Hi Andrea/Aled, Thank you very much for the information. Really appreciate it!
I was actually using 1.8.0-SNAPSHOT (master). I could see in the pull request discussion that you are planning to first merge it to 1.7.x and then forward port to master. Just to clarify, if I checkout 1.7.1 branch and apply this pull request on top would it be ok for the moment? Just for me to do some tests until we have it applied on a branch or master.
