Change to binary encoding. No regex suprises.
Convenience method for version
Bump to version 0.0.4 before we forget.

Note there's no need to bump for every commit, but I try to make it a
habit to bump the version before I'm in the mood to rebuild. Makes it
easier to avoid screwing it up later by forgetting.
