+
+ [BUG FIXES]
+
+ * Ensure that the Moose::Exporter-generated init_meta returns the same value
+ that it did previously. This isn't really a bug, since the return value has
+ never been tested or documented, but since the generated init_meta is
+ nothing more than a compatibility shim at this point, there's no reason to
+ not make it as compatible as possible. Reported by Moritz Onken. (doy)
+
+2.0601 Tue, May 01, 2012
+
+ [BUG FIXES]
+
+ * Fix init_meta order when multiple also packages are specified (this matters
+ when one of them is being used to actually initalize the metaclass,
+ typically with also => 'Moose'). Reported by Randy Stauner. (doy)

+
+ * The Test::DependentModules test now covers a much wider range of downstream
+ dependents (all of them in fact, for some definition of "all"). This should
+ allow us to track inadvertent backwards compatibility breakages much more
+ effectively. (doy)

+ * A few test tweaks to avoid spurious failures. (doy)

+2.0500-TRIAL Tue, Apr 03, 2012
+
+ [NEW FEATURES]
+
+ * Class::MOP::Class now has methods for introspecting and modifying the
+ overloaded operators for a class. (doy)
+
+ [ENHANCEMENTS]
+
+ * The cookbook recipes have all been renamed. Instead of numbered recipes
+ (Basics::Recipe1), we now have descriptive names
+ (Basics::Point_AttributesAndSubclassing). This makes it easier for us to
+ add and remove recipes in the future, and makes it a little easier to
+ converse about them, since the name gives us some clue of what they
+ contain.
+
+ [BUG FIXES]
+
+ * Re-declaring a class_type or role_type constraint that has already been
+ declared now just returns the original type constraint, rather than
+ replacing the original constraint and ergo losing any coercions that were
+ on the original constraint. Fixes RT #73289. (t0m)
+
+ * Moose::Exporter now calls init_meta methods in the correct order, when
+ multiple levels of 'also' parameters are specified. Reported by Rocco
+ Caputo. (doy, perigrin)
+
+ * Moose::Exporter no longer generates init_meta methods in order to apply
+ metaroles, since the metaclass itself isn't guaranteed to exist yet at that
+ point. Metaroles are now applied at the end of import, after all
+ user-defined init_meta methods have been called. Fixes RT #51561. (doy)
+
+ * Fixed a memory leak. This occurred when creating an anonymous
+ class. Immutabilizing an anonymous class still leaks memory due to a bug in
+ Eval::Closure (which should hopefully be fixed soon). Based on code and bug
+ report from Carlos Lima. RT #74650.
+
+ * Fix a segfault when adding a method to a class which was defined in a
+ package which was deleted. (doy)

[DEPRECATIONS]
- * Several things that have been deprecated for a while have been removed. See
- the 2.0000 section in Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
+ * The optimize_as option for type constraints has been deprecated. Use the
+ inline_as option to provide inlining code instead. (Dave Rolsky)
+
+ [API CHANGES]
+
+ * Methods to introspect a class's methods will now return methods defined in
+ UNIVERSAL (isa, can, etc.). This also means that you can wrap these
+ methods with method modifiers. RT #69839. Reported by Vyacheslav
+ Matyukhin. (Dave Rolsky)
+
+ * The ->parent and ->parents method for a union now return the nearest
+ common ancestor of that union's component types. See Moose::Manual::Delta
+ for more details. (Dave Rolsky)
+
+ * The ->parents method used to return an arrayref for union types, and a
+ list of one or more types for all other types. Now they all return
+ lists. (Dave Rolsky)
+
+ * The ->is_subtype_of and ->is_a_type_of methods have changed their behavior
+ for union types. Previously, they returned true if any of their member
+ types returned true for a given type. Now, all of the member types must
+ return true. RT #67731. (Dave Rolsky)
+
+ [ENHANCEMENTS]
+
+ * The Moose::Exporter module now has a "meta_lookup" option when creating an
+ importer. This allows you to specify an alternate method for determining
+ the metaclass of a caller. This is useful for modules like
+ MooseX::Role::Parameterized which generate new metaclasses on the
+ fly. (sartak)
+
+ * Added a Moose::Meta::Method->is_stub method. (Dave Rolsky)
[BUG FIXES]
- * duck_type type constraints now report reasonable errors when given
- something which isn't an instance of an object. (t0m)
+ * A subtype of a union type did not return the right results when you called
+ ->is_subtype_of or ->is_a_type_of on it. This has been fixed. RT
+ #70322. (Dave Rolsky)
- * Moose::Util::apply_all_roles now works even if the applicant is a non-Moose
- class. (perigrin)
+ * An attribute accessor or delegation method can overwrite a stub method and
+ this will no longer throw an error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. RT
+ #69988. (Dave Rolsky)
+
+ * The error generated by unfulfilled method requirements during role
+ composition now mentions how to work around imported methods not being
+ recognized. Reported by Michael Schwern. RT #60583. (doy)
+
+ * class_type and role_type will now throw errors if you attempt to use them
+ to override existing types, just like type and subtype have always done.
+ (doy)
+
+ * Implicitly creating class or role types by using them as the 'isa' or
+ 'does' parameter to attribute construction will now register the type. This
+ means that it cannot later be redefined as something else. (doy)
+
+ * $class_type->is_subtype_of no longer returns true if passed the name of the
+ class that the class type represents when the class type wasn't registered.
+ (doy)
+
+ * Removing anonymous metaclasses prematurely no longer prevents reaping of
+ the associated stash. (doy)
[OTHER]
- * Better error message if Moose->init_meta is called with a 'metaclass'
- option when that metaclass hasn't been loaded. (jasonmay)
+ * The Class::MOP::load_class and Class::MOP::is_class_loaded subroutines are
+ no longer documented, and will cause a deprecation warning in the
+ future. Moose now uses Class::Load to provide this functionality, and you
+ should as well. (Dave Rolsky)

+2.0205 Tue, Sep 06, 2011
+
+ [NEW FEATURES]
+
+ * The Array and Hash native traits now provide a "shallow_clone" method,
+ which will return a reference to a new container with the same contents as

+
+ * Specifying an invalid value in a hashref 'handles' value now throws a
+ sensible error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. RT #69990. (Dave
+ Rolsky)
+
+ [BUG FIXES]
+
+ * When specifying an attribute trait, passing options for the trait besides
+ -alias or -excludes caused a warning. However, passing other options is
+ totally valid when using MooseX::Role::Parameterized. Fixes RT
+ #70419. (sartak)
+
+ * Allow regexp objects in duck_type constraints (to bring this in line with
+ the Object constraint).
+
+2.0204 Thu, Aug 25, 2011

+
+ * Make ->does initialize the metaclass, so that calling it as a class method
+ on a class which sets up inheritance via some method other than extends
+ works properly (this fixes an issue with MooseX::Types).
