Oops. It means whoever built it had uncommitted changes in their 
version of the code. It's probably harmless though - somebody 
trying to smuggle in changes could just disable that annotation.

Something in the build process changes a file and therefore the 
thing that checks the version marks it as dirty. It’s perfectly 
fine, this is the official release.

It’s a bit embarrassing to be honest. The windows binaries have 
been reporting dirty for years and nobody cares to fix it.
