v1.1.1

v1.1.1 Packaging fix

This release includes only a single change: the removal of the executable bit from files that didn't need it #22.

I've made a new release, because this adjustment was crucial for packaging, and it’s preferable to package from a release rather than a commit #21

All major changes were introduced in v1.1.0
