Everything looks fine to me and it’s working as intended. The `version` parameter is actually the name of a git branch to get the code from, and what’s happened is that we’ve put some bugfixes into that branch (as @zogstrip described) but haven’t yet tagged the release (because there’s probably more coming down the pipe in the near future). Essentially, you’re just getting the future stable “release” (tag) a bit early. YOUR CODE IS FROM… THE FUUUUUTUUUUUUUUURE…
