Version 0.7.9

Fixed a bug in services that manifested when two concurrent calls were made to the same remote service

Version 0.7.8

Added useWeakReference property to Listener tag to improve garbage collection. True by default.

ResponseHandlers now use weakReference internally to improve garbage collection.

Fixed bug in GlobalDispatcher that was firing twice when the event with bubbles true property is dispatched from the application.

Version 0.7.7

Changes in AbstractHandlers:

• Fixed bug in request object in HTTPServiceInvoker.
• Implemented new methods setGroupId, getGroupId and clearReferences.
• Use weak references in mate manager.
• Added protected vars: dispatcherTypeChanged and currentDispatcher.
• Added a setter and getter dispatcherType that can have the values inherit or global.
• When trying to access the dispatcher we now check if the dispatcherType is local, inherit or global and return a dispatcher depending on that value.
• Updated the setDispatcher to match the interface. Now using the extra parameter local.
• Clear the scope after runSequence ends to garbage collect the scope object.
• In initialized method we now check if the document is an IDispatcherProvider. If that is true, we set the dispatcher and validate.

• Implemented new method clearReferences.
• Use weak references by default in event listeners.
• handleDispatcherChange was removed.
