= New Features * A named_routes plugin has been added, for defining named route blocks that you can dispatch to with r.route. This feature was previously available as part of the multi_route plugin, but there are cases where the r.route method and support for named routes is helpful even when the multi_route plugin is not used (such as when the hash_routes plugin is used instead of the multi_route plugin). The multi_route plugin now depends on the named_routes plugin, so this change should not cause any backwards compatibility issues.
