Hi Adrien Just a double check, do you have any update on the v1 patch set, as now it is the end of October? We are extremly eager to see the v1 patch set for development. I don't think we need full validation on the v1 patch set for API. It should be together with PMD and example application. If we can see the v1 API patch set earlier, we can help to validate it with our code changes. That's should be more efficient and helpful. Any comments on my personal understanding?
Thank you very much for the hard work and kind helps!
