Instead of a release from the master branch, maybe we can apply the fix on top 
of the version-1.0.1 branch and release that? That way we won't need the build 
farms to rebuild anything, while fixing the issue. We could also apply patches 
to the graphical installer that were pushed after 1.0.1 maybe?
