Hi Joydeep,

My apologies for the delay. Thanks for offering contributions! Would you
be willing to rebase your changes against the develop branch and open a
pull request? I can help with this if you're unsure of how to proceed.
Just let me know...

Thanks again and looking forward to merging your enhancements,

~Justin
