OK, have you a schedule for that actions. Let us not talk about days,
but can

As I understood now, the parallel high-v programming is not

The branch also contains your latest changes (new devices etc) ?

I will try that out, but my wife is knocking on the screen now ....

Fine...

Thanks for your work!
