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
9 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
10 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
11 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
13 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
14 associated_methods. (hdp)
15 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
16 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
17 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
20 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
21 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
22 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
23 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
25 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
26 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
27 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
29 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
32 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
33 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
34 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
36 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
38 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
39 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
41 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
42 * Moose::Manual::Types
43 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
44 string parsing rathole (mst)
46 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
47 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
48 using plain objects instead
51 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
56 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
57 three times today (perigrin)
58 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
59 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
61 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
62 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
63 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
64 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
67 - A role's required methods are now represented by
68 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
69 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
70 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
71 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
72 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
75 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
76 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
77 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
78 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
81 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
83 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
86 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
88 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
91 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
92 during global destruction. This method has been made more
93 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
97 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
98 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
101 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
102 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
104 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
105 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
106 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
109 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
111 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
112 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
115 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
119 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
120 methods during global destruction (doy)
123 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
124 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
128 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
129 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
132 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
133 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
136 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
137 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
139 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
141 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
145 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
146 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
147 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
150 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
151 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
152 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
155 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
157 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
158 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
159 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
162 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
163 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
164 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
165 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
167 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
168 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
169 of the Moose core (Sartak)
172 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
175 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
176 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
177 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
181 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
182 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
185 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
187 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
190 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
191 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
194 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
195 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
198 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
199 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
202 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
205 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
207 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
208 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
212 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
214 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
215 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
218 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
219 * More deprecations and renamings
220 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
221 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
222 when an object is constructed)
225 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
226 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
227 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
229 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
230 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
231 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
232 feature, and it works again.
235 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
237 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
239 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
240 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
241 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
243 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
244 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
245 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
246 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
247 message. Test provided by perigrin.
249 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
250 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
251 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
252 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
253 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
256 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
257 metaclass object. (hdp)
259 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
260 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
261 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
262 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
263 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
264 point out this fact. (hdp)
266 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
267 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
269 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
270 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
273 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
274 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
275 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
276 called during instance construction were passed the
277 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
278 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
280 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
281 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
284 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
285 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
286 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
289 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
290 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
291 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
292 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
293 them, but they are not for "public" use.
296 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
298 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
299 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
300 when an object is constructed)
301 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
303 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
304 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
305 when an object is constructed)
306 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
307 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
308 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
311 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
313 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
314 * No changes from 0.72_01.
316 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
318 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
319 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
320 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
322 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
323 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
324 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
326 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
328 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
329 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
331 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
332 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
335 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
336 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
339 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
340 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
341 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
343 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
344 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
348 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
349 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
350 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
352 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
353 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
356 * Moose::Manual::Delta
357 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
358 with recommended workarounds.
360 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
361 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
363 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
364 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
365 (yes, spelled like that).
367 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
368 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
371 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
372 changes in latest Class::MOP.
374 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
376 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
377 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
378 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
379 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
380 instead. Reported by doy.
382 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
384 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
385 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
387 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
388 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
389 message) is now deprecated.
390 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
391 often got it wrong. For example:
393 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
395 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
399 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
400 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
401 bite you in weird cases.
403 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
404 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
405 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
408 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
409 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
413 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
416 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
417 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
420 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
421 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
423 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
424 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
427 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
428 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
429 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
430 - added tests for this (stevan)
432 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
433 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
434 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
435 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
439 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
440 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
441 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
442 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
444 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
445 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
446 - added tests for this (rafl)
448 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
449 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
450 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
451 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
455 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
456 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
459 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
460 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
461 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
463 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
465 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
466 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
469 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
470 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
471 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
472 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
474 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
475 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
476 error message did not specify the attribute name
479 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
481 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
483 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
484 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
485 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
487 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
488 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
491 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
493 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
494 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
495 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
496 of fixes and formatting improvements.
498 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
500 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
501 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
502 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
503 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
505 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
506 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
507 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
509 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
510 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
511 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
512 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
513 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
515 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
516 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
517 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
518 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
519 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
521 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
522 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
523 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
524 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
525 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
526 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
528 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
529 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
530 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
531 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
532 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
533 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
535 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
536 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
538 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
539 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
540 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
541 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
543 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
544 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
547 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
551 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
552 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
554 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
555 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
556 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
559 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
560 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
561 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
563 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
564 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
565 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
566 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
569 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
572 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
573 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
575 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
577 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
580 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
581 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
582 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
583 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
584 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
585 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
587 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
588 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
589 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
590 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
591 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
592 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
593 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
594 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
595 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
596 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
598 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
600 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
601 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
603 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
604 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
605 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
606 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
608 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
609 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
610 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
611 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
612 same methods for a single role did not work
613 right (worked just fine with multiple
615 - added test for this (stevan)
617 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
618 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
619 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
622 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
623 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
624 - added test for this (t0m)
627 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
628 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
629 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
631 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
632 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
633 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
634 - added test for this (t0m)
636 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
637 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
638 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
639 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
640 - added test for this (perigrin)
643 - create method for constructing a role
645 - added test for this (Sartak)
646 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
647 - added test for this (Sartak)
650 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
652 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
653 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
654 methods is useful (Sartak)
656 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
657 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
658 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
662 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
663 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
664 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
665 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
666 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
667 - added tests for this (jdv79)
670 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
671 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
673 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
674 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
675 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
676 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
677 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
679 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
681 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
682 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
683 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
686 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
687 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
688 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
689 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
690 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
691 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
694 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
695 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
696 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
697 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
698 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
699 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
700 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
701 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
702 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
703 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
704 future. (jnapiorkowski)
706 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
707 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
710 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
711 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
712 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
713 type. (jnapiorkowski)
714 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
716 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
718 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
719 predicate, and link to more details sections in
720 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
722 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
723 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
725 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
726 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
727 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
728 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
731 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
732 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
734 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
736 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
737 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
740 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
741 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
744 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
745 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
746 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
747 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
749 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
750 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
752 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
753 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
754 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
755 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
756 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
757 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
758 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
759 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
761 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
762 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
763 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
765 * Roles and role application
766 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
767 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
768 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
769 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
770 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
772 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
773 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
776 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
777 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
778 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
779 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
780 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
783 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
784 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
785 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
786 changes in the Moose internals.
788 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
789 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
790 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
793 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
794 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
795 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
796 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
798 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
799 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
800 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
801 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
803 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
804 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
805 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
806 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
807 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
808 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
809 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
810 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
811 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
812 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
813 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
814 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
815 constraint implementations.
817 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
821 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
822 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
823 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
824 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
825 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
826 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
827 - added tests for this (rafl)
830 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
831 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
832 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
833 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
834 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
835 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
836 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
837 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
840 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
841 - added tests for this (thepler)
843 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
844 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
845 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
846 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
850 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
851 * Moose::Meta::Method
854 * Moose::Error::Default
855 * Moose::Error::Croak
856 * Moose::Error::Confess
857 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
858 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
859 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
860 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
861 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
862 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
864 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
866 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
867 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
870 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
871 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
872 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
874 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
875 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
876 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
877 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
878 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
881 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
882 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
884 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
885 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
886 several major changes in this release of Moose.
887 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
890 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
892 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
893 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
895 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
900 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
901 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.

905 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
906 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
907 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
908 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
909 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
910 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
912 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
913 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
914 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
916 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
917 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
918 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
921 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
922 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
923 dependency to 0.64_07.
925 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
926 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
927 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
929 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
930 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
933 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
934 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
935 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
936 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
937 coincidental exception. (t0m).
938 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
940 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
941 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
943 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
945 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
946 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
950 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
951 method when that method was provided by another role being
952 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
953 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
955 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
957 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
958 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
960 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
961 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
962 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
963 - added test for this (t0m)
965 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
966 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
967 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
969 - added test for this (t0m)
972 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
973 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
974 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
977 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
978 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
980 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
982 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
985 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
986 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
987 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
989 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
990 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
993 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
994 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
995 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
996 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1000 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1001 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1002 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1005 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1006 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1007 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1008 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1011 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1015 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1016 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1017 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1019 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008

1030 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1031 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1034 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1035 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1037 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1038 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1039 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)

1057 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1058 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1060 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1061 ... this is not my day today ...
1063 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1064 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1065 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1066 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1067 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1070 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1071 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1072 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1073 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1074 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1077 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1079 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1080 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1081 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1082 this is not ever something you want to do
1083 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1084 - added tests for this (stevan)
1087 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1089 - added test for this

1098 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
1100 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
1101 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1102 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1105 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1107 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1109 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1112 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1113 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1114 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1115 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1116 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1117 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1118 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1119 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1120 - added tests for this
1122 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1123 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1124 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1125 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
1127 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)

1193 (early morning release engineering)--
1195 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1196 which was causing the indexer to choke
1198 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1199 (late night release engineering)--
1201 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
1202 changes in this release
1204 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
1205 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1206 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
1208 * Moose::Meta::Class
1209 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
1210 since it is called so often by &meta
1212 * Moose::Meta::Class
1214 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
1215 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
1218 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1219 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
1220 method for immutablization to check if the
1221 destructor object even needs to be created
1224 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1225 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1226 - added more descriptive error message to help
1227 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
1228 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
1230 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
1232 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
1233 XS based functionality is now optional
1234 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1235 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1236 can now be used to force non-XS versions
1238 - several of the packages have been tweaked
1239 to take care of this, mostly we added
1240 support for the package_name and name
1241 variables in all the Method metaclasses
1242 - before/around/after method modifiers now
1243 support regexp matching of names
1244 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1245 - tests added for this
1246 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
1247 is currently not supported in roles,
1248 but, ... patches welcome
1249 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1250 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1251 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1254 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1255 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1256 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1257 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
1258 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
1259 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
1260 - added test for this
1262 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1263 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
1264 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
1267 * Moose::Meta::Class

1272 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
1274 - added tests for this

1278 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1279 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
1280 themselves parameterizable types
1282 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1283 - fixed bug where trigger was not being
1284 called by the inlined immutable
1286 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
1288 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
1289 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
1290 (if possible) to create the anon-class
1291 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
1293 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
1294 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
1298 - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was
1299 causing occasional cpantester failures
1300 - renamed the t/000_recipe/*.t tests to be
1301 more descriptive (thanks to Sartak)
1303 0.44 Sat. May 10, 2008
1305 - made make_immutable warning cluck to
1306 show where the error is (thanks mst)
1309 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
1310 ->body when looping through the
1311 methods, to avoid the overloaded
1313 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
1314 eating the $@ values, and so not
1315 working correctly, it still kind of
1316 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
1317 - added tests for this
1319 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
1320 - added new recipe for immutable
1321 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)
1323 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe9

1327 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
1328 - added new recipe for method aliasing
1329 and exclusion with Roles (thanks Dave Rolsky)
1332 - fixed Win32 test failure (thanks spicyjack)
1334 ~ removed Build.PL and Module::Build compat
1335 since Module::Install has done that.
1337 0.43 Wed. April, 30, 2008
1339 drink more coffee before
1340 doing release engineering
1342 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
1343 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr
1344 modules. This fixes that.
1346 0.42 Mon. April 28, 2008
1347 - some bad tests slipped by, nothing else
1348 changed in this release (cpantesters++)
1350 - upped the Class::MOP dependency to 0.55
1351 since we have tests which need the C3
1354 0.41 Mon. April 28, 2008
1355 ~~ numerous documentation updates ~~
1357 - Changed all usage of die to Carp::croak for better
1358 error reporting (initial patch by Tod Hagan)
1360 ** IMPORTANT NOTE **
1361 - the make_immutable keyword is now deprecated, don't
1362 use it in any new code and please fix your old code
1363 as well. There will be 2 releases, and then it will
1369 - refactored the way inner and super work to avoid
1370 any method/@ISA cache penalty (nothingmuch)

1374 coerced value (spotted by Charles Alderman on the
1376 - added test for this
1378 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor

1394 - inherited attributes may now be extended without
1395 restriction on the type ('isa', 'does') (Sartak)
1396 - added tests for this (Sartak)

1398 a default), give the name of the attribute in the error
1400 - added the &applied_traits and &has_applied_traits methods
1401 to allow introspection of traits
1402 - added tests for this
1403 - moved 'trait' and 'metaclass' argument handling to here from

1457 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
1459 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
1460 that come from recently composed roles. It makes

1503 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
1504 it ever did this originally, this means we now
1505 have slightly better support for AUTOLOADed
1507 - added more delegation tests
1508 - adding ->does method to this so as to better
1509 support traits and their introspection.

1750 - added tests for this
1753 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
1754 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

1797 when they encounter overriden or modified
1798 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
1799 - added tests for this
1801 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint

1809 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
1812 * Parameterized Types
1813 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
1814 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
1815 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
1816 They can also be nested:
1817 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
1818 And work with the type unions as well:
1819 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
1821 * Better Framework Extendability
1822 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
1823 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
1824 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
1825 section of the Moose.pm docs.
1828 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
1829 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
1830 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
1831 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

2085 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2086 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2088 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2089 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2092 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2094 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2095 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2096 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2099 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2100 !! for this developer release to work !!
2102 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2103 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2104 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2105 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2106 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2107 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2108 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2109 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2110 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2111 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2112 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2114 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2115 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2116 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2117 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2120 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2121 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2122 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2123 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2124 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2126 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2128 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2129 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2132 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2133 called unless they actually need to be.
2134 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2135 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2136 DEMOLISH method present.
2138 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2139 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2140 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2141 type constraint, which allows for a
2142 hand optimized version of the type
2143 constraint to be used when possible.
2144 - Any internally created type constraints
2145 now provide an optimized version as well.
2147 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2149 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2150 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2151 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2153 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2154 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2155 your class namespace of these exported
2158 * Moose::Meta::Class
2159 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2160 comes up during global destruction
2162 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2166 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2169 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2170 - changed how we do type checks so that
2171 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2174 - moved accessor generation methods to
2175 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2176 conform to the API changes from
2179 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2180 - changed how constraints are compiled
2181 so that we do less recursion and more
2182 iteration. This makes the type check
2184 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2187 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2188 - created this from methods formerly found in
2189 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2191 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2192 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2194 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2195 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2197 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2198 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2200 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2202 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2203 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2204 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2205 - added tests for this
2206 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2207 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2208 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2209 - removed tests for this
2211 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2213 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2214 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2215 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2218 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2219 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2220 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2222 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2223 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2224 comments for more info.
2227 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2228 asked questions and common problems
2230 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2231 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2232 - added tests for this
2234 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2235 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2236 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2237 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2239 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2240 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2243 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2244 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2245 is much appreciated :)
2246 - added tests for this
2248 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2249 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2250 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2253 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2254 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2256 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2258 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2259 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2263 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2264 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2265 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2267 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2269 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2272 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2273 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2274 keywords because we need to localize them.
2275 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2277 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2278 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2279 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2282 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2285 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2286 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2287 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2290 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2291 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2292 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2294 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2296 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2297 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2298 bottom of your class file.
2301 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2304 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2306 - improved error message when loading modules so
2307 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2308 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2309 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2312 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2313 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2314 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2316 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2317 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2319 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2320 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2321 turn them on for you.
2322 - added tests for this
2323 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2324 in Moose::Meta::Class
2327 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
2328 automatically turned on for you.

2351 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2352 - This release works in combination with
2353 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2354 release because it uses the a new
2355 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2356 complete Role implementation. It has
2357 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2358 the the previous CPAN version. This
2359 release also lacks good updated docs,
2360 the official release will have updated docs.
2363 - refactored the keyword exports
2364 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2365 accepts more than one Role at a time
2366 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
2367 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
2370 - refactored the keyword exports
2371 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2372 accepts more than one Role at a time
2374 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2375 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
2376 string enumerations which can be used as
2378 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2381 - more careful checking of params to new()
2384 - much work done on the role composition
2385 - many new tests for conflict detection
2386 and composition edge cases
2387 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2388 looking at the tests
2390 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2391 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2392 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
2394 * Moose::Meta::Class
2395 - some small changes to support the new
2397 - some small additions to support Roles
2399 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2400 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
2402 - some small changes to support the new
2404 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
2405 with the 'handles' option
2406 - added several tests for this
2407 - no docs for this yet
2409 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
2411 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2412 thanks to chansen for this commit
2413 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2414 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2415 on a per-attribute basis
2416 - added tests for this
2417 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2418 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
2419 experimental feature and probably not finished

2421 more details, or ask about it on #moose
2422 - added tests for this

2437 construct_instance (for the better)
2439 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

2484 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
2486 - added test for this
