Hey all,

 I just merged my branch into trunk. For those that don't know I've been 
working on a replacement for the visual waveform code as part of GSOC. 
We're going to package this code with the upcoming 'beta 4' release to 
try and discover any problems it might have. Releasing a beta4 is good 
because we've fixed a lot of critical bugs, and it would be good to 
confirm with people who reported the bugs that the issues have been 
resolved before the 1.6.0 release.

First off, you should update your version of the code, because the 
layout has changed a good deal. The brief summary is that:

1) Visual code is completely separated from Engine* code.
2) Visual code no longer lives in 'visual', but now 'waveform'.
3) The WaveSummary thread is now in charge of generating the visual 
waveform data as well as the waveform overview data.
4) The two same visual widgets are available, 'simple' and 'visual'. A 
non-GL accelerated version of this is in progress, but it's currently 
too slow to be usable compared to the GL accelerated version.
5) The code has feature parity with the old visual waveform, and more is 
coming. This is just the core of the code.

If we find that there are a lot of mysterious crashes reported in beta4, 
our plan is to roll back this merge and let me work things out in my 
branch until the problems are fixed.

Cheers,
RJ
