As noted on http://semver.org/, one should increment the "MINOR version when you add functionality in a backwards-compatible manner". This release increments the patch version.

Strictly speaking, the full Semantic Versioning rules don't kick in
until 1.0.0, though.

    4. Major version zero (0.y.z) is for initial development. Anything
    may change at any time. The public API should not be considered
    stable.

    5. Version 1.0.0 defines the public API. The way in which the
    version number is incremented after this release is dependent on
    this public API and how it changes.
