    Any screenshots on what this golden baby looks like?

    You may watch review video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EzgrGuEMzVY

    But video over 1.2.10 version (i.e. 6 versions ago) and you may
    change language of subtitles to English for understand what I talk about.

    I received a lot of abuse comment about the video reviews. I actually found short video review to be very helpful, but most people prefer to see text documents, so I get small pause with recording video reviews.

    If the video review found its own conumers, then I will resume recording reviews.
    But now it directly depends on the feedbacks.
