I am definitely interested in building/trying out the new version. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I got multiple responses, thanks for the responses. And yes, I had seen the thread about bumping of the dependencies, but somehow was under (wrong) impression that released version will have necessary scripts/notes to build it.

From external user's perspective who is not on the list, this may not a good experience. You go to webkitgtk site, see new shiny release and you have no information what this release depends upon or how to build it and ultimately have to find out by trial and error.

I have one more very basic question. You can squarely blame it on my lack of understanding.

On my machine I have following libraries installed.

libwebkitgtk-3.0-0, libwebkitgtk-1.0-0

How does the new release map onto above libraries? How do I know whether I am using release 1 or 2 when it's available on various distributions. Or does it use completely different names?

I work on a product which uses Webkit GTK version as one of the core and have great respect for the team for the quality/complexity of the product they are building. I also know things are not always easy to document. If it helps, I can volunteer some of my time for documenting some this stuff if you are willing to accept my contributions. I can definitely spare few hours a week contributing to webkit community in my own small way.

Regards,

Niranjan

If you want to use the scripts mentioned by the trac page you need to get 
webkit from git or SVN.
I've updated the wiki page to make it more obvious that the
instructions aren't useful for the release tarball, but if there is
more interest we can try to make the install-dependencies script
useful for the release tarball. Installing dependencies when your
distribution provides them isn't as big of a problem, in my eye, as
when your distribution doesn't provide them.
