Hi @martin-g , apologies for the drop off. Is there anything else you need on my end for the doc updates?

No!

I postponed the merge of few no high prio PRs like this one because of our work on Async APIs (#238).
E.g. #246 makes many changes and it is hard to keep it up to date with the main branch.

This PR will be merged for the next release! With or without the Async APIs.
