+        - This release moves the restarter functionality into a new
+          module Catalyst::Restarter, that is not a Catalyst Engine
+          subclass.
+
+          The new restarter is simpler and more reliable, because it
+          does not try to test if a changed piece of code can be
+          compiled. It simply restarts the server whenever it detects
+          changes. This also makes it much faster.
+
+          However, this does mean that the server can simply die when
+          a changed file cannot compile. This is different than the
+          old behavior, where the server remained running without
+          incorporating the change.
+
+          Finally, the new restarter relies on File::ChangeNotify,
+          which is designed to accomodate per-OS methods of detecting
+          changed files. As of this writing, it currently ships with a
+          file watcher that uses inotify on Linux systems, and a
+          default fallback class that does everything in pure Perl.
