Dunno, but it must be me how made this crew-up, sorry. I cannot say exactly how it happened, but it was non-intentional. Probably pushed one patch version, then later amended it, and pushed it with --force.

We usually use the master branch. And there is simply no one who cares about tags. But I can do this. You'll get a new tag when I come back from holydays, unless someone else tag it earlier. -- Best Regards, Artem Bityutskiy (Артём Битюцкий)
