 Revision history for Perl extension Class-MOP.
 
-0.32
+0.35
+
+    * Class::MOP
+      - non-generated accessors are no longer 
+        copied, but instead are aliased from 
+        the originals
+      - added Class::MOP::Method (and its subclasses) 
+        to the bootstrap
+        - adjusted tests for this
+      - added the Class::MOP::Instance attributes
+        to the bootstrap
+      - bootstrap no longer re-compiles accessors
+        so as to keep the MOP compile-time fast
+    
+    * Class::MOP::Method
+      *** API CHANGE ***
+      - methods are no longer blessed CODE refs
+        but are actual objects which can be CODE-ified
+        - adjusted tests to compensate
+        - adjusted docs for this        
+
+    * Class::MOP::Class
+      - changed how methods are dealt with to 
+        encapsulate most of the work into the 
+        &get_method_map method
+      - made several adjustments for the change
+        in Class::MOP::Method
+      - &add_attribute now checks if you are adding 
+        a duplicate name, and properly removes the 
+        old one before installing the new one
+        - added tests for this
+        - adjusted docs for this
+    
+    * Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
+      - added caching of &get_method_map
+      - fixed issue with &get_package_symbol
+      - cleaned up the methods that die (patch by David Wheeler)
+    
+    * Class::MOP::Package
+      - added filtering capabilities to 
+        &list_all_package_symbols
+
+0.34 Sat. Aug. 26, 2006
+    * Class::MOP::Class
+      - added the %:methods attribute, which like
+        the $:version and such just actually goes 
+        to the symbol table to get it's stuff. 
+        However, it makes the MOP more complete.
+     ** API CHANGE **
+      - The &create method now requires that all 
+        but the package name now is passed in as 
+        named parameters. See docs for more info.
+        - updated docs and tests for this
+        
+    * Class::MOP::Object
+      - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper 
+        an object
+        
+    * Class::MOP
+      - cleaned up the initialization of attributes 
+        which do not store things in the instance 
+      - added the %:methods attribute definition to
+        the bootstrap
+        
+    ~ lots of misc. test cleanup
+
+0.33 Sat. Aug. 19, 2006
+    * Class::MOP::Class
+      - moved the metaclass cache out of here 
+        and it is now in Class::MOP itself.
+        
+    * Class::MOP
+      - moved all the metaclass cache stuff here
+        - fixed all tests for this
+
+    * Class::MOP::Attribute
+      - reference values (other than CODE refs) 
+        are no longer allowed for defaults
+        - added tests for this
+    
+    * Class::MOP::Package
+      - fixed an issue with perl 5.8.1 and how it deals 
+        with symbol tables. The namespace hash is now 
+        always reloaded from the symbol table. 
+
+    ~ lots of misc. documentation cleanup
+
+0.32 Sat. Aug. 12, 2006
+    + added Class::MOP::Object so that the 
+      metamodel is more complete (and closer
+      to what Perl 6 will probably be).
+
     * Class::MOP::Package
       - refactored entire class, this is now 
         the primary gateway between the metaclass
         and the Perl 5 symbol table
         - added many tests for this
+      - this class is now a subclass of 
+        Class::MOP::Object
+        - added some tests to reflect this

       - added the $:authority attribute to this module
