One of the commits I have prepared already replaces old notifications with the
ones suggested previously, where format of notification is the same as format
of get command.
It works there, altough not sure if it works only for me or for everyone,
I might have done some modifications to ynl-lib itself, need to double check
that.

Thank you,
