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

117 attributes, and use if from ::Engine rather than deleting
118 the key from the instance hash (t0m)

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

287 - Allow multiple restart directories and added option to follow
