+ * Moose::Meta::Role
+ - Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
+ class. (Dave Rolsky).
+
+ * Moose::Util::MetaRole
+ - 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)
+
+ * Moose::Exporter
+ - The unimport subs it generates now clean up re-exported functions like
+ blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from somewhere
+ else too. (rafl)
+
+ * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
+ - Changed 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)
+
+ * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
+ - This recipe was broken. Fix suggested by jrey.
+
+ * oose.pm
+ - Add Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports to allow easier testing
+ of TypeConsraints from the command line. (perigrin)
+
+ * Test::Moose
+ - Added a with_immutable test function, to run a block of tests with and
+ without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
+
+ * Makefile.PL
+ - Use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors if
+ they're not installed
+ - Use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop test extraction and general
+ failures if you don't have the author side dependencies installed
+
+ * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
+ - Grammar error [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
- - The new error condition was laxened to allow class names.
+ - 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
- 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
- mispelled) arguments
+ misspelled) arguments
* Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
- Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
that's what we need.
0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
- * Moose::Manual::FAQ
+ * 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
