I've been using this new release for the past 6 days now with no discernible issues.  It seems to have taken care of all the problems we had been having with various Primefaces components when single page application, or SennaJs, was enabled.  The benefit we can see with having SenaJs enable is much faster and smoother page loading.  Thank you for all the hard work that went into making the release possible.
