Some WebKit2GTK WebContext functions missing from opensuse webkit2gtk4-devel c-headers

Question

My installed version webkit2gtk4-devel 2.40.0 doesn't have all the functions, which are stated from the WebKitGTK documentation found here. The currently missing functions, which I have come across are (there are probably more):

• webkit_web_context_new_ephemeral
• webkit_web_context_new_with_website_data_manager
• webkit_web_context_set_sandbox_enabled

Also, I cannot create the objects with g_object_new, as the property website-data-manager for web context also for some reason doesn't exist.

I looked around for the functions in /usr/include/webkitgtk-6.0/webkit/WebKitWebContext.h and they do indeed seem to be missing. But if I look at /usr/include/webkitgtk-4.1/...., the functions are all there (that directory comes from my own compiled version of HEAD).

I have tried both of these repos:

• Factory
• GNOME:Next

I am thinking, that maybe the build service somehow doesn't compile it correctly, but I'm not sure. Also, I haven't posted the question on WebKitGTK forums, as I can't sign up for it for some reason and it doesn't seem very active.

The api differs from gtk3 to gtk4. WebKit Bugzilla offers a lot of clarification:
