Version bump.

[Daniel Poirot]

Folks also use odd numbers for development branches and adding a dot release for new features. 

Even numbers are for release branches with dot releases for maintenance release. 

Increment in the version number would indicate a major milestone. 

The '-v' command line switch should report the short version of the git SHA for traceability. 

Much easier to follow the story this way...
