 Revision history for Perl extension Class-MOP.
 
+0.90
+    Japan Perl Association has sponsored Goro Fuji to improve
+    startup performance of Class::MOP and Moose. These enhancements
+    may break backwards compatibility if you're doing (or using)
+    complex metaprogramming, so, as always, test your code!

+    * Class::MOP::Class
+    * XS
+      - Anonymous classes were not destroyed properly when they went
+        out of scope, leading to a memory leak. RT #47480 (Goro Fuji).
+
+    * Class::MOP::Class
+      - get_method, has_method, and add_method no longer use get_method_map.
+        Methods are more lazily instantiated to improve performance pretty
+        significantly (Goro Fuji)
+
+    * All classes
+      - Inline fewer metaclass-level constructors since the ones we have are
+        perfectly fine. This reduces the numbr of string evals (Goro Fuji)
+
+0.89 Fri Jul 3, 2009
+    * Class::MOP::Class
+    * Class::MOP::Class::Immutable::Trait
+      - Made the Trait act like a role with a bunch of "around"
+        modifiers, rather than sticking it in the inheritance
+        hierarchy. This fixes various problems that caused with
+        metaclass compatibility, which broke Fey::ORM.
+
+    * Class::MOP::Method
+      - Allow a blessed code reference as the method body. Fixes a
+        problem interaction with MooseX::Types. (ash)
+
+    * Class::MOP::Instance
+      - add inline version of rebless_instance_structure. (doy)
+      - change inline_slot_access to use single quotes (gphat)
+
+0.88 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
+    * Class::MOP::Class
+      - Moved the __INSTANCE__ parameter to _construct_instance from
+        Moose to here. (doy)
+      - Fixed some issues involving metaclasses of metaclasses and
+        immutability. (doy)
+
+0.87 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
+    * Various
+      - Made sure to always local-ize $@ and $SIG{__DIE__} before
+        calling an eval. Fixes RT #45973.
+
+    * Class::MOP::Class
+      - Synced docs about immutability with the current reality (which
+        changed back in 0.82_01)
+      - Removed the immutable_transformer method, which had been
+        returning undef since 0.82_01 anyway.
+
+    * Tests
+      - Got rid of tests which needed Moose and improved testing of
+        constructor/destructor inlining warnings. Fixes RT #47119.
+
+0.86 Tue, Jun 16, 2009
+    * Class::MOP::Class
+      - If you redefined a subroutine at runtime and then wrapped it
+        with a method modifier, the modifier could in some cases wrap
+        the original version of the subroutine. Fixes RT #46957.
+
+    * Class::MOP::Class
+      - make_immutable issues a warning instead of overriding an
+        existing DESTROY method (Dylan William Hardison). Fixes RT
+        #46854.

+        Ragwitz)
       - Test the above. (Rhesa Rozendaal)
-      - Tweak original commit so the intent matches the accepted behavior

+      - Tweak original commit so the intent matches the accepted
+        behavior (Nicholas Perez)
 
     * Class::MOP
       - Localize $SIG{__DIE__} inside _try_load_one_class (Sartak)
 
+    * Class::MOP::Class
+      - Add direct_subclasses method (Sartak)
+        - Tests for subclasses and direct_subclasses (Sartak)
+      - subname is no longer used unconditionally in add_method, but
+        only if the code reference's name is '__ANON__' (nothingmuch)
+      - Add a hook for _superclasses_updated (Sartak)
+
+    * Class::MOP::Method
+      - Remove long, old warning about possibly outdated modules
+        (Sartak)
