By the way, the breakage in system.util.getGlobals() has been fixed for v8.1. With the loss of its «raison-d'etre», I'm not planning to update this Life Cycle module for 8.1.
Edit: In v8.1 getGlobals() is isolated to a given script scope. So, not the same as v7.9. I will be releasing LifeCycle for v8.1 and maintaining it going forward. system.util.persistent()
in this module has been superceded by system.util.globalVarMap()
in my Integration Toolkit module. All users of v8.1+ should migrate.
