Just a quick question: I’ve updated CAS code and I want to test it. My plan is to take makeBaseApp example caServer and change scan method to change array size (aka new_size = (size+1) % 10).
However, I cannot get monitors working (I get no updates… even the first one). Is it supported to work? The code surely looks so. Note that it worked one time (one try out of 20) :/

Cheers,
Matej
