0.86_01 Thu Sep 17 10:01:00 CET 2009
- From perl change 09330df80caf214f375fcf0c04857347e3b17c69 (Zefram):

- Fixed bug in handling of lexical SCALAR refs
Fix [perl #66970] Incorrect coderef in MODIFY_CODE_ATTRIBUTES

- Cleaned up interactions with other class hierarchies
(due to being base class of UNIVERSAL)
Attribute handlers being applied to a temporary CV has actually been
reported as a bug, #66970. The attached patch fixes the bug, by
changing the order in which things happen: attributes are now
applied after the temporary CV has been merged into the existing CV
or has otherwise been added to the appropriate GV.

The change breaks part of Attribute::Handlers. Part of A:H searches
the package to find the name of the sub to which a :ATTR attribute
is being applied, and the correct time at which to launch that
search depends crucially on the order in which the CV construction
events occur. So this patch also includes a change to A:H, to make
it detect which way things happen. The resulting A:H works either
way, which is essential for its dual-life nature.

0.78 Sat Oct 5 07:18:09 CEST 2002
- [#17940] Includes :unique and :shared in the builtin types

0.76 Thu Nov 15 06:31:51 2001
- From perl 5.8 { __CALLER__::foo => __PACKAGE } is missparsed, the
proper approach is to use { '__CALLER__::foo' => __PACKAGE }. The
documentation is updated to reflect this. Reported by Dave Cross

- Fixed documentation nit (thanks Rick)
0.77 Sat Jun 8 22:58:56 CEST 2002
- Since Attribute::Handlers now is core, I will refer to changes with
their patch number, please read Porting/repository.pod from your a
perl tarball for more information.

- Improving intuitiveness of autotie mechanism (thanks Marcel)
- Brought up to date with perl 5.8RC1 version will be 5.8 if no more
changes come in

- Added $VERSION numbrs to demo modules (seems bizarre to me, but
they're core too now).
- [#13686] This changes the behaviour of lexical attributes. Prior to
this lexical attributes were done at a compile time, and they would
loose their attribute on the next run over them. Now perl 5.8 calls
the attribute handler runtime whenever it hits my.

- [#14448] Fixes cases with too high refcounts on lexical attributes

0.77 Sat Jun 8 22:58:56 CEST 2002
- [#15945] Do not warn about too late CHECK and INIT block if
A::H is pulled in using a require.
