254 - Refactored component resolution (component(), models(), model(), et al). We now
255 throw warnings for two reasons:
256 1) model() or view() was called with no arguments, and two results are returned
257 -- set default_(model|view), current_(model|view) or current_(model|view)_instance

261 method with a regex as the argument

304 - Allow multiple restart directories and added option to follow
