1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010

  [BUG FIXES]

  * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
    an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)

  * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
    (Florian Ragwitz)

  * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
    the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
    behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)

  * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
    written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
    tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
    Arnfjörð Bjarmason)

  * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)

1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010

  [NEW FEATURES]

  * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
    plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)

  [OTHER]

  * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)

1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010

  [BUG FIXES]

  * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
    methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)

  [DOCUMENTATION]

  * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
    (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)

  [OTHER]

  * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)

0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010

  [NEW FEATURES]

  * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
    which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)

  [BUG FIXES]

  * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
    properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)

  [NEW DOCUMENTATION]

  * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
    release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)

0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010

  [BUG FIXES]

  * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
    cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
    instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)


0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010

  [BUG FIXES]

  * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
    the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
    unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
    metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).

0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010

  [NEW FEATURES]

  * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
    constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
    (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)

  [BUG FIXES]

  * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
    (Michael G. Schwern)

0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010

  [NEW FEATURES]

  * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
    a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
    method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)

  [ENHANCEMENTS]

  * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
    Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)

  * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
    Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
    with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
    result in an error.  (Dylan Hardison)

0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010

  [API CHANGES]

  * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.

  [ENHANCEMENTS]

  * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
    Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included

  - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
  - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
  - Moose::Util::does_role
  - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
  - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
  - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role

  Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)

  [BUG FIXES]

  * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
    work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
    method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)


0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010

  [BUG FIXES]

  * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
    C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)


0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010

 [BUG FIXES]

  * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
    testers. (Dave Rolsky)


0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010

  [API CHANGES]

  See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.

  * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
    class. (Dave Rolsky).

  * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
    between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
    Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)

  * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
    work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
    break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
    too. (Dave Rolsky)

  * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
    apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. Dave Rolsky>

  * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
    functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
    somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)

  [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]

  * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
    substr et al, again. (sorear)

  * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)

  * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
    jrey.

  * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
    easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)

  * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
    with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)

  * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
    if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
    test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
    dependencies installed.

  * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
    #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)


0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
    * Moose::Object
      - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
        warns. (doy)

    * Moose::Meta::Role
      - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)

    * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
      - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
        altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)

    * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
      - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
        just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
        future. (doy)
      - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
      - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)

    * Moose::Exporter
      - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
        main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
        others. (nothingmuch)

    * Moose::Meta::Attribute
      - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
        remove_accessors. (doy)

    * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
      - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
        avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)

    * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
      - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)

0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
    * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
      - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
        - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)

    * Moose::Meta::Class
      - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
        need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)

    * Moose::Meta::Attribute
      - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)

0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
    * Moose::Object
      - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
        with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
        (nothingmuch)

    * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
      - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
        fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
        an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
        KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)

0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
    * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
    * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
      - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
        methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
        methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
        declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)

    * Moose::Object
      - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
        sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
        this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
        be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
      - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
        Dave Rolsky)
      - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
        which were not receiving the value of
        Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
      - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
      - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
      - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
        issued. (perigrin)

    * Moose::Meta::Role
      - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
        summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
        and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
      - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
        method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
        Rolsky)

    * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
      - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
        the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
        - added tests for this (Stevan)

    * Moose::Meta::Class
      - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
        mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
        we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
        quite problematic.

0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
    * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
      - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)

    * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
      - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
        including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)

    * Moose::Exporter
      - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
        class if you pass it options for
        Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
        apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
        boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
      - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
        with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
      - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
        warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
      - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
        Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)

    * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
      - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
        the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
        happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
        aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
        Rolsky)

0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
    * Moose::Meta::Attribute
      - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
        existing delegation API. (hdp)

    * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
      - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
        Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
        MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
        (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
        Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
        perigrin, doy)

    * Moose::Error::Croak
    * Moose::Error::Confess
      - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
        modules. (Curtis Jewell)

    * Moose
      - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)

    * Moose::Exporter
      - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
        with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
        installing a broken sub. (doy)

    * Moose::Meta::Class
      - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
        ancestors. (doy)

0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
    * Moose::Manual::Attributes
      - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)

    * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
    * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
      - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
        unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
        reported by Ovid. (Sartak)

    * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
      - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)

    * Moose::Exporter
      - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
        does. (doy)
      - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
        arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)

    * Moose::Util
      - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
        aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)

    * Moose::Meta::Attribute
    * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
      - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
        attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)

    * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
      - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
        Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
        - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
          using it for new code!

    * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
    * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
      - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
        names for now, for backcompat) (doy)

0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
    * Moose::Manual::Contributing
      - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
        the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
        work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
        core committer before being applied to master. All releases
        are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
        stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)

    * Moose::Meta::Role
      - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
        classes.  (rafl)

    * Moose::Util::MetaRole
      - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
        classes. (rafl)

    * Moose::Meta::Attribute
      - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)

    * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
      - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
        non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)

0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
    * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
      - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
        delegation. This was changed in 0.86.

0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
    * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
      - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.

    * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
      - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
        attribute's accessor returns something defined but
        unblessed. (hdp)

0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
    * Moose::Meta::Attribute
      - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
        the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
        safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
        warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)

0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
    * Moose::Role
      - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
        roles. (doy)

    * Moose::Meta::Attribute
      - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
        no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
        warning. (hdp)
      - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
        associated_methods. (hdp)
      - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
        clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
      - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
        misspelled) arguments

    * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
      - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
        checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
        same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').

    * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
    * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
      - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
        (Sartak)
        - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
          (perigrin)

    * Moose::Meta::Attribute
      - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
        it is just a list of methods (Sartak)

    * Moose::Meta::Role
      - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
        no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).

0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
    * Moose::Meta::Class
      - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
        key in instances of anon classes. (doy)

0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
    * Moose::Manual::Types
      - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
        string parsing rathole (mst)

    * Moose::Manual::MooseX
      - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
        using plain objects instead

0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
    * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
      that's what we need.

0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
    * Moose::Manual::FAQ
      - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
        three times today (perigrin)
        - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
          would document this fast enough (perigrin)

    * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
      - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
        to prevent unnecessary introspection in
        Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL

    * Moose::*
      - A role's required methods are now represented by
        Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
        represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
        objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
        conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
        resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)

    * Moose::Role
      - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
        Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
      - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
        excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)

    * Tests
      - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
        (nothingmuch)
      - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
        (groditi)

0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
    * Tests
      - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.

    * Moose::Object
      - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
        during global destruction. This method has been made more
        resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
        collection order.

    * Moose::Exporter
      - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
        now acknowledges that (Sartak)

    * Moose
      - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
        the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)

0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
    * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
      - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ

    * Moose::Unsweetened
      - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened

    * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
      - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist

    * Moose::Exporter
      - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
        that use it (doy)

    * Moose::Object
      - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
        methods during global destruction (doy)

    * Moose::Meta::Class
    * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
      - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
        consumption (Sartak)

    * Moose::Meta::Class
      - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
        class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)

    * Moose::Meta::Role
      - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
        benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)

    * Tests
      - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
        warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.

0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
    * Moose::Meta::Role
      - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
        (perigrin)

    * Moose::Object
      - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
        or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
      - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
        (perigrin)

    * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
      - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
        modern Moose hackers (Sartak)

    * Makefile.PL
      - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.

0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
    * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
      - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
        constraint (hdp)

    * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
      - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
        an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
        forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)

    * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
      - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
        of the Moose core (Sartak)

    * Tests
      - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
        (Sartak)

0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
    * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
      - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
        consumes (Sartak)

    * Tests
      - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
        unconditionally dependency (Sartak)

    * Moose::Meta::Class
      - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.

0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
    * Moose
    * Moose::Meta::Class
      - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
        Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)

    * Moose::Util
      - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
        role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)

    * Moose::Exporter
      - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
        option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)

    * Moose::Meta::Role
      - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
        application.  (jdv)

0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
    * Moose::Meta::Role
    * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
      - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
        (Florian Ragwitz)

    * Moose::Meta::Class
      - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.

    * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
      - Removed the long-deprecated union method.


0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
    * More deprecations and renamings
      - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
        - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
          when an object is constructed)

    * Moose::Object
      - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
        destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
        not be properly called. Reported by t0m.

    * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
      - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
        is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
        feature, and it works again.

    * Moose::Util
      - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)

0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
    * Moose::*
      - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
        of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
        altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)

    * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
      - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
        pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
        message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
        message. Test provided by perigrin.

    * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
      - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
        can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
        suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
        - add tests and documentation (perigrin)

    * Moose
      - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
        metaclass object. (hdp)

    * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
    * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
    * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
    * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
      - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
        point out this fact. (hdp)

    * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
      - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.

    * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
      - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.

    * Moose::Meta::Class
    * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
      - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
        as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
        called during instance construction were passed the
        meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
        not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)

    * Moose::Manual::Attributes
      - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
        argument. (hdp)

    * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
      - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
        Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
        instead. (hdp)

    * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
      few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
      underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
      subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
      them, but they are not for "public" use.

      - Moose::Meta::Class
        - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility

      - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
        - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
          when an object is constructed)
        - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1

      - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
        - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
          when an object is constructed)
        - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
        - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
        - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)

      - Moose::Meta::Role
        - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method

0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
    * No changes from 0.72_01.

0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
    * Everything
      - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
        methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
        excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.

    * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
      - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
        exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:

         my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';

    * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
      - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.

    * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
      - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
        Greab.

    * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
      - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb

    * Moose::Exporter
      - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
        makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
        prototype. (Daisuke Maki)

    * Moose::Meta::Attribute
      - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
        attribute. (hdp)

    * Makefile.PL
      - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
        via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
        better off with it listed. (Sartak)

    * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
      - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
        Berlin)

    * Moose::Manual::Delta
      - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
        with recommended workarounds.

    * Moose::Manual::Contributing
      - Contributor's guide to Moose.

    * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
      - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
        (yes, spelled like that).

    * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
      - This is_needed method is now always a class method.

    * Moose::Meta::Class
      - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
        changes in latest Class::MOP.

0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
    * Moose::Object
    * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
      - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
        while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
        error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
        instead. Reported by doy.

0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
    * Moose::Cookbook
      - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
        them to display weird on search.cpan.org.

    * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
      - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
        message) is now deprecated.
      - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
        often got it wrong. For example:

         my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';

        This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
        expect.

    * Everywhere
      - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
        Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
        bite you in weird cases.

0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
    * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
      - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
        BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)

    * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
      - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
        Rolsky)

    * Moose::Exporter
      - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)

    * Tests
      - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
        the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)

    * Moose::Cookbook
      - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
        recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)

    * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
      - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
        Rolsky)

0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
    * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
      - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
        - added tests for this (stevan)

    * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
      - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
        defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
        - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
          (stevan)

    * Moose::Object
      - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
        define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
        DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
        - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)

    * Moose::Util::MetaRole
      - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
        - added tests for this (rafl)

    * Moose::Meta::Attribute
      - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
        argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
        while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
        still out of date.

    * Tests
      - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
        they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)

    * Documentation
      - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
        elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
        users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)

0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
    * Moose
      - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
        since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)

    * Moose::Cookbook::*
      - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
        documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
        pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
        from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)

    * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
      - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
        error message did not specify the attribute name
        properly. (doy)

0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
    * POD
      - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.

    * Moose::Manual::Attributes
      - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
        didn't resolve links from other documents properly.

    * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
      - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
        noticing this.

0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
    * Moose::Manual::*
      - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
        pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
        visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
        of fixes and formatting improvements.

0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
    * Moose::Manual
      - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
        provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
        features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
        from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)

    * Moose::Meta::Attribute
      - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
        use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)

    * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
      - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
        know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
        creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
        want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)

    * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
      - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
        but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
        cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
        before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)

    * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
      - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
        would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
        such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
        vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
        can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)

0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
    * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
      - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
        superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
        Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
        Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)

    * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
      - All methods are now documented. (gphat)

    * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
      - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
        validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
        not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)

    * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
      - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)

    * Moose
      - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
        section. (pjf)

    * Moose::Role
      - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
        declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)

    * Moose::Meta::Method::*
      - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
        file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
        guts. (nothingmuch).

0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
    * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
      - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)

    * Moose::Meta::Attribute
      - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
      - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
        and enhance extensibility (Sartak)

    * Moose::Meta::Class
      - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)

    * Moose
      - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
        sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)

0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
    * Moose::Unsweetened
      - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
        code. (Dave Rolsky)

0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
    * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
      - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
        methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
        methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
        Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)

    * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
      - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
        unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
        will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
        inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
        make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
        Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
      - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
        contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
        anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)

0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
    * Moose::Object
      - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
        and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)

    * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
      - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
        before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
        should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)

0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
    * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
      Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
      - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
        same methods for a single role did not work
        right (worked just fine with multiple
        roles) (stevan)
        - added test for this (stevan)

    * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
      - fixed the error message when trying to compose
        a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)

    * Moose::Exporter
      - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
        of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
        - added test for this (t0m)

    * Moose
      - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
        deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
        use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)

    * Moose::Meta::Attribute
      - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
        (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
        - added test for this (t0m)

    * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
      - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
        really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
        when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
        - added test for this (perigrin)

    * Moose::Meta::Role
      - create method for constructing a role
        dynamically (Sartak)
        - added test for this (Sartak)
      - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
        - added test for this (Sartak)

    * Moose::Role
      - more consistent error messages (Sartak)

    * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
      - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
        methods is useful (Sartak)

0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
    * Moose::Meta::Attribute
      - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
        (perigrin)

    * Moose::Meta::Class
      - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
        Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
        attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
        Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
        different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
        - added tests for this (jdv79)

    * Various
      - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
        RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)

    * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
    * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
      - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
        opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
        confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)

0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
    * Moose::Exporter
      - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
        exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
        - Tests for this bug. (t0m)

    * Moose::Util
      - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
        load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
        simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
      - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
        of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
        Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
        (t0m)

    * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
      - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
        shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
        them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
        way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
      - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
        delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
        hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
        Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
        much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
        future. (jnapiorkowski)

    * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
      - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
        (jnapiorkowski)

    * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
      - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
        to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
        type. (jnapiorkowski)
        - added tests (jnapiorkowski)

0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
    * Moose
      - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
        predicate, and link to more details sections in
        Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)

    * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
      - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)

    * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
      - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
        message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
        work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)

    * Tests
      - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
        with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
        Rolsky)
      - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
        lazy_build. (t0m)
      - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
        kinds of supported type. (t0m)

    * Moose::Meta::Class
      - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
        - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
          a required attribute

    * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
    * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
      - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
        other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)

    * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
      - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)

    * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
      - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
        types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
        apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
        can no longer parse structured type constraints like
        ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
        supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
        time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)

0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
    !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
    !! how roles add methods to a class !!

    * Roles and role application
      ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
        alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
        object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
        now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
        role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.

        This means that methods added by a role now show up when
        looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)

    * Makefile.PL
      - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
        conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
        installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
        - MooseX::Singleton        <= 0.11
        - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
        - Fey::ORM                 <= 0.10

        In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
        most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
        extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
        changes in the Moose internals.

    * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
    * Moose::Meta::Attribute
      - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
        Rolsky)

    * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
      - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
        for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
        new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)

    * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
      - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
        the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
        whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)

    * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
      - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
        the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
      - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
        stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
      - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
        parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
      - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
        all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
      - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
        match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
        constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
        constraint implementations.

    * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)

    * Moose::Exporter
    * Moose
      - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
        exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
        Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
        cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
        functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
        always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
        - added tests for this (rafl)

    * Moose::Meta::Class
      - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
        too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
        less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
        now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
        Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
        classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
        subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
      - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)

    * Moose::Meta::Role
      - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
        - added tests for this (thepler)

    * Moose::Util::MetaRole
      - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
        metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
        that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
        default.

    * Moose::Meta::Class
    * Moose::Meta::Attribute
    * Moose::Meta::Method
    * Moose
    * Moose::Object
    * Moose::Error::Default
    * Moose::Error::Croak
    * Moose::Error::Confess
      - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
        C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
        constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
        addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
        The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
        the behavior is not visibly different for end users.

0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
    * Moose::Intro
      - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
        "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)

    * Moose::Unsweetened
      - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
        without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
        Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)

    * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
      - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
        accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
        type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
        - added tests (jnapiorkowski)

    * Moose::Exporter
      - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
        remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)

0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
    For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
    several major changes in this release of Moose.
      ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
        docs for details.

      - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.

      - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
        Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.

      - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
        cookbook sections.

      - Various bug fixes.

    * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
      Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.

    * Require Class::MOP 0.65.

0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
    * Moose::Util::MetaRole
    * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
      - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
        well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
        using this module. (Dave Rolsky)

    * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
      - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
        extensions (Dave Rolsky)

    * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
    * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
      - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
        respectively.

0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
    * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
      dependency to 0.64_07.

0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
    * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
      - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)

    * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
      - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
        found (t0m).

    * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
      - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
        return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
        type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
        coincidental exception. (t0m).
        - added docs & test for this (t0m)

    * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
      - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
        not supplied (t0m).
        - added docs & test for this (t0m)

    * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
      - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
        (t0m)

    * Moose::Meta::Role
      - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
        method when that method was provided by another role being
        composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
        - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)

0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008

    !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now         !!
    !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!

    * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
      - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
        or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
        - added test for this (t0m)

    * Moose::Meta::Attribute
      - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
        coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
        coerce. (t0m)
        - added test for this (t0m)

    * Moose::Exporter
      - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
        modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
        much easier. (Dave Rolsky)

    * Moose
    * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
      - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):

          use Moose -traits => 'Foo'

        This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
        easier (Dave Rolsky)

    * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
      - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
        editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)

    * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
      - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)

    * Moose
    * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
    * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
      - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
        recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)

    * Moose
    * Moose::Role
      - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
        package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
        main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)

    * Moose::Role
      - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
        can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
        Rolsky and nothingmuch)
      - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)

    * Moose::Meta::Role
      - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
        (nothingmuch)

    * many modules
      - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
        refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
        constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)

0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
    * Moose::Meta::Attribute
      - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
        created so that the process can be more easily
        overridden by subclasses (stevan)

    * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
      - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
        the type constraints (RT #37569)
        - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)

    * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
      - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)

    * Moose::Cookbook
      - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
        Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)

    * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
      - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
        in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)

    * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
      - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
        your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)

    * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
      - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)

    * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
      - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
        class (Dave Rolsky)

    * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
      - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
        Rolsky)

    * all documentation
      - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
        Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)

0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
    ... this is not my day today ...

    * Moose::Meta::Attribute
      - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
        clone_and_inherit options still works for
        Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
        does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
        (stevan)

0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
    * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
      actually releasing the module. No actual changes
      in this release, except the fact that it includes
      the changes that I didn't include in the last
      release. (stevan--)

0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
    * Moose
      - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
        to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
      - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
        this is not ever something you want to do
        (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
        - added tests for this (stevan)

    * Moose::Object
      - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
        (nothingmuch)
        - added test for this

    * Moose::Meta::Attribute
      - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
        - added tests for this (wreis)

    * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
      - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
        not have been released yet. Added some more examples
        to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)

    * Moose::Cookbook::Style
      - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
        cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)

    * t/
      - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)

0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
    * Moose::Role
      - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
        something (sartak)

    * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
      - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
        order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
        added to the list of required methods for consumers of
        RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
        required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
        provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
        of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
        - added tests for this

    * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
      - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
        an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
        unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
        dew. (Dave Rolsky)
        - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)

    * Moose::Meta::Attribute
      - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
        - added tests for this (sartak)
      - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
        install_delegation method (Stevan)

    * Moose::Object
      - Added BUILDARGS, a new step in new()

    * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
      - fix typos no one ever sees (sartak)

    * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
    * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
    * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
      - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
        (not yet fixed)
      - Some null_constraint optimizations

0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
    - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
      to 0.50.

0.49 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
    !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
    !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.59 !!

    * Moose::Meta::Attribute
      - fixed how the is => (ro|rw) works with
        custom defined reader, writer and accessor
        options.
        - added docs for this (TODO).
        - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
      - added the custom attribute alias for regular
        Moose attributes which is "Moose"
      - fix builder and default both being used
        (groditi)

    * Moose
      Moose::Meta::Class
      Moose::Meta::Attribute
      Moose::Meta::Role
      Moose::Meta::Role::Composite
      Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
      - switched usage of reftype to ref because
        it is much faster

    * Moose::Meta::Role
      - changing add_package_symbol to use the new
        HASH ref form

    * Moose::Object
      - fixed how DEMOLISHALL is called so that it
        can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
        - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)

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

    * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
      - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)

0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
    (early morning release engineering)--

    - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
      which was causing the indexer to choke

0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
    (late night release engineering)--

    - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
      changes in this release

0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
    !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
    !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!

    * Moose::Meta::Class
      - some optimizations of the &initialize method
        since it is called so often by &meta

    * Moose::Meta::Class
      Moose::Meta::Role
      - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
        updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
        faster

    * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
      - is_needed can now also be called as a class
        method for immutablization to check if the
        destructor object even needs to be created
        at all

    * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
      Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
      - added more descriptive error message to help
        keep people from wasting time tracking an error
        that is easily fixed by upgrading.

0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
    * Moose
      - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
        XS based functionality is now optional
        and a Pure Perl version is supplied
        - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
          can now be used to force non-XS versions
          to always be used
        - several of the packages have been tweaked
          to take care of this, mostly we added
          support for the package_name and name
          variables in all the Method metaclasses
      - before/around/after method modifiers now
        support regexp matching of names
        (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
        - tests added for this
        - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
          is currently not supported in roles,
          but, ... patches welcome
      - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
        by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
        the stack trace is usually not helpful

    * Moose::Role
      - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
        by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
        the stack trace is usually not helpful
      - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
        same array ref form that Moose.pm does
        (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
        - added test for this

    * Moose::Meta::Attribute
      - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
        error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
        constructor

    * Moose::Meta::Class
      - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
        Class::MOP 0.57

    * Moose::Util
      - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
        more gracefully
        - added tests for this
      - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
        (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)

    * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
      - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
        themselves parameterizable types

    * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
      - fixed bug where trigger was not being
        called by the inlined immutable
        constructors
        - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)

    * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
      - now uses the metaclass of the instance
        (if possible) to create the anon-class
        (thanks Jonathan Rockway)

    * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
      - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
        (thanks to Sartak)

    * t/
      - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was
        causing occasional cpantester failures
      - renamed the t/000_recipe/*.t tests to be
        more descriptive (thanks to Sartak)

0.44 Sat. May 10, 2008
    * Moose
      - made make_immutable warning cluck to
        show where the error is (thanks mst)

    * Moose::Object
      - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
        ->body when looping through the
        methods, to avoid the overloaded
        method call.
      - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
        eating the $@ values, and so not
        working correctly, it still kind of
        eats them, but so does vanilla perl
        - added tests for this

    * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
      - added new recipe for immutable
        functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)

    * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe9
      - added new recipe for builder and
        lazy_build (thanks Dave Rolsky)

    * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
      - added new recipe for method aliasing
        and exclusion with Roles (thanks Dave Rolsky)

    * t/
      - fixed Win32 test failure (thanks spicyjack)

    ~ removed Build.PL and Module::Build compat
      since Module::Install has done that.

0.43 Wed. April, 30, 2008
    * NOTE TO SELF:
        drink more coffee before
        doing release engineering

    - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
      and we broke some of the custom meta-attr
      modules. This fixes that.

0.42 Mon. April 28, 2008
    - some bad tests slipped by, nothing else
      changed in this release (cpantesters++)

    - upped the Class::MOP dependency to 0.55
      since we have tests which need the C3
      support

0.41 Mon. April 28, 2008
    ~~ numerous documentation updates ~~

    - Changed all usage of die to Carp::croak for better
      error reporting (initial patch by Tod Hagan)

    ** IMPORTANT NOTE **
    - the make_immutable keyword is now deprecated, don't
      use it in any new code and please fix your old code

    - I hate Pod::Coverage

0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
    * Moose
      - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
        that come from recently composed roles. It makes
        sense, people are using it, and so why not just
        officially support it.
      - fixing the 'extends' keyword so that it will not
        trigger Ovid's bug (http://use.perl.org/~Ovid/journal/35763)

    * oose
      - added the perl -Moose=+Class::Name feature to allow
        monkeypatching of classes in one liners

    * Moose::Util
      - fixing the 'apply_all_roles' keyword so that it will not
        trigger Ovid's bug (http://use.perl.org/~Ovid/journal/35763)

        ARRAY ref instead of the $name => @values. Everything else
        works as before.
        - added tests for this

    * t/
      - making test for using '+name' on attributes consumed
        from a role, it works and makes sense too.

    * Moose::Meta::Attribute
      - fix handles so that it doesn't return nothing
        when the method cannot be found, not sure why
        it ever did this originally, this means we now
        have slightly better support for AUTOLOADed
        objects
        - added more delegation tests
      - adding ->does method to this so as to better
        support traits and their introspection.

0.34 Mon. Jan. 21, 2008
    ~~~ more misc. doc. fixes ~~~
    ~~ updated copyright dates ~~

    Moose is now a postmodern object system :)
      - (see the POD for details)

    * <<Role System Refactoring>>
    - this release contains a major reworking and
      cleanup of the role system
      - 100% backwards compat.
      - Role application now restructured into seperate
        classes based on type of applicants
      - Role summation (combining of more than one role)
        is much cleaner and anon-classes are no longer
        used in this process
      - new Composite role metaclass
      - runtime application of roles to instances
        is now more efficient and re-uses generated
        classes when applicable

    * <<New Role composition features>>
      - methods can now be excluded from a given role
        during composition
      - methods can now be aliased to another name (and
        still retain the original as well)

    * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::OptimizedConstraints
      - added this module (see above)

    * Moose::Meta::Class
      - fixed the &_process_attribute method to be called

    * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
      Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
      Moose::Meta::Attribute
      Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
      Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
      - lots of cleanup of such things as:
        - generated methods
        - type constraint handling
        - error handling/messages
        (thanks to nothingmuch)

    * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
      - added this module to support the refactor
        in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized

    * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized
      - refactored how these types are handled so they
        are more generic and not confined to ArrayRef
        and HashRef only

    * t/
      - shortened some file names for better VMS support (RT #32381)

0.33 Fri. Dec. 14, 2007
    !! Moose now loads 2 x faster !!
    !!  with new Class::MOP 0.49  !!

    ++ new oose.pm module to make command line
       Moose-ness easier (see POD docs for more)

    * Moose::Meta::Class

        HashRef for containers (sartak)
        - added tests for this

    * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
      - coercions will now create subtypes as needed
        so you can now add coercions to parameterized
        types without having to explictly define them
        - added tests for this

    * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
      - allow subclasses to decide whether we need
        to copy the value into a new variable (sartak)

0.32 Tues. Dec. 4, 2007
    * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints

        they should inherit the parent's coercion
        - added tests for this
      - you can now define multiple coercions on
        a single type at different times instead of
        having to do it all in one place
        - added tests for this

    * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
      - there is now a default constraint of sub { 1 }
        instead of Moose::Util::TypeConstraints setting
        this for us

    * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
    * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
      - added the &has_coercion_for_type and
        &add_type_coercions methods to support the
        new features above (although you cannot add
        more type coercions for Union types)

0.31 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
    * Moose::Meta::Attribute
      - made the +attr syntax handle extending types with
        parameters. So "has '+foo' => (isa => 'ArrayRef[Int]')"
        now works if the original foo is an ArrayRef.
        - added tests for this.
      - delegation now works even if the attribute does not
        have a reader method using the get_read_method_ref
        method from Class::MOP::Attribute.
        - added tests for this
        - added docs for this

    * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
      - passing no "additional attribute info" to
        &find_or_create_type_constraint will no longer
        attempt to create an __ANON__ type for you,
        instead it will just return undef.
        - added docs for this

0.30 Fri. Nov. 23, 2007

        attribute had a builder, no value and was not lazy the
        builder default was not getting run, oops. (groditi)

0.29 Tues. Nov. 13, 2007

    * fixing some misc. bits in the docs that
      got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks

    * Moose::Meta::Role
      - fixed how required methods are handled
        when they encounter overriden or modified
        methods from a class (thanks to confound).
        - added tests for this

    * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
      - fixed the type notation parser so that
        the | always creates a union and so is
        no longer a valid type char (thanks to
        konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
        this one out.)
        - added more tests for this

0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
    == New Features ==

    * Parameterized Types
      We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
          ArrayRef[Int]    # array or integers
          HashRef[Object]  # a hash with object values
      They can also be nested:
          ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
      And work with the type unions as well:
          ArrayRef[Int | Str]  # array of integers of strings

    * Better Framework Extendability
      Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
      easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
      and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
      section of the Moose.pm docs.

    * Moose Snacks!
      In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
      details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
      created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
      small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

    ====
    ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~

    - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
      Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)

      - This contains Moose specific test functions
        - added tests for these

0.24 Tues. July 3, 2007
    ~ Some doc updates/cleanup ~

    * Moose::Meta::Attribute
      - added support for roles to be given as parameters
        to the 'handles' option.
        - added tests and docs for this
      - the has '+foo' attribute form now accepts changes to
        the lazy option, and the addition of a handles option
        (but not changing the handles option)
        - added tests and docs for this

    * Moose::Meta::Role
      - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
        so that required methods can come from superclasses
        - adjusted tests for this

0.23 Mon. June 18, 2007
    * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
      - fix inlined constructor for hierarchy with multiple BUILD methods (mst)
    * Moose::Meta::Class
      - Modify make_immutable to work with the new Class::MOP immutable
        mechanism + POD + very basic test (groditi)
    * Moose::Meta::Attribute
      - Fix handles to use goto() so that caller() comes out properly on
        the other side (perigrin)

0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
    * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
      - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
        loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
        prototypes for functions
      - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
        which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).
        - added tests and docs for this
      - subtyping just in name now works correctly by making the
        default for where be { 1 }
        - added test for this

    * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
      - coerce and lazy now work together correctly, thanks to
        merlyn for finding this bug
        - tests added for this
      - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests

    * Moose::Object
      - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
        a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
        having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
        - added tests for this

0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
    * Moose
      - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport
      - modified unimport to remove super and inner along with the rest
        - altered unimport tests to handle this

    * Moose::Role
      - altered super export to populate SUPER_SLOT

    * Moose::Meta::Class
      - altered augment and override modifier application to use *_SLOT
        - modified tests for these to unimport one test class each to test

    * Moose::Meta::Role
      - fixed issue where custom attribute metaclasses
        where not handled correctly in roles
        - added tests for this

    * Moose::Meta::Class
      - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
        roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
        finding this insidious error, and it's solution.

    ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
       many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)

0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
    >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
       so this release is just to fix that.

    * Moose
      - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
        to create multiple attrs (see docs)
        (thanks to konobi for this)
         - added tests and docs

0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
    ~~ More documentation updates ~~

    * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
      - 'type' now supports messages as well
        thanks to phaylon for finding this
        - added tests for this
      - added &list_all_type_constraints and
        &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
        functions to facilitate introspection.

    * Moose::Meta::Attribute
      - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
        to build the list of delegated methods
        correctly (and not override important
        things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
        for finding this
        - added tests and docs for this
      - added the 'documentation' attributes
        so that you can actually document your
        attributes and inspect them through the
        meta-object.
        - added tests and docs for this

    * Moose::Meta::Class
      - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
        it will first look in for the class in the
        Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
        then default to just loading $name.
        - added tests and docs for this

    * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
      - type constraints now stringify to their names.
        - added test for this

    * misc.
      - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
      - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
        test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
        - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)

0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
    ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~

    * misc.
      - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
        load all classes.
      - added tests to show types and subtypes
        working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
        and Test::Deep as constraint engines.

0.18_001
    !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001  !!
    !! for this developer release to work !!

    This release was primarily adding the immutable
    feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
    you promise not to alter. When you set the class
    as immutable it will perform various bits of
    memoization and inline certain part of the code
    (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
    minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
    one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
    feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
    It has several configurable bits as well, so you
    can pick and choose to your specific needs.

    The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
    highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
    I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
    truely interested in what was changed, please do
    a diff :)

0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
    * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
      - bugfix for read-only accessors which
        are have a type constraint and lazy.
        Thanks to chansen for finding it.

0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
    ++ NOTE ++
    There are some speed improvements in this release,
    but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.

    * Moose::Object
      - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
        called unless they actually need to be.
        This gave us a signifigant speed boost
        for the cases when there is no BUILD or
        DEMOLISH method present.

    * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
    * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
      - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
        type constraint, which allows for a
        hand optimized version of the type
        constraint to be used when possible.
      - Any internally created type constraints
        now provide an optimized version as well.

0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
    ++ NOTE ++
    This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
    to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
    been made in order to be compatible with that release.

    * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
      - added &unimport so that you can clean out
        your class namespace of these exported
        keywords

    * Moose::Meta::Class
      - fixed minor issue which occasionally
        comes up during global destruction
        (thanks omega)
      - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
        its own file.

    * Moose::Meta::Role
      - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
        its own file.

    * Moose::Meta::Attribute
      - changed how we do type checks so that
        we reduce the overall cost, but still
        retain correctness.
       *** API CHANGE ***
      - moved accessor generation methods to
        Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
        conform to the API changes from
        Class::MOP 0.36

    * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
      - changed how constraints are compiled
        so that we do less recursion and more
        iteration. This makes the type check
        faster :)
      - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
        into its own file

    * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
      - created this from methods formerly found in
        Moose::Meta::Attribute

    * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
      - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role

    * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
      - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class

    * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
      - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint

0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006

    * Moose::Meta::Attribute
      - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
        checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
        - added tests for this
      - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
        automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
        broke predicates in an ugly way.
        - removed tests for this

0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
    ++ NOTE ++
    This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
    to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
    been made in order to be compatible with that release.

    * Moose
      - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
        symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
        (thanks Adam Kennedy)

      **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
      - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
        comments for more info.

    * Moose::Cookbook
      - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
        asked questions and common problems

    * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
      - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
        - added tests for this

    * Moose::Meta::Attribute
      - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
        not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
        This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
        as well.
      - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
        - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)

    * Moose::Meta::Role
      - added basic support for runtime role composition
        but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
        is much appreciated :)
        - added tests for this

    * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
      - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
        through delegation, this is to support the coercion
        of unions

    * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
      - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
        on a type union
        - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)

    * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
      - properly capturing error when type constraint
        is not found

    * Build.PL
      - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
        only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
        (thanks Adam Kennedy)

0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
    * Moose::Cookbook
      - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written

    * Moose
      - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
      - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
        keywords because we need to localize them.
      - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)

      **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
      - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
        just sugar, and they may not stay around.

    * Moose::Object
      - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
        an object

    * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
      - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
        and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)

    * Moose::Meta::Role
      - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
        creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
        - fixed tests to reflect this change

0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
    * Moose
      - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
        that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
        bottom of your class file.

    * t/
      - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
        dependency.

0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
    * Moose
      - improved error message when loading modules so
        it is less confusing when you load a role.
      - added &calculate_all_roles method to
        Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role

    NOTE:
    This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
    but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
    it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)

0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
    ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
    * Moose
      - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
         needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
         turn them on for you.
         - added tests for this
      - moved code from exported subs to private methods
        in Moose::Meta::Class

    * Moose::Role

      - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
      - updated docs

0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
    ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
      - This release works in combination with
        Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
        release because it uses the a new
        instance sub-protocol and a fairly
        complete Role implementation. It has
        not yet been optimized, so it slower
        the the previous CPAN version. This
        release also lacks good updated docs,
        the official release will have updated docs.

    * Moose
      - refactored the keyword exports
        - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
          accepts more than one Role at a time
        - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
           needed to ensure metaclass compatibility

    * Moose::Role
      - refactored the keyword exports
        - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
          accepts more than one Role at a time

    * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
      - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
        string enumerations which can be used as
        type constraints
        - see example of usage in t/202_example.t

    * Moose::Object
      - more careful checking of params to new()

    * Moose::Meta::Role
      - much work done on the role composition
        - many new tests for conflict detection
          and composition edge cases
        - not enough documentation, I suggest
          looking at the tests

    * Moose::Meta::Instance
      - added new Instance metaclass to support
        the new Class::MOP instance protocol

    * Moose::Meta::Class
      - some small changes to support the new
        instance protocol
      - some small additions to support Roles

    * Moose::Meta::Attribute
      - some improvements to the accessor generation code
        by nothingmuch
      - some small changes to support the new
        instance protocol
      - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
        with the 'handles' option
        - added several tests for this
        - no docs for this yet

0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
    * Moose
      - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
        thanks to chansen for this commit
      - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
        to support custom attribute meta-classes
        on a per-attribute basis
        - added tests for this
      - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
        specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
        experimental feature and probably not finished
        see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
        more details, or ask about it on #moose
        - added tests for this

    * Moose::Role

        - added tests for this

    * Moose
      - Moose no longer creates a subtype for your class
        if a subtype of the same name already exists, this

      - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
        being reported
        - added test for this

    * Moose::Object
      - this class can now be extended with 'use base' if
        you need it, it properly loads the metaclass class now
        - added test for this

0.03_02 Wed. April 12, 2006

    * Moose
      - many more tests, fixing some bugs and
        edge cases
      - &extends now loads the base module with
        UNIVERSAL::require

      - type construction no longer creates a
        function, it registers the type instead.
        - added several functions to get the
          registered types

    * Moose::Object
      - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL were broken
        because of a mis-named hash key, Whoops :)

    * Moose::Meta::Attribute
      - adding support for coercion in the
        autogenerated accessors

    * Moose::Meta::Class
      - adding support for coercion in the
        instance construction

    * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
    * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
          - type constraints and coercions are now
            full fledges meta-objects
