• Add public API to validate various string types:
  dbus_validate_path(), dbus_validate_interface(),
  dbus_validate_member(), dbus_validate_error_name(),
  dbus_validate_bus_name(), dbus_validate_utf8()
  (fd.o #39549, Simon McVittie)

• Turn DBusBasicValue into public API so bindings don't need to invent
  their own "union of everything" type (fd.o #11191, Simon McVittie)

• Enumerate data files included in the build rather than using find(1)
  (fd.o #33840, Simon McVittie)

• Add support for policy rules like
  <allow own_prefix="com.example.Service"/> in dbus-daemon
  (fd.o #46273, Alban Crequy)

• Windows-specific:
  · make dbus-daemon.exe --print-address (and --print-pid) work again
    on Win32, but not on WinCE (fd.o #46049, Simon McVittie)
  · fix duplicate case value when compiling against mingw-w64
    (fd.o #47321, Andoni Morales Alastruey)
