1 Revision history for Perl extension Moose
5 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
6 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
7 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
9 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
11 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
12 predicate, and link to more details sections in
13 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
15 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
16 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
18 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
19 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
20 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
21 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
24 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
25 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
27 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
29 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
30 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
33 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
34 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
37 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
38 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
39 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
40 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
42 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
43 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
45 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
46 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
47 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
48 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
49 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
50 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
51 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
52 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
54 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
55 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
56 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
58 * Roles and role application
59 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
60 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
61 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
62 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
63 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
65 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
66 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
69 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
70 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
71 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
72 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
73 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
76 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
77 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
78 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
79 changes in the Moose internals.
81 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
82 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
83 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
86 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
87 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
88 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
89 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
91 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
92 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
93 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
94 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
96 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
97 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
98 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
99 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
100 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
101 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
102 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
103 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
104 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
105 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
106 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
107 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
108 constraint implementations.
110 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
114 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
115 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
116 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
117 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
118 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
119 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
120 - added tests for this (rafl)
123 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
124 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
125 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
126 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
127 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
128 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
129 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
130 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
133 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
134 - added tests for this (thepler)
136 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
137 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
138 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
139 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
143 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
144 * Moose::Meta::Method
147 * Moose::Error::Default
148 * Moose::Error::Croak
149 * Moose::Error::Confess
150 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
151 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
152 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
153 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
154 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
155 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
157 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
159 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
160 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
163 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
164 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
165 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
167 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
168 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
169 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
170 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
171 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
174 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
175 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
177 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
178 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
179 several major changes in this release of Moose.
180 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
183 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
185 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
186 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
188 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
193 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
194 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
196 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
198 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
199 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
200 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
201 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
202 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
203 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
205 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
206 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
207 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
209 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
210 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
211 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
214 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
215 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
216 dependency to 0.64_07.
218 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
219 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
220 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
222 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
223 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
226 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
227 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
228 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
229 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
230 coincidental exception. (t0m).
231 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
233 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
234 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
236 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
238 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
239 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
243 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
244 method when that method was provided by another role being
245 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
246 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
248 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
250 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
251 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
253 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
254 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
255 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
256 - added test for this (t0m)
258 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
259 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
260 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
262 - added test for this (t0m)
265 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
266 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
267 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
270 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
271 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
273 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
275 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
278 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
279 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
280 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
282 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
283 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
286 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
287 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
288 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
289 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
293 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
294 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
295 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
298 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
299 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
300 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
301 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
304 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
308 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
309 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
310 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
312 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
313 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

319 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
320 the type constraints (RT #37569)

323 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
324 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
327 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
328 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
330 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
331 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
332 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
334 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
335 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
336 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)

350 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
351 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
353 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
354 ... this is not my day today ...
356 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
357 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
358 clone_and_inherit options still works for
359 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
360 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
363 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
364 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
365 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
366 in this release, except the fact that it includes
367 the changes that I didn't include in the last
370 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
372 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
373 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
374 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
375 this is not ever something you want to do
376 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
377 - added tests for this (stevan)
380 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
382 - added test for this

400 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
402 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
405 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
406 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
407 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
408 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
409 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
410 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
411 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
412 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
413 - added tests for this
415 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
416 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
417 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
418 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
420 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
422 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
423 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
424 - added tests for this (sartak)
425 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
426 install_delegation method (Stevan)

489 which was causing the indexer to choke
491 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
492 (late night release engineering)--
494 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
495 changes in this release
497 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
498 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
499 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
502 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
503 since it is called so often by &meta
507 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
508 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
511 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
512 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
513 method for immutablization to check if the
514 destructor object even needs to be created
517 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
518 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
519 - added more descriptive error message to help
520 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
521 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
523 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
525 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
526 XS based functionality is now optional
527 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
528 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
529 can now be used to force non-XS versions
531 - several of the packages have been tweaked
532 to take care of this, mostly we added
533 support for the package_name and name
534 variables in all the Method metaclasses
535 - before/around/after method modifiers now
536 support regexp matching of names
537 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
538 - tests added for this
539 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
540 is currently not supported in roles,
541 but, ... patches welcome
542 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
543 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
544 the stack trace is usually not helpful
547 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
548 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
549 the stack trace is usually not helpful
550 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
551 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
552 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
553 - added test for this
555 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
556 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
557 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
561 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
565 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
567 - added tests for this
568 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
569 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
571 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
572 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
573 themselves parameterizable types

577 called by the inlined immutable
579 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
581 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance

584 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
586 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
587 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
591 - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was
592 causing occasional cpantester failures
593 - renamed the t/000_recipe/*.t tests to be
594 more descriptive (thanks to Sartak)
596 0.44 Sat. May 10, 2008
598 - made make_immutable warning cluck to
599 show where the error is (thanks mst)
602 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
603 ->body when looping through the
604 methods, to avoid the overloaded
606 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
607 eating the $@ values, and so not
608 working correctly, it still kind of
609 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
610 - added tests for this
612 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
613 - added new recipe for immutable
614 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)
616 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe9

622 and exclusion with Roles (thanks Dave Rolsky)
625 - fixed Win32 test failure (thanks spicyjack)

628 since Module::Install has done that.
630 0.43 Wed. April, 30, 2008
632 drink more coffee before
633 doing release engineering
635 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
636 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr
637 modules. This fixes that.
639 0.42 Mon. April 28, 2008
640 - some bad tests slipped by, nothing else
641 changed in this release (cpantesters++)
643 - upped the Class::MOP dependency to 0.55
644 since we have tests which need the C3
647 0.41 Mon. April 28, 2008
648 ~~ numerous documentation updates ~~
650 - Changed all usage of die to Carp::croak for better
651 error reporting (initial patch by Tod Hagan)

747 0.40 Fri. March 14, 2008
748 - I hate Pod::Coverage
750 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
752 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
753 that come from recently composed roles. It makes
754 sense, people are using it, and so why not just
755 officially support it.
756 - fixing the 'extends' keyword so that it will not
757 trigger Ovid's bug (http://use.perl.org/~Ovid/journal/35763)
760 - added the perl -Moose=+Class::Name feature to allow
761 monkeypatching of classes in one liners

792 from a role, it works and makes sense too.
794 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
795 - fix handles so that it doesn't return nothing
796 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
797 it ever did this originally, this means we now
798 have slightly better support for AUTOLOADed
800 - added more delegation tests
801 - adding ->does method to this so as to better
802 support traits and their introspection.
803 - added tests for this

1043 - added tests for this
1046 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
1047 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

1089 - fixed how required methods are handled
1090 when they encounter overriden or modified
1091 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
1092 - added tests for this
1094 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1095 - fixed the type notation parser so that
1096 the | always creates a union and so is
1097 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
1098 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
1100 - added more tests for this
1102 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
1105 * Parameterized Types
1106 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
1107 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
1108 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
1109 They can also be nested:
1110 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegExpr]] # an array of hashes with regexpr values
1111 And work with the type unions as well:
1112 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
1114 * Better Framework Extendability
1115 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
1116 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
1117 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
1118 section of the Moose.pm docs.
1121 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
1122 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
1123 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
1124 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

1358 - added the 'documentation' attributes
1359 so that you can actually document your
1360 attributes and inspect them through the

1364 * Moose::Meta::Class
1365 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
1366 it will first look in for the class in the
1367 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
1368 then default to just loading $name.
1369 - added tests and docs for this
1371 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1372 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
1373 - added test for this
1376 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh

1378 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
1379 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
1381 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
1382 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
1385 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
1387 - added tests to show types and subtypes
1388 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
1389 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
1392 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
1393 !! for this developer release to work !!
1395 This release was primarily adding the immutable
1396 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
1397 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
1398 as immutable it will perform various bits of
1399 memoization and inline certain part of the code
1400 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
1401 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
1402 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
1403 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
1404 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
1405 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
1407 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
1408 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
1409 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
1410 truely interested in what was changed, please do
1413 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
1414 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1415 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
1416 are have a type constraint and lazy.
1417 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
1419 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
1421 There are some speed improvements in this release,
1422 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
1425 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
1426 called unless they actually need to be.
1427 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
1428 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
1429 DEMOLISH method present.
1431 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1432 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1433 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
1434 type constraint, which allows for a
1435 hand optimized version of the type
1436 constraint to be used when possible.
1437 - Any internally created type constraints
1438 now provide an optimized version as well.
1440 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
1442 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
1443 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
1444 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
1446 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1447 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
1448 your class namespace of these exported
1451 * Moose::Meta::Class
1452 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
1453 comes up during global destruction
1455 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
1459 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
1462 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1463 - changed how we do type checks so that
1464 we reduce the overall cost, but still
1467 - moved accessor generation methods to
1468 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
1469 conform to the API changes from
1472 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1473 - changed how constraints are compiled
1474 so that we do less recursion and more
1475 iteration. This makes the type check
1477 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1480 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1481 - created this from methods formerly found in
1482 Moose::Meta::Attribute
1484 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
1485 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
1487 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1488 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
1490 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1491 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1493 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
1495 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1496 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
1497 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
1498 - added tests for this
1499 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
1500 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
1501 broke predicates in an ugly way.
1502 - removed tests for this
1504 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
1506 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
1507 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
1508 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
1511 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
1512 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
1513 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
1515 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
1516 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
1517 comments for more info.
1520 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
1521 asked questions and common problems
1523 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1524 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
1525 - added tests for this
1527 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1528 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
1529 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
1530 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
1532 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
1533 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
1536 - added basic support for runtime role composition
1537 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
1538 is much appreciated :)
1539 - added tests for this
1541 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1542 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
1543 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
1546 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1547 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
1549 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
1551 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1552 - properly capturing error when type constraint
1556 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
1557 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
1558 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
1560 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
1562 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
1565 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
1566 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
1567 keywords because we need to localize them.
1568 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
1570 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
1571 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
1572 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
1575 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
1578 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1579 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
1580 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
1583 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
1584 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
1585 - fixed tests to reflect this change
1587 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
1589 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
1590 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
1591 bottom of your class file.
1594 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
1597 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
1599 - improved error message when loading modules so
1600 it is less confusing when you load a role.
1601 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
1602 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
1605 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
1606 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
1607 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
1609 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
1610 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
1612 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
1613 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
1614 turn them on for you.
1615 - added tests for this
1616 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
1617 in Moose::Meta::Class
1620 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
1621 automatically turned on for you.

1643 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
1644 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
1645 - This release works in combination with
1646 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
1647 release because it uses the a new
1648 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
1649 complete Role implementation. It has
1650 not yet been optimized, so it slower
1651 the the previous CPAN version. This
1652 release also lacks good updated docs,
1653 the official release will have updated docs.
1656 - refactored the keyword exports
1657 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
1658 accepts more than one Role at a time
1659 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
1660 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
1663 - refactored the keyword exports
1664 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
1665 accepts more than one Role at a time
1667 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1668 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
1669 string enumerations which can be used as
1671 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
1674 - more careful checking of params to new()
1677 - much work done on the role composition
1678 - many new tests for conflict detection
1679 and composition edge cases
1680 - not enough documentation, I suggest
1681 looking at the tests
1683 * Moose::Meta::Instance
1684 - added new Instance metaclass to support
1685 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
1687 * Moose::Meta::Class
1688 - some small changes to support the new
1690 - some small additions to support Roles
1692 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1693 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
1695 - some small changes to support the new
1697 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
1698 with the 'handles' option
1699 - added several tests for this
1700 - no docs for this yet
1702 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
1704 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
1705 thanks to chansen for this commit
1706 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
1707 to support custom attribute meta-classes
1708 on a per-attribute basis
1709 - added tests for this
1710 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
1711 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
1712 experimental feature and probably not finished

1777 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
1779 - added test for this
1782 - this class can now be extended with 'use base' if
