Hello,

I'm finally getting around to finalizing 0.9.x, which is a bump from 0.8.x.
This contains many changes...
https://github.com/netpanzer/netpanzer/pull/271
Which may be most relevant to you is switching to Meson.

The release notes are WIP here:
https://github.com/netpanzer/netpanzer/pull/270/files#diff-06572a96a58dc510037d5efa622f9bec8519bc1beab13c9f251e97e657a9d4edR15

Can you help me understand how I can help to get the changes in for 0.9?
Thanks for your time.
