Sorry, I'm not sure where 1.0.7 came from.  I think that the compilation
issues should not be resolved, although if someone still sees problems
with the github version please report them.  I'm surprised that the
attributes have degraded, since I don't recall a change with respect to
that recently.  Could you send a .c and .cocci file that shows the
problem?

I would indeed like to make a release now that the compiations issues are
resolved and things seem more stable.
