+ [API CHANGES]
-[ENHANCEMENTS]
+ * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
+ constraint has a coercion defined. If it doesn't, an error will be thrown
+ when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
-* Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
- Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
+ * has '+foo' now has a blacklist rather than a whitelist for options which
+ can be legally inherited (doy, Tuomas Jormola).
+
+ * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method metohd. (Dave
+ Rolsky).
+
+ * All features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
+ Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
+ repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
+ these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
+ be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
+ Rolsky)
+
+ [NEW FEATURES]
+
+ * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
+ Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
+ explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
+ generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
+ safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
+ Rolsky)
+
+ * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
+
+ [BUG FIXES]
+
+ * Accessors will now not be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
+ inlinable (doy).
+
+ * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
+ constraint parser (doy, nothingmuch).
+
+ [ENHANCEMENTS]
+
+ * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined function
+ (not just method) (doy).
+
+ [OTHER]
+
+ * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
+ and aren't easily installable/testable.
+
+1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
+
+ [ENHANCEMENTS]
+
+ * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
+ to be overridden more easily (doy).
+
+1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
+
+ [BUG FIXES]
+
+ * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
+ classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
+
+1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
+
+ [NEW FEATURES]
+
+ * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
+ more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
+ constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
+
+1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
+
+ [API CHANGES]
+
+ * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
+ moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
+ (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
+
+ * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
+ Moose::Object::new. (doy)
+
+ [NEW FEATURES]
+
+ * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
+ Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
+
+ * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
+ classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
+
+ [BUG FIXES]
+
+ * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
+ is applied to a class (t0m).
+
+ * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
+ twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
+
+ * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
+ (rjbs).
+
+ * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
+ been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
+
+ * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
+ be much more robust. (doy)
+
+1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
+
+ * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
+ upload.
+
+1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
+
+ [NEW FEATURES]
+
+ * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
+ roles (Florian Ragwitz).
+
+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)
