  - From perl change 09330df80caf214f375fcf0c04857347e3b17c69 (Zefram):

    Fix [perl #66970] Incorrect coderef in MODIFY_CODE_ATTRIBUTES

    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.

0.79
  - The version released with Perl 5.10.0
  - All interpreted attributes are now passed as array references,
    eventually nested.
  - Don't AUTOLOAD DESTROY (Jerry D Hedden, cpan bug #1911)
  - A::H is now able to report caller's file and line number
    (David Feldman)

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

  - 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

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.

  - Brought up to date with perl 5.8RC1 version will be 5.8 if no more
    changes come in

  - [#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

  - [#15945] Do not warn about too late CHECK and INIT block if
    A::H is pulled in using a require.
