Note: vte-0.40 (gnome-3.16) is out.

The API is backwards compatible with 0.38. As an addition, it brings back the word-chars support which was dropped in 0.38.

Internally the biggest change is that the scrollback buffer's contents are written to the disk compressed and encrypted rather than in plaintext. This fixes a privacy issue that many people were concerned about, so it'd be great if you could port to the newest vte api.
