Version 0.8.13 crashes with "ReferenceError: _global is not defined"

Updating to 0.8.13 (released yesterday) prevents our Angular application from booting:

Uncaught ReferenceError: _global is not defined

thank you for posting the issue, I will check it.

I'm having the same issue, it occurs in my app when a pouchdb lib tries to register an event handler without a window or global

addEventListener("storage", function (e) { self.emit(e.key); });

It have been fixed in #834, please wait for the next version, sorry for the breaking error.

Thanks for this fast fix!

@JiaLiPassion: should I be able to get the fix with "zone.js": "git://github.com/angular/zone.js.git#8a15c660da6b178601c306cf7c63d62ae36bf3f6"? With this I'm still getting _global is not defined ... (with the context of PouchDB taht @nerumo explained).

@riddla , the zone.js will not updated until new version is released, so you can try attached zone.js.zip for now.

Thanks for the quick work; not trying to rock the boat, but do you have an ETA for the release? Just so I know when to check back, not to rush you.
