* adding new cps changes the link into light blue in panorama preview and dark blue in link editor.
* added cps have their rms calculated
* adding cp is now a threaded mecanism with progress bar ( to handle long delay in fisheye matching )
* deleting some cps change the corresponding link to blue.
* after optimizing, everything goes back to green/orange/red.

'''IMPROVED''' - 1.4 a3 - Layer editor :

'''IMPROVED''' - 1.4 a3 - Panorama editor :
* Crop : you can fix a ratio ( 2:1 or 6:17 ) when cropping.
* Crop : direct button to get the full sphere (360x180) zone.
* The engine behind the panorama editor has been totally changed. It's should be far more stable and it will allow to make a great improvement in speed in this area now. You can already see that in action with the level tool ( far quicker now ). Perhaps, this big change could have broke some features, but we checked them all.
