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
15 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me (perigrin)
17 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
18 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
19 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
21 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
23 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
24 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
26 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
27 * Moose::Manual::Types
28 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
29 string parsing rathole (mst)
31 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
32 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
33 using plain objects instead
36 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
41 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
42 three times today (perigrin)
43 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
44 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
46 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
47 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
48 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
49 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
52 - A role's required methods are now represented by
53 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
54 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
55 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
56 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
57 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
60 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
61 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
62 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
63 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
66 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
68 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
71 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
73 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
76 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
77 during global destruction. This method has been made more
78 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
82 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
83 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
86 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
87 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
89 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
90 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
91 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
94 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
96 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
97 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
100 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
104 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
105 methods during global destruction (doy)
108 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
109 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
113 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
114 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
117 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
118 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
121 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
122 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
124 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
126 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
130 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
131 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
132 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
135 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
136 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
137 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
140 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
142 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
143 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
144 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
147 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
148 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
149 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
150 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
152 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
153 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
154 of the Moose core (Sartak)
157 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
160 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
161 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
162 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
166 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
167 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
170 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
172 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
175 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
176 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
179 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
180 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
183 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
184 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
187 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
190 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
192 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
193 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
197 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
199 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
200 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
203 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
204 * More deprecations and renamings
205 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
206 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
207 when an object is constructed)
210 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
211 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
212 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
214 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
215 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
216 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
217 feature, and it works again.
220 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
222 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
224 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
225 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
226 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
228 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
229 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
230 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
231 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
232 message. Test provided by perigrin.
234 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
235 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
236 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
237 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
238 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
241 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
242 metaclass object. (hdp)
244 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
245 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
246 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
247 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
248 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
249 point out this fact. (hdp)
251 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
252 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
254 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
255 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
258 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
259 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
260 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
261 called during instance construction were passed the
262 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
263 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
265 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
266 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
269 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
270 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
271 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
274 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
275 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
276 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
277 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
278 them, but they are not for "public" use.
281 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
283 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
284 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
285 when an object is constructed)
286 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
288 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
289 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
290 when an object is constructed)
291 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
292 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
293 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
296 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
298 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
299 * No changes from 0.72_01.
301 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
303 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
304 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
305 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
307 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
308 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
309 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
311 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
313 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
314 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
316 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
317 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
320 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
321 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
324 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
325 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
326 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
328 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
329 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
333 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
334 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
335 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
337 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
338 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
341 * Moose::Manual::Delta
342 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
343 with recommended workarounds.
345 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
346 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
348 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
349 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
350 (yes, spelled like that).
352 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
353 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
356 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
357 changes in latest Class::MOP.
359 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
361 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
362 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
363 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
364 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
365 instead. Reported by doy.
367 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
369 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
370 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
372 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
373 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
374 message) is now deprecated.
375 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
376 often got it wrong. For example:
378 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
380 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
384 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
385 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
386 bite you in weird cases.
388 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
389 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
390 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
393 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
394 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
398 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
401 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
402 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
405 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
406 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
408 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
409 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
412 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
413 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
414 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
415 - added tests for this (stevan)
417 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
418 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
419 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
420 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
424 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
425 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
426 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
427 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
429 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
430 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
431 - added tests for this (rafl)
433 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
434 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
435 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
436 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
440 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
441 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
444 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
445 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
446 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
448 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
450 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
451 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
454 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
455 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
456 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
457 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
459 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
460 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
461 error message did not specify the attribute name
464 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
466 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
468 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
469 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
470 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
472 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
473 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
476 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
478 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
479 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
480 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
481 of fixes and formatting improvements.
483 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
485 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
486 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
487 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
488 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
490 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
491 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
492 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
494 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
495 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
496 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
497 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
498 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
500 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
501 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
502 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
503 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
504 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
506 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
507 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
508 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
509 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
510 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
511 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
513 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
514 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
515 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
516 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
517 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
518 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
520 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
521 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
523 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
524 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
525 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
526 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
528 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
529 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
532 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
536 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
537 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
539 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
540 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
541 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
544 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
545 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
546 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
548 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
549 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
550 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
551 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
554 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
557 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
558 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
560 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
562 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
565 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
566 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
567 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
568 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
569 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
570 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
572 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
573 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
574 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
575 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
576 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
577 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
578 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
579 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
580 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
581 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
583 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
585 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
586 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
588 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
589 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
590 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
591 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
593 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
594 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
595 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
596 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
597 same methods for a single role did not work
598 right (worked just fine with multiple
600 - added test for this (stevan)
602 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
603 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
604 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
607 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
608 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
609 - added test for this (t0m)
612 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
613 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
614 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
616 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
617 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
618 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
619 - added test for this (t0m)
621 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
622 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
623 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
624 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
625 - added test for this (perigrin)
628 - create method for constructing a role
630 - added test for this (Sartak)
631 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
632 - added test for this (Sartak)
635 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
637 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
638 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
639 methods is useful (Sartak)
641 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
642 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
643 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
647 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
648 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
649 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
650 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
651 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
652 - added tests for this (jdv79)
655 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
656 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
658 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
659 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
660 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
661 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
662 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
664 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
666 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
667 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
668 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
671 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
672 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
673 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
674 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
675 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
676 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
679 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
680 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
681 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
682 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
683 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
684 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
685 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
686 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
687 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
688 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
689 future. (jnapiorkowski)
691 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
692 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
695 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
696 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
697 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
698 type. (jnapiorkowski)
699 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
701 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
703 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
704 predicate, and link to more details sections in
705 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
707 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
708 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
710 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
711 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
712 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
713 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
716 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
717 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
719 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
721 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
722 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
725 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
726 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
729 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
730 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
731 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
732 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
734 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
735 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
737 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
738 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
739 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
740 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
741 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
742 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
743 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
744 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
746 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
747 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
748 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
750 * Roles and role application
751 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
752 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
753 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
754 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
755 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
757 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
758 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
761 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
762 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
763 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
764 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
765 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
768 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
769 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
770 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
771 changes in the Moose internals.
773 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
774 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
775 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
778 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
779 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
780 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
781 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
783 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
784 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
785 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
786 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
788 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
789 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
790 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
791 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
792 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
793 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
794 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
795 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
796 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
797 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
798 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
799 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
800 constraint implementations.
802 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
806 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
807 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
808 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
809 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
810 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
811 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
812 - added tests for this (rafl)
815 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
816 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
817 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
818 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
819 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
820 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
821 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
822 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
825 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
826 - added tests for this (thepler)
828 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
829 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
830 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
831 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
835 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
836 * Moose::Meta::Method
839 * Moose::Error::Default
840 * Moose::Error::Croak
841 * Moose::Error::Confess
842 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
843 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
844 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
845 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
846 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
847 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
849 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
851 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
852 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
855 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
856 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
857 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
859 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
860 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
861 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
862 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
863 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
866 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
867 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
869 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
870 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
871 several major changes in this release of Moose.
872 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
875 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
877 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
878 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
880 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
885 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
886 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.

890 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
891 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
892 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
893 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
894 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
895 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
897 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
898 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
899 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
901 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
902 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
903 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
906 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
907 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
908 dependency to 0.64_07.
910 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
911 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
912 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
914 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
915 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
918 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
919 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
920 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
921 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
922 coincidental exception. (t0m).
923 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
925 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
926 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
928 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
930 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
931 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
935 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
936 method when that method was provided by another role being
937 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
938 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
940 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
942 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
943 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
945 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
946 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
947 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
948 - added test for this (t0m)
950 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
951 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
952 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
954 - added test for this (t0m)
957 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
958 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
959 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
962 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
963 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
965 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
967 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
970 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
971 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
972 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
974 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
975 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
978 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
979 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
980 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
981 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
985 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
986 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
987 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
990 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
991 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
992 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
993 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
996 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1000 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1001 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1002 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1004 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1005 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1006 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are

1016 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1019 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1020 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1022 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1023 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1024 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)

1043 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1045 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1046 ... this is not my day today ...
1048 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1049 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1050 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1051 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1052 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1055 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1056 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1057 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1058 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1059 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1062 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1064 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1065 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1066 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1067 this is not ever something you want to do
1068 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1069 - added tests for this (stevan)
1072 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1074 - added test for this

1083 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
1085 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
1086 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1087 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1090 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1092 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1094 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1097 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1098 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1099 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1100 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1101 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1102 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1103 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1104 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1105 - added tests for this
1107 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1108 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1109 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1110 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
1112 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)

1146 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
1147 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
1148 Moose attributes which is "Moose"

1177 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1178 (early morning release engineering)--
1180 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1181 which was causing the indexer to choke
1183 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1184 (late night release engineering)--
1186 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
1187 changes in this release
1189 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
1190 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1191 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
1193 * Moose::Meta::Class
1194 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
1195 since it is called so often by &meta
1197 * Moose::Meta::Class
1199 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
1200 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
1203 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1204 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
1205 method for immutablization to check if the
1206 destructor object even needs to be created
1209 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1210 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1211 - added more descriptive error message to help
1212 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
1213 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
1215 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
1217 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
1218 XS based functionality is now optional
1219 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1220 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1221 can now be used to force non-XS versions
1223 - several of the packages have been tweaked
1224 to take care of this, mostly we added
1225 support for the package_name and name
1226 variables in all the Method metaclasses
1227 - before/around/after method modifiers now
1228 support regexp matching of names
1229 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1230 - tests added for this
1231 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
1232 is currently not supported in roles,
1233 but, ... patches welcome
1234 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1235 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1236 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1239 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1240 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1241 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1242 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
1243 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
1244 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
1245 - added test for this
1247 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1248 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
1249 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
1252 * Moose::Meta::Class
1253 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
1257 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
1259 - added tests for this
1260 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
1261 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1263 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1264 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
1265 themselves parameterizable types
1267 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1268 - fixed bug where trigger was not being
1269 called by the inlined immutable
1271 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
1273 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
1274 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
1275 (if possible) to create the anon-class
1276 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
1278 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
1279 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
1283 - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was
1284 causing occasional cpantester failures
1285 - renamed the t/000_recipe/*.t tests to be
1286 more descriptive (thanks to Sartak)
1288 0.44 Sat. May 10, 2008
1290 - made make_immutable warning cluck to
1291 show where the error is (thanks mst)
1294 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
1295 ->body when looping through the
1296 methods, to avoid the overloaded
1298 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
1299 eating the $@ values, and so not
1300 working correctly, it still kind of
1301 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
1302 - added tests for this
1304 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
1305 - added new recipe for immutable
1306 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)
1308 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe9

1312 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
1313 - added new recipe for method aliasing
1314 and exclusion with Roles (thanks Dave Rolsky)
1317 - fixed Win32 test failure (thanks spicyjack)
1319 ~ removed Build.PL and Module::Build compat
1320 since Module::Install has done that.
1322 0.43 Wed. April, 30, 2008
1324 drink more coffee before
1325 doing release engineering
1327 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
1328 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr
1329 modules. This fixes that.
1331 0.42 Mon. April 28, 2008
1332 - some bad tests slipped by, nothing else
1333 changed in this release (cpantesters++)
1335 - upped the Class::MOP dependency to 0.55
1336 since we have tests which need the C3
1339 0.41 Mon. April 28, 2008
1340 ~~ numerous documentation updates ~~
1342 - Changed all usage of die to Carp::croak for better
1343 error reporting (initial patch by Tod Hagan)
1345 ** IMPORTANT NOTE **
1346 - the make_immutable keyword is now deprecated, don't
1347 use it in any new code and please fix your old code
1348 as well. There will be 2 releases, and then it will
1354 - refactored the way inner and super work to avoid
1355 any method/@ISA cache penalty (nothingmuch)

1361 - added test for this
1363 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor

1379 - inherited attributes may now be extended without
1380 restriction on the type ('isa', 'does') (Sartak)

1383 a default), give the name of the attribute in the error
1385 - added the &applied_traits and &has_applied_traits methods
1386 to allow introspection of traits
1387 - added tests for this
1388 - moved 'trait' and 'metaclass' argument handling to here from

1442 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
1444 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
1445 that come from recently composed roles. It makes
1446 sense, people are using it, and so why not just

1488 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
1489 it ever did this originally, this means we now
1490 have slightly better support for AUTOLOADed
1492 - added more delegation tests
1493 - adding ->does method to this so as to better
1494 support traits and their introspection.
1495 - added tests for this

1735 - added tests for this
1738 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
1739 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

1778 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
1781 - fixed how required methods are handled
1782 when they encounter overriden or modified
1783 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
1784 - added tests for this
1786 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1787 - fixed the type notation parser so that
1788 the | always creates a union and so is
1789 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
1790 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
1792 - added more tests for this
1794 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
1797 * Parameterized Types
1798 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
1799 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
1800 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
1801 They can also be nested:
1802 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
1803 And work with the type unions as well:
1804 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
1806 * Better Framework Extendability
1807 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
1808 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
1809 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
1810 section of the Moose.pm docs.
1813 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
1814 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
1815 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
1816 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

2080 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2081 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2084 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2085 !! for this developer release to work !!
2087 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2088 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2089 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2090 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2091 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2092 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2093 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2094 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2095 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2096 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2097 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2099 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2100 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2101 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2102 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2105 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2106 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2107 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2108 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2109 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2111 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2113 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2114 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2117 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2118 called unless they actually need to be.
2119 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2120 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2121 DEMOLISH method present.
2123 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2124 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2125 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2126 type constraint, which allows for a
2127 hand optimized version of the type
2128 constraint to be used when possible.
2129 - Any internally created type constraints
2130 now provide an optimized version as well.
2132 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2134 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2135 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2136 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2138 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2139 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2140 your class namespace of these exported
2143 * Moose::Meta::Class
2144 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2145 comes up during global destruction
2147 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2151 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2154 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2155 - changed how we do type checks so that
2156 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2159 - moved accessor generation methods to
2160 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2161 conform to the API changes from
2164 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2165 - changed how constraints are compiled
2166 so that we do less recursion and more
2167 iteration. This makes the type check
2169 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2172 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2173 - created this from methods formerly found in
2174 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2176 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2177 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2179 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2180 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2182 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2183 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2185 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2187 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2188 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2189 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2190 - added tests for this
2191 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2192 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2193 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2194 - removed tests for this
2196 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2198 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2199 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2200 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2203 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2204 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2205 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2207 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2208 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2209 comments for more info.
2212 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2213 asked questions and common problems
2215 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2216 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2217 - added tests for this
2219 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2220 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2221 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2222 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2224 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2225 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2228 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2229 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2230 is much appreciated :)
2231 - added tests for this
2233 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2234 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2235 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2238 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2239 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2241 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2243 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2244 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2248 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2249 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2250 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2252 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2254 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2257 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2258 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2259 keywords because we need to localize them.
2260 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2262 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2263 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2264 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2267 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2270 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2271 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2272 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2275 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2276 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2277 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2279 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2281 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2282 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2283 bottom of your class file.
2286 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2289 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2291 - improved error message when loading modules so
2292 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2293 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2294 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2297 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2298 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2299 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2301 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2302 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2304 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2305 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2306 turn them on for you.
2307 - added tests for this
2308 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2309 in Moose::Meta::Class
2312 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
2313 automatically turned on for you.

2332 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
2335 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
2336 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2337 - This release works in combination with
2338 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2339 release because it uses the a new
2340 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2341 complete Role implementation. It has
2342 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2343 the the previous CPAN version. This
2344 release also lacks good updated docs,
2345 the official release will have updated docs.
2348 - refactored the keyword exports
2349 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2350 accepts more than one Role at a time
2351 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
2352 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
2355 - refactored the keyword exports
2356 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2357 accepts more than one Role at a time
2359 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2360 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
2361 string enumerations which can be used as
2363 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2366 - more careful checking of params to new()
2369 - much work done on the role composition
2370 - many new tests for conflict detection
2371 and composition edge cases
2372 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2373 looking at the tests
2375 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2376 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2377 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
2379 * Moose::Meta::Class
2380 - some small changes to support the new
2382 - some small additions to support Roles
2384 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2385 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
2387 - some small changes to support the new
2389 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
2390 with the 'handles' option
2391 - added several tests for this
2392 - no docs for this yet
2394 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
2396 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2397 thanks to chansen for this commit
2398 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2399 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2400 on a per-attribute basis
2401 - added tests for this
2402 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2403 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
2404 experimental feature and probably not finished
2405 see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
2406 more details, or ask about it on #moose
2407 - added tests for this
2410 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter

2422 construct_instance (for the better)
2424 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

2469 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
2471 - added test for this
2474 - this class can now be extended with 'use base' if
2475 you need it, it properly loads the metaclass class now
