+
+ [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)
+
+ [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)
+
+1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
+
+ [API CHANGES]
+
+ * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
+ "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
+ but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
+
+ * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
+ and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
+ these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
+ the attribute.
+
+ * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
+ generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
+ rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
+
+ * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
+ determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
+ to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
+
+ * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
+ class when you "use Moose". (doy)
+
+ [ENHANCEMENTS]
+
+ * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
+ be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
+ native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
+
+ * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
+ attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
+ reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
+ MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
+
+ * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
+
+ [BUG FIXES]
+
+ * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
+ was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
+ value is a reference.
+
+ * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
+ based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
+
+1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
+
+ [BUG FIXES]
+
+ * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
+ a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
+ MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
+
+1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
+
+ [API CHANGES]
+
+ * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
+ -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
+
+ [ENHANCEMENTS]
+
+ * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
+ the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
+ Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
+
+ * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
+ much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
+ uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
+
+1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
+
+ [BUG FIXES]
+
+ * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
+
+1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
+
+ [API CHANGES]
+
+ * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
+
+ * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
+ for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
+ code. (Dave Rolsky)
+
+ [BUG FIXES]
+
+ * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
+ which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
+
+ * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
+ constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
+ returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
+ always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
+ #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
+
+ * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
+ undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
+ the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
+ to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
+
+1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
+
+ [API CHANGES]
+
+ * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
+ issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
+ Rolsky)
+
+ [BUG FIXES]
+
+ * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
+
+ * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
+
+ * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
+ (Sartak)
+
+ [ENHANCEMENTS]
+
+ * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
+
+1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
+
+ [API CHANGES]
+
+ * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
+ constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
+ warning. (Dave Rolsky)
+
+ * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
+ overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
+ to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
+ allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
+
+ * Most 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)
+
+ * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (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).
+ * Accessors will no longer 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.
