+  <title>Migrating to VTE 0.30</title>
+
+  <para>
+    VTE 0.30 breaks API and ABI from ealier versions. This chapter details
+    the changes you need to make to your programme to adapt.
+  </para>
+
+  <para>
+    VTE now requires GTK+ 3.0; GTK+ 2.0 is no longer supported.

+
+    <para>
+      The VTE pkg-config file was renamed to <literal>vte-2.92.pc</literal>. Use

+    <title>Include headers</title>
+
+    <para>
+      All public VTE functions are exported from the

+      the only VTE header that you can include directly.

+    <title>Public struct members</title>
+
+    <para>
+      Direct access to struct members has been removed, so you need to use
+      their accessor functions instead, or the corresponding object property.

+      vte_terminal_set_color_dim,
+      vte_terminal_set_color_bold,
+      vte_terminal_set_color_cursor, and
+      vte_terminal_set_color_highlight
+      functions, as well as their <link linkend="GdkRGBA">GdkRGBA</link> variants
+      that were added in VTE 0.28.
+      Note further that in order for the cursor, reverse and selection background
+      colours to apply instead of the default effect which is to reverse the foreground and
+      background of the text, you must also set the
+      <link linkend="VteTerminal--cursor-effect">cursor-effect</link>
+      <link linkend="VteTerminal--cursor-effect">reverse-effect</link>
+      or <link linkend="VteTerminal--cursor-effect">selection-effect</link> style property to
+      <literal>VTE_TERMINAL_EFFECT_COLOR</literal>.
+    </para>
+
+    <para>
+      All background handling has been replaced by the
+      <link linkend="VteTerminal--background-pattern">background-pattern</link>
+      style property. This replaces the
+      vte_terminal_set_background_tint_color,
+      vte_terminal_set_background_tint_color_rgba,
+      vte_terminal_set_background_saturation,
+      vte_terminal_set_background_transparent,
+      vte_terminal_set_background_image,
+      vte_terminal_set_background_image_file and
+      vte_terminal_set_opacity
+      functions. Note that in order to make the background appear, you also need
+      to set the alpha component in the palette colours to a value less than <literal>1.0</literal>.
+    </para>
+
+    <para>
+      All font handling has been replaced by the
+      <link linkend="VteTerminal--font">font</link> style property.
+      This replaces the
+      vte_terminal_set_font,
+      vte_terminal_set_font_full,
+      vte_terminal_set_font_from_string, and
+      vte_terminal_set_font_from_string_full
+      functions, and the font-desc object property.
+      Note that if you just want to change the font scale, there is a new
+      <link linkend="VteTerminal--font-scape">font-scale</link> object property
+      that you can set instead of changing the font.
