 Revision history for Perl extension Class-MOP.
 
-0.29_03 Wed. July 5, 2006
-    ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
+0.35 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
+
+    * scripts/class_browser.pl
+      - initial prototype of a class browser, more 
+        on this to come. Comments and patches are 
+        very much welcome.
+
+    * Class::MOP
+      - All Class::MOP::* accessors are no longer 
+        re-generated in the bootstrap, instead 
+        they are aliased from the originals
+        - fixed tests to reflect
+      - added Class::MOP::Method (and its subclasses) 
+        to the bootstrap
+        - adjusted tests for this
+      - added the Class::MOP::Instance attributes
+        to the bootstrap
+    
+    * 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
+        
+    * Class::MOP::Class
+      - refactored all symbol table access to 
+        use Class::MOP::Package methods instead
+        
+    * Class::MOP::Module
+      - adding the $:version attribute in the bootstrap
+        so that Module has a version as an attribute
+        - see comment in Class::MOP for details
+      - added the $:authority attribute to this module 
+        as well as an &identifier method, to bring us 
+        ever closer to Perl 6 goodness 
+        - I have added $AUTHORITY to all the modules 
+        - added tests for this
+      
+    * Class::MOP::Instance
+      - added &deinitialize_slot for removing slots 
+        from an instance
+        - added tests for this      
+      
+    * Class::MOP::Attribute 
+      - added support for &deinitialize_slot for removing
+        slots from an instance
+        - added tests for this
+
+0.31 Sat. July 15, 2006
+
+    * Class::MOP::Class
+      - added &find_method_by_name to locate a method
+        anywhere within the class hierarchy   
+        
+    * Class::MOP::Attribute
+      - added &set_value and &get_value for getting 
+        the value of the attribute for a particular 
+        instance.
+
+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 the Class::MOP::Package and 
-    Class::MOP::Module classes to more 
-    closely conform to Perl 6's meta model
+    * Created Class::MOP::Class::Immutable  
     
-    created Class::MOP::Class::Immutable 
-    which can be used to "close" a class 
-    and then apply some optimizations
+    * 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
