Re: ANNOUNCE: gtkentrymask - gtkentry with masks and types

[Santiago Capel <bluefish ono com>]

Following the suggestions of Havoc, I have renamed the project gtkentrymask
to gtkwidgexts. You can find it now at:

http://gtkwidgexts.sourceforge.net


I have changed the namespace to gtkx, so the GtkEntryMask widget is now
named GtkxEntryMask, and so the rest of widgets, filenames, etc.

Merry Christmas,
    Santi
