Default A Better Undo History Panel

A verbose undo history panel that shows the name and value of the modified parameters, allows hiding and showing columns, and has a filter search. Additionally, it can have an 'infinite' undo history where only the first N states are saved normally, while the rest are stored as a string for future reference.
Lastly, create a checkbox preference to prompt the user for saving EVERY single modification of a parameter as a new state (actual behaviour), or wait until the parameter is released to save the last value modified as an undo state (new behaviour).

What's the benefit?
- The ability to see what you have actually changed. Instead of a generic 'edit FX parameter: Track X: FXName, the user could see a 'Edit "Gain" FX parameter: Track X: FXName, 3.1dB
- The possibility to see all the changes made to a specific effect or track over the course of several days, using the filter bar.

For what reason?
The actual undo history panel is functional, but lacks the information I mentioned, referred to effects.

Implementation suggestion (refer to the attachment):

[Filter:]
Edit FX parameter ReaEQ#1 'Gain' Track 1 +3.1dB 16:01:14 (The #1 should only show if there is more than once instance of the effect)
Add new track Track 9 16:01:14
Adjust "VocalBUS" volume Track 2 -2.08dB 16:01:14
|Toggle arming Track 2 ON 16:01:14 (The bar indicates that the undo states happened simultaneously)
|Toggle arming Track 3 ON 16:01:14 (So, this states will ALL be undone together)
|Toggle arming Track 4 ON 16:01:14
|Toggle arming Track 7 ON 16:01:14
Color track Track 1 FF0000 16:01:14

The extra detail would be nice to have, but I don't think I'd want to always see it.

Non-linear undo would be really cool. Sometimes I make a bunch of changes and wish I could undo a single change from a dozen steps back and keep everything after that.
