Undo and Redo support is now working. Seems usable so far, but needs more testing before considering it complete.
Also fixed the outstanding crashing bug that occurs when the film strip has been clicked several times.
Created a new development snapshot, in an 0.8.0-Alpha 7 series. Was intending to release 0.8.0-Beta1 next, but I now feel 0.8.0-Alpha7 would be a more appropriate short-term step before that.
Please try out this new development snapshot.

If it's stable (doesn't crash), and works well, then we'll probably make an 0.8.0-Alpha7 release from it next weekend.

Good progress with adding undo and redo support. Initial code is in place, but there are obvious bugs that still need to be ironed out.

Made some progress as finding the bug in the timeline widget that causes a crash when the film strip has been clicked several times. Increased the resilience of the application in this scenario, but it still needs work here.
Continued working on adding undo/redo support.

Ouch. While working on the undo/redo code, found a crashing bug triggered by clicking in the film strip in a specific order. Looks like it was also present in the recent 0.8.0-alpha6 release too.
Cause of the bug is not yet known, and will take more time and effort to find and fix.

Further coding on the undo/redo functionality. It's not functioning the way I want, and I'm thinking the approach I'm taking is slightly off. Now that I'm getting more of a mental handle on the inner workings I should probably sit down with pen and paper again and redo the internal undo history design before coding more.

Began adding undo/redo functionality. Some of the basic pieces are in place and working, but it's only hooked up to layers changed through the edit dialog or adjusted via mouse in the workspace area. Still need to add undo history support for adding and removing layers, plus for slide level changes. Then probably a lot of debugging to make it work well. :)
