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

119 attributes, and use if from ::Engine rather than deleting
120 the key from the instance hash (t0m)

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

245 fallback wherein a result is returned -- if you really want to search, call the
246 method with a regex as the argument

289 - Allow multiple restart directories and added option to follow
