50 attributes, and use if from ::Engine rather than deleting
51 the key from the instance hash (t0m)
52 - Use handles on tree attribute of Catalyst::Stats to replace
53 trivial delegation methods (t0m)

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

220 - Allow multiple restart directories and added option to follow
