Comment(by ryandesign@…):

 Ah, +quartz; I haven't used that.

 From the NEWS file in the libnotify 0.6.0 distfile I see:

 {{{
 NEW in 0.6.0:
 ==============

 The 0.5.1 release included changes that should not have been made on a
 stable branch.  It should have been a 0.6 series release.  So here it is.

 - Fixed #623096 Fix notify_get_server_info results


 NEW in 0.5.1:
 ==============
 - Remove explicit GTK+ 2.x linking, so that libnotify can link against
   both GTK+ 2.x or GTK+ 3.x
 }}}

 What I learn from this is:

  * 0.5.x is a stable branch after all
  * 0.5.x can use gtk2 or gtk3 (You demonstrated 0.5.2 could use gtk2)
  * there is no entry for 0.5.2

 From the NEWS file in the libnotify 0.5.2 distfile I see:

 {{{
 NEW in 0.5.2:
 ==============

 Note that the 0.5.1 release was released from the 0.6 branch in error.
 Sorry about that.

 - Fixed #623096, Use correct variable in NULL check
 - Added a macro NOTIFY_CHECK_VERSION
 }}}

 So I guess that means we can update to 0.5.2 after all.

 I incorrectly guessed they used the odd-number-is-unstable rule, based on
 experience with other GNOME software (like gtk2, glib2, and pango), and I
 could not find a libnotify web site or release announcements from which to
 learn their actual policies.
