+Build-time configuration changes:
+
+• Add a Meson build system. This is currently considered experimental,
+  but the intention is for it to replace Autotools and/or CMake in future
+  releases, preferably both. Please test!
+  (dbus!303; Félix Piédallu, Marc-André Lureau, Simon McVittie)
+  · This requires Meson 0.56 or newer, and Python 3.5 or newer.
+  · Expat can be built as a subproject using Meson's "wrap" mechanism,
+    if desired. This should make it considerably easier to build dbus
+    for Windows or other platforms without a library packaging system.
+  · GLib can also be built as a subproject using Meson's "wrap" mechanism,
+    if desired. This should make it considerably easier to build full
+    test coverage on Windows or other platforms without a library
+    packaging system.
+
+• Please note that not all Meson build options correspond 1:1 to how
+  the closest equivalents in Autotools or CMake behave. Distributors
+  and developers evaluating the Meson build should check that they are
+  configuring dbus the way they intend to.
