(C) 2002-2010 the Amarok authors.

6
VERSION 2.2.3
7
  FEATURES:
8
    * Added a configuration dialog for Local Podcasts. Update interval and base
9
      download directory can now be configured. (BR 221398)
10
    * Make it possible to go to next/previous track with horizontal mouse
11
      wheel button on TrayIcon. (BR 225783)
12
    * New main toolbar with completely redesigned look and new features.
13
      Contributed by Thomas Luebking <thomas.luebking@web.de>.
14
    * Podcasts and Saved Playlists can now be grouped by provider like iPod, Local,
15
      USB Mass Storage, etc. This can be toggled using a button in the relevant
16
      Category.
17
    * The playlist context menu now has a "Show in Media Sources" action for
18
      many types of track.
19
    * The collection scanner now also looks for cover images named
20
     "folder.*". Apparently some applications use this convention. (BR 224692)
21
    * It's now possible to automatically use a USB Mass Storage device as a
22
      collection when it's connected.
23
    * The progress bar tooltip now shows the position in the track that the
24
      cursor is hovering, making it simple to jump to a specific position.
25
    * D-Bus: Added StopAfterCurrent method for /Player.
26
    * You can now elect to rescan specific folders. Right-click on a folder in
27
      the collection setup dialog to rescan just that folder. This will only
28
      work for folders that have previously been added to the collection, i.e.
29
      you cannot check a folder and immediately rescan it. This will never be
30
      recursive (as that defeats the point of scanning a specific folder!)
31
    * Non collection files with a cue sheet will now load their tracks as
32
      individual tracks in the playlist instead of as one big track with
33
      bookmark markers.
34
    * Dynamic Collection is back. (BR 171213)
35
    * Searching covers from Last.fm using custom query in interactive mode.
36
 
37
  CHANGES:
38
    * All move/copy operations to the local collection are asynchronous.
39
    * Proper handling of disk full and permision errors for copy/move
40
      operations to the local collection.
41
    * A preview of the moving/copying operations is now shown in the Organize
42
      dialog.
43
    * Added an expander icon to the collection root items.
44
    * The equalizer configuration is now a seperate tool window accessible 
45
      from the tool menu.
46
    * Files with ogg and flac extensions can now be copied to UMS devices.
47
    * The search/filter edit in the playlist is now cleared when pressing 
48
      enter. (BR 217159)
49
    * Amarok now checks if the version of the "amarokcollectionscanner" tool
50
      is correct. Some users had issues with having mutiple versions of it
51
      installed, causing scanning to fail.
52
    * First run: Let users decided on how to handle music location set
53
      in standard desktop services.
54
    * Improved cover fetching accuracy and speed.
55
    * Usability: Better design of playback configuration dialog.
56
    * Use millisecond accuracy for track bookmarks. Backwards compatible
57
      with bookmarks stored in previos versions. (BR 215145)
58
    * Loving a track for Last.fm via the global keyboard action also show a
59
      message in the status bar.
60
    * Improved usability of the playlist layout editor dialog.
61
    * Duplicate unique file identifiers are now indicated in debug output,
62
      along with the paths of the files, when found instead of being silently
63
      ignored. This can help discover multiple copies of the same file or
64
      files which incorrectly have the same MusicBrainz unique identifier.
65
66
  BUGFIXES:
67
    * Corruption of guid strings by passing them as a KUrl caused podcast episodes
68
      to be readded on each update. This issue has been solved.
69
      If you have episodes that appear twice, remove the channel and add it again.
70
      (BR 219516)
71
    * Cleaned up the Organize dialog to make it more usable. (BR 199574)
72
    * Made it harder to Move Files unintentionally. (BR 220716)

83

84

85
    * Lyrics applet: Fixed scrollbar incorrectly displayed (and sometimes not
86
      at all) for long lyrics under KDE 4.4. (BR 222260)
87
    * Fixed bug in Photos applet that made it break with translated versions
88
      of Amarok. Patch by Bellegarde Cédric <gnumdk@gmail.com>. (BR 222566)
89
    * Lyrics applet: Fixed saving and restoring font styles. (BR 222277)
90
    * Lyrics applet: Fixed a bug where sometimes suggested URLs are not
91

100

101
102
103
VERSION 2.2.2
104
  CHANGES:
105
    * The inline playlist editor now also allows resizing of auto sized items that 
106
      are invisible because fixed sized items already use up 100% width.
107
    * Enhanced the playlist sorting breadcrumb items to separately highlight
108
      the order inversion arrow on hover. (BR 209011)
109
    * The automatic character set detection for tags has been disabled; it
110
      caused too many problems with legitimate UTF-8 tags. It can be
111
      re-enabled from Settings->Collection. (Many BRs)
112
    * Dynamic mode is now automatically disabled when replacing the playlist.
113
      (BR 214759)
114

115
      fallback. Patch by Andreas Hartmetz <ahartmetz@gmail.com>.
116
117
  BUGFIXES:

130
    * Fixed regression causing many scripted services, including the, shipped by
131
      default, LibriVox service to not work at all.
132
    * Fixed corner case that could prevent scans from being completed,
133
      manifesting as a regression in 2.2.1. Huge thanks to Christian
134
      Kreibichfor his patience and time in helping to debug this.

136
      first track. (BR 218527)

      auto sized elements not shown becuase of all space already being used.
141
      (BR 218167)
142
    * Fixed relative links in wikipedia work. (BR 218512)
143
    * Fixed multilevel playlist sorting by time since last played so it sorts
144
      numerically rather than alphabetically. (BR 214761)
145
    * Fixed crash with "Edit Track Details" dialog. (BR 217625)
146
    * Fixed a number of cases where markers such as "current track", "stop after 
147
      this track" and others would get shown in both group header and the first 
148
      track in the group. (BR 197842)
149
    * Fixed regression causing non default moodbar styles to not work.
150
    * Jamendo.com service: Fixed track lengths not getting shown for most tracks.
151
      For existing installs, this requires a redownload of the Jamendo database.

153
    * Jamendo.com service: Fixed searches not working because of SQL errors.
154

      playlist. (BR 216175)
159
    * Fixed crash if user clicks rating widget on the current track applet
160
      while no track is playing (which is possible since there is a slight
161
      delay before the applet switches "mode"). (BR 215471)
162
    * Made "Last.fm Love" (and potentially other global actions avaiable for all 
163
      tracks) correctly show up in the Current Track applet.

    * Moved the "Playlist Layout" button into the main menu, as the playlist

227
      PowerTOP when using the Xine backend.
228

      checks upon full rescans.
338
    * Removal of most SQL during scan result parsing means enormous speedups
339
      during collection scanning. (BR 210201)
340
    * Usability improvements for the Videoclip applet.
341
    * Restore the proper custom bias when switching between saved biases (BR 209350).
342
    * Don't crash when receiving bogus data from Last.Fm when asking for
343
      recommended songs (BR 208173).
344
    * UMS device plugin now checks MIME types of tracks both by content and
345
      filename. Thanks to Aran Cox <aroncox@gmail.com> for the patch.
346
    * Some optimization of SQL queries during scan to speed things up. (BR
347
      210201)
348
    * Use an emblem for indicating a podcast episode is on disk. (BR 209433)
349
    * Scanning speedups by getting rid of unnecessary code paths and
350
      optimizing some queries. Patch by Egbert König <e.kunig@home.nl>.

      (BR 209822)
352

361
    * Usability improvements in the Context View's applet tab bar.
362
    * Collection scanner won't scan a directory more than once if passed in
363
      multiple times. Should significantly speed up certain incremental
364
      scanning cases.
365
    * When doing a recursive incremental scan, the scanner will no longer scan
366
      subdirectories of changed directories if those subdirectories' mtimes
367
      have not changed, for extremely large speedups in some cases. For very
368
      flat collection trees, the difference is basically between a small
369
      incremental scan and a near full rescan.
370
    * Ask the user for confirmation before refetching lyrics and overwriting
371
      cached ones.
372

384
    * Fixed crashes with Icecast Directory script. (BR 206579)

402
    * The On Screen Display now uses a sane font size with all display
403
      resolutions. (BR 195186)
404
    * Fix rare regression where inaccessible subfolders (due to permissions)
405
      in the collection could not be picked up by an incremental scan when
406
      permissions were fixed and their mtime updated, requiring a full rescan.
407
    * When using a MySQL server with "Watch Folders For Changes" disabled,
408
      very long periods of idle Amarok could allow the server to close the
409
      local connection. This is now detected and should be worked around. 
410
    * Correctly set the lyrics applet's title when displaying HTML formatted lyrics
411

412

1294

1295

1298

1308
      actions to any item in any collection. This is only used for the "play
1309
      similar artists from last.fm" currently, but it allows this kind of
1310
      action to be added without hardcoding it in the core. The immidiate
1311
      effect of this is that the last.fm action is now available for any
1312
      artist in any collection.
1313
    * New "playground" directory added for plugins and applets that are not
1314

    * When using ATF, tags in MP3 files would be written as ID3v2 only and
2307
      existing ID3v1 tags would be stripped, which could lead to media devices
2308
      and tagging libraries that were not ID3v2.4-aware to report that no tag
2309
      existed.  Now both tags are written with identical data.

      dcop, for instance) while already playing a track. Instead it restarts
2392

2394
      right? I mean, Star Trek is really cool, right?

    * Images shown on OSD where incorrect for action notifications.
3626

4422

4423
  added restarting of artsd on first program start to make sure it registers
4424
    the new mcopclasses
4425
  fixed possible compile error in viswidget.cpp
4426
  amaroK uses much less CPU now than it used to. This was mainly achieved by
4427
    using a new FFT-analyzer module, which I took from Noatuns "Winskin"-plugin,
4428
    and modified slightly to my needs. Also some other optimizations were made,
4429
    which improved the standby performance, when no song is playing. I'm still
4430
    not satisfied with overall performance, tho, but it seems that most of the
4431
    load is produced by the aRts code itself, so this will rather be difficult
4432
    to improve.
4433
  fixed crash when "next" or "previous" was pressed without a track
4434
    loaded
4435
  thanks to valgrind I was able to find and squish some serious bugs,
4436
    most of which were related to pointers. to sum it up: pointers are evil.
4437
    valgrind is great.
4438
  lots of UI-changes in the main widget. uses a background pixmap now, a
4439
    custom font and widget for the time-display, and generally looks better
4440
  fixed issues with the liquid skin. unfortunately, there seems to be no way
4441
    to display pushbuttons correctly with a black background under liquid. so,
4442
    until I find a solution for that, the expandbutton widget doesn't look quite
4443
    as cool as it used to. maybe I should ask mosfet about this..
4444
4445
VERSION 0.50:
4446
  renamed 0.15 to 0.50
4447
4448

4456

  added previous/next track
4464
  added two radiobuttons in the playerwidget for toggling the
4465
    playlist/equalizer on and off. admitted, the equalizer doesn't yet exist, so
4466
    it's just a dummy button :P
4467
  added popup-menu for the playerwidget. opens on
4468
    right mouse button. this menu finally replaces the ugly menubar.
4469
  added some icons (from noatun) for the player-buttons instead of text
4470
  added pause function
4471
  changed most names in the source to comply with the
4472
    (unofficial?) KDE c++ coding standard (using the prefix "m_" for member
4473
    attributes and so on). This was real slave-work :/
4474
  cleaned up code in several classes
4475
  fixed problem where subwidgets got keyboard focus and were drawn dark with
4476
    the liquid style. switched off focus completely, since it's not needed for
4477
    this type of application
