7 Catalyst::Dispatcher (t0m)
8 - Replace {_body} instance access with calls to _body accessors (t0m)
9 - Add backwards compatibility alias methods for private attributes on

53 attributes, and use if from ::Engine rather than deleting
54 the key from the instance hash (t0m)
55 - Use handles on tree attribute of Catalyst::Stats to replace
56 trivial delegation methods (t0m)
57 - Change the following direct hash accesses into attributes:

69 - Add test case for the bug which is causing the

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

223 - Allow multiple restart directories and added option to follow
