This is such a huge regression, the diff is very hard to read now.
They just don't care about the extension. Each new version breaks something important, and nobody gives a damn:
They don't have time for QA as it would slow them down in rolling out new products; they are trying to catch up with rivals and are afraid of losing market share.
Sad reality.
Only a severe outflow of customers will make them reconsider their approach and make them respect their products' users.
