No problem at all. I believe we will be able to maintain the library
together successfully.

Could you, please, have a look at my commit [1]? It should be something
similar as "-release" flag. I think we can make just "3.7" version without
"0" at the end. It seems, upstream does not produce minor releases.
What do you think?

Thanks for constructive discussion.
