1 Revision history for Perl extension Moose
4 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
5 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
9 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
10 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
12 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
13 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
14 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
15 - added test for this (t0m)
17 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
18 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
19 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
21 - added test for this (t0m)
24 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
25 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
26 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
29 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
30 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
32 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
34 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
37 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
38 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
39 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
41 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
42 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
45 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
46 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
47 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
48 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
52 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
53 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
54 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
57 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
58 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
59 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
60 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
63 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
67 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
68 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
69 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
71 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
72 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
73 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
74 created so that the process can be more easily
75 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
77 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
78 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
79 the type constraints (RT #37569)
80 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
82 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
83 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
86 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
87 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
89 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
90 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
91 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
93 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
94 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
95 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
97 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
98 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
100 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
101 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
104 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
105 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
109 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
110 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
112 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
113 ... this is not my day today ...
115 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
116 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
117 clone_and_inherit options still works for
118 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
119 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
122 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
123 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
124 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
125 in this release, except the fact that it includes
126 the changes that I didn't include in the last
129 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
131 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
132 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
133 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
134 this is not ever something you want to do
135 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
136 - added tests for this (stevan)
139 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
141 - added test for this

154 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
157 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
159 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
161 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
164 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
165 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
166 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
167 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
168 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
169 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
170 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
171 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
172 - added tests for this
174 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
175 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
176 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
177 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
179 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
181 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
182 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)

251 (late night release engineering)--
253 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
254 changes in this release
256 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
257 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
258 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!

271 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
272 method for immutablization to check if the

298 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
299 is currently not supported in roles,
300 but, ... patches welcome
301 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
302 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
303 the stack trace is usually not helpful

307 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
308 the stack trace is usually not helpful

358 show where the error is (thanks mst)
361 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
362 ->body when looping through the
363 methods, to avoid the overloaded

764 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
765 - added the &has_coercion_for_type and
766 &add_type_coercions methods to support the
767 new features above (although you cannot add
768 more type coercions for Union types)
770 0.31 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
771 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
772 - made the +attr syntax handle extending types with
773 parameters. So "has '+foo' => (isa => 'ArrayRef[Int]')"
774 now works if the original foo is an ArrayRef.
775 - added tests for this.
776 - delegation now works even if the attribute does not
777 have a reader method using the get_read_method_ref
778 method from Class::MOP::Attribute.
779 - added tests for this
780 - added docs for this
782 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
783 - passing no "additional attribute info" to
784 &find_or_create_type_constraint will no longer
785 attempt to create an __ANON__ type for you,
786 instead it will just return undef.
787 - added docs for this
789 0.30 Fri. Nov. 23, 2007
790 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
791 -builder related bug in inlined constructor. (groditi)
793 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor

795 code generation for runtime speed (groditi)
797 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
798 - fix ClassName constraint to introspect symbol table (mst)
799 - added more tests for this (mst)
800 - fixed it so that subtype 'Foo' => as 'HashRef[Int]' ...
802 - added tests for this
805 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
806 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code
809 - New tests for builder bug. Upon instantiation, if an
810 attribute had a builder, no value and was not lazy the
811 builder default was not getting run, oops. (groditi)
813 0.29 Tues. Nov. 13, 2007
814 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
815 - Fix error message on missing builder method (groditi)
817 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
818 - Fix error message on missing builder method (groditi)

825 - 0.27 packaged incorrectly (groditi)
827 0.27 Tues. Nov. 13, 2007
828 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
829 - Added support for the new builder option (groditi)
830 - Added support for lazy_build option (groditi)
831 - Changed slot initialization for predicate changes (groditi)
833 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
834 - Added support for lazy_build option (groditi)
835 - Fix inline methods to work with corrected predicate
838 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
839 - Added support for lazy_build option (groditi)
842 - tests for builder and lazy_build (groditi)
844 * fixing some misc. bits in the docs that
845 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
848 - fixed how required methods are handled
849 when they encounter overriden or modified
850 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
851 - added tests for this
853 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
854 - fixed the type notation parser so that
855 the | always creates a union and so is
856 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
857 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
859 - added more tests for this
861 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
864 * Parameterized Types
865 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
866 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
867 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
868 They can also be nested:
869 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegExpr]] # an array of hashes with regexpr values
870 And work with the type unions as well:
871 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
873 * Better Framework Extendability
874 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
875 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
876 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
877 section of the Moose.pm docs.
880 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
881 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
882 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
883 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
886 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
888 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
889 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)
892 - added all the meta classes to the immutable list and
893 set it to inline the accessors

919 - fixed issue with generated accessor code making
920 assumptions about hash based classes (thanks to dexter)
922 * Moose::Coookbook::Snacks
923 - these are bits of documentation, not quite as big as
924 Recipes but which have no clear place in the module docs.
925 So they are Snacks! (horray for castaway++)
927 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe4
928 - updated it to use the new ArrayRef[MyType] construct
929 - updated the accompanying test as well
931 +++ Major Refactor of the Type Constraint system +++
932 +++ with new features added as well +++
934 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
935 - no longer uses package variable to keep track of
936 the type constraints, now uses the an instance of
937 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry to do it
938 - added more sophisticated type notation parsing
940 - added tests for this
942 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
943 - some minor adjustments to make subclassing easier
944 - added the package_defined_in attribute so that we
945 can track where the type constraints are created
947 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
948 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
949 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
951 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
952 - this has been added to service the newly refactored
953 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union and is itself

966 - Documentation update to reference Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
967 under 'isa' in 'has' for how to define a new type
970 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
971 - required attributes now will no longer accept undef
972 from the constructor, even if there is a default and lazy

976 - added tests for this
978 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
979 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor

981 - type-constraint tests now handle overloaded objects correctly
983 - added tests for this (thanks to EvanCarroll)
985 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union

1015 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1016 - added support for roles to be given as parameters
1017 to the 'handles' option.
1018 - added tests and docs for this
1019 - the has '+foo' attribute form now accepts changes to
1020 the lazy option, and the addition of a handles option
1021 (but not changing the handles option)
1022 - added tests and docs for this
1025 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
1026 so that required methods can come from superclasses

1029 0.23 Mon. June 18, 2007
1030 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1031 - fix inlined constructor for hierarchy with multiple BUILD methods (mst)

1037 the other side (perigrin)
1039 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
1040 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1041 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1042 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
1043 prototypes for functions
1044 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
1045 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).
1046 - added tests and docs for this

1053 merlyn for finding this bug
1054 - tests added for this
1055 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
1058 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
1059 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
1060 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
1061 - added tests for this
1063 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
1065 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

1084 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
1086 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
1087 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
1089 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
1090 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
1091 so this release is just to fix that.
1094 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
1095 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
1096 (thanks to konobi for this)
1097 - added tests and docs
1099 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
1100 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
1102 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1103 - 'type' now supports messages as well
1104 thanks to phaylon for finding this
1105 - added tests for this
1106 - added &list_all_type_constraints and
1107 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
1108 functions to facilitate introspection.
1110 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1111 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
1112 to build the list of delegated methods
1113 correctly (and not override important
1114 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
1116 - added tests and docs for this
1117 - added the 'documentation' attributes
1118 so that you can actually document your
1119 attributes and inspect them through the
1121 - added tests and docs for this
1123 * Moose::Meta::Class
1124 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
1125 it will first look in for the class in the
1126 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
1127 then default to just loading $name.
1128 - added tests and docs for this
1130 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1131 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
1132 - added test for this
1135 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
1136 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
1137 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
1138 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatability sucks *cough* ;)
1140 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
1141 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
1144 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
1146 - added tests to show types and subtypes
1147 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
1148 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
1151 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
1152 !! for this developer release to work !!
1154 This release was primarily adding the immutable
1155 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
1156 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
1157 as immutable it will perform various bits of
1158 memoization and inline certain part of the code
1159 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
1160 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
1161 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
1162 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
1163 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
1164 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
1166 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
1167 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
1168 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
1169 truely interested in what was changed, please do
1172 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
1173 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1174 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
1175 are have a type constraint and lazy.
1176 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
1178 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
1180 There are some speed improvements in this release,
1181 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
1184 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
1185 called unless they actually need to be.
1186 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
1187 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
1188 DEMOLISH method present.
1190 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1191 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1192 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
1193 type constraint, which allows for a
1194 hand optimized version of the type
1195 constraint to be used when possible.
1196 - Any internally created type constraints
1197 now provide an optimized version as well.
1199 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
1201 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
1202 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
1203 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
1205 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1206 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
1207 your class namespace of these exported
1210 * Moose::Meta::Class
1211 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
1212 comes up during global destruction
1214 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
1218 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
1221 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1222 - changed how we do type checks so that
1223 we reduce the overall cost, but still
1226 - moved accessor generation methods to
1227 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
1228 conform to the API changes from
1231 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1232 - changed how constraints are compiled
1233 so that we do less recursion and more
1234 iteration. This makes the type check
1236 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1239 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1240 - created this from methods formerly found in
1241 Moose::Meta::Attribute
1243 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
1244 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
1246 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1247 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
1249 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1250 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1252 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
1254 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1255 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
1256 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
1257 - added tests for this
1258 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
1259 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
1260 broke predicates in an ugly way.
1261 - removed tests for this
1263 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
1265 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
1266 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
1267 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
1270 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
1271 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
1272 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
1274 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
1275 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
1276 comments for more info.
1279 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
1280 asked questions and common problems
1282 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1283 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
1284 - added tests for this
1286 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1287 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
1288 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
1289 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
1291 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
1292 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
1295 - added basic support for runtime role composition
1296 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
1297 is much appreciated :)
1298 - added tests for this
1300 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1301 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
1302 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
1305 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1306 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
1308 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
1310 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1311 - properly capturing error when type constraint
1315 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
1316 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
1317 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
1319 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
1321 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
1324 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
1325 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
1326 keywords because we need to localize them.
1327 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
1329 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
1330 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
1331 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
1334 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
1337 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1338 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
1339 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
1342 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
1343 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
1344 - fixed tests to reflect this change
1346 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
1348 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
1349 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
1350 bottom of your class file.
1353 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
1356 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
1358 - improved error message when loading modules so
1359 it is less confusing when you load a role.
1360 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
1361 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
1364 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
1365 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
1366 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
1368 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
1369 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
1371 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
1372 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
1373 turn them on for you.
1374 - added tests for this
1375 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
1376 in Moose::Meta::Class
1379 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
1380 automatically turned on for you.
1381 - added tests for this
1384 - now handles an edge case for override errors
1385 - added tests for this
1386 - added some more edge case tests
1388 0.09_02 Tues. May 16, 2006
1389 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
1391 - added prototypes to the exported subs

1398 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1399 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
1402 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
1403 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
1404 - This release works in combination with
1405 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
1406 release because it uses the a new
1407 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
1408 complete Role implementation. It has
1409 not yet been optimized, so it slower
1410 the the previous CPAN version. This
1411 release also lacks good updated docs,
1412 the official release will have updated docs.
1415 - refactored the keyword exports
1416 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
1417 accepts more than one Role at a time
1418 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
1419 needed to ensure metaclass compatability
1422 - refactored the keyword exports
1423 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
1424 accepts more than one Role at a time
1426 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1427 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
1428 string enumerations which can be used as
1430 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
1433 - more careful checking of params to new()
1436 - much work done on the role composition
1437 - many new tests for conflict detection
1438 and composition edge cases
1439 - not enough documentation, I suggest
1440 looking at the tests
1442 * Moose::Meta::Instance
1443 - added new Instance metaclass to support
1444 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
1446 * Moose::Meta::Class
1447 - some small changes to support the new
1449 - some small additions to support Roles
1451 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1452 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
1454 - some small changes to support the new
1456 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
1457 with the 'handles' option
1458 - added several tests for this
1459 - no docs for this yet
1461 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
1463 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
1464 thanks to chansen for this commit
1465 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
1466 to support custom attribute meta-classes
1467 on a per-attribute basis
1468 - added tests for this
1469 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
1470 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
1471 experimental feature and probably not finished
1472 see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
1473 more details, or ask about it on #moose
1474 - added tests for this
1477 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
1479 * Moose::Utils::TypeConstraints
1480 - reorganized the type constraint hierarchy, thanks
1481 to nothingmuch and chansen for his help and advice
1483 - added some tests for this
1484 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter

1512 them in apply() for both classes and roles
1513 - added tests for this
1514 - no longer adds a does() method to consuming classes

1599 - added tests and docs for this
1601 0.03 Thurs. March 30, 2006
1603 - added the Moose::Cookbook with 5 recipes,
1604 describing all the stuff Moose can do.
1607 - fixed an issue with &extends super class loading
1608 it now captures errors and deals with inline
1609 packages correctly (bug found by mst, solution
1611 - added super/override & inner/augment features
1612 - added tests and docs for these
1615 - BUILDALL now takes a reference of the %params

1619 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1620 - Type constraints now survive runtime reloading
1621 - added test for this
1623 * Moose::Meta::Class
1624 - fixed the way attribute defaults are handled
1625 during instance construction (bug found by chansen)
1627 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1628 - read-only attributes now actually enforce their
1629 read-only-ness (this corrected in Class::MOP as
1632 0.02 Tues. March 21, 2006
1634 - many more tests, fixing some bugs and
1636 - &extends now loads the base module with
1638 - added UNIVERSAL::require to the

1642 and register a subtype of Object which
1643 correspond to the new Moose class.
1644 - the 'isa' option in &has now only
1645 accepts strings, and will DWIM in
1648 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1649 - added type coercion features
1650 - added tests for this
1651 - added support for this in attributes
1652 and instance construction
1654 - type construction no longer creates a
1655 function, it registers the type instead.
1656 - added several functions to get the
1660 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL were broken
1661 because of a mis-named hash key, Whoops :)

1664 - adding support for coercion in the
1665 autogenerated accessors
1667 * Moose::Meta::Class
1668 - adding support for coercion in the
