- verify that the libtool versioning/library soname is
changed if it needs to be, or not changed if not
+ - remember to update **both** `configure.ac` **and** `meson.build`
+ - CMake takes the version number from `configure.ac` and so should not

- update the file NEWS based on the git history
- the version number should have major.minor.micro, even
if micro is 0, i.e. "1.0.0" and "1.2.0" not "1.0"/"1.2"; the micro
version should be even for releases, and odd for intermediate snapshots

- "make distcheck" (DO NOT just "make dist" - pass the check!)
then simply created an unsigned annotated tag:
"git tag -a -m 'Released X.Y.Z' dbus-X.Y.Z".
- - bump the version number up in configure.ac (so the micro version is odd),
+ - bump the version number up in `configure.ac` and `meson.build`
+ again (so the micro version is odd),
and commit it. Make sure you do this *after* tagging the previous
release! The idea is that git has a newer version number
than anything released. Similarly, bump the version number of
