Just ignore it. This was a bug that accidentally slipped in as 
the way the version is generated has been changed recently. It 
has already been fixed:

For more details, see the PR or the linked issue.

Personally, I think that how the version number is handled needs further
tweaking, as the recent changes have screwed up __VERSION__ for master:
