module::Build compat
1319 since Module::Install has done that.
1321 0.43 Wed. April, 30, 2008
1323 drink more coffee before
1324 doing release engineering
1326 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
1327 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr
1328 modules. This fixes that.
1330 0.42 Mon. April 28, 2008
1331 - some bad tests slipped by, nothing else
1332 changed in this release (cpantesters++)
1334 - upped the Class::MOP dependency to 0.55
1335 since we have tests which need the C3

1339 ~~ numerous documentation updates ~~
1341 - Changed all usage of die to Carp::croak for better
1342 error reporting (initial patch by Tod Hagan)
1344 ** IMPORTANT NOTE **
1345 - the make_immutable keyword is now deprecated, don't
1346 use it in any new code and please fix your old code
1347 as well. There will be 2 releases, and then it will
1353 - refactored the way inner and super work to avoid
1354 any method/@ISA cache penalty (nothingmuch)

1358 coerced value (spotted by Charles Alderman on the
1360 - added test for this
1362 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1363 - immutable classes which had non-lazy attributes were calling
1364 the default generating sub twice in the constructor. (bug
1365 found by Jesse Luehrs, fixed by Dave Rolsky)

1378 - inherited attributes may now be extended without
1379 restriction on the type ('isa', 'does') (Sartak)

1385 to allow introspection of traits
1386 - added tests for this
1387 - moved 'trait' and 'metaclass' argument handling to here from

1441 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
1443 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
1444 that come from recently composed roles. It makes
1445 sense, people are using it, and so why not just

1487 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
1488 it ever did this originally, this means we now

1491 - added more delegation tests
1492 - adding ->does method to this so as to better
1493 support traits and their introspection.

1734 - added tests for this
1737 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
1738 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

1781 when they encounter overriden or modified
1782 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
1783 - added tests for this
1785 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint

1793 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
1796 * Parameterized Types
1797 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
1798 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
1799 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
1800 They can also be nested:
1801 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
1802 And work with the type unions as well:
1803 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
1805 * Better Framework Extendability
1806 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
1807 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
1808 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
1809 section of the Moose.pm docs.
1812 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
1813 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
1814 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
1815 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

2079 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2080 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2083 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2084 !! for this developer release to work !!
2086 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2087 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2088 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2089 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2090 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2091 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2092 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2093 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2094 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2095 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2096 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2098 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2099 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2100 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2101 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2104 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2105 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2106 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2107 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2108 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2110 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2112 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2113 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2116 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2117 called unless they actually need to be.
2118 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2119 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2120 DEMOLISH method present.
2122 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2123 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2124 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2125 type constraint, which allows for a
2126 hand optimized version of the type
2127 constraint to be used when possible.
2128 - Any internally created type constraints
2129 now provide an optimized version as well.
2131 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2133 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2134 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2135 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2137 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2138 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2139 your class namespace of these exported
2142 * Moose::Meta::Class
2143 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2144 comes up during global destruction
2146 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2150 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2153 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2154 - changed how we do type checks so that
2155 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2158 - moved accessor generation methods to
2159 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2160 conform to the API changes from
2163 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2164 - changed how constraints are compiled
2165 so that we do less recursion and more
2166 iteration. This makes the type check
2168 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2171 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2172 - created this from methods formerly found in
2173 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2175 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2176 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2178 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2179 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2181 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2182 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2184 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2186 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2187 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2188 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2189 - added tests for this
2190 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2191 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2192 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2193 - removed tests for this
2195 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2197 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2198 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2199 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2202 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2203 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2204 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2206 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2207 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2208 comments for more info.
2211 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2212 asked questions and common problems
2214 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2215 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2216 - added tests for this
2218 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2219 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2220 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2221 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2223 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2224 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2227 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2228 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2229 is much appreciated :)
2230 - added tests for this
2232 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2233 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2234 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2237 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2238 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2240 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2242 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2243 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2247 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2248 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2249 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2251 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2253 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2256 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2257 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2258 keywords because we need to localize them.
2259 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2261 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2262 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2263 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2266 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2269 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2270 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2271 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2274 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2275 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2276 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2278 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2280 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2281 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2282 bottom of your class file.
2285 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2288 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2290 - improved error message when loading modules so
2291 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2292 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2293 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2296 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2297 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2298 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2300 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2301 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2303 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2304 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2305 turn them on for you.
2306 - added tests for this
2307 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2308 in Moose::Meta::Class
2311 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
2312 automatically turned on for you.

2335 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2336 - This release works in combination with
2337 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2338 release because it uses the a new
2339 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2340 complete Role implementation. It has
2341 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2342 the the previous CPAN version. This
2343 release also lacks good updated docs,
2344 the official release will have updated docs.
2347 - refactored the keyword exports
2348 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2349 accepts more than one Role at a time
2350 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
2351 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
2354 - refactored the keyword exports
2355 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2356 accepts more than one Role at a time
2358 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2359 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
2360 string enumerations which can be used as
2362 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2365 - more careful checking of params to new()
2368 - much work done on the role composition
2369 - many new tests for conflict detection
2370 and composition edge cases
2371 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2372 looking at the tests
2374 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2375 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2376 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
2378 * Moose::Meta::Class
2379 - some small changes to support the new
2381 - some small additions to support Roles
2383 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2384 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
2386 - some small changes to support the new
2388 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
2389 with the 'handles' option
2390 - added several tests for this
2391 - no docs for this yet
2393 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
2395 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2396 thanks to chansen for this commit
2397 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2398 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2399 on a per-attribute basis
2400 - added tests for this
2401 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2402 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
2403 experimental feature and probably not finished
2404 see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
2405 more details, or ask about it on #moose
2406 - added tests for this
2409 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter

2421 construct_instance (for the better)
2423 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

2468 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
2470 - added test for this
2473 - this class can now be extended with 'use base' if
