Thanks a lot for your contribution!

However, the patch has two problems:

 *) You added a significant change (bumping the version number), but
 you kept the Reviewed-by tag of another person. This is typically
 considered as a bad practice: Arnout had endorsed your previous
 version, and maybe not this one.

 *) When your commit log title contains something like "do this *AND*
 do that", it's a strong indication that your patch is not correct, and
 should instead be split in two patches: one "doing this" and the other
 "doing that". In this case, the patch "doing that" could carry
 Arnout's Reviewed-by, since it wouldn't have changed since Arnout's
 review.

Would you mind resending an updated version that takes into account
those comments?
