79 Sewn together by t0m from two patches provided by David E. Wheeler
80 - Switch an around 'new' in Catalyst::Controller to a BUILDARGS
81 method as it's much neater and more obvious what is going on (t0m)

84 the key from the instance hash (t0m)
85 - Use handles on tree attribute of Catalyst::Stats to replace
86 trivial delegation methods (t0m)
87 - Change the following direct hash accesses into attributes:

202 5.7099_01 2008-06-25 22:36:00
203 - Refactored component resolution (component(), models(), model(), et al). We now
204 throw warnings for two reasons:
205 1) model() or view() was called with no arguments, and two results are returned
206 -- set default_(model|view), current_(model|view) or current_(model|view)_instance
208 2) you call a component resolution method with a string, and it resorts to a regexp
209 fallback wherein a result is returned -- if you really want to search, call the
210 method with a regex as the argument

253 - Allow multiple restart directories and added option to follow
