 Revision history for Perl extension Class-MOP.
 
-0.64_01
+0.65 Mon September 1, 2008
+    For those not following the series of dev releases, the changes
+    from 0.64 from 0.65 can mostly be summed up as a lot performance
+    improvements by nothingmuch, including new optional XS versions of
+    some methods. Also, Class::MOP now works _without_ any XS modules,
+    for sad systems without a compiler.
+
+    * Class::MOP::Method
+      - Added name and package_name XS accessors, and make sure all
+        the XS and Perl versions work the same way. (Dave Rolsky)
+
+    * MOP.xs
+      - The XS versions of various methods just returned undef when
+        called class methods, rather than dying like the pure Perl
+        versions. (Dave Rolsky)
+
+0.64_07 Fri August 29, 2008
+    * Class::MOP
+      - Silenced warnings that managed to break Moose tests when XS
+        was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
+      - Some XS versions of methods were ignored because of typos in
+        MOP.xs. (Dave Rolsky)
+
+0.64_06 Mon August 25, 2008
+    * Class::MOP (MOP.xs)
+      - Another MS VC++ fix, cannot declare a variable in the middle
+        of a scope (Taro Nishino).
+
+0.64_05 Sun August 24, 2008
+    * Class::MOP
+      - None of the dev releases actually loaded the XS properly, but
+        we silently fell back to the pure Perl version of the
+        code. (Dave Rolsky)
+
+    * Class::MOP (MOP.xs)
+      - Replaced some code that used functions not available on Visual
+        C++ with some Perl XS API bits (Dave Rolsky).
+
+0.64_04 Sat August 23, 2008
+    * Class::MOP::Class
+      - Workaround a bug in 5.8.1's goto sub (nothingmuch)
+
+    * pod.t and pod_coveraget.t
+      - These are no longer shipped with the tarball because of bogus
+        failures from CPAN testers. (Dave Rolsky)
+
+0.64_03 Thu August 21, 2008
+    * Class::MOP::Package
+      - Some (legit) code was misparsed by earlier 5.8.x
+        releases. (nothingmuch)
+
+    * Class::MOP
+      - Fix a constant in void context warning (nothingmuch)
+
+0.64_02 Thu August 21, 2008
+    * Makefile.PL and Class::MOP
+      - Explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
+
+    * Makefile.PL
+      - Add missing prereqs that got lost in the switch away from
+        Module::Install.
+
+    * Class::MOP::Instance
+      - New method - get_all_attributes (nothingmuch)
+
+0.64_01 Wed August 20, 2008
     * Makefile.PL
       - We now check to see if you have a compiler. If you don't, the
         module installs without some XS bits, but will work the same

         without a compiler (like Windows). (Dave Rolsky)
 
     * many modules
+      - Perl 6 style attribute naming replaced with sane style ('methods', not
+        '%!methods'). These changes should not impact any existing API uses.
+        (nothingmuch).
+
+    * many modules
       - Quite a number of optimizations based on profiling, including
         allowing constructors to take hash references instead of
         hashes, duplicating some frequently used code in XS, and
         making constructors immutable. These changes should not impact
         any existing API uses. (nothingmuch)
 
+    * Many modules
+      - Constructors now respect the meta attributes of their subclasses,
+        facilitating MOP extensibility. More related changes will happen in the
+        next several releases. (nothingmuch)
+
     * Class::MOP::Class
-       - New method - get_all_methods (nothingmuch)
-       - New method - wrap_method was refactored out of get_method_map
-         (nothingmuch)
-       - New method - invalidate_meta_instance (nothingmuch)
+      - New method - get_all_methods, replaces the deprecated
+        compute_all_applicable_methods. get_all_attributes provided for
+        consistency (nothingmuch)
+      - New method - wrap_method was refactored out of get_method_map
+        (nothingmuch)
+      - New API for meta instance invalidation - invalidate_meta_instance,
+        invalidate_meta_instances, add_dependent_meta_instance,
+        remove_dependent_meta_instance, called automatically when attribute
+        definitions change and allows notification of dependent subclasses.
