Hi,

I'm trying to build geary 3.34.1 for buster-backports. I was able to build 3.34.0 successfully, but now I'm getting this error with 3.34.1

../src/client/components/client-web-view.vala:310.9-310.38: error: The name `enable_javascript_markup' does not exist in the context of `WebKit.Settings?'

        setts.enable_javascript_markup = false;

I tried updating minimum versions of libwebkit2gtk-4.0-dev (>= 2.26~) and libjavascriptcoregtk-4.0-dev (>= 2.26~), but the error is still there. I had to relax dependency on gtk to build with libgtk-3-dev to 3.24.5 and also meson. Any other libraries I should update?

I found the upstream commit that introduced this change https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/geary/commit/0cb33c7d91cdaf6a74cb8b15c1f3e8fe952966bb

But according to this change target webkit was bumped from 2.20 to 2.24 only which buster already have (with backports having 2.26).

Thanks
