Version Update Changes

[SamuelGabriel]

Change Description

Brief (a few bullet points describing your changes, use full sentences and try to link lines in the code whenever needed)

I needed to change the version to be able to upload the package to Pypi.
I ran into some errors and added printing for these s.t. users can send us better bug reports in that case (not a perfect solution at all, as it only is triggered for this one error.)

Standard Qs (leave questions that do not apply blank)

If you broke behavior: Please describe what behavior you broke and how you inform people to not get stuck trying to use the old behavior.
none

If you used new dependencies: Did you add them to requirements.txt?
no

Who did you ping on Mattermost to review your PR? Please ping that person again whenever you are ready for another review.
