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

86 Sewn together by t0m from two patches provided by David E. Wheeler
87 - Switch an around 'new' in Catalyst::Controller to a BUILDARGS
88 method as it's much neater and more obvious what is going on (t0m)

93 trivial delegation methods (t0m)

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

260 - Allow multiple restart directories and added option to follow
