+
+ * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
+ skips every other role. (rjbs)
+
+ * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
+ application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
+ and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. (doy, autarch)
+
+2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
+
+ [ENHANCEMENTS]
+
+ * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
+ that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
+ origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
+ definition context.
+
+ * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
+ installed.
+
+ [BUG FIXES]
+
+ * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
+
+ * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
+ builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
+
+2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
+
+ [ENHANCEMENTS]
+
+ * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
+ Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
+ possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
+
+ [BUG FIXES]
+
+ * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
+ older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
+
+ * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
+ documented to. (Chris Weyl)
+
+ * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
+ environments. (doy, mateu)
+

+ [API CHANGES]
+
+ * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
+ other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
+ Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
+ as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
+
+ [OTHER]
+
+ * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
+ allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).

+ [NEW FEATURES]
+
+ * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
+ which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
+ details. (Dave Rolsky)
+
+ * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
+ applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
+ not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
+ gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
+ the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
+
+ [BUG FIXES]
+
+ * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
+ application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
+ role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
+ role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
+ with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
+ them. (Dave Rolsky)

+
+ * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.

+
+1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
+
+ [BUG FIXES]
+
+ * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
+ trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
+ Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
+ There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
+
+ * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
+ immutable classes). (mo)
+
+ * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
+ preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
+ modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)

+
+ * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
+ future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
+ eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
+ current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
+ distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
+
+ * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
+ Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
+ Rolsky)
+
+ [API CHANGES]
+
+ * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
+ application to a class, rather than just using the class's
+ attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
+ applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
+
+ * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
+ etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
+ almost certainly need to be updated as well.
+
+ [ENHANCEMENTS]
+
+ * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
+ speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)

+1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
+
+ [BUG FIXES]
+
+ * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
+ type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
+ "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
+ based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave

+ * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either

+
+ * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
+ another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
+
+ [BUG FIXES]
+
+ * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
+ members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
+ reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
+ coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
+ method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
+ Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
+
+ * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
+ type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
+
+ * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
+ did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
+ error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
+ #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
+
+ * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
+ throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
+
+ * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT

+
+ * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
+ access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
+ delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)

+ [ENHANCEMENTS]
+
+ * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
+ now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
+ value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
+
+ * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
+ what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
+ Rolsky)
+
+ * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
+ than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
+ Rolsky)
+
+ * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
+ Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
+ experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
+
+ * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
+ dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
+ to. (mst).
+
+ [BUG FIXES]
+
+ * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
+ not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
+ String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
+ #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
+
+ * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
+ itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
+
+ * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
+ modifier sugar functions. (doy)
+
+ * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
+ requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
+ something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
+ KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
+
+ * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
+ package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
+ warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
+ Rolsky)
+
+ * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
+ any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
+ only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
+ gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
+
+ * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
+ deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
+ Rolsky)
+
+ * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
+ or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
