gedit is a quite old piece of software (created in 1998, at the beginnings of the GNOME project), and as every software, the code evolves during its lifetime. So there are sometimes API breaks for gedit plugins, there are no API stability guarantees.
The GeditWindow::active-tab-changed signal has a different API: the tab parameter has been removed and the signal is also called when the active tab becomes NULL.
The GeditWindow::active-tab-state-changed
signal has been
removed. It was unused and was anyway there for convenience (it was
not an essential API).
The GeditWindow::tabs-reordered
signal has been removed.
It was unused. Also, functions like
gedit_window_get_documents()
don't specify the order in which the objects are listed.
The GeditTab::drop-uris
signal has been removed. You can
use the GeditView::drop-uris
signal instead (it is the same).
The gedit_utils_location_get_dirname_for_display()
function has been removed.
The gedit_app_set_window_title()
function is now private.
The window title is handled by the gedit core and should not be
altered by plugins.
The gedit_app_process_window_event()
function is now
private. The function should be only useful to the gedit core, not
plugins.
The gedit_window_get_side_panel() function now returns a TeplPanel.
The gedit_statusbar_new()
and
gedit_statusbar_set_window_state()
functions have been
removed.
The gedit_utils_set_atk_name_description()
function has
been removed.
Vala plugins need to rely on the GObject Introspection file instead of the vapi. The latter is no longer generated.
The gedit_window_create_tab_from_location()
and
gedit_window_create_tab_from_stream()
functions have been
removed, use
gedit_window_create_tab()
followed by
gedit_tab_load_file() or
gedit_tab_load_stream()
instead.
When an URI is added to the
GtkRecentManager,
the groups
field of
GtkRecentData
is no longer set. You can rely on the application name instead.
The gedit_document_get_language()
function has been
removed, use
gtk_source_buffer_get_language()
instead.
The gedit_document_get_short_name_for_display()
function has been
removed, use
tepl_file_get_short_name()
instead.
The gedit_document_is_untitled()
function has been
removed, use
tepl_file_get_location()
instead. If the location is NULL
, it means that the
document is untitled. The TeplFile
object should be retrieved with
tepl_buffer_get_file()
(GeditDocument inherits from
TeplBuffer).
The gedit_statusbar_set_overwrite()
and gedit_statusbar_clear_overwrite()
functions have been removed.
All previously deprecated APIs have been removed.
The GeditProgressInfoBar
class has been removed, you can
use TeplProgressInfoBar
instead.
GeditDocument is now a subclass of TeplBuffer.
The GeditDocument::cursor-moved
signal has been removed.
You can use the TeplBuffer API
instead.
The gedit_document_get_uri_for_display()
function has
been removed from the public API.
The GeditDocument:shortname
property has been removed.
You can use the TeplFile API instead.
The gedit_document_is_untouched()
function has been
removed. You can use the TeplBuffer
API instead.
The gedit_view_set_font()
function has been removed.
DEBUG_METADATA
has been removed.
All previously deprecated APIs have been removed.
The lockdown support has been removed (for the
org.gnome.desktop.lockdown GSettings). So the
gedit_app_get_lockdown()
function has been removed.
The GBOOLEAN_TO_POINTER()
and
GPOINTER_TO_BOOLEAN()
macros have been removed from
gedit-utils.h
.
The gedit_utils_get_current_workspace()
,
gedit_utils_get_window_workspace()
and
gedit_utils_get_current_viewport()
functions have been
removed because workspaces information is not available on Wayland.
All previously deprecated APIs have been removed.
The GeditDocument:use-gvfs-metadata
property has been
removed. But there was anyway a warning for not using that property in
a gedit plugin.
For gedit_document_get_metadata()
and gedit_document_set_metadata(),
the key names should now have the prefix "gedit-"
with
possibly an additional namespace for the plugin name, for example
"gedit-spell-foobar"
. So the key names are now the same
regardless of the operating system, and the key names should no longer
start with "metadata::"
.
