ChangeLog - amarok in Amarok

Amarok ChangeLog
================
(C) 2002-2009 the Amarok authors.


VERSION 2.2.1
  FEATURES:
    * Allow changing of playlist layout item sizes using the inline editor.
    * Initial KNotify support.
    * Show total playlist file size in a tooltip when hovering over the total
      play list time. (BR 91640)
    * Implemented Jump To. Press Ctrl+J to focus the playlist search.
      (BR 92400)

  CHANGES:
    * Usability improvements in the Context View's applet tab bar.
    * Collection scanner won't scan a directory more than once if passed in
      multiple times. Should significantly speed up certain incremental
      scanning cases.
    * When doing a recursive incremental scan, the scanner will no longer scan
      subdirectories of changed directories if those subdirectories' mtimes
      have not changed, for extremely large speedups in some cases. For very
      flat collection trees, the difference is basically between a small
      incremental scan and a near full rescan.
    * Ask the user for confirmation before refetching lyrics and overwriting
      cached ones
    * It is now possible to stop editing lyrics without saving changes in
      the lyrics applet

  BUGFIXES:
    * Magnatune.com store: Fixed problematic use of external unzip command
      for unpacking downloaded album zip files. (BR 138499)
    * Magnatune.com store: Download high quality covers when purchasing or 
      downloading albums. (BR: 176177)
    * Correctly modify the Lyrics Applet's title when its state changes

    * Fadeout on track end works again.

      cover picked up by the collection scanner.
    * Sorting by track length in the playlist is now possible. (BR 208689)
    * Fixed track bookmarks not immediately getting removed from progress bar 
      when they are deleted from the bookmark manager. 
    * Fixed new track bookmarks not getting shown in the progress bar
      immediately.
    * Fixed track bookmarks not getting correctly repainted when resizing 
      progress bar. (BR 207091)
    * Correct a logic bug during incremental scanning that could cause the
      wrong tracks to be removed from the collection, requiring a full rescan.
      Should fix bug 208403 and likely multiple others. (BR 208403)
    * "Configure Amarok" dialog takes up less space, making it suitable for
      small screens.
    * Fixed photos applet not working after resuming playback. (BR 206829)

      composer of the track. (BR 208255)

    * TagLib-Extras 1.0.0 is now required. This release is compatible with the

      run, leading to frequent SQL errors.

  BUGFIXES:

      effect of this is that the last.fm action is now available for any
      artist in any collection.

    * Shoutcast service: The shoutcast list from previous versions of Amarok has

      simple demo scripts.

      own UFID frame.
    * ATF no longer requires a restart to enable or disable it.
    * ATF read-only functions are always enabled if a UID is found in the

    * When generic media devices were specified manually, transferred files
      would not always get converted to VFAT-friendly names if they were on a
      VFAT filesystem.
    * When using ATF, tags in MP3 files would be written as ID3v2 only and
      existing ID3v1 tags would be stripped, which could lead to media devices
      and tagging libraries that were not ID3v2.4-aware to report that no tag
      existed.  Now both tags are written with identical data.
    * Correct handling of filenames with special characters. (BR 132243)

    * Automatically imported playlists go into a separate category.
    * Block quitting amaroK until all on-going media device operations have

      to media devices. (BR 127155)
    * If a disc number is present, append it to the album's name when
      organizing files. (BR 126867)

      (BR 127043)
    * Dynamic mode no longer skips to the next song if you press play (via
      dcop, for instance) while already playing a track. Instead it restarts
      the current one.
    * The Actions menu has been renamed the Engage menu. It's way cooler,

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

VERSION 0.50:
  renamed 0.15 to 0.50

VERSION 0.15:
  playing streams now works! *yipeeee*
  fixed tons of bugs in aRts playing code. i think i got it right now.

  changed the direction of the volume-slider. maximum is now at the top
  added automatic saving of current playlist on exit
  added previous/next track
  added two radiobuttons in the playerwidget for toggling the
    playlist/equalizer on and off. admitted, the equalizer doesn't yet exist, so
    it's just a dummy button :P

    right mouse button. this menu finally replaces the ugly menubar.
  added some icons (from noatun) for the player-buttons instead of text
  added pause function
  changed most names in the source to comply with the
    (unofficial?) KDE c++ coding standard (using the prefix "m_" for member
    attributes and so on). This was real slave-work :/
  cleaned up code in several classes
  fixed problem where subwidgets got keyboard focus and were drawn dark with
    the liquid style. switched off focus completely, since it's not needed for
    this type of application

VERSION 0.13 (internal):
  added cute animated pushbuttons with sub-menus
  added saving playlists
  added dragging items inside of playlist widget
