Great. I will make the change.

I think we will need to drop the support for old release before bumping up this wpewebkit version. The inability to use Yocto releases before Kirkstone stems from the fact that these older releases do not provide a compiler compatible with C++20, leading to compilation errors such as:

1. Error: No member named 'bit_width' in namespace 'std'.
2. Error: 'operator delete' cannot take a dependent type as the first parameter.

These errors prevent the successful compilation of the codebase, hindering development and deployment processes. Upgrading to Kirkstone or later releases of Yocto, which offer compatible compilers with support for C++20 features. This is necessary to address these issues right now.
