About GHex ========== GHex is a hex editor for the GNOME desktop.
GHex can load raw data from binary files and display them for editing in the traditional hex editor view. The display is split in two columns, with hexadecimal values in one column and the ASCII representation in the other. A useful tool for working with raw data. News ==== 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.
