Please note, previous development release v0.01.04 was mistakenly committed to the Github repository on July 25 with the message "Development release v0.01.03", duplicating the message on the earlier commit of June 9. The version committed to Github on July 25 should have been named "Development release v0.01.04". Apologies for any confusion.
