Revision history for Moo

2.000001 - 2015-03-16
  - Fix how we pick between Sub::Name and Sub::Util if they are both loaded.
    This fixes how we interact with Moose in some cases. (RT#102729) (GH#15)

2.000000 - 2015-03-02
  * Incompatible Changes
    - Fatal warnings and the other additional checks from the strictures
      module will no longer be applied to modules using Moo or Moo::Role.  We
      now only apply strict and (non-fatal) warnings, matching the behavior of
      Moose.
    - Classes without attributes used to store everything passed to ->new
      in the object.  This has been fixed to not store anything in the object,
      making it consistent with classes that had attributes.
    - Moo will now pass __no_BUILD__ to parent constructors when inheriting
      from a Moose or Class::Tiny class, to prevent them from calling BUILD
      functions.  Moo calls the BUILD functions itself, which previously led
      to them being called multiple times.
    - Attempting to replace an existing constructor, or modify one that has
      been used, will throw an error.  This includes adding attributes.
      Previously, this would result in some attributes being silently ignored
      by the constructor.
    - If a class's @ISA is modified without using 'extends' in a way that
      affects object construction, Moo will detect this and throw an error.
      This can happen in code that uses ->load_components from
      Class::C3::Componentised, which is common in DBIx::Class modules.

  * Bug Fixes
    - Fix calling class methods on Moo::HandleMoose::FakeMetaClass, such as
      modules scanning all classes

  * Miscellaneous
    - use Sub::Util instead of Sub::Name if available

1.007000 - 2015-01-21
  - fix Moose metaclass inflation of Method::Generate::Constructor (RT#101111)
  - clarify behavior of clearers for non-lazy attribute defaults
  - add Sub::Defer::undefer_package to undefer all subs from a given package
  - existing attributes will no longer be overwritten when composing roles.
    Previously, the attribute configuration used by the constructor would be
    overridden, but the attribute methods would not be.  This caused a mismatch
    in attribute behavior.
  - link to Type::Tiny in docs rather than MooX::Types::MooseLike
  - document exports of Sub::Defer
  - fix capture_unroll usage in inlinify example
  - fix needless re-assigning of variables in generated Sub::Quote subs

1.006000 - 2014-08-16
  - support coerce => 1 in attributes, taking the coercion from the isa option
    if it is an object that supports the coerce or coercion method.
  - add attribute information to type check errors by trapping with an eval
    rather than overriding the global __DIE__ handler
  - bump Module::Runtime prerequisite to fix error messages when there is a
    missing module used by a role loaded using 'with' or similar (rt#97669)

1.005000 - 2014-06-10
  - add qsub to Sub::Quote as a prototyped alternative to quote_sub, accepting
    only the sub body

1.004006 - 2014-05-27
  - fix quotify for characters in the \x80-\xFF range when used under the utf8

  - always try to load superclasses and roles, and only fall back on the
    heuristic of checking for subs if the file doesn't exist
  - fix handling of attributes with names that aren't valid identifiers
  - Quoted subs now preserve the package and pragmas from their calling code
