Thank you for the cc Christian, I’ve been quite busy and was not able to work on the PR for quite some time.

I intended to pick it back up again next week. If it is ok with Harald I would love to finish the PR that I started, since it is quite close to being finished (I think it was just specs missing if I am not mistaken).

Kind regards,
