1 Revision history for Perl extension Moose
4 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
5 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
6 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
7 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
8 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
9 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
11 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
12 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
16 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
17 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
19 * Roles and role application
20 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
21 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
22 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
23 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
24 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
26 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
27 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
30 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
31 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
32 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
33 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
34 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
37 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
38 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
39 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
40 changes in the Moose internals.
42 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
43 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
44 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
47 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
48 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
49 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
50 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
52 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
53 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
54 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
55 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
57 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
58 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
59 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
60 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
61 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
62 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
63 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
64 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
65 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
66 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
67 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
68 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
69 constraint implementations.
71 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
75 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
76 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
77 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
78 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
79 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
80 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
81 - added tests for this (rafl)
84 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
85 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
86 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
87 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
88 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
89 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
90 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
91 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
94 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
95 - added tests for this (thepler)
97 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
98 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
99 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
100 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
104 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
105 * Moose::Meta::Method
108 * Moose::Error::Default
109 * Moose::Error::Croak
110 * Moose::Error::Confess
111 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
112 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
113 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
114 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
115 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
116 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
118 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
120 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
121 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
124 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
125 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
126 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
128 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
129 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
130 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
131 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
132 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
135 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
136 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
138 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
139 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
140 several major changes in this release of Moose.
141 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
144 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
146 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
147 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
149 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
154 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
155 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.

159 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
160 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
161 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
162 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
163 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
164 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
166 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
167 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
168 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
170 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
171 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
172 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
175 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
176 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
177 dependency to 0.64_07.
179 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
180 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
181 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
183 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
184 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
187 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
188 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
189 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
190 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
191 coincidental exception. (t0m).
192 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
194 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
195 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
197 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
199 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
200 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
204 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
205 method when that method was provided by another role being
206 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
207 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
209 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
211 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
212 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
214 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor

216 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
217 - added test for this (t0m)
219 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
220 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
221 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
223 - added test for this (t0m)
226 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
227 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
228 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
231 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
232 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
234 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
236 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
239 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
240 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
241 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
243 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
244 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
247 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
248 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
249 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
250 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
254 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
255 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
256 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
259 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
260 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
261 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
262 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
265 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
269 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
270 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
271 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)

284 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
285 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
288 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
289 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
291 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
292 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
293 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
295 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1

312 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
314 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
315 ... this is not my day today ...
317 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
318 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
319 clone_and_inherit options still works for
320 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
321 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
324 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
325 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
326 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
327 in this release, except the fact that it includes
328 the changes that I didn't include in the last
331 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
333 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
334 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
335 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
336 this is not ever something you want to do
337 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
338 - added tests for this (stevan)
341 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
343 - added test for this

363 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
366 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
367 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
368 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
369 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
370 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
371 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
372 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
373 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
374 - added tests for this
376 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
377 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
378 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
379 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by

450 which was causing the indexer to choke
452 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
453 (late night release engineering)--
455 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
456 changes in this release
458 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
459 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
460 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
463 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
464 since it is called so often by &meta

469 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
472 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
473 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
474 method for immutablization to check if the
475 destructor object even needs to be created
478 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
479 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
480 - added more descriptive error message to help
481 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
482 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
484 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
486 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
487 XS based functionality is now optional
488 and a Pure Perl version is supplied

490 can now be used to force non-XS versions
492 - several of the packages have been tweaked
493 to take care of this, mostly we added

495 variables in all the Method metaclasses
496 - before/around/after method modifiers now
497 support regexp matching of names
498 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
499 - tests added for this
500 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
501 is currently not supported in roles,
502 but, ... patches welcome
503 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
504 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
505 the stack trace is usually not helpful
508 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
509 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
510 the stack trace is usually not helpful
511 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
512 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
513 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
514 - added test for this
516 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
517 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an

548 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
552 - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was
553 causing occasional cpantester failures

555 more descriptive (thanks to Sartak)
557 0.44 Sat. May 10, 2008
559 - made make_immutable warning cluck to
560 show where the error is (thanks mst)
563 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
564 ->body when looping through the
565 methods, to avoid the overloaded
567 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
568 eating the $@ values, and so not
569 working correctly, it still kind of
570 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
571 - added tests for this
573 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
574 - added new recipe for immutable
575 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)

593 drink more coffee before
594 doing release engineering
596 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,

601 - some bad tests slipped by, nothing else
602 changed in this release (cpantesters++)
604 - upped the Class::MOP dependency to 0.55

611 - Changed all usage of die to Carp::croak for better
612 error reporting (initial patch by Tod Hagan)

747 ARRAY ref instead of the $name => @values. Everything else
749 - added tests for this

753 from a role, it works and makes sense too.
755 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
756 - fix handles so that it doesn't return nothing
757 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
758 it ever did this originally, this means we now
759 have slightly better support for AUTOLOADed
761 - added more delegation tests
762 - adding ->does method to this so as to better
763 support traits and their introspection.
764 - added tests for this

1004 - added tests for this
1007 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
1008 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

1047 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
1050 - fixed how required methods are handled
1051 when they encounter overriden or modified
1052 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
1053 - added tests for this
1055 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1056 - fixed the type notation parser so that
1057 the | always creates a union and so is
1058 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
1059 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
1061 - added more tests for this
1063 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
1066 * Parameterized Types
1067 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
1068 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
1069 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
1070 They can also be nested:
1071 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegExpr]] # an array of hashes with regexpr values
1072 And work with the type unions as well:
1073 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
1075 * Better Framework Extendability
1076 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
1077 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
1078 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
1079 section of the Moose.pm docs.
1082 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
1083 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
1084 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
1085 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
1088 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
1090 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of

1244 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
1245 prototypes for functions
1246 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings

1293 so this release is just to fix that.
1296 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
1297 to create multiple attrs (see docs)

1316 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
1318 - added tests and docs for this
1319 - added the 'documentation' attributes
1320 so that you can actually document your
1321 attributes and inspect them through the
1323 - added tests and docs for this
1325 * Moose::Meta::Class
1326 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
1327 it will first look in for the class in the
1328 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
1329 then default to just loading $name.
1330 - added tests and docs for this
1332 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1333 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
1334 - added test for this
1337 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
1338 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
1339 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
1340 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
1342 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
1343 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
1346 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
1348 - added tests to show types and subtypes
1349 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
1350 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
1353 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
1354 !! for this developer release to work !!
1356 This release was primarily adding the immutable
1357 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
1358 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
1359 as immutable it will perform various bits of
1360 memoization and inline certain part of the code
1361 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
1362 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
1363 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
1364 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
1365 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
1366 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
1368 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
1369 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
1370 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
1371 truely interested in what was changed, please do
1374 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
1375 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1376 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
1377 are have a type constraint and lazy.
1378 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
1380 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
1382 There are some speed improvements in this release,
1383 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
1386 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
1387 called unless they actually need to be.
1388 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
1389 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
1390 DEMOLISH method present.
1392 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1393 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1394 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
1395 type constraint, which allows for a
1396 hand optimized version of the type
1397 constraint to be used when possible.
1398 - Any internally created type constraints
1399 now provide an optimized version as well.
1401 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
1403 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
1404 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
1405 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
1407 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1408 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
1409 your class namespace of these exported
1412 * Moose::Meta::Class
1413 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
1414 comes up during global destruction
1416 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
1420 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
1423 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1424 - changed how we do type checks so that
1425 we reduce the overall cost, but still
1428 - moved accessor generation methods to
1429 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
1430 conform to the API changes from
1433 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1434 - changed how constraints are compiled
1435 so that we do less recursion and more
1436 iteration. This makes the type check
1438 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1441 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1442 - created this from methods formerly found in
1443 Moose::Meta::Attribute
1445 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
1446 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
1448 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1449 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
1451 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1452 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1454 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
1456 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1457 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
1458 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
1459 - added tests for this
1460 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
1461 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
1462 broke predicates in an ugly way.
1463 - removed tests for this
1465 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
1467 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
1468 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
1469 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
1472 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
1473 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
1474 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
1476 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
1477 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
1478 comments for more info.
1481 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
1482 asked questions and common problems
1484 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1485 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
1486 - added tests for this
1488 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1489 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
1490 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
1491 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
1493 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
1494 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
1497 - added basic support for runtime role composition
1498 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
1499 is much appreciated :)
1500 - added tests for this
1502 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1503 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
1504 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
1507 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1508 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
1510 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
1512 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1513 - properly capturing error when type constraint
1517 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
1518 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
1519 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
1521 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
1523 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
1526 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
1527 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
1528 keywords because we need to localize them.
1529 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
1531 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
1532 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
1533 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
1536 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
1539 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1540 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
1541 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
1544 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
1545 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
1546 - fixed tests to reflect this change
1548 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
1550 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
1551 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
1552 bottom of your class file.
1555 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
1558 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
1560 - improved error message when loading modules so
1561 it is less confusing when you load a role.
1562 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
1563 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
1566 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
1567 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
1568 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
1570 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
1571 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
1573 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
1574 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
1575 turn them on for you.
1576 - added tests for this
1577 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
1578 in Moose::Meta::Class
1581 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
1582 automatically turned on for you.

1601 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
1604 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
1605 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
1606 - This release works in combination with
1607 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
1608 release because it uses the a new
1609 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
1610 complete Role implementation. It has
1611 not yet been optimized, so it slower
1612 the the previous CPAN version. This
1613 release also lacks good updated docs,
1614 the official release will have updated docs.
1617 - refactored the keyword exports
1618 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
1619 accepts more than one Role at a time
1620 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
1621 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
1624 - refactored the keyword exports
1625 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
1626 accepts more than one Role at a time
1628 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1629 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
1630 string enumerations which can be used as
1632 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
1635 - more careful checking of params to new()
1638 - much work done on the role composition
1639 - many new tests for conflict detection
1640 and composition edge cases
1641 - not enough documentation, I suggest
1642 looking at the tests
1644 * Moose::Meta::Instance
1645 - added new Instance metaclass to support
1646 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
1648 * Moose::Meta::Class
1649 - some small changes to support the new
1651 - some small additions to support Roles
1653 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1654 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
1656 - some small changes to support the new
1658 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
1659 with the 'handles' option
1660 - added several tests for this
1661 - no docs for this yet
1663 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
1665 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
1666 thanks to chansen for this commit
1667 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
1668 to support custom attribute meta-classes
1669 on a per-attribute basis
1670 - added tests for this
1671 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
1672 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
1673 experimental feature and probably not finished
1674 see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
1675 more details, or ask about it on #moose
1676 - added tests for this

1738 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
1740 - added test for this
1743 - this class can now be extended with 'use base' if
