About the current status, I'm nearing on pushing a version-1.4.0 branch
which is based on master with a few more (core-ish) updates. There's
still a few days ahead of that, so if you manage to get many of this
kind of problems fixed & merged in master they can easily be included in
the next release.

Maxim
