Full Change log: Core
Breaking: App context aware signal manager.
This is a deprecation for the property ``signal_manager`` of the ``instance``. This means that ``self.instance.signal_manager``
needs to be replaced by ``self.context.signals`` to work with the life cycle changes in 0.8.0.
More info: https://github.com/PyPlanet/PyPlanet/issues/392
The old way will break your app from version 0.8.0
