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.
