The new version of Meson broke 50% of GNOME packages. They removed some
functions without deprecating them, removed some deprecated options
without documenting them, completely changed the output of the JSON
interpreter (breaking Tracker and making it impossible to compile
otherwise) (and did so undocumented), and changed =false to =disabled
(see Ken's message regarding glib-2.60.0).
All of these changes were done upstream without communication to
downstreams, either on mailing lists or in their release notes. In
addition, there are well over 1,000 issues on GitHub.
I stand by my opinion that this version of Meson should've been
Meson-1.0.0...
