Sorry for the late reply.
The Meson issue previously mentioned in the documentation took a significant
amount of time to get fixed. The fix only showed up in the main tree on August 7:
https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/pull/11715#event-13793516174
Meson 1.5.2 was the first release containing that fix:
https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/releases
That's the reason we added that specific version information to the patch, not
just because it was the newest. But I see how it looked like that was the reason.
I'll change the wording a little to make it more clear, and reply to the first version
as suggested.
Thanks for all the suggestions. They are greatly appreciated.
