my stance on versioning is for when something has changed that breaks
backwards compatibility.  in this case, we haven't broken backwards
compatibility, but a regression was introduced.  regressions can get
introduced in a variety of different ways, and across a variety of different
properties unfortunately.  software projects do their best to avoid them --
but its orthogonal to versioning....

either way - we're working on a fix.
