==============
GHex 4.alpha.2
==============

As can be seen from the git logs, many commits have been made since 4.alpha.1.
The plurality of the effort went into getting as close as possible to an
API/ABI I'm happy with respect to libgtkhex, and documenting same. To that end,
the GtkHex widget has been renamed to HexWidget, so that we don't pollute the
GTK namespace. I recognize that this has been its name for 20+ years, but since
this is a new impending major release, API can be broken. It is not part of GTK
and never has been, so placing it under that namespace was confusing.

I was on the fence about calling this a beta, but there have been so many
changes, so I'll let things cook for a bit and ensure that the API is where I
want it to be for libgtkhex 4.0.0 before declaring a beta and being in an API
freeze.
