6 predicate, and link to more details sections in
7 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
8 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
9 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
10 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
11 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
12 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
13 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
15 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
16 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
18 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/

25 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
26 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
27 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
29 * Roles and role application
30 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
31 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
32 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
33 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
34 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
36 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
37 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
40 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
41 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
42 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
43 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
44 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
47 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
48 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
49 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
50 changes in the Moose internals.
52 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
53 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
54 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
57 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
58 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
59 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
60 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
62 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
63 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
64 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
65 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
67 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
68 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
69 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
70 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
71 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
72 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
73 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
74 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
75 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
76 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
77 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
78 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
79 constraint implementations.
81 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
85 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
86 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
87 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
88 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
89 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
90 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
91 - added tests for this (rafl)
94 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
95 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
96 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
97 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
98 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
99 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
100 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
101 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
104 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
105 - added tests for this (thepler)
107 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
108 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
109 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
110 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
114 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
115 * Moose::Meta::Method
118 * Moose::Error::Default
119 * Moose::Error::Croak
120 * Moose::Error::Confess
121 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
122 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
123 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
124 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
125 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
126 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
128 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
130 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
131 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
134 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
135 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
136 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
138 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
139 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
140 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
141 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
142 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
145 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
146 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
148 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
149 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
150 several major changes in this release of Moose.
151 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
154 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
156 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
157 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
159 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
164 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
165 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.

169 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
170 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
171 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
172 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
173 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
174 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
176 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
177 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
178 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
180 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3

182 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
185 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
186 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
187 dependency to 0.64_07.
189 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
190 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
191 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
193 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
194 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
197 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
198 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
199 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
200 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
201 coincidental exception. (t0m).
202 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
204 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
205 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
207 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
209 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
210 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
214 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
215 method when that method was provided by another role being
216 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
217 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
219 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008

222 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
224 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor

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

294 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
295 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
298 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
299 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
301 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
302 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
303 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
305 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1

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

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

460 which was causing the indexer to choke
462 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
463 (late night release engineering)--
465 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
466 changes in this release
468 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
469 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
470 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
473 - some optimizations of the &initialize method

482 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
483 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
484 method for immutablization to check if the
485 destructor object even needs to be created
488 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
489 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
490 - added more descriptive error message to help
491 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
492 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
494 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
496 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
497 XS based functionality is now optional

505 variables in all the Method metaclasses
506 - before/around/after method modifiers now
507 support regexp matching of names
508 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
509 - tests added for this
510 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
511 is currently not supported in roles,
512 but, ... patches welcome
513 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
514 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
515 the stack trace is usually not helpful
518 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
519 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
520 the stack trace is usually not helpful
521 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the

524 - added test for this
526 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
527 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an

558 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
562 - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was
563 causing occasional cpantester failures

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

603 drink more coffee before
604 doing release engineering
606 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,

763 from a role, it works and makes sense too.
765 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
766 - fix handles so that it doesn't return nothing
767 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
768 it ever did this originally, this means we now

771 - added more delegation tests
772 - adding ->does method to this so as to better
773 support traits and their introspection.
774 - added tests for this

1014 - added tests for this
1017 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
1018 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

1060 - fixed how required methods are handled
1061 when they encounter overriden or modified
1062 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
1063 - added tests for this
1065 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1066 - fixed the type notation parser so that
1067 the | always creates a union and so is

1069 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
1071 - added more tests for this
1073 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
1076 * Parameterized Types
1077 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
1078 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
1079 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
1080 They can also be nested:
1081 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegExpr]] # an array of hashes with regexpr values
1082 And work with the type unions as well:
1083 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
1085 * Better Framework Extendability
1086 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
1087 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
1088 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
1089 section of the Moose.pm docs.
1092 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
1093 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
1094 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
1095 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
1098 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
1100 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of

1303 so this release is just to fix that.
1306 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
1307 to create multiple attrs (see docs)

1326 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
1328 - added tests and docs for this
1329 - added the 'documentation' attributes
1330 so that you can actually document your
1331 attributes and inspect them through the
1333 - added tests and docs for this
1335 * Moose::Meta::Class
1336 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
1337 it will first look in for the class in the
1338 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
1339 then default to just loading $name.
1340 - added tests and docs for this
1342 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1343 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
1344 - added test for this
1347 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
1348 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
1349 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
1350 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
1352 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
1353 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
1356 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
1358 - added tests to show types and subtypes
1359 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
1360 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
1363 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
1364 !! for this developer release to work !!
1366 This release was primarily adding the immutable
1367 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
1368 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
1369 as immutable it will perform various bits of
1370 memoization and inline certain part of the code
1371 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
1372 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
1373 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
1374 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
1375 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
1376 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
1378 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
1379 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
1380 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
1381 truely interested in what was changed, please do
1384 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
1385 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1386 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
1387 are have a type constraint and lazy.
1388 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
1390 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
1392 There are some speed improvements in this release,
1393 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
1396 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
1397 called unless they actually need to be.
1398 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
1399 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
1400 DEMOLISH method present.
1402 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1403 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1404 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
1405 type constraint, which allows for a
1406 hand optimized version of the type
1407 constraint to be used when possible.
1408 - Any internally created type constraints
1409 now provide an optimized version as well.
1411 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
1413 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
1414 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
1415 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
1417 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1418 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
1419 your class namespace of these exported
1422 * Moose::Meta::Class
1423 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
1424 comes up during global destruction
1426 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
1430 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
1433 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1434 - changed how we do type checks so that
1435 we reduce the overall cost, but still
1438 - moved accessor generation methods to
1439 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
1440 conform to the API changes from
1443 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1444 - changed how constraints are compiled
1445 so that we do less recursion and more
1446 iteration. This makes the type check
1448 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1451 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1452 - created this from methods formerly found in
1453 Moose::Meta::Attribute
1455 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
1456 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
1458 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1459 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
1461 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1462 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1464 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
1466 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1467 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
1468 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
1469 - added tests for this
1470 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
1471 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
1472 broke predicates in an ugly way.
1473 - removed tests for this
1475 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
1477 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
1478 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
1479 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
1482 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
1483 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
1484 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
1486 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
1487 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
1488 comments for more info.
1491 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
1492 asked questions and common problems
1494 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1495 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
1496 - added tests for this
1498 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1499 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
1500 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
1501 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
1503 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
1504 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
1507 - added basic support for runtime role composition
1508 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
1509 is much appreciated :)
1510 - added tests for this
1512 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1513 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
1514 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
1517 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1518 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
1520 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
1522 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1523 - properly capturing error when type constraint
1527 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
1528 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
1529 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
1531 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
1533 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
1536 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
1537 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
1538 keywords because we need to localize them.
1539 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
1541 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
1542 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
1543 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
1546 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
1549 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1550 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
1551 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
1554 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
1555 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
1556 - fixed tests to reflect this change
1558 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
1560 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
1561 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
1562 bottom of your class file.
1565 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
1568 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
1570 - improved error message when loading modules so
1571 it is less confusing when you load a role.
1572 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
1573 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
1576 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
1577 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
1578 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
1580 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
1581 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
1583 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
1584 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
1585 turn them on for you.
1586 - added tests for this
1587 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
1588 in Moose::Meta::Class
1591 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
1592 automatically turned on for you.

1611 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
1614 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
1615 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
1616 - This release works in combination with
1617 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
1618 release because it uses the a new
1619 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
1620 complete Role implementation. It has
1621 not yet been optimized, so it slower
1622 the the previous CPAN version. This
1623 release also lacks good updated docs,
1624 the official release will have updated docs.
1627 - refactored the keyword exports
1628 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
1629 accepts more than one Role at a time
1630 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
1631 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
1634 - refactored the keyword exports
1635 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
1636 accepts more than one Role at a time
1638 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1639 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
1640 string enumerations which can be used as
1642 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
1645 - more careful checking of params to new()
1648 - much work done on the role composition
1649 - many new tests for conflict detection
1650 and composition edge cases
1651 - not enough documentation, I suggest
1652 looking at the tests
1654 * Moose::Meta::Instance
1655 - added new Instance metaclass to support
1656 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
1658 * Moose::Meta::Class

1661 - some small additions to support Roles
1663 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1664 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
1666 - some small changes to support the new
1668 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
1669 with the 'handles' option
1670 - added several tests for this
1671 - no docs for this yet
1673 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
1675 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
1676 thanks to chansen for this commit
1677 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
1678 to support custom attribute meta-classes
1679 on a per-attribute basis
1680 - added tests for this
1681 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
1682 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
1683 experimental feature and probably not finished

1685 more details, or ask about it on #moose
1686 - added tests for this
