<title>API Breaks</title>
<para>
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.

<para>
The <link linkend="GeditWindow-active-tab-changed">GeditWindow::active-tab-changed</link>
signal has a different API: the tab parameter has been removed and the
signal is also called when the active tab becomes NULL.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
The <code>GeditWindow::active-tab-state-changed</code> signal has been
removed. It was unused and was anyway there for convenience (it was
not an essential API).
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
The <code>GeditWindow::tabs-reordered</code> signal has been removed.
It was unused. Also, functions like
<link linkend="gedit-window-get-documents">gedit_window_get_documents()</link>
don't specify the order in which the objects are listed.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
The <code>GeditTab::drop-uris</code> signal has been removed. You can
use the <link linkend="GeditView-drop-uris">GeditView::drop-uris</link>
signal instead (it is the same).

The <code>gedit_app_set_window_title()</code> function is now private.
The window title is handled by the gedit core and should not be
altered by plugins.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
The <code>gedit_app_process_window_event()</code> function is now
private. The function should be only useful to the gedit core, not
plugins.

The <code>gedit_window_create_tab_from_location()</code> and

followed by
<link linkend="gedit-tab-load-file">gedit_tab_load_file()</link> or

The <code>gedit_document_is_untitled()</code> function has been

instead. If the location is <code>NULL</code>, it means that the
document is untitled. The <link linkend="TeplFile">TeplFile</link>

<link linkend="tepl-buffer-get-file">tepl_buffer_get_file()</link>

<para>
For <link linkend="gedit-document-get-metadata">gedit_document_get_metadata()</link>
and <link linkend="gedit-document-set-metadata">gedit_document_set_metadata()</link>,
the key names should now have the prefix <code>"gedit-"</code> with
possibly an additional namespace for the plugin name, for example
<code>"gedit-spell-foobar"</code>. So the key names are now the same
regardless of the operating system, and the key names should no longer
start with <code>"metadata::"</code>.
