Devhelp is a quite old piece of software (created in 2001), and as every software, the code evolves during its lifetime. So there are sometimes API breaks. We try to not break applications depending on the Devhelp API. But if we see that a certain API is used nowhere else than the Devhelp application itself (or is dead code), we don't hesitate to break the API to improve the code.
Currently we try to not break Anjuta and gnome-builder. If your application is not listed and depends on the Devhelp API and is Free Software, please speak up.
3.24 -> 3.25.1
All deprecated APIs have been removed.
dh-error.h is now private.
The
DhApp
,DhAssistant
andDhWindow
classes are now private.DhApp
is a subclass ofGtkApplication
, and an application can have only oneGtkApplication
instance, so as-isDhApp
didn't make sense in the library (what if two different libraries have both a subclass ofGtkApplication
?). SinceDhAssistant
andDhWindow
depend onDhApp
, they are now also private.The
DhLanguage
class is now private, it's currently used only internally by DhBookManager.-
Due to DhBookManager being now a singleton, there has been the following API changes:
dh_assistant_view_set_book_manager()
has been removed.dh_keyword_model_set_words()
has been removed.The
DhBookTree:book-manager
property has been removed.API break for dh_book_tree_new().
