Note from maintainer: The build 1.4.0.66 is being tested in pre-production code as of 11/10. If no issues are found from the upgrade from 1.3.x to 1.4.0, it is expected to be fully released soon.
_Note from maintainer: The build 1.4.0.69 is being tested in pre-production code as of 01/22. Two related bugs have been found in pre-production testing of 1.4.0.x and fixed for build 68. Build 67 introduced an optimization of the process registration process. Build 68 fixes issues 83 and 84.

Abstract Configuration Management will not be part of the SMO Base and can instead be implemented using dynamic attributes on a per-project basis. Build 57 is kept in the artifacts for archiving, but it will not contain the abstract configuration management and should NOT BE USED IN PRODUCTION.
[Removed: 52] SMO now features Abstract Configuration Management with support for Cache and Collections.

[Fix: 40] onProcessStart( ) has been moved to the process thread to be symmetrical with onProcessStop( ). [Fix: 41] onStopped, onStarted and onProcessStopped methods must require overrides to call parent. [Fix: 42] Process now resets call-parent state when process terminates, to prepare process for consistent restart conditions, if requested. [Fix: 43] onProcessStopped now symmetrical with onProcessStart, in Process thread. [Feature: 45] Create method now allows a dependency to be declared as shared without specific ownership. [Fix: 46] dependencies are now stopped during the onStopped callback, not onStop. [Fix: 47] LaunchDependency method, called during onStart, is split in two parts: one that creates the dependency and takes ownership on creation (in a non-reentrant method to disallow concurrent creations), the second to start the dependency which is reentrant to allow recursive calls.
[Fix: 38] EnumerateStaticDependencies is now called only during onStart( ) to allow developer to override and create and configure objects as part of dependency injection without risking multiple creation of objects.
[Feature: 34] Introducing SMO Facade for accessing SMO Components' public API generically.
[Fix: 36] Fixed an issue where Shared Dependencies that are aggregated in the Static Dependencies list would be filtered out.
[Feature: 35] Adding reserve mechanism to limit accessibility to public methods to a single master.
[Fix: 32] Parent process can now be overwritten by child implementation
[Feature: 31] Stop Dependency now exposes a timeout terminal (default = -1)
[Feature] List Dependencies method has been made protected (previously private) after addition of ownership verification which is meant to prevent leaking the dependencies list in composition hierarchy. This node is supposed to be used solely to access dependencies in own inheritance tree. An unauthorized call will return an empty list.
[Feature:30] Dependency can now self-terminate and dependent takes care of destroying reference.
[Feature] Added a protected method to allow dependency to message dependent (send any packet of information) which is handled by onDependencyMessage ( ) callback method.
[Feature: 14] Dependents now monitor their dependencies state changes. Created two override hooks: "onDependencyStarted( )" and "onDependencyStopped( )". Dependent will clean its dependencies list on "Dependency Destroyed" event, although no hooks are exposed for that since dependency reference does not exist anymore.
[Feature: 16] Dependent captures own dependency error Created an overridable hook for dependent "onUnhandledDependencyError( )"
