GtkSourceView 4 -> libgedit-gtksourceview 299.0 Porting Guide: libgedit-gtksourceview 300 Reference Manual

## GtkSourceView 4 -> libgedit-gtksourceview 299.0 Porting Guide

## GTK dependency

Both GtkSourceView 4 and libgedit-gtksourceview 299.x.y depend on GTK 3.

## pkg-config name

The new pkg-config name is: `libgedit-gtksourceview-300`

The “3” in “300” means that it targets GTK 3.

## For Vala

For Vala code, use the GObject Introspection file, not the `*.vapi`, because the `*.vapi` file has been removed.

## For Glade

The Glade catalog has been removed, so don't rely on it.

## Paths to lang and style files

The paths to `*.lang` and style scheme files have changed. For example, `/usr/share/libgedit-gtksourceview-300/language-specs/` is the usual location where `*.lang` files are found.

## API breaks

- `GtkSourceMap` has been removed.

- `GtkSourceStyleSchemeChooserButton` and `GtkSourceStyleSchemeChooserWidget` have been removed. See the Tepl library for a replacement.

- The macros and functions to check the library version have been removed: the `gtk_source_check_version()`, `gtk_source_get_major_version()`, etc functions; as well as all the macros such as `GTK_SOURCE_CHECK_VERSION()`.

- The `GtkSourceStyleSchemeManager:scheme-ids` and `GtkSourceStyleSchemeManager:search-path` properties have been removed. Instead, you can connect to the GtkSourceStyleSchemeManager::changed signal to be notified.

  The `gtk_source_style_scheme_manager_get_scheme_ids()` function has been removed, use gtk_source_style_scheme_manager_get_schemes() instead.

  All the GtkSourceStyleScheme properties have been removed. Use the get functions instead.

  All the GtkSourceStyle properties have been removed. Use the `gtk_source_style_get_data()` function instead.
