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

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

274 - Allow multiple restart directories and added option to follow
