stdClass error in EE 2.7.0

[NeoMudaly]

Getting this error when attemoting to access Widgets control panel:
Cannot use object of type stdClass as array in /expressionengine/core/EE_Loader.php on line 53

I still have high hopes of trying Widgets but it just wont open for me...

Another build, this time in EE 2.8.1

Fatal error: Call to undefined method Cp::set_variable() in /expressionengine/third_party/widgets/mcp.widgets.php on line 68

Anyone with a fix for this?

I have fixed in a modification I made in my fork https://github.com/chris-hall-hu/ee2-widgets
the change is in this pull request. #13 if the pull request has not been accepted yet you can use my fork directly, currently there are no changes in the fork aside from those needed to make the extension work in EE version 2.8 and above.
