[texworks] new PDF previewer code : is it solved ?

Hi,

0.6.1 is still absolutely unusable at least on OS X.
The problem pointed out some time ago by Wojciech Myszka in

http://tug.org/pipermail/texworks/2016q1/006430.html

is still there.

If it helps, here is the end of the samples when texworks hangs

                            2654 QtPDF::Backend::PopplerQt::convertAnnotation(QtPDF::Annotation::AbstractAnnotation*, Poppler::Annotation const*, QWeakPointer<QtPDF::Backend::Page>)  (in TeXworks) + 135  [0x101a13d77]
                              2654 QtPDF::Backend::PopplerQt::Page::pageSizeF() const  (in TeXworks) + 44  [0x101a1918c]
                                2654 QReadWriteLock::lockForRead()  (in QtCore) + 438  [0x102e75ff6]
                                  2654 QWaitCondition::wait(QMutex*, unsigned long)  (in QtCore) + 162  [0x102e7d362]
                                    2654 QWaitConditionPrivate::wait(unsigned long)  (in QtCore) + 75  [0x102e7d4ab]
                                      2654 __psynch_cvwait  (in libsystem_kernel.dylib) + 10  [0x7fff955eb136]

At first glance, the Poppler library may cause the problem.
