gvm: ERROR: Unrecognized Go version

I have installed gvm using:

bash < <(curl -s -S -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/moovweb/gvm/master/binscripts/gvm-installer)

After restarting my terminal I try to use:

gvm install go1.4

and get the following output:

Downloading Go source...
Updating Go source...
ERROR: Unrecognized Go version

GVM is v1.0.22. I have mercurial installed on my system as well as xcode dev-tools

Specifying the default version should help

FYI, this just happened to me. After a little digging around I did

cd ~/.gvm/archive/go
git pull --tags

Then after tags were pulled in, gvm install go1.9.3 worked.

Not sure if this is still an issue but I plan on looking into it.
