The “Security Hotsopt” pointed out is not accurate.
The ‘1.0.7.2’ described in __init.py is a version number, not an IP address, and does not pose a security issue.

Version mismatch detected. The PR title indicates version 1.0.7.2, but the code sets version to 1.0.8. These should be consistent.

Suggested change

	__version__ = '1.0.8'
	__version__ = '1.0.7.2'

[jo7ueb]

I changed version number to 1.0.8.
This change is independent from changes introduced in version 1.0.7.
So I assigned different minor version code.
