        - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
          new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
        - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t' (groditi)

+         known issues with 5.8.3, and nobody is prepared to fix / support perl

   New features:
        - private_path method for Catalyst::Action + docs + tests (groditi)
