IMHO it should either be 0.0-4, or 0.1-1 if you feel the need to 
increment the version due to code changes. It should *never* reach v1.0 
status for the very reason we start at 0.0 as opposed to 1.0 in the 
first place... in other words, at most we (continue to) increment the 
version minor number indefinitely, as appropriate.

My vote would go for 0.1-1 given the proposed changes :)
