Hi! Several patches adding *some* support for LUKS2 were included in December, March and May. Also, I do remember that even earlier grub LUKS source file was splitted to 'luks1.c' and 'luks2.c', so some work was made. I didn't test luks2 myself, but the docs (https://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub/grub.html) say LUKS2 is supported, so it should work. Howerver, several commit messages mentioned that some LUKS2 features (some LUKS2 setups) are currently not supported yet. You can compile current or git version of the package and test it on experimental setup.
