61 method in a plugin, as used by Catalyst::Plugin::Server (t0m)

67 - Change streaming test to serve itself rather than 01use.t, making
68 test sync for engines easier (t0m)

88 for the setup_log method, which previously had none.
89 Sewn together by t0m from two patches provided by David E. Wheeler
90 - Switch an around 'new' in Catalyst::Controller to a BUILDARGS
91 method as it's much neater and more obvious what is going on (t0m)

96 trivial delegation methods (t0m)

212 5.7099_01 2008-06-25 22:36:00
213 - Refactored component resolution (component(), models(), model(), et al). We now
214 throw warnings for two reasons:
215 1) model() or view() was called with no arguments, and two results are returned
216 -- set default_(model|view), current_(model|view) or current_(model|view)_instance
218 2) you call a component resolution method with a string, and it resorts to a regexp
219 fallback wherein a result is returned -- if you really want to search, call the
220 method with a regex as the argument

263 - Allow multiple restart directories and added option to follow
