Changes for version 2.1100-TRIAL (TRIAL RELEASE)

  • DEPRECATIONS
    • Class::MOP::load_class, Class::MOP::is_class_loaded, and Class::MOP::load_first_existing_class are now deprecated. See Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
    • The non-arrayref forms of enum and duck_type have been deprecated. See Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
    • Many deprecated features have now been removed:
      • optimize_as for type constraints
      • the "default is" and "default default" features for native delegations
      • setting coerce => 1 on an attribute whose type constraint has no coercion
      • the public version of Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor::initialize_body
  • ENHANCEMENTS
    • Creating classes with Moose now always sets the appropriate entry in %INC, even if it wasn't loaded from a file. This should make writing classes inline easier, and will allow us to be more intelligent about figuring out when classes are loaded in the future. See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details. Note that this is slightly backwards-incompatible in some edge cases.
    • Moose now uses Module::Runtime instead of Class::Load to load classes. This means that there are no more issues with the weird heuristics that Class::Load does to determine if a class was previously loaded (inheriting from an empty package is now possible, for instance). See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details. This is also slightly backwards-incompatible in some edge cases.

Demonstrates the use of method modifiers in a subclass
Demonstrates various attribute features including lazy, predicates, weak refs, and more
Demonstrates the use of subtypes and how to model classes related to companies, people, employees, etc.
