615
      action to be added without hardcoding it in the core. The immidiate

      effect of this is that the last.fm action is now available for any
617
      artist in any collection.

      The service frameworks also offers for free, or makes it very simple to
950
      add features such as cached albumcover downloads, searching and filtering
951
      to the individual services. Services can also be track providers, meaning
952
      that if amarok recieves a url that one of the services knows how to

1533
      automatically disabled the first time you run 1.4.2 if you had it enabled
1534
      from 1.4.2-beta1. (It will still be available in subversion snapshots.)

1536
      pressing disconnect button. (BR 129716)

1548
    * Tag Editing Dialog is now ATF-enabled.
1549
    * In-line tag editing is now ATF-enabled.
1550
    * Previously, using ATF with MP3 files would wipe out existing UFID frames

1552
      own UFID frame.
1553
    * ATF no longer requires a restart to enable or disable it.
1554
    * ATF read-only functions are always enabled if a UID is found in the

1557
    * ATF will now automatically run the rescan and clear the Playlist only on
1558

1560
      since the last time it was enabled.
1561

1609
      would not always get converted to VFAT-friendly names if they were on a
1610
      VFAT filesystem.
1611
    * When using ATF, tags in MP3 files would be written as ID3v2 only and
1612
      existing ID3v1 tags would be stripped, which could lead to media devices
1613
      and tagging libraries that were not ID3v2.4-aware to report that no tag
1614
      existed.  Now both tags are written with identical data.
1615

3301
3302
VERSION 1.0-beta4:
3303

3357
  CHG: Small player-window can be switched off now.
3358
  FIX: CollectionBrowser out of order after scanning.

3362

  CHG: The collection-thread now inserts its data in a temporary database while
3379
       scanning, which allows us to safely use the collection in the meantime.
3380
       This is done by two concurrent sqlite-connections (thread-safe). Wrote a
3381
       new class named CollectionDB, which handles the database communication
3382
       for the collection.
3383

3397
  CHG: Random Mode now respects the playlist filter and only picks items, which are
3398
       currently visible in the playlist. Also removed a crash situation.

3400
       offering direct and specific access to the metadata.

3419
  ADD: clicking shuffle will sort the playlist by the nextQueue first, and
3420
       randomise the rest

3727
  added a Tip of the Day at startup to explain the user interface a bit
3728
  added restarting of artsd on first program start to make sure it registers
3729
    the new mcopclasses
3730
  fixed possible compile error in viswidget.cpp
3731
  amaroK uses much less CPU now than it used to. This was mainly achieved by
3732
    using a new FFT-analyzer module, which I took from Noatuns "Winskin"-plugin,
3733
    and modified slightly to my needs. Also some other optimizations were made,
3734
    which improved the standby performance, when no song is playing. I'm still
3735
    not satisfied with overall performance, tho, but it seems that most of the
3736
    load is produced by the aRts code itself, so this will rather be difficult
3737
    to improve.
3738
  fixed crash when "next" or "previous" was pressed without a track
3739
    loaded
3740
  thanks to valgrind I was able to find and squish some serious bugs,
3741
    most of which were related to pointers. to sum it up: pointers are evil.
3742
    valgrind is great.
3743
  lots of UI-changes in the main widget. uses a background pixmap now, a
3744
    custom font and widget for the time-display, and generally looks better
3745
  fixed issues with the liquid skin. unfortunately, there seems to be no way
3746
    to display pushbuttons correctly with a black background under liquid. so,
3747
    until I find a solution for that, the expandbutton widget doesn't look quite
3748
    as cool as it used to. maybe I should ask mosfet about this..
3749
3750
VERSION 0.50:
3751
  renamed 0.15 to 0.50
3752
3753

3759
    Whitehawk Stormchaser for that one :)

3761

3768
  added previous/next track
3769
  added two radiobuttons in the playerwidget for toggling the
3770
    playlist/equalizer on and off. admitted, the equalizer doesn't yet exist, so
3771
    it's just a dummy button :P
3772
  added popup-menu for the playerwidget. opens on
3773
    right mouse button. this menu finally replaces the ugly menubar.
3774
  added some icons (from noatun) for the player-buttons instead of text
3775
  added pause function
3776
  changed most names in the source to comply with the
3777
    (unofficial?) KDE c++ coding standard (using the prefix "m_" for member
3778
    attributes and so on). This was real slave-work :/
3779
  cleaned up code in several classes
3780
  fixed problem where subwidgets got keyboard focus and were drawn dark with
3781
    the liquid style. switched off focus completely, since it's not needed for
3782
    this type of application
