Dunst v1.12.2

[bynect]

This is the first release of 2025 and comes with an important fix to
dunstify. With the roll out of libnotify v0.8.4, older version of dunstify
started to not compile or crash when using the -r flag.

If your distribution has updated libnotify, you should update dunstify as soon
as possible to resolve these issues.

Other changes include the addition of three dbus signals, the --category
option for dunstify, the use of SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH for reproducible builds.

For more details take a look at the changelog for all the fixes and improvements.

• Add --category to dunstify (also change -c behaviour) (Add --category to dunstify #1429)
