1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
6 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in roles. (doy)
8 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
9 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
10 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
12 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
13 associated_methods. (hdp)
14 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate, clearer) now
15 warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
16 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
19 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
20 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
21 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
22 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
24 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
25 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
26 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
28 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
31 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
32 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
33 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
35 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
37 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
38 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
40 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
41 * Moose::Manual::Types
42 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
43 string parsing rathole (mst)
45 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
46 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
47 using plain objects instead
50 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
55 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
56 three times today (perigrin)
57 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
58 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
60 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
61 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
62 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
63 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
66 - A role's required methods are now represented by
67 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
68 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
69 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
70 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
71 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
74 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
75 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
76 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
77 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
80 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
82 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
85 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
87 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
90 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
91 during global destruction. This method has been made more
92 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
96 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
97 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
100 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
101 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
103 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
104 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
105 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
108 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
110 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
111 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
114 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
118 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
119 methods during global destruction (doy)
122 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
123 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
127 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
128 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
131 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
132 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
135 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
136 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
138 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
140 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
144 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
145 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
146 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
149 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
150 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
151 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
154 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
156 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
157 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
158 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
161 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
162 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
163 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
164 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
166 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
167 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
168 of the Moose core (Sartak)
171 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
174 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
175 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
176 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
180 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
181 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
184 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
186 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
189 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
190 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
193 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
194 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
197 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
198 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
201 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
204 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
206 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
207 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
211 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
213 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
214 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
217 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
218 * More deprecations and renamings
219 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
220 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
221 when an object is constructed)
224 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
225 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
226 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
228 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
229 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
230 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
231 feature, and it works again.
234 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
236 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
238 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
239 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
240 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
242 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
243 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
244 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
245 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
246 message. Test provided by perigrin.
248 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
249 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
250 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
251 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
252 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
255 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
256 metaclass object. (hdp)
258 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
259 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
260 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
261 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
262 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
263 point out this fact. (hdp)
265 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
266 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
268 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
269 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
272 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
273 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
274 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
275 called during instance construction were passed the
276 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
277 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
279 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
280 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
283 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
284 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
285 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
288 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
289 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
290 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
291 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
292 them, but they are not for "public" use.
295 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
297 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
298 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
299 when an object is constructed)
300 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
302 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
303 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
304 when an object is constructed)
305 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
306 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
307 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
310 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
312 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
313 * No changes from 0.72_01.
315 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
317 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
318 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
319 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
321 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
322 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
323 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
325 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
327 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
328 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
330 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
331 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
334 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
335 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
338 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
339 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
340 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
342 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
343 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
347 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
348 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
349 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
351 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
352 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
355 * Moose::Manual::Delta
356 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
357 with recommended workarounds.
359 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
360 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
362 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
363 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
364 (yes, spelled like that).
366 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
367 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
370 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
371 changes in latest Class::MOP.
373 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
375 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
376 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
377 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
378 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
379 instead. Reported by doy.
381 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
383 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
384 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
386 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
387 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
388 message) is now deprecated.
389 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
390 often got it wrong. For example:
392 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
394 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
398 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
399 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
400 bite you in weird cases.
402 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
403 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
404 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
407 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
408 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
412 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
415 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
416 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
419 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
420 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
422 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
423 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
426 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
427 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
428 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
429 - added tests for this (stevan)
431 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
432 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
433 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
434 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
438 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
439 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
440 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
441 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
443 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
444 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
445 - added tests for this (rafl)
447 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
448 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
449 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
450 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
454 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
455 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
458 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
459 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
460 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
462 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
464 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
465 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
468 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
469 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
470 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
471 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
473 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
474 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
475 error message did not specify the attribute name
478 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
480 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
482 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
483 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
484 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
486 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
487 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
490 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
492 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
493 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
494 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
495 of fixes and formatting improvements.
497 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
499 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
500 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
501 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
502 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
504 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
505 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
506 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
508 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
509 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
510 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
511 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
512 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
514 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
515 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
516 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
517 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
518 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
520 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
521 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
522 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
523 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
524 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
525 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
527 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
528 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
529 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
530 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
531 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
532 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
534 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
535 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
537 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
538 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
539 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
540 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
542 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
543 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
546 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
550 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
551 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
553 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
554 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
555 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
558 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
559 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
560 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
562 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
563 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
564 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
565 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
568 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
571 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
572 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
574 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
576 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
579 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
580 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
581 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
582 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
583 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
584 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
586 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
587 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
588 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
589 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
590 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
591 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
592 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
593 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
594 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
595 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
597 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
599 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
600 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
602 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
603 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
604 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
605 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
607 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
608 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
609 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
610 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
611 same methods for a single role did not work
612 right (worked just fine with multiple
614 - added test for this (stevan)
616 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
617 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
618 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
621 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
622 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
623 - added test for this (t0m)
626 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
627 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
628 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
630 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
631 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
632 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
633 - added test for this (t0m)
635 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
636 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
637 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
638 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
639 - added test for this (perigrin)
642 - create method for constructing a role
644 - added test for this (Sartak)
645 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
646 - added test for this (Sartak)
649 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
651 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
652 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
653 methods is useful (Sartak)
655 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
656 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
657 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
661 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
662 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
663 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
664 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
665 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
666 - added tests for this (jdv79)
669 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
670 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
672 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
673 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
674 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
675 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
676 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
678 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
680 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
681 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
682 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
685 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
686 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
687 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
688 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
689 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
690 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
693 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
694 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
695 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
696 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
697 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
698 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
699 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
700 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
701 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
702 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
703 future. (jnapiorkowski)
705 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
706 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
709 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
710 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
711 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
712 type. (jnapiorkowski)
713 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
715 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
717 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
718 predicate, and link to more details sections in
719 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
721 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
722 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
724 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
725 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
726 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
727 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
730 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
731 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
733 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
735 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
736 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
739 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
740 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
743 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
744 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
745 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
746 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
748 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
749 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
751 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
752 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
753 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
754 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
755 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
756 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
757 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
758 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
760 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
761 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
762 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
764 * Roles and role application
765 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
766 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
767 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
768 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
769 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
771 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
772 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
775 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
776 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
777 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
778 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
779 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
782 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
783 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
784 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
785 changes in the Moose internals.
787 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
788 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
789 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
792 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
793 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
794 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
795 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
797 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
798 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
799 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
800 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
802 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
803 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
804 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
805 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
806 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
807 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
808 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
809 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
810 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
811 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
812 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
813 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
814 constraint implementations.
816 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
820 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
821 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
822 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
823 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
824 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
825 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
826 - added tests for this (rafl)
829 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
830 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
831 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
832 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
833 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
834 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
835 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
836 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
839 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
840 - added tests for this (thepler)
842 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
843 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
844 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
845 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
849 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
850 * Moose::Meta::Method
853 * Moose::Error::Default
854 * Moose::Error::Croak
855 * Moose::Error::Confess
856 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
857 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
858 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
859 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
860 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
861 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
863 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
865 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
866 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
869 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
870 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
871 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
873 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
874 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
875 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
876 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
877 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
880 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
881 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
883 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
884 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
885 several major changes in this release of Moose.
886 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
889 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
891 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
892 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
894 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
899 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
900 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.

904 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
905 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
906 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
907 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
908 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
909 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
911 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
912 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
913 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
915 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
916 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
917 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
920 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
921 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
922 dependency to 0.64_07.
924 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
925 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
926 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
928 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
929 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
932 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
933 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
934 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
935 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
936 coincidental exception. (t0m).
937 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
939 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
940 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
942 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
944 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
945 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
949 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
950 method when that method was provided by another role being
951 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
952 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
954 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
956 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
957 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
959 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
960 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
961 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
962 - added test for this (t0m)
964 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
965 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
966 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
968 - added test for this (t0m)
971 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
972 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
973 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
976 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
977 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
979 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
981 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
984 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
985 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
986 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
988 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
989 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
992 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
993 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
994 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
995 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
999 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1000 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1001 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1004 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1005 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1006 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1007 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1010 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1014 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1015 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1016 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1018 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008

1026 the type constraints (RT #37569)
1027 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
1029 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1030 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1033 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1034 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1036 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1037 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1038 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)

1056 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1057 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1059 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1060 ... this is not my day today ...
1062 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1063 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1064 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1065 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1066 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1069 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1070 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1071 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1072 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1073 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1076 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1078 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1079 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1080 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1081 this is not ever something you want to do
1082 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1083 - added tests for this (stevan)
1086 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1088 - added test for this

1097 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
1099 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
1100 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1101 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1104 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1106 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1108 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1111 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1112 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1113 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1114 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1115 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1116 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1117 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1118 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1119 - added tests for this
1121 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1122 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1123 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1124 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
1126 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)

1160 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
1161 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
1162 Moose attributes which is "Moose"

1192 (early morning release engineering)--
1194 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1195 which was causing the indexer to choke
1197 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1198 (late night release engineering)--
1200 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
1201 changes in this release
1203 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
1204 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1205 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
1207 * Moose::Meta::Class
1208 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
1209 since it is called so often by &meta
1211 * Moose::Meta::Class
1213 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
1214 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
1217 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1218 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
1219 method for immutablization to check if the
1220 destructor object even needs to be created
1223 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1224 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1225 - added more descriptive error message to help
1226 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
1227 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
1229 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
1231 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
1232 XS based functionality is now optional
1233 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1234 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1235 can now be used to force non-XS versions
1237 - several of the packages have been tweaked
1238 to take care of this, mostly we added
1239 support for the package_name and name
1240 variables in all the Method metaclasses
1241 - before/around/after method modifiers now
1242 support regexp matching of names
1243 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1244 - tests added for this
1245 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
1246 is currently not supported in roles,
1247 but, ... patches welcome
1248 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1249 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1250 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1253 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1254 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1255 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1256 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
1257 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
1258 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
1259 - added test for this
1261 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1262 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
1263 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
1266 * Moose::Meta::Class

1277 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1278 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
1279 themselves parameterizable types
1281 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1282 - fixed bug where trigger was not being
1283 called by the inlined immutable
1285 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
1287 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
1288 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
1289 (if possible) to create the anon-class
1290 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
1292 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
1293 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
1297 - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was
1298 causing occasional cpantester failures
1299 - renamed the t/000_recipe/*.t tests to be
1300 more descriptive (thanks to Sartak)
1302 0.44 Sat. May 10, 2008
1304 - made make_immutable warning cluck to
1305 show where the error is (thanks mst)
1308 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
1309 ->body when looping through the
1310 methods, to avoid the overloaded
1312 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
1313 eating the $@ values, and so not
1314 working correctly, it still kind of
1315 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
1316 - added tests for this
1318 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
1319 - added new recipe for immutable
1320 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)
1322 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe9

1326 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
1327 - added new recipe for method aliasing
1328 and exclusion with Roles (thanks Dave Rolsky)
1331 - fixed Win32 test failure (thanks spicyjack)
1333 ~ removed Build.PL and Module::Build compat
1334 since Module::Install has done that.
1336 0.43 Wed. April, 30, 2008
1338 drink more coffee before
1339 doing release engineering
1341 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
1342 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr
1343 modules. This fixes that.
1345 0.42 Mon. April 28, 2008
1346 - some bad tests slipped by, nothing else
1347 changed in this release (cpantesters++)
1349 - upped the Class::MOP dependency to 0.55
1350 since we have tests which need the C3
1353 0.41 Mon. April 28, 2008
1354 ~~ numerous documentation updates ~~
1356 - Changed all usage of die to Carp::croak for better
1357 error reporting (initial patch by Tod Hagan)
1359 ** IMPORTANT NOTE **
1360 - the make_immutable keyword is now deprecated, don't
1361 use it in any new code and please fix your old code
1362 as well. There will be 2 releases, and then it will
1368 - refactored the way inner and super work to avoid
1369 any method/@ISA cache penalty (nothingmuch)

1373 coerced value (spotted by Charles Alderman on the
1375 - added test for this
1377 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1378 - immutable classes which had non-lazy attributes were calling
1379 the default generating sub twice in the constructor. (bug
1380 found by Jesse Luehrs, fixed by Dave Rolsky)

1393 - inherited attributes may now be extended without
1394 restriction on the type ('isa', 'does') (Sartak)

1397 a default), give the name of the attribute in the error
1399 - added the &applied_traits and &has_applied_traits methods
1400 to allow introspection of traits
1401 - added tests for this
1402 - moved 'trait' and 'metaclass' argument handling to here from

1456 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
1458 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
1459 that come from recently composed roles. It makes

1502 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
1503 it ever did this originally, this means we now
1504 have slightly better support for AUTOLOADed
1506 - added more delegation tests
1507 - adding ->does method to this so as to better
1508 support traits and their introspection.

1749 - added tests for this
1752 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
1753 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

1796 when they encounter overriden or modified
1797 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
1798 - added tests for this
1800 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint

1808 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
1811 * Parameterized Types
1812 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
1813 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
1814 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
1815 They can also be nested:
1816 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
1817 And work with the type unions as well:
1818 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
1820 * Better Framework Extendability
1821 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
1822 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
1823 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
1824 section of the Moose.pm docs.
1827 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
1828 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
1829 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
1830 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

2084 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2085 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2087 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2088 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2091 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2093 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2094 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2095 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2098 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2099 !! for this developer release to work !!
2101 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2102 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2103 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2104 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2105 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2106 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2107 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2108 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2109 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2110 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2111 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2113 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2114 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2115 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2116 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2119 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2120 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2121 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2122 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2123 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2125 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2127 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2128 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2131 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2132 called unless they actually need to be.
2133 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2134 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2135 DEMOLISH method present.
2137 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2138 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2139 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2140 type constraint, which allows for a
2141 hand optimized version of the type
2142 constraint to be used when possible.
2143 - Any internally created type constraints
2144 now provide an optimized version as well.
2146 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2148 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2149 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2150 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2152 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2153 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2154 your class namespace of these exported
2157 * Moose::Meta::Class
2158 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2159 comes up during global destruction
2161 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2165 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2168 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2169 - changed how we do type checks so that
2170 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2173 - moved accessor generation methods to
2174 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2175 conform to the API changes from
2178 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2179 - changed how constraints are compiled
2180 so that we do less recursion and more
2181 iteration. This makes the type check
2183 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2186 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2187 - created this from methods formerly found in
2188 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2190 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2191 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2193 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2194 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2196 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2197 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2199 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2201 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2202 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2203 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2204 - added tests for this
2205 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2206 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2207 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2208 - removed tests for this
2210 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2212 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2213 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2214 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2217 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2218 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2219 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2221 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2222 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2223 comments for more info.
2226 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2227 asked questions and common problems
2229 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2230 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2231 - added tests for this
2233 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2234 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2235 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2236 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2238 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2239 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2242 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2243 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2244 is much appreciated :)
2245 - added tests for this
2247 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2248 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2249 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2252 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2253 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2255 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2257 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2258 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2262 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2263 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2264 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2266 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2268 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2271 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2272 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2273 keywords because we need to localize them.
2274 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2276 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2277 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2278 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2281 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2284 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2285 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2286 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2289 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2290 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2291 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2293 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2295 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2296 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2297 bottom of your class file.
2300 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2303 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2305 - improved error message when loading modules so
2306 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2307 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2308 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2311 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2312 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2313 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2315 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2316 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2318 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2319 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2320 turn them on for you.
2321 - added tests for this
2322 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2323 in Moose::Meta::Class
2326 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
2327 automatically turned on for you.

2350 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2351 - This release works in combination with
2352 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2353 release because it uses the a new
2354 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2355 complete Role implementation. It has
2356 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2357 the the previous CPAN version. This
2358 release also lacks good updated docs,
2359 the official release will have updated docs.
2362 - refactored the keyword exports
2363 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2364 accepts more than one Role at a time
2365 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
2366 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
2369 - refactored the keyword exports
2370 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2371 accepts more than one Role at a time
2373 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2374 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
2375 string enumerations which can be used as
2377 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2380 - more careful checking of params to new()
2383 - much work done on the role composition
2384 - many new tests for conflict detection
2385 and composition edge cases
2386 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2387 looking at the tests
2389 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2390 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2391 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
2393 * Moose::Meta::Class
2394 - some small changes to support the new
2396 - some small additions to support Roles
2398 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2399 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
2401 - some small changes to support the new
2403 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
2404 with the 'handles' option
2405 - added several tests for this
2406 - no docs for this yet
2408 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
2410 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2411 thanks to chansen for this commit
2412 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2413 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2414 on a per-attribute basis
2415 - added tests for this
2416 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2417 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
2418 experimental feature and probably not finished

2420 more details, or ask about it on #moose
2421 - added tests for this

2436 construct_instance (for the better)
2438 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

2483 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
2485 - added test for this
2488 - this class can now be extended with 'use base' if
