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 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
13 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
14 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
16 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
17 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
18 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
20 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me (perigrin)
22 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
23 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
24 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
26 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
28 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
29 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
31 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
32 * Moose::Manual::Types
33 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
34 string parsing rathole (mst)
36 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
37 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
38 using plain objects instead
41 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
46 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
47 three times today (perigrin)
48 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
49 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
51 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
52 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
53 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
54 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
57 - A role's required methods are now represented by
58 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
59 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
60 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
61 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
62 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
65 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
66 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
67 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
68 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
71 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
73 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
76 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
78 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
81 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
82 during global destruction. This method has been made more
83 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
87 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
88 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
91 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
92 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
94 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
95 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
96 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
99 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
101 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
102 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
105 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
109 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
110 methods during global destruction (doy)
113 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
114 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
118 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
119 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
122 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
123 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
126 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
127 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
129 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
131 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
135 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
136 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
137 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
140 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
141 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
142 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
145 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
147 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
148 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
149 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
152 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
153 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
154 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
155 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
157 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
158 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
159 of the Moose core (Sartak)
162 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
165 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
166 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
167 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
171 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
172 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
175 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
177 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
180 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
181 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
184 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
185 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
188 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
189 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
192 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
195 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
197 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
198 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
202 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
204 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
205 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
208 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
209 * More deprecations and renamings
210 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
211 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
212 when an object is constructed)
215 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
216 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
217 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
219 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
220 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
221 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
222 feature, and it works again.
225 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
227 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
229 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
230 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
231 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
233 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
234 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
235 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
236 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
237 message. Test provided by perigrin.
239 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
240 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
241 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
242 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
243 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
246 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
247 metaclass object. (hdp)
249 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
250 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
251 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
252 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
253 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
254 point out this fact. (hdp)
256 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
257 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
259 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
260 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
263 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
264 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
265 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
266 called during instance construction were passed the
267 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
268 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
270 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
271 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
274 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
275 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
276 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
279 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
280 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
281 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
282 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
283 them, but they are not for "public" use.
286 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
288 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
289 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
290 when an object is constructed)
291 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
293 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
294 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
295 when an object is constructed)
296 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
297 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
298 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
301 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
303 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
304 * No changes from 0.72_01.
306 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
308 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
309 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
310 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
312 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
313 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
314 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
316 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
318 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
319 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
321 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
322 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
325 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
326 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
329 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
330 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
331 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
333 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
334 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
338 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
339 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
340 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
342 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
343 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
346 * Moose::Manual::Delta
347 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
348 with recommended workarounds.
350 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
351 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
353 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
354 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
355 (yes, spelled like that).
357 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
358 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
361 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
362 changes in latest Class::MOP.
364 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
366 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
367 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
368 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
369 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
370 instead. Reported by doy.
372 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
374 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
375 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
377 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
378 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
379 message) is now deprecated.
380 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
381 often got it wrong. For example:
383 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
385 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
389 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
390 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
391 bite you in weird cases.
393 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
394 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
395 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
398 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
399 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
403 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
406 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
407 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
410 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
411 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
413 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
414 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
417 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
418 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
419 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
420 - added tests for this (stevan)
422 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
423 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
424 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
425 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
429 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
430 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
431 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
432 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
434 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
435 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
436 - added tests for this (rafl)
438 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
439 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
440 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
441 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
445 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
446 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
449 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
450 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
451 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
453 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
455 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
456 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
459 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
460 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
461 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
462 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
464 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
465 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
466 error message did not specify the attribute name
469 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
471 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
473 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
474 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
475 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
477 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
478 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
481 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
483 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
484 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
485 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
486 of fixes and formatting improvements.
488 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
490 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
491 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
492 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
493 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
495 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
496 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
497 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
499 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
500 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
501 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
502 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
503 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
505 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
506 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
507 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
508 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
509 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
511 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
512 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
513 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
514 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
515 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
516 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
518 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
519 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
520 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
521 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
522 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
523 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
525 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
526 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
528 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
529 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
530 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
531 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
533 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
534 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
537 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
541 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
542 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
544 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
545 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
546 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
549 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
550 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
551 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
553 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
554 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
555 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
556 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
559 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
562 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
563 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
565 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
567 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
570 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
571 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
572 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
573 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
574 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
575 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
577 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
578 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
579 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
580 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
581 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
582 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
583 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
584 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
585 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
586 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
588 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
590 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
591 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
593 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
594 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
595 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
596 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
598 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
599 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
600 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
601 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
602 same methods for a single role did not work
603 right (worked just fine with multiple
605 - added test for this (stevan)
607 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
608 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
609 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
612 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
613 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
614 - added test for this (t0m)
617 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
618 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
619 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
621 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
622 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
623 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
624 - added test for this (t0m)
626 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
627 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
628 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
629 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
630 - added test for this (perigrin)
633 - create method for constructing a role
635 - added test for this (Sartak)
636 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
637 - added test for this (Sartak)
640 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
642 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
643 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
644 methods is useful (Sartak)
646 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
647 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
648 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
652 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
653 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
654 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
655 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
656 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
657 - added tests for this (jdv79)
660 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
661 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
663 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
664 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
665 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
666 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
667 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
669 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
671 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
672 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
673 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
676 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
677 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
678 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
679 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
680 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
681 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
684 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
685 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
686 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
687 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
688 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
689 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
690 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
691 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
692 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
693 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
694 future. (jnapiorkowski)
696 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
697 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
700 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
701 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
702 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
703 type. (jnapiorkowski)
704 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
706 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
708 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
709 predicate, and link to more details sections in
710 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
712 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
713 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
715 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
716 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
717 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
718 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
721 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
722 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
724 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
726 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
727 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
730 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
731 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
734 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
735 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
736 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
737 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
739 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
740 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
742 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
743 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
744 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
745 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
746 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
747 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
748 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
749 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
751 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
752 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
753 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
755 * Roles and role application
756 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
757 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
758 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
759 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
760 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
762 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
763 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
766 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
767 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
768 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
769 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
770 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
773 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
774 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
775 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
776 changes in the Moose internals.
778 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
779 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
780 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
783 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
784 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
785 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
786 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
788 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
789 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
790 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
791 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
793 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
794 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
795 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
796 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
797 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
798 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
799 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
800 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
801 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
802 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
803 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
804 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
805 constraint implementations.
807 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
811 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
812 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
813 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
814 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
815 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
816 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
817 - added tests for this (rafl)
820 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
821 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
822 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
823 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
824 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
825 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
826 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
827 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
830 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
831 - added tests for this (thepler)
833 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
834 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
835 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
836 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
840 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
841 * Moose::Meta::Method
844 * Moose::Error::Default
845 * Moose::Error::Croak
846 * Moose::Error::Confess
847 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
848 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
849 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
850 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
851 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
852 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
854 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
856 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
857 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
860 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
861 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
862 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
864 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
865 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
866 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
867 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
868 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
871 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
872 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
874 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
875 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
876 several major changes in this release of Moose.
877 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
880 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
882 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
883 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
885 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
890 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
891 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
893 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
895 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
896 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
897 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
898 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
899 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
900 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
902 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
903 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
904 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
906 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
907 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
908 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
911 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
912 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
913 dependency to 0.64_07.
915 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
916 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
917 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
919 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
920 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
923 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
924 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
925 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
926 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
927 coincidental exception. (t0m).
928 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
930 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
931 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
933 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
935 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
936 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
940 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
941 method when that method was provided by another role being
942 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
943 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
945 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
947 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
948 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
950 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
951 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
952 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
953 - added test for this (t0m)
955 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
956 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
957 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
959 - added test for this (t0m)
962 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
963 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
964 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
967 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
968 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
970 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
972 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
975 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
976 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
977 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
979 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
980 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
983 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
984 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
985 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
986 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
990 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
991 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
992 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
995 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
996 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
997 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
998 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1001 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1005 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1006 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1007 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1009 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1010 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1011 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are

1020 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1021 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1024 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1025 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1027 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1028 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1029 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)

1047 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1048 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1050 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1051 ... this is not my day today ...
1053 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1054 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1055 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1056 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1057 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1060 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1061 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1062 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1063 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1064 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1067 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1069 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1070 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1071 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1072 this is not ever something you want to do
1073 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1074 - added tests for this (stevan)
1077 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1079 - added test for this

1088 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
1090 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
1091 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1092 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1095 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1097 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1099 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1102 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1103 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1104 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1105 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1106 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1107 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1108 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1109 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1110 - added tests for this
1112 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1113 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1114 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1115 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
1117 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)

1182 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1183 (early morning release engineering)--
1185 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1186 which was causing the indexer to choke
1188 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1189 (late night release engineering)--
1191 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
1192 changes in this release
1194 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
1195 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1196 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
1198 * Moose::Meta::Class
1199 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
1200 since it is called so often by &meta
1202 * Moose::Meta::Class
1204 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
1205 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
1208 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1209 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
1210 method for immutablization to check if the
1211 destructor object even needs to be created
1214 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1215 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1216 - added more descriptive error message to help
1217 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
1218 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
1220 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
1222 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
1223 XS based functionality is now optional
1224 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1225 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1226 can now be used to force non-XS versions
1228 - several of the packages have been tweaked
1229 to take care of this, mostly we added
1230 support for the package_name and name
1231 variables in all the Method metaclasses
1232 - before/around/after method modifiers now
1233 support regexp matching of names
1234 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1235 - tests added for this
1236 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
1237 is currently not supported in roles,
1238 but, ... patches welcome
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
1244 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1245 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1246 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1247 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
1248 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
1249 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
1250 - added test for this
1252 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1253 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
1254 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
1257 * Moose::Meta::Class
1258 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
1262 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
1264 - added tests for this
1265 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
1266 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1268 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1269 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
1270 themselves parameterizable types
1272 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1273 - fixed bug where trigger was not being
1274 called by the inlined immutable
1276 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
1278 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
1279 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
1280 (if possible) to create the anon-class
1281 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
1283 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
1284 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
1288 - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was
1289 causing occasional cpantester failures
1290 - renamed the t/000_recipe/*.t tests to be
1291 more descriptive (thanks to Sartak)
1293 0.44 Sat. May 10, 2008
1295 - made make_immutable warning cluck to
1296 show where the error is (thanks mst)
1299 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
1300 ->body when looping through the
1301 methods, to avoid the overloaded
1303 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
1304 eating the $@ values, and so not
1305 working correctly, it still kind of
1306 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
1307 - added tests for this
1309 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
1310 - added new recipe for immutable
1311 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)
1313 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe9

1317 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
1318 - added new recipe for method aliasing
1319 and exclusion with Roles (thanks Dave Rolsky)
1322 - fixed Win32 test failure (thanks spicyjack)
1324 ~ removed Build.PL and Module::Build compat
1325 since Module::Install has done that.
1327 0.43 Wed. April, 30, 2008
1329 drink more coffee before
1330 doing release engineering
1332 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
1333 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr
1334 modules. This fixes that.
1336 0.42 Mon. April 28, 2008
1337 - some bad tests slipped by, nothing else
1338 changed in this release (cpantesters++)
1340 - upped the Class::MOP dependency to 0.55
1341 since we have tests which need the C3
1344 0.41 Mon. April 28, 2008
1345 ~~ numerous documentation updates ~~
1347 - Changed all usage of die to Carp::croak for better
1348 error reporting (initial patch by Tod Hagan)
1350 ** IMPORTANT NOTE **
1351 - the make_immutable keyword is now deprecated, don't
1352 use it in any new code and please fix your old code
1353 as well. There will be 2 releases, and then it will
1359 - refactored the way inner and super work to avoid
1360 any method/@ISA cache penalty (nothingmuch)

1364 coerced value (spotted by Charles Alderman on the
1366 - added test for this
1368 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1369 - immutable classes which had non-lazy attributes were calling
1370 the default generating sub twice in the constructor. (bug
1371 found by Jesse Luehrs, fixed by Dave Rolsky)

1384 - inherited attributes may now be extended without
1385 restriction on the type ('isa', 'does') (Sartak)
1386 - added tests for this (Sartak)
1387 - when an attribute property is malformed (such as lazy without
1388 a default), give the name of the attribute in the error
1390 - added the &applied_traits and &has_applied_traits methods
1391 to allow introspection of traits
1392 - added tests for this
1393 - moved 'trait' and 'metaclass' argument handling to here from

1401 eating $@ (found by Ernesto)
1402 - added test for this (thanks to Ernesto)
1404 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1405 - &find_type_constraint now DWIMs when given an

1447 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
1449 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
1450 that come from recently composed roles. It makes

1493 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
1494 it ever did this originally, this means we now

1497 - added more delegation tests
1498 - adding ->does method to this so as to better
1499 support traits and their introspection.

1740 - added tests for this
1743 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
1744 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

1787 when they encounter overriden or modified
1788 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
1789 - added tests for this
1791 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint

1799 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
1802 * Parameterized Types
1803 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
1804 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
1805 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
1806 They can also be nested:
1807 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
1808 And work with the type unions as well:
1809 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
1811 * Better Framework Extendability
1812 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
1813 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
1814 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
1815 section of the Moose.pm docs.
1818 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
1819 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
1820 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
1821 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

2075 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2076 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2078 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2079 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2082 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2084 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2085 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2086 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2089 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2090 !! for this developer release to work !!
2092 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2093 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2094 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2095 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2096 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2097 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2098 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2099 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2100 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2101 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2102 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2104 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2105 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2106 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2107 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2110 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2111 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2112 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2113 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2114 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2116 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2118 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2119 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2122 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2123 called unless they actually need to be.
2124 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2125 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2126 DEMOLISH method present.
2128 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2129 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2130 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2131 type constraint, which allows for a
2132 hand optimized version of the type
2133 constraint to be used when possible.
2134 - Any internally created type constraints
2135 now provide an optimized version as well.
2137 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2139 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2140 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2141 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2143 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2144 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2145 your class namespace of these exported
2148 * Moose::Meta::Class
2149 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2150 comes up during global destruction
2152 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2156 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2159 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2160 - changed how we do type checks so that
2161 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2164 - moved accessor generation methods to
2165 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2166 conform to the API changes from
2169 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2170 - changed how constraints are compiled
2171 so that we do less recursion and more
2172 iteration. This makes the type check
2174 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2177 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2178 - created this from methods formerly found in
2179 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2181 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2182 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2184 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2185 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2187 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2188 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2190 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2192 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2193 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2194 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2195 - added tests for this
2196 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2197 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2198 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2199 - removed tests for this
2201 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2203 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2204 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2205 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2208 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2209 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2210 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2212 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2213 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2214 comments for more info.
2217 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2218 asked questions and common problems
2220 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2221 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2222 - added tests for this
2224 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2225 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2226 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2227 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2229 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2230 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2233 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2234 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2235 is much appreciated :)
2236 - added tests for this
2238 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2239 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2240 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2243 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2244 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2246 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2248 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2249 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2253 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2254 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2255 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2257 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2259 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2262 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2263 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2264 keywords because we need to localize them.
2265 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2267 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2268 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2269 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2272 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2275 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2276 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2277 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2280 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2281 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2282 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2284 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2286 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2287 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2288 bottom of your class file.
2291 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2294 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2296 - improved error message when loading modules so
2297 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2298 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2299 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2302 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2303 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2304 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2306 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2307 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2309 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2310 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2311 turn them on for you.
2312 - added tests for this
2313 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2314 in Moose::Meta::Class
2317 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
2318 automatically turned on for you.

2337 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
2340 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
2341 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2342 - This release works in combination with
2343 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2344 release because it uses the a new
2345 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2346 complete Role implementation. It has
2347 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2348 the the previous CPAN version. This
2349 release also lacks good updated docs,
2350 the official release will have updated docs.
2353 - refactored the keyword exports
2354 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2355 accepts more than one Role at a time
2356 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
2357 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
2360 - refactored the keyword exports
2361 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2362 accepts more than one Role at a time
2364 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2365 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
2366 string enumerations which can be used as
2368 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2371 - more careful checking of params to new()
2374 - much work done on the role composition
2375 - many new tests for conflict detection
2376 and composition edge cases
2377 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2378 looking at the tests
2380 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2381 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2382 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
2384 * Moose::Meta::Class
2385 - some small changes to support the new
2387 - some small additions to support Roles
2389 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2390 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
2392 - some small changes to support the new
2394 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
2395 with the 'handles' option
2396 - added several tests for this
2397 - no docs for this yet
2399 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
2401 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2402 thanks to chansen for this commit
2403 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2404 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2405 on a per-attribute basis
2406 - added tests for this
2407 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2408 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
2409 experimental feature and probably not finished

2411 more details, or ask about it on #moose
2412 - added tests for this

2427 construct_instance (for the better)
2429 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2430 - due to changes in Class::MOP, we had to add the
2431 initialize_instance_slot method (it's a good thing)

2474 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
2476 - added test for this
2479 - this class can now be extended with 'use base' if
