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)
37 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
38 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
40 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
42 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
43 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
45 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
46 * Moose::Manual::Types
47 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
48 string parsing rathole (mst)
50 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
51 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
52 using plain objects instead
55 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
60 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
61 three times today (perigrin)
62 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
63 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
65 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
66 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
67 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
68 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
71 - A role's required methods are now represented by
72 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
73 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
74 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
75 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
76 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
79 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
80 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
81 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
82 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
85 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
87 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
90 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
92 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
95 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
96 during global destruction. This method has been made more
97 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
101 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
102 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
105 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
106 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
108 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
109 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
110 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
113 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
115 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
116 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
119 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
123 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
124 methods during global destruction (doy)
127 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
128 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
132 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
133 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
136 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
137 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
140 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
141 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
143 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
145 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
149 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
150 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
151 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
154 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
155 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
156 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
159 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
161 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
162 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
163 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
166 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
167 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
168 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
169 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
171 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
172 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
173 of the Moose core (Sartak)
176 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
179 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
180 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
181 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
185 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
186 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
189 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
191 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
194 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
195 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
198 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
199 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
202 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
203 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
206 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
209 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
211 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
212 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
216 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
218 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
219 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
222 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
223 * More deprecations and renamings
224 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
225 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
226 when an object is constructed)
229 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
230 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
231 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
233 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
234 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
235 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
236 feature, and it works again.
239 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
241 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
243 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
244 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
245 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
247 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
248 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
249 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
250 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
251 message. Test provided by perigrin.
253 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
254 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
255 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
256 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
257 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
260 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
261 metaclass object. (hdp)
263 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
264 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
265 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
266 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
267 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
268 point out this fact. (hdp)
270 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
271 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
273 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
274 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
277 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
278 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
279 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
280 called during instance construction were passed the
281 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
282 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
284 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
285 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
288 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
289 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
290 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
293 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
294 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
295 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
296 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
297 them, but they are not for "public" use.
300 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
302 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
303 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
304 when an object is constructed)
305 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
307 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
308 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
309 when an object is constructed)
310 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
311 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
312 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
315 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
317 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
318 * No changes from 0.72_01.
320 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
322 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
323 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
324 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
326 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
327 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
328 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
330 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
332 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
333 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
335 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
336 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
339 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
340 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
343 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
344 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
345 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
347 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
348 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
352 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
353 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
354 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
356 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
357 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
360 * Moose::Manual::Delta
361 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
362 with recommended workarounds.
364 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
365 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
367 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
368 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
369 (yes, spelled like that).
371 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
372 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
375 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
376 changes in latest Class::MOP.
378 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
380 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
381 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
382 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
383 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
384 instead. Reported by doy.
386 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
388 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
389 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
391 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
392 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
393 message) is now deprecated.
394 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
395 often got it wrong. For example:
397 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
399 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
403 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
404 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
405 bite you in weird cases.
407 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
408 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
409 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
412 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
413 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
417 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
420 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
421 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
424 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
425 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
427 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
428 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
431 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
432 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
433 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
434 - added tests for this (stevan)
436 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
437 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
438 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
439 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
443 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
444 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
445 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
446 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
448 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
449 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
450 - added tests for this (rafl)
452 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
453 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
454 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
455 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
459 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
460 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
463 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
464 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
465 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
467 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
469 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
470 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
473 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
474 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
475 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
476 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
478 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
479 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
480 error message did not specify the attribute name
483 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
485 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
487 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
488 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
489 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
491 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
492 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
495 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
497 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
498 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
499 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
500 of fixes and formatting improvements.
502 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
504 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
505 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
506 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
507 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
509 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
510 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
511 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
513 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
514 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
515 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
516 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
517 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
519 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
520 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
521 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
522 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
523 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
525 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
526 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
527 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
528 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
529 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
530 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
532 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
533 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
534 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
535 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
536 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
537 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
539 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
540 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
542 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
543 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
544 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
545 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
547 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
548 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
551 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
555 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
556 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
558 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
559 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
560 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
563 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
564 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
565 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
567 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
568 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
569 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
570 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
573 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
576 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
577 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
579 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
581 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
584 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
585 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
586 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
587 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
588 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
589 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
591 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
592 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
593 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
594 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
595 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
596 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
597 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
598 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
599 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
600 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
602 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
604 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
605 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
607 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
608 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
609 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
610 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
612 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
613 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
614 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
615 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
616 same methods for a single role did not work
617 right (worked just fine with multiple
619 - added test for this (stevan)
621 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
622 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
623 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
626 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
627 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
628 - added test for this (t0m)
631 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
632 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
633 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
635 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
636 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
637 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
638 - added test for this (t0m)
640 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
641 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
642 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
643 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
644 - added test for this (perigrin)
647 - create method for constructing a role
649 - added test for this (Sartak)
650 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
651 - added test for this (Sartak)
654 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
656 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
657 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
658 methods is useful (Sartak)
660 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
661 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
662 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
666 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
667 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
668 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
669 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
670 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
671 - added tests for this (jdv79)
674 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
675 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
677 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
678 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
679 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
680 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
681 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
683 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
685 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
686 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
687 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
690 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
691 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
692 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
693 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
694 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
695 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
698 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
699 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
700 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
701 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
702 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
703 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
704 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
705 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
706 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
707 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
708 future. (jnapiorkowski)
710 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
711 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
714 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
715 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
716 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
717 type. (jnapiorkowski)
718 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
720 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
722 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
723 predicate, and link to more details sections in
724 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
726 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
727 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
729 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
730 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
731 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
732 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
735 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
736 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
738 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
740 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
741 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
744 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
745 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
748 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
749 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
750 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
751 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
753 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
754 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
756 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
757 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
758 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
759 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
760 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
761 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
762 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
763 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
765 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
766 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
767 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
769 * Roles and role application
770 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
771 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
772 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
773 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
774 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
776 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
777 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
780 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
781 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
782 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
783 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
784 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
787 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
788 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
789 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
790 changes in the Moose internals.
792 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
793 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
794 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
797 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
798 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
799 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
800 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
802 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
803 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
804 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
805 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
807 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
808 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
809 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
810 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
811 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
812 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
813 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
814 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
815 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
816 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
817 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
818 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
819 constraint implementations.
821 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
825 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
826 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
827 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
828 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
829 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
830 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
831 - added tests for this (rafl)
834 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
835 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
836 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
837 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
838 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
839 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
840 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
841 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
844 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
845 - added tests for this (thepler)
847 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
848 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
849 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
850 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
854 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
855 * Moose::Meta::Method
858 * Moose::Error::Default
859 * Moose::Error::Croak
860 * Moose::Error::Confess
861 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
862 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
863 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
864 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
865 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
866 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
868 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
870 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
871 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
874 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
875 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
876 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
878 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
879 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
880 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
881 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
882 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
885 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
886 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
888 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
889 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
890 several major changes in this release of Moose.
891 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
894 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
896 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
897 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
899 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
904 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
905 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.

909 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
910 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
911 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
912 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
913 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
914 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
916 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
917 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
918 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
920 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
921 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
922 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
925 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
926 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
927 dependency to 0.64_07.
929 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
930 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
931 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
933 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
934 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
937 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
938 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
939 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
940 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
941 coincidental exception. (t0m).
942 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
944 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
945 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
947 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
949 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
950 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
954 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
955 method when that method was provided by another role being
956 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
957 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
959 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
961 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
962 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
964 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
965 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
966 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
967 - added test for this (t0m)
969 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
970 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
971 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
973 - added test for this (t0m)
976 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
977 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
978 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
981 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
982 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
984 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
986 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
989 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
990 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
991 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
993 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
994 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
997 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
998 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
999 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1000 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1004 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1005 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1006 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1009 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1010 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1011 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1012 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1015 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1019 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1020 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1021 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1023 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1024 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1025 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are

1031 the type constraints (RT #37569)
1032 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
1034 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1035 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1038 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1039 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1041 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1042 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1043 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
1045 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1

1056 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1057 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1061 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1062 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1064 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1065 ... this is not my day today ...
1067 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1068 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1069 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1070 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1071 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1074 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1075 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1076 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1077 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1078 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1081 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1083 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1084 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1085 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1086 this is not ever something you want to do
1087 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1088 - added tests for this (stevan)
1091 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1093 - added test for this

1102 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
1104 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
1105 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1106 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1109 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1111 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1113 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1116 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1117 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1118 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1119 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1120 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1121 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1122 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1123 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1124 - added tests for this
1126 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1127 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1128 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1129 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
1131 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)

1146 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1147 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1148 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
1150 - Some null_constraint optimizations
1152 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
1153 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules

1162 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
1164 - added docs for this (TODO).
1165 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
1166 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
1167 Moose attributes which is "Moose"

1189 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1190 - move the ClassName type check code to
1191 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)

1194 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
1196 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1197 (early morning release engineering)--
1199 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1200 which was causing the indexer to choke
1202 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1203 (late night release engineering)--
1205 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
1206 changes in this release
1208 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
1209 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1210 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
1212 * Moose::Meta::Class
1213 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
1214 since it is called so often by &meta
1216 * Moose::Meta::Class
1218 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
1219 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
1222 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1223 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
1224 method for immutablization to check if the
1225 destructor object even needs to be created
1228 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1229 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1230 - added more descriptive error message to help
1231 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
1232 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
1234 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
1236 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
1237 XS based functionality is now optional
1238 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1239 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1240 can now be used to force non-XS versions
1242 - several of the packages have been tweaked
1243 to take care of this, mostly we added
1244 support for the package_name and name
1245 variables in all the Method metaclasses
1246 - before/around/after method modifiers now
1247 support regexp matching of names
1248 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1249 - tests added for this
1250 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
1251 is currently not supported in roles,
1252 but, ... patches welcome
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
1258 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1259 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1260 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1261 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
1262 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
1263 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
1264 - added test for this
1266 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1267 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
1268 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
1271 * Moose::Meta::Class
1272 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
1276 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
1278 - added tests for this
1279 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
1280 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1282 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1283 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
1284 themselves parameterizable types
1286 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1287 - fixed bug where trigger was not being
1288 called by the inlined immutable
1290 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
1292 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
1293 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
1294 (if possible) to create the anon-class
1295 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
1297 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
1298 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
1302 - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was
1303 causing occasional cpantester failures
1304 - renamed the t/000_recipe/*.t tests to be
1305 more descriptive (thanks to Sartak)
1307 0.44 Sat. May 10, 2008
1309 - made make_immutable warning cluck to
1310 show where the error is (thanks mst)
1313 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
1314 ->body when looping through the
1315 methods, to avoid the overloaded
1317 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
1318 eating the $@ values, and so not
1319 working correctly, it still kind of
1320 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
1321 - added tests for this
1323 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
1324 - added new recipe for immutable
1325 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)
1327 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe9
1328 - added new recipe for builder and
1329 lazy_build (thanks Dave Rolsky)
1331 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
1332 - added new recipe for method aliasing
1333 and exclusion with Roles (thanks Dave Rolsky)
1336 - fixed Win32 test failure (thanks spicyjack)
1338 ~ removed Build.PL and Module::Build compat
1339 since Module::Install has done that.
1341 0.43 Wed. April, 30, 2008
1343 drink more coffee before
1344 doing release engineering
1346 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
1347 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr
1348 modules. This fixes that.
1350 0.42 Mon. April 28, 2008
1351 - some bad tests slipped by, nothing else
1352 changed in this release (cpantesters++)
1354 - upped the Class::MOP dependency to 0.55
1355 since we have tests which need the C3
1358 0.41 Mon. April 28, 2008
1359 ~~ numerous documentation updates ~~
1361 - Changed all usage of die to Carp::croak for better
1362 error reporting (initial patch by Tod Hagan)
1364 ** IMPORTANT NOTE **
1365 - the make_immutable keyword is now deprecated, don't
1366 use it in any new code and please fix your old code
1367 as well. There will be 2 releases, and then it will
1373 - refactored the way inner and super work to avoid
1374 any method/@ISA cache penalty (nothingmuch)
1376 * Moose::Meta::Class
1377 - fixing &new_object to make sure trigger gets the
1378 coerced value (spotted by Charles Alderman on the
1380 - added test for this
1382 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1383 - immutable classes which had non-lazy attributes were calling
1384 the default generating sub twice in the constructor. (bug
1385 found by Jesse Luehrs, fixed by Dave Rolsky)
1386 - added tests for this (Dave Rolsky)
1387 - fix typo in initialize_body method (nothingmuch)

1397 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1398 - inherited attributes may now be extended without
1399 restriction on the type ('isa', 'does') (Sartak)
1400 - added tests for this (Sartak)
1401 - when an attribute property is malformed (such as lazy without
1402 a default), give the name of the attribute in the error
1404 - added the &applied_traits and &has_applied_traits methods
1405 to allow introspection of traits
1406 - added tests for this
1407 - moved 'trait' and 'metaclass' argument handling to here from
1409 - clone_and_inherit_options now handles 'trait' and 'metaclass' (has

1461 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
1463 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
1464 that come from recently composed roles. It makes

1754 - added tests for this
1757 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
1758 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

1801 when they encounter overriden or modified
1802 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
1803 - added tests for this
1805 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint

1813 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
1816 * Parameterized Types
1817 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
1818 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
1819 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
1820 They can also be nested:
1821 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
1822 And work with the type unions as well:
1823 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
1825 * Better Framework Extendability
1826 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
1827 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
1828 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
1829 section of the Moose.pm docs.
1832 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
1833 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
1834 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
1835 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

2083 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2084 - added test for this
2087 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2088 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2089 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2090 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2092 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2093 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2096 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2098 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2099 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2100 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2103 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2104 !! for this developer release to work !!
2106 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2107 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2108 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2109 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2110 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2111 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2112 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2113 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2114 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2115 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2116 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2118 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2119 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2120 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2121 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2124 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2125 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2126 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2127 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2128 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2130 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2132 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2133 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2136 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2137 called unless they actually need to be.
2138 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2139 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2140 DEMOLISH method present.
2142 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2143 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2144 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2145 type constraint, which allows for a
2146 hand optimized version of the type
2147 constraint to be used when possible.
2148 - Any internally created type constraints
2149 now provide an optimized version as well.
2151 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2153 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2154 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2155 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2157 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2158 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2159 your class namespace of these exported
2162 * Moose::Meta::Class
2163 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2164 comes up during global destruction
2166 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2170 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2173 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2174 - changed how we do type checks so that
2175 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2178 - moved accessor generation methods to
2179 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2180 conform to the API changes from
2183 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2184 - changed how constraints are compiled
2185 so that we do less recursion and more
2186 iteration. This makes the type check
2188 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2191 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2192 - created this from methods formerly found in
2193 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2195 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2196 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2198 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2199 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2201 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2202 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2204 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2206 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2207 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2208 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2209 - added tests for this
2210 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2211 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2212 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2213 - removed tests for this
2215 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2217 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2218 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2219 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2222 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2223 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2224 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2226 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2227 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2228 comments for more info.
2231 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2232 asked questions and common problems
2234 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2235 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2236 - added tests for this
2238 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2239 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2240 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2241 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2243 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2244 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2247 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2248 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2249 is much appreciated :)
2250 - added tests for this
2252 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2253 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2254 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2257 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2258 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2260 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2262 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2263 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2267 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2268 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2269 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2271 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2273 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2276 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2277 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2278 keywords because we need to localize them.
2279 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2281 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2282 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2283 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2286 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2289 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2290 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2291 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2294 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2295 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2296 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2298 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2300 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2301 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2302 bottom of your class file.
2305 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2308 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2310 - improved error message when loading modules so
2311 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2312 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2313 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2316 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2317 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2318 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2320 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2321 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2323 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2324 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2325 turn them on for you.
2326 - added tests for this
2327 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2328 in Moose::Meta::Class
2331 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
2332 automatically turned on for you.

2355 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2356 - This release works in combination with
2357 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2358 release because it uses the a new
2359 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2360 complete Role implementation. It has
2361 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2362 the the previous CPAN version. This
2363 release also lacks good updated docs,
2364 the official release will have updated docs.
2367 - refactored the keyword exports
2368 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2369 accepts more than one Role at a time
2370 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
2371 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
2374 - refactored the keyword exports
2375 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2376 accepts more than one Role at a time
2378 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2379 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
2380 string enumerations which can be used as
2382 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2385 - more careful checking of params to new()
2388 - much work done on the role composition
2389 - many new tests for conflict detection
2390 and composition edge cases
2391 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2392 looking at the tests
2394 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2395 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2396 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
2398 * Moose::Meta::Class

2401 - some small additions to support Roles
2403 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2404 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
2406 - some small changes to support the new
2408 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
2409 with the 'handles' option
2410 - added several tests for this
2411 - no docs for this yet
2413 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
2415 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2416 thanks to chansen for this commit
2417 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2418 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2419 on a per-attribute basis
2420 - added tests for this
2421 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2422 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
2423 experimental feature and probably not finished

2488 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
2490 - added test for this
2493 - this class can now be extended with 'use base' if
