Description

I forgot to add ci/PKGBUILD to the release script that bumps all of the versions, so the pkgver it has is out of sync with what is in r/DESCRIPTION after the release. 

To fix, either update the pkgver in ci/PKGBUILD and add code to the release script and tests to bump its version, or remove the pkgver field entirely and just read it from r/DESCRIPTION in the pkgver() function, if makepkg allows that. Unclear if one solution is clearly better than the other.
