HI Laszlo
Would you please give me some time, so that I could discuss internal team to 
see if there is any concern on this API update?

The estimation will be 1 work week at most.

Usually adding a new API does not need compatibility check, but updating an 
existing API always need.

Thank you
Yao Jiewen

That's cool, but until then, can we please accept these patches? :)

Thanks!
