Yes, I hope to get rid of non-cyclic mode. When v1.5.0 was released, I retained non-cyclic mode as just workaround since cyclic mode has big performance issue. However, we have done some improvement for cyclic mode and we will continue it. So please don't make the code depend on non-cyclic mode and make efforts to get rid of it. Thanks Atsushi Kumagai
