Changes for version 0.34

  • ~~~ more misc. doc. fixes ~~~ ~~ updated copyright dates ~~
  • Moose is now a postmodern object system :)
    • (see the POD for details)
  • <<Role System Refactoring>>
  • this release contains a major reworking and cleanup of the role system
    • 100% backwards compat.
    • Role application now restructured into seperate classes based on type of applicants
    • Role summation (combining of more than one role) is much cleaner and anon-classes are no longer used in this process
    • new Composite role metaclass
    • runtime application of roles to instances is now more efficient and re-uses generated classes when applicable
  • <<New Role composition features>>
    • methods can now be excluded from a given role during composition
      • with 'My::Role' => { excludes => [qw/method1 method2/] };
    • methods can now be aliased to another name (and still retain the original as well)
      • with 'My::Role' => { alias => { method1 => method1_aliased } };
  • <<New Attribute traits>>
    • allows arbitrary roles to be applied to attribute metaobjects to allow better combination of custom attribute features. Docs are coming soon for this feature.
  • <<New Maybe[$type] parameterized type>>
    • added this new type which basically means the value is of $type or it is undef
  • Moose Moose::Role
    • now uses the Moose::Util::apply_all_roles to deal with role application
  • Moose::Util
    • added the &apply_all_roles function
  • Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
    • all optimized type constraint subs are now pulled from the Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::OptimizedConstraints module (thanks to nothingmuch)
    • improved support for the IO:: family of modules within the FileHandle type constraint
  • Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::OptimizedConstraints
    • added this module (see above)
  • Moose::Meta::Class
    • fixed the &_process_attribute method to be called by &add_attribute, so that the API is now correct
  • Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
    • fixed bug when passing a list of values to an accessor would get (incorrectly) ignored. Thanks to Sartak for finding this ;)
      • added tests for this (Sartak again)
  • Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor Moose::Meta::Attribute Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
    • lots of cleanup of such things as:
      • generated methods
      • type constraint handling
      • error handling/messages (thanks to nothingmuch)
  • Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
    • added this module to support the refactor in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized
  • Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized
    • refactored how these types are handled so they are more generic and not confined to ArrayRef and HashRef only
  • t/
    • shortened some file names for better VMS support (RT #32381)
