Changes from Restler 1.0

Restler 2.0 is a major rewrite to use convention over configuration and it is optimized for performance. Here are some of the major changes and improvements

• PHPDoc comments to map a method to URI is now optional.
• All public methods that does not begin with an underscore are mapped automatically to the method name (gateway\classname\methodname\param1\...)
• If we do not specify the second parameter for $restler->addAPIClass it will be mapped to the class name instead of mapping it to the root
• Restler 2 is written for PHP 5.3 and above but it make use of compat.php and work on any version of PHP starting from PHP 5.0
