Backward compability notes

• Uri::to_assoc() no longer throws an exception with uneven segments, but returns null as value of the last segment
• ORM Model::find() no longer accepts null as only parameter. If you want to use that, you are now REQUIRED to also pass the options array (or an empty array).
• Sessions have been refactored, all validation and validation data has been moved server side. Because of this, pre-1.5 sessions are not longer compatible.
