HI Baljaa,
Thanks again for your contributions here. Unfortunately, I have had other
priorities pressing on me and have not had a chance to review your latest
commits yet. I agree that it would be nice to include the four variants of PF
along with the OPF, but I can’t promise I’ll be able to make it happen before
the final release of 7.0. If not, maybe we can include it in a 7.1 shortly
thereafter.
I haven’t forgotten it. Thanks for your patience.
Btw, have you done any further work on that pull request since the last commit?
If not, I would like to re-base that branch on top of the current master and
force-push it, but I’ll wait to make sure you don’t have additional updates
you’d like to push before I do that.
Thanks,
Ray
