 Revision history for Perl extension Class-MOP.
 
-0.06 
+0.20 Thurs. March 2, 2006
+    - removed the dependency for Clone since 
+      we no longer to deep-cloning by default.
+    
+    * Class::MOP::Method
+      - added &package_name, &name and 
+        &fully_qualified_name methods, some of 
+        which were formerly private subs in 
+        Class::MOP::Class
+      
+    * Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
+      - allows for a method to be wrapped with 
+        before, after and around modifiers 
+          - added tests and docs for this feature
+
+    * Class::MOP::Class
+      - improved &get_package_variable
+          - &version and &superclasses now use it
+      - methods are now blessed into Class::MOP::Method
+        whenever possible
+      - added methods to install CLOS-style method modifiers 
+         - &add_before_method_modifier
+         - &add_after_method_modifier         
+         - &add_around_method_modifier
+             - added tests and docs for these
+      - added &find_next_method_by_name which finds the 
+        equivalent of SUPER::method_name
+
+0.12 Thurs. Feb 23, 2006
+    - reduced the dependency on B, no need to always 
+      have the latest
+
+    * examples/
+      - added docs to the C3 method dispatch order test
+      - fixed missing Algorithm::C3 dependency by making 
+        the test skip if it is not installed
+
+0.11 Mon Feb. 20, 2006
+    * examples/
+      - added example of changing method dispatch order to C3
+      
+    * Class::MOP::Class
+      - changed how clone_instance behaves, it now only does a
+        shallow clone (see docs for more details)
+        - added docs and tests
+
+0.10 Tues Feb. 14, 2006
+    ** This release was mostly about writing more tests and 
+       cleaning out old and dusty code, the MOP should now 
+       be considered "ready to use".
+
+    - adding more tests to get coverage up a little higher,
+      mostly testing errors and edge cases.
+      - test coverage is now at 99%
+      
+    * Class::MOP
+      - no longer optionally exports to UNIVERSAL::meta or
+        creates a custom metaclass generator, use the 
+        metaclass pragma instead.
+
+    * Class::MOP::Class  
+      - fixed a number of minor issues which came up in the 
+        error/edge-case tests
+        
+    * Class::MOP::Attribute 
+      - fixed a number of minor issues which came up in the 
+        error/edge-case tests        
+     
+    * examples/
+      - fixing the AttributesWithHistory example, it was broken.
+
+0.06 Thurs Feb. 9, 2006
     * metaclass
-      - adding new metaclass pragma to make assiging the 
+      - adding new metaclass pragma to make setting up the 
         metaclass a little more straightforward
+        
+    * Class::MOP
+      - clean up bootstrapping to include more complete 
+        attribute definitions for Class::MOP::Class and 
+        Class::MOP::Attribute (accessors, readers, writers, 
+        etc.) ... it is redundant, but is useful meta-info
+        to have around.
 
     * Class::MOP::Class
       - fixing minor meta-circularity issue with &meta, it 
         is now more useful for subclasses
-
+      - added &get_attribute_map as an accessor for the 
+        hash of attribute meta objects
+      - &compute_all_applicable_attributes now just returns
+        the attribute meta-object, rather than the HASH ref
+        since all the same info can be gotten from the 
+        attribute meta-object itself
+          - updated docs & tests to reflect
+      - added &clone_instance method which does a deep clone
+        of the instance structure created by &construct_instance
+          - added docs & tests for this
+          - added Clone as a dependency
+      - added &new_object and &clone_object convience methods to
+        return blessed new or cloned instances
+          - they handle Class::MOP::Class singletons correctly too
+          - added docs & tests for this
+      - cleaned up the &constuct_class_instance so that it behaves
+        more like &construct_instance (and managed the singletons too)
+      - added the &check_metaclass_compatibility method to make sure
+        that metaclasses are upward and downward compatible.
+          - added tests and docs for this
+          
     * examples/
       - adjusting code to use the &Class::MOP::Class::meta
         fix detailed above
