Hi all!

Catalyst::Action::REST 0.40 has been uploaded to CPAN, and should be  
available from your local CPAN mirror soon.  Changes for this release  
include:

   Refactored the Content-Type negotiation to live in  
Catalyst::Request::REST.
     (drolsky)
   Added some useful debugging. (drolsky)
   Added a View serializer/deserializer, which simply calls the correct
     Catalyst view.  ('text/html' => [ 'View', 'TT' ]) (claco, adam)

The big change to existing users is the ability to use a built in  
View serializer.  This will enable you to have certain content types  
map directly to regular Catalyst views, greatly simplifying the use  
of Catalyst::Action::REST within a larger Web Application.

Additionally, some patches from Dave Rolsky have made it much easier  
to bypass the standard Serialize/Deserialize mechanisms while  
retaining the Content Type negotiating code.  (Thanks, Dave!)

As always, further patches are more than welcome.  Enjoy!

Adam
