Hi Kirill,

did you make any progress on the issue since Daniel's comments? Could you let 
me know when you push a patch so that I can test it and bump master to equal 
the mob branch?
 
Grischka, what do you think of releasing a rc1 after that? We got plenty of 
features merged since last release and 3 years start to be quite a long time. 
I know there is still many things to improve, including some I care about, but 
it might attract new contributions or new users to have a more recent release.

What do you think?

Best regards,

Thomas Preud'homme
