It's almost 10 years old, so I think we can safely depend on that to
support the features we're optionally depending on, plus the ones we're
going to add
In case a transient notification is requested but persistence is not
supported, it's not an error but it is useful to show a debug message
to clarify that.
Notification actions can now be activated with an activation token
containing platform data. So update the notification-spec to include
latest version of the specification, and expose the activation token
during an action activation.
Not to change the API, by modifying the type of NotifyActionCallback
it's just better to provide a function to fetch the activation token
during activation only, so that this can be retro-compatible.

Support printing and overriding notification ID, so that it's possible
to replace a notification that is currently showing with an updated
content.
Based on patch as provided by Paul Collins in the following bug

Fixes#19
Do not cut off an icon filename (passed to -i) at the first comma
character. The original motivation probably was to support a list of
icon names in -i separated by comma. However, this has never been
implemented and the help text for -i also only mentions "an icon".
Hence, no functionality is lost by this change. In contrast, -i now
supports commas in icon filepaths.

While some hints like image-path or sound-file supports parameters using the
file:// protocol, it's impossible to pass such hints to notify-send, because
it splits the passed argument so that it can have an unlimited number of colons,
while only 3 should be there (as per TYPE:NAME:VALUE format).
So, make `g_strsplit` to accept only 3 tokens as maximum, while pass the
remaining parameters all-together.
So now it's possible to do
notify-send -h string:image-path:file:///usr/share/icons/foo.png
