Style incompatibility in Gedit 47

Gedit 47 seems to contain some breaking changes related to theming. There are changes both in installing themes, as well as the actual theme files.
See https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gedit/-/blob/master/NEWS and https://gedit-technology.github.io/developer-docs/extra/libgedit-gtksourceview/style-scheme-file-format.html
Breaking changes that I found are:
- The button to manually install a theme is gone (breaking
Alternative Installation
in the readme) - Themes are now searched in
.local/share/libgedit-gtksourceview-300/styles
- There are two attribute changes in the
style-scheme
opening tag:- The
version
attribute is no longer supported - There is a new required attribute,
kind
, specifying whether this is a light or dark theme.
- The
- The
author
tag is no longer supported.
Sadly, theme files modified like this seem to be incompatible with gnome-text-editor (46.3). I'm unsure whether gnome-text-editor will make matching changes to its themes.
