hey @Radi85, how are you? its been sometime since we worked together on this project.

The configurations around codecov seems to have changed, which is causing the CI to fail. Some of the ways to fix that would be:

• disable the token authentication for the repository on codecov(it is anyway a public repository)
• you might need to add the token from codecov to github secrets.

Hey @Radi85, if you don't have the time to work on this project now, I would like to thank you for starting it and all the contributions that you have made to this.

Let me know, if any of these options make sense to you.

• I make the changes and future releases from my fork.
• You transfer the ownership of this repository to me(so that I can continue the future developments here).

In order to keep the project alive, I have merged this and released using my own fork. Will try to keep the project alive as much as I can.

Thanks Radico.
