webkit2gtk version 2.30.0-1 is already in groovy-proposed. So it probably will be part of Ubuntu 20.10.

And for older Ubuntu releases see FAQ #3037: “no rolling release”.

Hi thanks for the reply.Since webkitgtk is widely used and previously it was backported ,(last stable release as well),are there no plans to backport

If it is backported to 20.04 and 18.04 ,it would be more helpful

The latest version of webkitgtk has many fixes https://webkitgtk.org/2020/09/11/webkitgtk2.30.0-released.html , compared to older stable version. Also since 20.10 is not released yet to move,it would be helpful if it is backported to 20.04

Did you read FAQ #3037 and the documents linked from there about updates in already published Ubuntu Releases?

What is the difference between version 2.28.4 and 2.30 besides bug fixes?
