Supercollider: History

I discovered an amazing Supercollider feature today: History and HistoryGui.  I won’t spend any time explaining how they work because the help files cover that subject pretty well.  I just wanted to raise awareness that they exist and are something that could be useful to almost any Supercollider user.  

History will keep a timestamped record of all code previously executed.  This is amazingly helpful for keeping track of what changes you have made for debugging, live performance, etc.  There is much more to explore in the History class but even this basic usage makes it indispensable.

I find it so useful that I have added it as another tab in SW_Gui so I always have it available.  The new version can be downloaded here.
