1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
5 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
6 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has no
7 associated methods, it will give a deprecation warning. (hdp)
8 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
9 associated_methods. (hdp)
11 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
13 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
14 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
16 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
17 * Moose::Manual::Types
18 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
19 string parsing rathole (mst)
21 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
22 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
23 using plain objects instead
26 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
31 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
32 three times today (perigrin)
33 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
34 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
36 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
37 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
38 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
39 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
42 - A role's required methods are now represented by
43 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
44 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
45 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
46 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
47 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
50 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
51 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
52 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
53 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
56 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
58 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
61 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
63 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
66 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
67 during global destruction. This method has been made more
68 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
72 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
73 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
76 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
77 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
79 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
80 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
81 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
84 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
86 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
87 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
90 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
94 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
95 methods during global destruction (doy)
98 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
99 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
103 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
104 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
107 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
108 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
111 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
112 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
114 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
116 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
120 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
121 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
122 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
125 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
126 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
127 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
130 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
132 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
133 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
134 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
137 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
138 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
139 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
140 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
142 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
143 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
144 of the Moose core (Sartak)
147 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
150 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
151 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
152 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
156 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
157 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
160 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
162 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
165 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
166 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
169 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
170 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
173 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
174 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
177 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
180 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
182 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
183 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
187 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
189 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
190 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
193 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
194 * More deprecations and renamings
195 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
196 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
197 when an object is constructed)
200 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
201 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
202 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
204 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
205 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
206 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
207 feature, and it works again.
210 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
212 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
214 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
215 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
216 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
218 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
219 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
220 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
221 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
222 message. Test provided by perigrin.
224 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
225 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
226 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
227 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
228 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
231 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
232 metaclass object. (hdp)
234 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
235 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
236 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
237 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
238 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
239 point out this fact. (hdp)
241 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
242 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
244 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
245 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
248 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
249 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
250 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
251 called during instance construction were passed the
252 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
253 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
255 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
256 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
259 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
260 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
261 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
264 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
265 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
266 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
267 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
268 them, but they are not for "public" use.
271 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
273 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
274 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
275 when an object is constructed)
276 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
278 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
279 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
280 when an object is constructed)
281 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
282 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
283 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
286 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
288 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
289 * No changes from 0.72_01.
291 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
293 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
294 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
295 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
297 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
298 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
299 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
301 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
303 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
304 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
306 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
307 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
310 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
311 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
314 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
315 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
316 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
318 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
319 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
323 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
324 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
325 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
327 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
328 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
331 * Moose::Manual::Delta
332 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
333 with recommended workarounds.
335 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
336 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
338 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
339 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
340 (yes, spelled like that).
342 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
343 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
346 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
347 changes in latest Class::MOP.
349 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
351 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
352 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
353 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
354 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
355 instead. Reported by doy.
357 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
359 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
360 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
362 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
363 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
364 message) is now deprecated.
365 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
366 often got it wrong. For example:
368 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
370 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
374 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
375 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
376 bite you in weird cases.
378 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
379 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
380 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
383 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
384 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
388 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
391 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
392 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
395 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
396 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
398 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
399 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
402 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
403 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
404 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
405 - added tests for this (stevan)
407 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
408 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
409 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
410 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
414 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
415 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
416 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
417 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
419 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
420 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
421 - added tests for this (rafl)
423 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
424 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
425 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
426 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
430 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
431 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
434 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
435 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
436 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
438 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
440 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
441 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
444 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
445 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
446 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
447 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
449 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
450 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
451 error message did not specify the attribute name
454 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
456 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
458 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
459 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
460 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
462 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
463 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
466 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
468 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
469 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
470 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
471 of fixes and formatting improvements.
473 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
475 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
476 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
477 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
478 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
480 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
481 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
482 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
484 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
485 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
486 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
487 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
488 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
490 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
491 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
492 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
493 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
494 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
496 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
497 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
498 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
499 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
500 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
501 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
503 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
504 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
505 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
506 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
507 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
508 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
510 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
511 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
513 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
514 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
515 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
516 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
518 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
519 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
522 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
526 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
527 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
529 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
530 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
531 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
534 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
535 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
536 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
538 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
539 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
540 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
541 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
544 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
547 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
548 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
550 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
552 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
555 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
556 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
557 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
558 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
559 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
560 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
562 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
563 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
564 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
565 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
566 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
567 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
568 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
569 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
570 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
571 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
573 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
575 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
576 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
578 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
579 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
580 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
581 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
583 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
584 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
585 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
586 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
587 same methods for a single role did not work
588 right (worked just fine with multiple
590 - added test for this (stevan)
592 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
593 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
594 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
597 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
598 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
599 - added test for this (t0m)
602 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
603 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
604 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
606 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
607 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
608 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
609 - added test for this (t0m)
611 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
612 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
613 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
614 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
615 - added test for this (perigrin)
618 - create method for constructing a role
620 - added test for this (Sartak)
621 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
622 - added test for this (Sartak)
625 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
627 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
628 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
629 methods is useful (Sartak)
631 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
632 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
633 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
637 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
638 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
639 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
640 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
641 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
642 - added tests for this (jdv79)
645 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
646 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
648 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
649 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
650 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
651 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
652 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
654 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
656 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
657 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
658 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
661 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
662 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
663 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
664 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
665 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
666 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
669 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
670 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
671 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
672 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
673 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
674 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
675 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
676 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
677 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
678 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
679 future. (jnapiorkowski)
681 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
682 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
685 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
686 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
687 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
688 type. (jnapiorkowski)
689 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
691 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
693 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
694 predicate, and link to more details sections in
695 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
697 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
698 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
700 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
701 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
702 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
703 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
706 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
707 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
709 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
711 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
712 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
715 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
716 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
719 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
720 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
721 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
722 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
724 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
725 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
727 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
728 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
729 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
730 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
731 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
732 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
733 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
734 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
736 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
737 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
738 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
740 * Roles and role application
741 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
742 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
743 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
744 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
745 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
747 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
748 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
751 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
752 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
753 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
754 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
755 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
758 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
759 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
760 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
761 changes in the Moose internals.
763 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
764 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
765 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
768 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
769 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
770 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
771 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
773 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
774 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
775 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
776 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
778 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
779 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
780 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
781 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
782 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
783 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
784 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
785 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
786 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
787 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
788 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
789 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
790 constraint implementations.
792 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
796 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
797 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
798 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
799 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
800 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
801 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
802 - added tests for this (rafl)
805 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
806 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
807 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
808 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
809 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
810 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
811 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
812 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
815 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
816 - added tests for this (thepler)
818 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
819 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
820 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
821 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
825 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
826 * Moose::Meta::Method
829 * Moose::Error::Default
830 * Moose::Error::Croak
831 * Moose::Error::Confess
832 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
833 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
834 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
835 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
836 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
837 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
839 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
841 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
842 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
845 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
846 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
847 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
849 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
850 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
851 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
852 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
853 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
856 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
857 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
859 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
860 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
861 several major changes in this release of Moose.
862 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
865 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
867 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
868 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
870 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
875 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
876 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.

880 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
881 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
882 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
883 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
884 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
885 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
887 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
888 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
889 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
891 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
892 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
893 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
896 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
897 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
898 dependency to 0.64_07.
900 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
901 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
902 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
904 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
905 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
908 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
909 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
910 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
911 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
912 coincidental exception. (t0m).
913 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
915 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
916 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
918 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
920 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
921 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
925 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
926 method when that method was provided by another role being
927 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
928 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
930 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
932 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
933 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
935 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
936 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
937 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
938 - added test for this (t0m)
940 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
941 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
942 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
944 - added test for this (t0m)
947 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
948 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
949 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
952 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
953 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
955 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
957 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
960 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
961 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
962 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
964 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
965 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
968 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
969 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
970 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
971 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
975 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
976 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
977 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
980 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
981 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
982 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
983 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
986 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
990 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
991 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
992 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
994 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
995 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

1012 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1013 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1014 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)

1033 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1035 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1036 ... this is not my day today ...
1038 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1039 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1040 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1041 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1042 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1045 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1046 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1047 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1048 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1049 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1052 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1054 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1055 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1056 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1057 this is not ever something you want to do
1058 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1059 - added tests for this (stevan)
1062 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1064 - added test for this

1076 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1077 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1080 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1082 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1084 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1087 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1088 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1089 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1090 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1091 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1092 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1093 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1094 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1095 - added tests for this
1097 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1098 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1099 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1100 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
1102 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)

1170 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1171 which was causing the indexer to choke
1173 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1174 (late night release engineering)--
1176 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
1177 changes in this release
1179 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
1180 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1181 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
1183 * Moose::Meta::Class
1184 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
1185 since it is called so often by &meta
1187 * Moose::Meta::Class
1189 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
1190 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
1193 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1194 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
1195 method for immutablization to check if the
1196 destructor object even needs to be created
1199 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1200 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1201 - added more descriptive error message to help
1202 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
1203 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
1205 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
1207 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
1208 XS based functionality is now optional
1209 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1210 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1211 can now be used to force non-XS versions
1213 - several of the packages have been tweaked
1214 to take care of this, mostly we added
1215 support for the package_name and name
1216 variables in all the Method metaclasses
1217 - before/around/after method modifiers now
1218 support regexp matching of names
1219 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1220 - tests added for this
1221 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
1222 is currently not supported in roles,
1223 but, ... patches welcome
1224 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1225 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1226 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1229 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1230 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1231 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1232 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
1233 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
1234 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
1235 - added test for this
1237 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1238 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
1239 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
1242 * Moose::Meta::Class

1247 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
1249 - added tests for this

1254 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
1255 themselves parameterizable types
1257 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1258 - fixed bug where trigger was not being
1259 called by the inlined immutable
1261 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
1263 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
1264 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
1265 (if possible) to create the anon-class
1266 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
1268 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
1269 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
1273 - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was
1274 causing occasional cpantester failures
1275 - renamed the t/000_recipe/*.t tests to be
1276 more descriptive (thanks to Sartak)
1278 0.44 Sat. May 10, 2008
1280 - made make_immutable warning cluck to
1281 show where the error is (thanks mst)
1284 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
1285 ->body when looping through the
1286 methods, to avoid the overloaded
1288 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
1289 eating the $@ values, and so not
1290 working correctly, it still kind of
1291 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
1292 - added tests for this
1294 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
1295 - added new recipe for immutable
1296 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)

1304 and exclusion with Roles (thanks Dave Rolsky)
1307 - fixed Win32 test failure (thanks spicyjack)
1309 ~ removed Build.PL and Module::Build compat
1310 since Module::Install has done that.
1312 0.43 Wed. April, 30, 2008
1314 drink more coffee before
1315 doing release engineering
1317 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
1318 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr
1319 modules. This fixes that.

1322 - some bad tests slipped by, nothing else
1323 changed in this release (cpantesters++)

1332 - Changed all usage of die to Carp::croak for better
1333 error reporting (initial patch by Tod Hagan)
1335 ** IMPORTANT NOTE **
1336 - the make_immutable keyword is now deprecated, don't
1337 use it in any new code and please fix your old code
1338 as well. There will be 2 releases, and then it will

1351 - added test for this
1353 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor

1376 to allow introspection of traits
1377 - added tests for this

1429 0.40 Fri. March 14, 2008
1430 - I hate Pod::Coverage
1432 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
1434 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
1435 that come from recently composed roles. It makes
1436 sense, people are using it, and so why not just
1437 officially support it.
1438 - fixing the 'extends' keyword so that it will not
1439 trigger Ovid's bug (http://use.perl.org/~Ovid/journal/35763)

1474 from a role, it works and makes sense too.
1476 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1477 - fix handles so that it doesn't return nothing
1478 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
1479 it ever did this originally, this means we now
1480 have slightly better support for AUTOLOADed
1482 - added more delegation tests
1483 - adding ->does method to this so as to better
1484 support traits and their introspection.
1485 - added tests for this

1725 - added tests for this
1728 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
1729 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

1768 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
1771 - fixed how required methods are handled
1772 when they encounter overriden or modified
1773 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
1774 - added tests for this
1776 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1777 - fixed the type notation parser so that
1778 the | always creates a union and so is
1779 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
1780 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
1782 - added more tests for this
1784 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
1787 * Parameterized Types
1788 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
1789 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
1790 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
1791 They can also be nested:
1792 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
1793 And work with the type unions as well:
1794 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
1796 * Better Framework Extendability
1797 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
1798 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
1799 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
1800 section of the Moose.pm docs.
1803 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
1804 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
1805 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
1806 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

2067 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2069 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2070 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2071 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2074 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2075 !! for this developer release to work !!
2077 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2078 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2079 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2080 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2081 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2082 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2083 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2084 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2085 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2086 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2087 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2089 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2090 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2091 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2092 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2095 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2096 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2097 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2098 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2099 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2101 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2103 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2104 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2107 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2108 called unless they actually need to be.
2109 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2110 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2111 DEMOLISH method present.
2113 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2114 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2115 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2116 type constraint, which allows for a
2117 hand optimized version of the type
2118 constraint to be used when possible.
2119 - Any internally created type constraints
2120 now provide an optimized version as well.
2122 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2124 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2125 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2126 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2128 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2129 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2130 your class namespace of these exported
2133 * Moose::Meta::Class
2134 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2135 comes up during global destruction
2137 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2141 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2144 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2145 - changed how we do type checks so that
2146 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2149 - moved accessor generation methods to
2150 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2151 conform to the API changes from
2154 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2155 - changed how constraints are compiled
2156 so that we do less recursion and more
2157 iteration. This makes the type check
2159 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2162 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2163 - created this from methods formerly found in
2164 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2166 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2167 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2169 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2170 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2172 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2173 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2175 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2177 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2178 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2179 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2180 - added tests for this
2181 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2182 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2183 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2184 - removed tests for this
2186 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2188 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2189 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2190 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2193 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2194 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2195 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2197 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2198 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2199 comments for more info.
2202 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2203 asked questions and common problems
2205 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2206 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2207 - added tests for this
2209 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2210 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2211 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2212 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2214 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2215 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2218 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2219 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2220 is much appreciated :)
2221 - added tests for this
2223 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2224 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2225 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2228 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2229 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2231 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2233 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2234 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2238 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2239 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2240 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2242 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2244 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2247 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2248 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2249 keywords because we need to localize them.
2250 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2252 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2253 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2254 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2257 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2260 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2261 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2262 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2265 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2266 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2267 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2269 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2271 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2272 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2273 bottom of your class file.
2276 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2279 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2281 - improved error message when loading modules so
2282 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2283 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2284 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2287 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2288 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2289 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2291 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2292 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2294 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2295 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2296 turn them on for you.
2297 - added tests for this
2298 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2299 in Moose::Meta::Class
2302 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
2303 automatically turned on for you.

2307 - now handles an edge case for override errors
2308 - added tests for this

2322 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
2325 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
2326 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2327 - This release works in combination with
2328 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2329 release because it uses the a new
2330 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2331 complete Role implementation. It has
2332 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2333 the the previous CPAN version. This
2334 release also lacks good updated docs,
2335 the official release will have updated docs.
2338 - refactored the keyword exports
2339 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2340 accepts more than one Role at a time
2341 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
2342 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
2345 - refactored the keyword exports
2346 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2347 accepts more than one Role at a time
2349 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2350 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
2351 string enumerations which can be used as
2353 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2356 - more careful checking of params to new()
2359 - much work done on the role composition
2360 - many new tests for conflict detection
2361 and composition edge cases
2362 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2363 looking at the tests
2365 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2366 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2367 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
2369 * Moose::Meta::Class
2370 - some small changes to support the new
2372 - some small additions to support Roles
2374 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2375 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
2377 - some small changes to support the new
2379 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
2380 with the 'handles' option
2381 - added several tests for this
2382 - no docs for this yet
2384 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
2386 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2387 thanks to chansen for this commit
2388 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2389 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2390 on a per-attribute basis
2391 - added tests for this
2392 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2393 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
2394 experimental feature and probably not finished
2395 see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
2396 more details, or ask about it on #moose
2397 - added tests for this
2400 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter

2412 construct_instance (for the better)
2414 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

2459 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
2461 - added test for this
2464 - this class can now be extended with 'use base' if
2465 you need it, it properly loads the metaclass class now
