what does it mean by dirty?
Something in the build process changes a file and therefore the
thing that checks the version marks it as dirty. It’s perfectly
fine, this is the official release.
It’s a bit embarrassing to be honest. The windows binaries have
been reporting dirty for years and nobody cares to fix it.
