Yes, that was done by the patch posted on September 6:

Putting the version number in the Makefile was a bad idea, because it made the 
number usually wrong when checking out from the development repository. We're

Thanks for letting us know. I have pinged the ICANN staff about this. In the 
meantime you can get the files from the tarballs.
