Changes since 2.1.1:
* Allow metal to live in plugins #2045 [Matthew Rudy]
* Added metal [Josh Peek]
* Remove script/performance/request in favour of the performance
integration tests. [Pratik Naik]
* Add a rake task to apply a template to an existing application :
rake rails:template LOCATION=~/template.rb [Pratik Naik]

[David Heinemeier Hansson]
* Added app/[models|controllers|helpers] to the load path for plugins
that has an app directory (go engines ;)) [David Heinemeier Hansson]
* Add config.preload_frameworks to load all frameworks at
startup. Default to false so Rails autoloads itself as it's
used. Turn this on for Passenger and JRuby. Also turned on by
config.threadsafe! [Jeremy Kemper]
* Add a rake task to generate dispatchers : rake
rails:generate_dispatchers [Pratik Naik]
* "rails <app>" will not generate public/dispatch.cgi/fcgi/rb files by
default now. Please use "--with-dispatchers" option if you need
them. [Yaroslav Markin, Pratik Naik]
* Added rake rails:update:application_controller to renamed
application.rb to application_controller.rb -- included in rake
rails:update so upgrading to 2.3 will automatically trigger it #1439
[kastner]
* Added Rails.backtrace_cleaner as an accessor for the
Rails::BacktraceCleaner instance used by the framework to cut down
on backtrace noise and config/initializers/backtrace_silencers.rb to
add your own (or turn them all off) [David Heinemeier Hansson]
* Switch from Test::Unit::TestCase to ActiveSupport::TestCase. [Jeremy Kemper]

application_controller.rb and removed all the special casing that
was in place to support the former. You must do this rename in your

ActiveSupport::TestCase, also introduced a helper script to reduce
the needed require statements #1137 [Mathias Meyer]

standard plugin init path (init.rb) [Jacek Becela]
