Hello, when do you plan to land version 3 ?

[tomschr]

Hi @skapin,
that's a good question. I was working on the PR #368 which I would like to integrate in the final version. Perhaps for #365 too.

When at least the first is integrated, I would like to create the final 3.0.0 release. Hope that helps. 🙂
