+ * [#30] Route definitions should now be defined as an array of route objects
  rather than a map of routes. The old method of defining routes with a map

+ * [#31] Added support for parsing and constructing urls with query strings.

  which is a map of query parameters to add to the resulting URL string. e.g.
