Notes
From the end user point of view there won't be many differences between libvisual 0.4.0 and Libvisual 0.2.0. However under the hood this release is a milestone. The changes will become more apparant with the upcoming release of Libvisual 0.6.0 and Libvisual 0.8.0.
The new feature list is by far not complete but these are the most concrete things. Improvements are on such a wide scale that they can't be listed all. For specific details look into the ChangeLog that is included in the package / CVS reposity.
