I'm sorry to lose your following.

However, the embedded book has, since November 2006, been at version
0.0.1.  This has never changed and after 7 years it seems silly to keep
a version string that hasn't changed and which I have no intention of
changing any time soon.

If a 1.0-type release is done, the version number will come back.  And,
if really desired, bringing back the 0.0.1 is as easy as 'git revert'.

-Andrew
