+- Added API to obtain the wl_resource for SHM exported buffers.
+- Added unstable DMA-BUF pool API for buffer management.
+- Fixed UI process getting stuck when navigating across different security
+  origins.
+- Fixed invalid usage of Wayland client connections in the nested compositor
+  which caused crashes in some situations.
+- Made it easier to override where Meson looks for wayland-scanner during
+  cross-compilation, using a native machine file.
