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

191 - Allow multiple restart directories and added option to follow
