1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
9 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
10 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
12 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
16 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
17 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
21 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
22 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
23 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
25 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
26 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
27 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
29 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
33 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
35 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
39 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
41 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
42 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
47 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
48 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
50 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
51 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
52 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
53 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
56 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
57 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
58 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
59 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
61 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
65 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
66 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
71 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
73 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
75 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
80 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
82 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
86 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
87 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
88 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
90 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
91 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
92 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
93 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
95 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
96 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
97 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
98 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
99 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
102 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
107 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
108 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
109 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
110 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
111 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
114 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
118 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
121 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
122 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
126 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
127 function (not just method). (doy)
131 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
132 and aren't easily installable/testable.
134 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
138 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
139 to be overridden more easily (doy).
141 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
145 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
146 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
148 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
152 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
153 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
154 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
156 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
160 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
161 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
162 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
164 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
165 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
169 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
170 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
172 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
173 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
177 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
178 is applied to a class (t0m).
180 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
181 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
183 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
186 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
187 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
189 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
190 be much more robust. (doy)
192 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
194 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
197 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
201 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
202 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
204 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
208 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
209 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
211 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
214 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
215 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
216 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
218 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
219 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
220 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
223 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
225 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
229 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
230 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
234 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
236 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
240 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
241 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
245 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
246 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
250 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
252 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
256 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
257 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
261 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
262 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
266 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
267 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
269 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
273 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
274 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
275 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
278 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
282 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
283 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
284 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
285 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
287 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
291 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
292 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
293 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
297 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
300 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
304 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
305 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
306 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
310 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
311 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
313 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
314 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
315 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
316 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
318 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
322 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
326 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
327 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
329 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
330 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
331 - Moose::Util::does_role
332 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
333 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
334 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
336 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
340 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
341 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
342 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
345 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
349 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
350 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
353 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
357 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
358 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
361 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
365 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
367 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
368 class. (Dave Rolsky).
370 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
371 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
372 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
374 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
375 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
376 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
379 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
380 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. Dave Rolsky>
382 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
383 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
384 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
386 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
388 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
389 substr et al, again. (sorear)
391 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
393 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
396 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
397 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
399 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
400 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
402 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
403 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
404 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
405 dependencies installed.
407 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
408 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
411 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
413 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
417 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
419 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
420 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
421 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
423 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
424 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
425 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
427 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
428 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
431 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
432 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
433 others. (nothingmuch)
435 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
436 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
437 remove_accessors. (doy)
439 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
440 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
441 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
443 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
444 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
446 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
447 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
448 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
449 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
452 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
453 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
455 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
456 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
458 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
460 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
461 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
464 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
465 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
466 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
467 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
468 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
470 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
471 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
472 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
473 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
474 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
475 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
476 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
479 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
480 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
481 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
482 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
483 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
485 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
486 which were not receiving the value of
487 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
488 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
489 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
490 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
494 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
495 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
496 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
497 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
498 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
501 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
502 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
503 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
504 - added tests for this (Stevan)
507 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
508 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
509 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
512 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
513 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
514 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
516 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
517 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
518 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
521 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
522 class if you pass it options for
523 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
524 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
525 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
526 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
527 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
528 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
529 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
530 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
531 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
533 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
534 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
535 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
536 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
537 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
540 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
541 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
542 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
543 existing delegation API. (hdp)
545 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
546 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
547 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
548 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
549 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
550 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
553 * Moose::Error::Croak
554 * Moose::Error::Confess
555 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
556 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
559 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
562 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
563 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
564 installing a broken sub. (doy)
567 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
570 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
571 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
572 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
574 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
575 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
576 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
577 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
578 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
580 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
581 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
584 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
586 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
587 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
590 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
591 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
593 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
594 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
595 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
596 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
598 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
599 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
600 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
601 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
602 using it for new code!
604 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
605 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
606 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
607 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
609 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
610 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
611 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
612 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
613 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
614 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
615 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
616 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
619 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
622 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
623 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
626 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
627 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
629 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
630 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
631 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
634 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
635 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
636 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
639 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
640 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
642 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
643 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
644 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
647 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
648 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
649 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
650 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
651 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
652 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
654 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
656 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
659 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
660 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
661 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
663 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
664 associated_methods. (hdp)
665 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
666 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
667 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
668 misspelled) arguments
670 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
671 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
672 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
673 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
675 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
676 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
677 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
679 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
682 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
683 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
684 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
687 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
688 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
690 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
692 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
693 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
695 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
696 * Moose::Manual::Types
697 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
698 string parsing rathole (mst)
700 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
701 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
702 using plain objects instead
704 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
705 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
708 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
710 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
711 three times today (perigrin)
712 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
713 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
715 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
716 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
717 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
718 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
721 - A role's required methods are now represented by
722 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
723 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
724 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
725 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
726 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
729 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
730 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
731 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
732 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
735 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
737 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
740 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
742 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
745 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
746 during global destruction. This method has been made more
747 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
751 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
752 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
755 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
756 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
758 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
759 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
760 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
763 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
765 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
766 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
769 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
773 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
774 methods during global destruction (doy)
777 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
778 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
782 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
783 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
786 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
787 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
790 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
791 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
793 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
795 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
799 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
800 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
801 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
804 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
805 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
806 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
809 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
811 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
812 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
813 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
816 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
817 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
818 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
819 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
821 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
822 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
823 of the Moose core (Sartak)
826 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
829 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
830 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
831 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
835 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
836 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
839 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
841 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
844 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
845 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
848 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
849 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
852 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
853 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
856 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
859 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
861 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
862 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
866 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
868 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
869 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
872 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
873 * More deprecations and renamings
874 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
875 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
876 when an object is constructed)
879 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
880 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
881 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
883 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
884 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
885 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
886 feature, and it works again.
889 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
891 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
893 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
894 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
895 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
897 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
898 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
899 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
900 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
901 message. Test provided by perigrin.
903 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
904 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
905 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
906 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
907 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
910 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
911 metaclass object. (hdp)
913 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
914 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
915 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
916 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
917 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
918 point out this fact. (hdp)
920 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
921 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
923 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
924 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
927 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
928 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
929 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
930 called during instance construction were passed the
931 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
932 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
934 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
935 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
938 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
939 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
940 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
943 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
944 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
945 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
946 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
947 them, but they are not for "public" use.
950 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
952 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
953 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
954 when an object is constructed)
955 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
957 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
958 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
959 when an object is constructed)
960 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
961 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
962 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
965 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
967 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
968 * No changes from 0.72_01.
970 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
972 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
973 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
974 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
976 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
977 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
978 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
980 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
982 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
983 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
985 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
986 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
989 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
990 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
993 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
994 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
995 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
997 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
998 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1002 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1003 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1004 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1006 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1007 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1010 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1011 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1012 with recommended workarounds.
1014 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1015 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1017 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1018 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1019 (yes, spelled like that).
1021 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1022 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1024 * Moose::Meta::Class
1025 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1026 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1028 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1030 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1031 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1032 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1033 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1034 instead. Reported by doy.
1036 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1038 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1039 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1041 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1042 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1043 message) is now deprecated.
1044 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1045 often got it wrong. For example:
1047 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1049 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1053 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1054 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1055 bite you in weird cases.
1057 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1058 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1059 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1060 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1062 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1063 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1067 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1070 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1071 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1074 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1075 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1077 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1078 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1081 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1082 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1083 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1084 - added tests for this (stevan)
1086 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1087 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1088 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1089 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1093 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1094 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1095 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1096 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1098 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1099 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1100 - added tests for this (rafl)
1102 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1103 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1104 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1105 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1109 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1110 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1113 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1114 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1115 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1117 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1119 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1120 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1122 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1123 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1124 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1125 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1126 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1128 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1129 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1130 error message did not specify the attribute name
1133 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1135 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1137 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1138 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1139 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1141 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1142 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1145 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1147 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1148 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1149 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1150 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1152 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1154 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1155 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1156 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1157 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1159 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1160 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1161 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1163 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1164 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1165 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1166 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1167 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1169 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1170 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1171 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1172 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1173 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1175 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1176 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1177 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1178 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1179 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1180 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1182 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
1183 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1184 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1185 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1186 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1187 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1189 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1190 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1192 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1193 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1194 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1195 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1197 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1198 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1201 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1205 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1206 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1208 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1209 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1210 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1211 guts. (nothingmuch).
1213 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1214 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1215 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1217 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1218 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1219 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1220 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1222 * Moose::Meta::Class
1223 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1226 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1227 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1229 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1230 * Moose::Unsweetened
1231 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1234 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1235 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1236 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1237 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1238 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1239 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1241 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1242 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1243 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1244 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1245 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1246 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1247 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1248 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1249 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1250 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1252 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1254 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1255 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1257 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1258 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1259 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1260 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1262 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1263 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1264 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1265 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1266 same methods for a single role did not work
1267 right (worked just fine with multiple
1269 - added test for this (stevan)
1271 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1272 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1273 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1276 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1277 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1278 - added test for this (t0m)
1281 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1282 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1283 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1285 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1286 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1287 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1288 - added test for this (t0m)
1290 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1291 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1292 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1293 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1294 - added test for this (perigrin)
1297 - create method for constructing a role
1298 dynamically (Sartak)
1299 - added test for this (Sartak)
1300 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1301 - added test for this (Sartak)
1304 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1306 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1307 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1308 methods is useful (Sartak)
1310 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1311 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1312 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1315 * Moose::Meta::Class
1316 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1317 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1318 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1319 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1320 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1321 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1324 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1325 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1327 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1328 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1329 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1330 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1331 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1333 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1335 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1336 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1337 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1340 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1341 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1342 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1343 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1344 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1345 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1348 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1349 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1350 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1351 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1352 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1353 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1354 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1355 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1356 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1357 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1358 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1360 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1361 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1364 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1365 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1366 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1367 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1368 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1370 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1372 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1373 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1374 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1376 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1377 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1379 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1380 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1381 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1382 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1385 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1386 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1388 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1390 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1391 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1393 * Moose::Meta::Class
1394 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1395 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1396 a required attribute
1398 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1399 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1400 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1401 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1403 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1404 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1406 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1407 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1408 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1409 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1410 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1411 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1412 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1413 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1415 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1416 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1417 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1419 * Roles and role application
1420 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1421 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1422 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1423 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1424 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1426 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1427 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1430 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1431 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1432 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1433 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1434 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1437 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1438 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1439 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1440 changes in the Moose internals.
1442 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1443 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1444 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1447 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1448 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1449 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1450 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1452 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1453 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1454 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1455 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1457 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1458 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1459 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1460 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1461 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1462 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1463 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1464 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1465 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1466 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1467 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1468 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1469 constraint implementations.
1471 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1475 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1476 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1477 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1478 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1479 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1480 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1481 - added tests for this (rafl)
1483 * Moose::Meta::Class
1484 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1485 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1486 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1487 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1488 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1489 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1490 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1491 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1494 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1495 - added tests for this (thepler)
1497 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1498 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1499 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1500 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1503 * Moose::Meta::Class
1504 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1505 * Moose::Meta::Method
1508 * Moose::Error::Default
1509 * Moose::Error::Croak
1510 * Moose::Error::Confess
1511 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1512 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1513 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1514 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1515 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1516 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1518 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1520 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1521 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1523 * Moose::Unsweetened
1524 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1525 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1526 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1528 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1529 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1530 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1531 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1532 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1535 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1536 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1538 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1539 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1540 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1541 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1544 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1546 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1547 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1549 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1552 - Various bug fixes.
1554 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1555 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1557 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1559 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1560 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1561 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1562 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1563 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1564 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1566 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1567 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1568 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1570 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1571 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4

1575 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1576 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1577 dependency to 0.64_07.
1579 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1580 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1581 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1583 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1584 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1587 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1588 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1589 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1590 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1591 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1592 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1594 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1595 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1597 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1599 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1600 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1604 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1605 method when that method was provided by another role being
1606 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1607 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1609 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008

1612 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1614 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1615 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1616 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1617 - added test for this (t0m)
1619 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1620 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1621 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1623 - added test for this (t0m)
1626 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1627 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1628 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1631 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1632 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1634 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1636 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1637 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1639 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1640 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1641 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1643 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1644 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1647 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1648 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1649 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1650 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1654 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1655 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1656 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1659 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1660 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1661 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1662 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1665 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1669 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1670 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1671 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1673 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1674 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1675 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1676 created so that the process can be more easily

1689 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1691 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10

1693 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
1695 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
1696 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
1697 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1699 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4

1702 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1703 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
1706 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1707 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1711 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1712 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1714 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1715 ... this is not my day today ...
1717 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1718 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1719 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1720 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1721 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1724 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1725 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1726 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1727 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1728 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1731 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1733 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1734 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1735 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1736 this is not ever something you want to do
1737 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1738 - added tests for this (stevan)
1741 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1743 - added test for this
1745 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1746 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
1747 - added tests for this (wreis)
1749 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
1750 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
1751 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
1752 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
1754 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
1755 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1756 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1759 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1761 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1763 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1766 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1767 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1768 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1769 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1770 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1771 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1772 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1773 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1774 - added tests for this
1776 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1777 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1778 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1779 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
1781 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)

1797 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1798 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
1800 - Some null_constraint optimizations
1802 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008

1836 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
1837 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
1839 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1840 - move the ClassName type check code to
1841 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
1843 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
1844 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
1846 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1847 (early morning release engineering)--
1849 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1850 which was causing the indexer to choke
1852 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1853 (late night release engineering)--
1855 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
1856 changes in this release
1858 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
1859 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1860 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!

1864 since it is called so often by &meta
1866 * Moose::Meta::Class
1868 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
1869 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
1872 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1873 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
1874 method for immutablization to check if the
1875 destructor object even needs to be created
1878 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1879 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1880 - added more descriptive error message to help
1881 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
1882 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
1884 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
1886 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
1887 XS based functionality is now optional
1888 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1889 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1890 can now be used to force non-XS versions
1892 - several of the packages have been tweaked
1893 to take care of this, mostly we added
1894 support for the package_name and name
1895 variables in all the Method metaclasses
1896 - before/around/after method modifiers now
1897 support regexp matching of names
1898 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1899 - tests added for this
1900 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
1901 is currently not supported in roles,
1902 but, ... patches welcome
1903 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1904 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1905 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1908 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1909 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1910 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1911 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
1912 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
1913 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
1914 - added test for this
1916 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1917 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
1918 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
1921 * Moose::Meta::Class
1922 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
1926 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
1928 - added tests for this
1929 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
1930 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1932 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1933 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
1934 themselves parameterizable types
1936 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1937 - fixed bug where trigger was not being
1938 called by the inlined immutable
1940 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
1942 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
1943 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
1944 (if possible) to create the anon-class
1945 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
1947 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
1948 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
1952 - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was
1953 causing occasional cpantester failures

1959 - made make_immutable warning cluck to
1960 show where the error is (thanks mst)
1963 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
1964 ->body when looping through the
1965 methods, to avoid the overloaded
1967 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
1968 eating the $@ values, and so not
1969 working correctly, it still kind of
1970 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
1971 - added tests for this
1973 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
1974 - added new recipe for immutable
1975 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)
1977 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe9
1978 - added new recipe for builder and
1979 lazy_build (thanks Dave Rolsky)

1983 and exclusion with Roles (thanks Dave Rolsky)
1986 - fixed Win32 test failure (thanks spicyjack)
1988 ~ removed Build.PL and Module::Build compat
1989 since Module::Install has done that.
1991 0.43 Wed. April, 30, 2008
1993 drink more coffee before
1994 doing release engineering
1996 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
1997 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr
1998 modules. This fixes that.
2000 0.42 Mon. April 28, 2008
2001 - some bad tests slipped by, nothing else
2002 changed in this release (cpantesters++)
2004 - upped the Class::MOP dependency to 0.55

2011 - Changed all usage of die to Carp::croak for better
2012 error reporting (initial patch by Tod Hagan)
2014 ** IMPORTANT NOTE **
2015 - the make_immutable keyword is now deprecated, don't
2016 use it in any new code and please fix your old code
2017 as well. There will be 2 releases, and then it will
2023 - refactored the way inner and super work to avoid
2024 any method/@ISA cache penalty (nothingmuch)
2026 * Moose::Meta::Class

2028 coerced value (spotted by Charles Alderman on the
2030 - added test for this
2032 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2033 - immutable classes which had non-lazy attributes were calling
2034 the default generating sub twice in the constructor. (bug
2035 found by Jesse Luehrs, fixed by Dave Rolsky)
2036 - added tests for this (Dave Rolsky)
2037 - fix typo in initialize_body method (nothingmuch)

2048 - inherited attributes may now be extended without
2049 restriction on the type ('isa', 'does') (Sartak)
2050 - added tests for this (Sartak)
2051 - when an attribute property is malformed (such as lazy without
2052 a default), give the name of the attribute in the error
2054 - added the &applied_traits and &has_applied_traits methods
2055 to allow introspection of traits
2056 - added tests for this
2057 - moved 'trait' and 'metaclass' argument handling to here from
2059 - clone_and_inherit_options now handles 'trait' and 'metaclass' (has
2060 '+foo' syntax) (nothingmuch)

2064 - localize $@ inside DEMOLISHALL to avoid it
2065 eating $@ (found by Ernesto)
2066 - added test for this (thanks to Ernesto)
2068 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints

2111 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2113 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
2114 that come from recently composed roles. It makes

2157 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
2158 it ever did this originally, this means we now

2404 - added tests for this
2407 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2408 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

2450 - fixed how required methods are handled
2451 when they encounter overriden or modified
2452 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2453 - added tests for this
2455 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint

2463 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2466 * Parameterized Types
2467 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2468 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2469 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2470 They can also be nested:
2471 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2472 And work with the type unions as well:
2473 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2475 * Better Framework Extendability
2476 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2477 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2478 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2479 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2482 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2483 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2484 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2485 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

2739 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2740 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2742 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2743 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2746 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2748 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2749 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2750 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2753 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2754 !! for this developer release to work !!
2756 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2757 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2758 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2759 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2760 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2761 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2762 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2763 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2764 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2765 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2766 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2768 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2769 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2770 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2771 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2774 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2775 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2776 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2777 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2778 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2780 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2782 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2783 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2786 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2787 called unless they actually need to be.
2788 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2789 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2790 DEMOLISH method present.
2792 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2793 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2794 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2795 type constraint, which allows for a
2796 hand optimized version of the type
2797 constraint to be used when possible.
2798 - Any internally created type constraints
2799 now provide an optimized version as well.
2801 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2803 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2804 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2805 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2807 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2808 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2809 your class namespace of these exported
2812 * Moose::Meta::Class
2813 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2814 comes up during global destruction
2816 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2820 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2823 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2824 - changed how we do type checks so that
2825 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2828 - moved accessor generation methods to
2829 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2830 conform to the API changes from
2833 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2834 - changed how constraints are compiled
2835 so that we do less recursion and more
2836 iteration. This makes the type check
2838 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2841 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2842 - created this from methods formerly found in
2843 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2845 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2846 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2848 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2849 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2851 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2852 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2854 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2856 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2857 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2858 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2859 - added tests for this
2860 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2861 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2862 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2863 - removed tests for this
2865 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2867 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2868 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2869 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2872 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2873 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2874 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2876 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2877 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2878 comments for more info.
2881 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2882 asked questions and common problems
2884 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2885 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2886 - added tests for this
2888 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2889 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2890 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2891 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2893 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2894 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2897 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2898 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2899 is much appreciated :)
2900 - added tests for this
2902 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2903 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2904 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2907 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2908 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2910 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2912 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2913 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2917 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2918 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2919 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2921 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2923 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2926 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2927 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2928 keywords because we need to localize them.
2929 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2931 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2932 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2933 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2936 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2939 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2940 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2941 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2944 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2945 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2946 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2948 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2950 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2951 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2952 bottom of your class file.
2955 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2958 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2960 - improved error message when loading modules so
2961 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2962 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2963 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2966 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2967 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2968 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2970 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2971 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2973 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2974 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2975 turn them on for you.
2976 - added tests for this
2977 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2978 in Moose::Meta::Class
2981 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
2982 automatically turned on for you.

3001 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
3004 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
3005 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3006 - This release works in combination with
3007 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3008 release because it uses the a new
3009 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3010 complete Role implementation. It has
3011 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3012 the the previous CPAN version. This
3013 release also lacks good updated docs,
3014 the official release will have updated docs.
3017 - refactored the keyword exports
3018 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3019 accepts more than one Role at a time
3020 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3021 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3024 - refactored the keyword exports
3025 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3026 accepts more than one Role at a time
3028 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3029 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3030 string enumerations which can be used as
3032 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3035 - more careful checking of params to new()
3038 - much work done on the role composition
3039 - many new tests for conflict detection
3040 and composition edge cases
3041 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3042 looking at the tests
3044 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3045 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3046 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3048 * Moose::Meta::Class
3049 - some small changes to support the new
3051 - some small additions to support Roles
3053 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3054 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3056 - some small changes to support the new
3058 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3059 with the 'handles' option
3060 - added several tests for this
3061 - no docs for this yet
3063 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
3065 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3066 thanks to chansen for this commit
3067 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3068 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3069 on a per-attribute basis
3070 - added tests for this
3071 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3072 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3073 experimental feature and probably not finished

3075 more details, or ask about it on #moose
3076 - added tests for this

3138 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
3140 - added test for this
3143 - this class can now be extended with 'use base' if
