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

185 - Allow multiple restart directories and added option to follow
