<p>As noted on <a class="issue-link js-issue-link" data-error-text="Failed to load issue title" data-id="453812109" data-permission-text="Issue title is private" data-url="https://github.com/geany/geany/issues/2178" data-hovercard-type="pull_request" data-hovercard-url="/geany/geany/pull/2178/hovercard" href="https://github.com/geany/geany/pull/2178">#2178</a> and many other previous issues/PRs etc actually integrating large changes is difficult.</p>
<p>Starting as a small project Geany has many functionalities integrated in code, and they need to be disintegrated <g-emoji class="g-emoji" alias="grin" fallback-src="https://github.githubassets.com/images/icons/emoji/unicode/1f601.png">😁</g-emoji> to allow other (probably plugin) code to take them over.</p>
<p>I am afraid I don't have any new insights, just the same as I have said before, git branches, separate these radical makeovers from the stable version until they are ready to replace it, then release Geany 2.xxx to show its a major change.</p>
<p>And (dare I say it) do a GTK and break some stuff, but with plenty of warning.</p>
