Hi Stephane, We are talking only about these two commits [1]? Notice that 001e807 modifies file names to the verbose one which breaks backwards compatibility and this should not forcibly (by default) happen in your version/branch. Try to fork the project, make a local branch and then reset HEAD to [2], i.e. git reset --hard 19006aa70f36705f399b8c105a16f636904f00f3 And then cherrypick both commits [1]. Make sure the order is correct but it won't be so straightforward. The tests have to pass (mvn install -P run-its).
