Sorry for the delay, I am dealing with a personal issue at the moment
and I didn't manage to address your valid comments on the release
function implementation.

However in this version I did address all other comments, so it would be
good if you could give a look at it, bearing in mind that the problem on
release is still unaddressed here.

Thanks,

Stefano
