A new version of polkit has been released. This new release fixes the version numbering (without prefix v.#, sorry for the confusion), brings new features, bugfixes, brings back latest documentation on Gitlab Pages and also is the **first release only on Gitlab Releases page**. It is not to be found on https://www.freedesktop.org/software/polkit/releases/ anymore.
Many thanks to everyone involved! This wouldn't be possible without your enthusiasm. the polkit Team
