Same @hammadbawara, any luck?

[hammadbawara]

@devpascoe There are some fixes available in the pull requests, but they haven't been merged yet. You can use that code and compile it yourself. Since this library hasn't been maintained for 4 years, it may cause more issues in the future, which is why I switched to another library.

[tonyofrancis]

New version 3.4.0 has been released that contains fixes for this issue.
