I couldn't find a taged release on gitlab so I picked the most recent
commit. Upon looking closer there is not official tag to be found but in
the package it says version 0.1. What is the proper way of naming the
git version in this case? I changed it in this new patch to 0.0.0. Feel
free to change if it doesn't make sense.
