Log Message:
Update to 2.3.0.90, 2.3.1 beta 1.
The changes since Amarok 2.3.0 (audio/amarok) include:
Features
* Persistant Queue Saving: The playlist queue is now saved when
Amarok is closed and restored upon startup. (BR 215057)
* Automated Playlist Generator: allows smart creation of
playlists that match user-specified constraints. Combines the
features of "Smart Playlists" in Amarok 1.4 with the Bias system
of Amarok 2.0.
* It's now possible to mark all episodes in a channel as old
or new at once.
* New "Upcoming Events" applet, displays future concerts for
the artist of the currently playing track. The event info is
fetched from Last.fm.
* New "Similar Artists" applet, displays a list of artists
which are similar to the one currently played. The list is
fetched from Last.fm.
* The scripting system now offers a new function for detecting
that a track has finished. Patch by Michael MacDonald
<mars@antlersoft.com>. (BR 227312)
* New "CoverBling" applet, which allows to browse your collection
in an animated 3D view. Thanks to Manu Wagner <manu.wagner@sfr.fr>.
* Support for the new System Tray technology from KDE SC 4.4.
This adds nice animations and a better looking popup menu to
the System Tray. Thanks to Aurelien Gateau <agateau@kde.org>
for the patch.
* Allow playlist layouts to group tracks by directory. (BR
230594)
* Cover fetcher: The UI was improved. Now an icon view is used
to display results, with an informational sidebar that may show
interesting bits about an image.
* Cover fetcher: Added ability to enter custom queries via
Yahoo!, Google, or Discogs (in addition to Lasf.Fm). Note the
source for automatic cover fetching is still Last.fm only.
Changes
* Allow changing the number of recently added albums in the
albums applet.
* Magnatune.com store: Added "Home" link to all artist and
album pages leading to the Magnatune.com front page.
* Magnatune.com store: Improved Magnatune.com front page.
* Magnatune.com store: Completely remove option to purhcase
single albums as this is no longer supported by Magnatune.com
and the API for doing so will be disabled in the future.
* The new file browser now supports "places".
* Added "up" and "home" buttons to the new filebrowser.
* Items in the breadcrumb navigation bar are now hidden if
there is not enough room to show all of them (similar to how
it works in Dolphin) (BR 231497)
* Improved performance (dramatic in some cases) when filtering
the Playlist (231185).
* Remove information that is already displayed elsewhere in
the playlist from the playlist tooltips.
* Make showing the playlist tooltips a per playlist layout
option.
* When bookmarking a view in the local collection, also store
(and restore) the setings for "Show Cover Art" and "Show \
Years".
(BR 230562)
* Allow moodbar files witout the leading '.' (both
.<trackfilename>.mood and <trackfilename>.mood now work)
* Change example SQL command for setting up an external database
to remove (sometimes incorrect) host name and possibly fix some
random regression in some MySQL versions. (BR 225052)
