Building with CMake sets the version-string correct whereas using
autotools as build-system does not.

Hi Sedat,

This was reported earlier and it's unfortunate, but we don't support
autotools build any more. The official releases are made using CMake
and most of the buildbots are using it.

Feel free to apply a patch on top of the release to change that if you
must build with autotools.

cheers,

I switched over to CMake build-system with v3.8.0.
AFAICS, autotools support is deprecated with upcoming v3.9.
