Hi Dumitru,

Thanks a lot for your comments. I have posted patch 7 after rebasing and fixing 
the unit tests. Will address the code review comments in next patch.

Thanks,
Sragdhara

Hi Sragdhara,

Not a full review, just one thing I spotted quickly:

We need to increase the version number from x.y.z to x.(y+1).0 if there
are non cosmetic changes.

I don't think I'll be able to review the rest of this patch today.

However I did have comments on the previous ones and it would be useful
to be able to test this so it would be great if you could post a v7
rebased on current main branch and ideally with the comments addressed?

Thanks,
Dumitru
