wayland-protocols 1.21 is now available.

This release introduces support for installing using meson instead of
autotools. The aim is to in a later release remove support for
installing using autotools.

Also new with this release is the introduction of a new protocol phase
that replaces the old "unstable" phase: "staging". The main purpose of
this is making it more painless to transition a protocol from it's
testing-in-production phase to declaring it stable. See README.md for
details.

This release also introduces a new staging protocol: xdg-activation,
meant to enable transferring focus between different toplevel surfaces.
For example from a launcher to a launchee, or one focused application to
another.

A handful of cleanups, clarifications, and fixes has seen the light of
day as well, see the included shortlog for details.
