 Revision history for Perl extension Class-MOP.
 
-0.30
+0.30 Wed. July 5, 2006
+    ---------------------------------------
+    This is the first version of Class::MOP 
+    to introduce the immutable features which
+    will be used for optimizating the MOP. 
+    This support should still be considered
+    experimental, but moving towards stability.
+    ---------------------------------------
+    
+    * Created Class::MOP::Class::Immutable  
+    
+    * Created the Class::MOP::Package and 
+      Class::MOP::Module classes to more 
+      closely conform to Perl 6's meta-model
+
+    * Class::MOP::Class
+      - now inherits from Class::MOP::Module
+      - several methods moved to ::Module and 
+        ::Package and now inherited
+        - added tests for this
+      
     * Class::MOP::Instance
-      - added new instance construction protocol
+      - added an is_inlinable method to allow other 
+        classes to check before they attempt to optimize.
+      - added an inline_create_instance to inline 
+        instance creation (of course) 
+        
+    ** API CHANGE **
+      - the Class::MOP::Class::*_package_variable 
+        methods are all now methods of Class::MOP::Package
+        and called *_package_symbol instead. This is 
+        because they are now more general purpose symbol 
+        table manipulation methods.        
+
+0.29_02 Thurs. June 22, 2006
+    ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
+    * Class::MOP::Class
+      - small change in &create so that it behaves 
+        properly when inherited
+      - small fix to &clone_instance
+
+0.29_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
+    ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
+      - This release works in combination with 
+        Moose 0.09_01, it is a developer release
+        because it introduces a new instance 
+        sub-protocol and has not yet been 
+        optimized.  
+
+    * Class::MOP::Class
+      - anon-classes are now properly garbage collected
+        - added tests for this 
+      - improved method modifier wrapping 
+
+    * Class::MOP::Instance
+      - added new instance protocol
         - added tests for this
       - changed all relevant modules and examples
         - Class::MOP::Class
         - Class::MOP::Attribute
         - examples/*
 
+    * metaclass
+      - you no longer need to specify the metaclass
+        itself, if it is not there, Class::MOP::Class
+        is just assumed
+        - updated tests for this
+
+    * examples/
+      - added ArrayBasedStorage example to show 
+        instance storage using ARRAY refs instead of
+        HASH refs. 
+        - added tests for this
+      - InsideOutClass is totally revised using the 
+        new instance protocol
+        - added more tests for this
