What's the reason for explicit event declaration? In addition, why require component users to map each event instead of allowing invocation by implicit convention for ease of development?
>* IMPORTANT! Two more name changes:
>
> DynaFaces.fireEvent() has been renamed to DynaFaces.fireAjaxTransaction().
>
> DynaFaces.installDeferredEvent() has been renamed to
> DynaFaces.installDeferredAjaxTransaction()
>
> These changes make sense in light of the changes below.
>
>* This change-bundle renames the existing "event" feature to be a
> "methodName" feature since it was not really an event feature. It was
> just a way to invoke a component (or renderer) method at one of two
> places during the lifecycle. In addition to renaming the feature, I
> removed the "immediate" flag, replacing it instead with a more
> flexible phaseId option.
>
>* This change bundle also adds a true Ajax enabled FacesEvent feature
> where arbitrary FacesEvent subclasses can be queued in the client and
> sent to the server for processing in the JSF lifecycle.
>
>* Documentation for these features has been added to the xdocs for the site.
