Solved Luakit browser won't start -- any solution?

I deinstalled Luakit and then installed Luakit-devel 2.3.26,1 package on the latest FreeBSD 13-RELEASE-p2 amd64 with no warnings, although the browser refuses to start with

Code: 
NomadBSD kernel: pid 22547 (luakit), jid 0, uid 1001: exited on signal 6

in /var/log/messages, and many code info, ending by exit in ~/luakit.log

Nevertheless, Otter Browser (ex-Opera) works smoothly, besides of Chromium and Firefox.
 
I prepared for setting up a second box to install x11/xorg and www/luakit and then one by one add all the other software I installed on my box -- presuming some other software causes a conflict we didn't see yet.

But in the mean time, I was overtaken by an update of devel/glib20 yesterday, updating it to version 2.74.1,2

This leads to a different error message for both www/luakit and www/luakit-devel

Code:

'unknown character follows after' is my English translation of the original 'onbekend teken volgt na' on my (for some reason) partly Dutch output.

I made a bug report of this. Miss my favourite browser though.
 
luakit dumps core for me.

As known (to me) with Open Source software, it just takes patience to get things resolved. Yesterday evening (20230107), I ran an update on the software of my FreeBSD 13.1-RELEASE-p3 GENERIC amd64 box. There were some 300+ updates,

www/luakit-devel 2.3.26,1 --> 2.3.1.6,2
devel/glib20 2.74.3,2 --> 2.74.4,2

And LuaKit just started like noting happened before -- SOLVED

Just wonder about the version numbering -- looks to me if www/luakit-devel was set back to a previous version. That is just wondering. I'm too much of a n00b on the digital bowels on my system, just an observator. As long as it works it is OK to me. @developers: TNX for maintenance and making it work again!
