thanks for the new development release! I just tried to build it, but
failed unfortunately:

1. The new, now recommended way using meson fails early due to
     cannot locate ITS rules for org.xfce.thunar.policy.in

Diffing file org.xfce.thunar.policy.in with 4.20's version showed no
difference, so I thought I'd go the ./autogen.sh way; but:

2. after generating configure etc., running make shows:

  make[3]: *** No rule to make target 'thunarx-visibility.c', needed by 'libthunarx_3_la-thunarx-visibility.lo'.  Stop.

3. After adding --enable-maintainer-mode to the configure command, the
   missing file gets generated.

The various docfiles which get generated during, at least 4.20's, build
process, however, don't land in --docdir=%{_datadir}/xfce4/thunar, which
is why I have disabled building docs at all:

  --disable-gtk-doc

I believe the released tarball needs some rebuilding.

HTH, cheers.
