1446       collection when it's connected.

1452       work for folders that have previously been added to the collection, i.e.
1453       you cannot check a folder and immediately rescan it. This will never be
1454       recursive (as that defeats the point of scanning a specific folder!)
1455     * Non collection files with a cue sheet will now load their tracks as
1456       individual tracks in the playlist instead of as one big track with
1457       bookmark markers.

1477       in standard desktop services.
1478     * Improved cover fetching accuracy and speed.

1483       message in the status bar.

1485     * Duplicate unique file identifiers are now indicated in debug output,
1486       along with the paths of the files, when found instead of being silently
1487       ignored. This can help discover multiple copies of the same file or
1488       files which incorrectly have the same MusicBrainz unique identifier.
1489 
1490   BUGFIXES:
1491     * Prevent custom sliders from allocating a lot of pixmap resources (xrestop)
1492     * Fix multiple busy indicators being shown in the Context View. (BR 208102)
1493     * Corruption of guid strings by passing them as a KUrl caused podcast episodes
1494       to be readded on each update. This issue has been solved.
1495       If you have episodes that appear twice, remove the channel and add it again.
1496       (BR 219516)

1533       the order inversion arrow on hover. (BR 209011)
1534     * The automatic character set detection for tags has been disabled; it

1570     * Fixed crash with "Edit Track Details" dialog. (BR 217625)
1571     * Fixed a number of cases where markers such as "current track", "stop after

1579     * Jamendo.com service: Removed broken "Unknown" genre which would freeze

1585       while no track is playing (which is possible since there is a slight
1586       delay before the applet switches "mode"). (BR 215471)
1587     * Made "Last.fm Love" (and potentially other global actions avaiable for all

1762       checks upon full rescans.
1763     * Removal of most SQL during scan result parsing means enormous speedups
1764       during collection scanning. (BR 210201)
1765     * Usability improvements for the Videoclip applet.

1768       recommended songs (BR 208173).
1769     * UMS device plugin now checks MIME types of tracks both by content and
1770       filename. Thanks to Aran Cox <aroncox@gmail.com> for the patch.

1777     * New main toolbar and renaming of ToolbarNG to Slim Toolbar.

1786     * Usability improvements in the Context View's applet tab bar.
1787     * Collection scanner won't scan a directory more than once if passed in
1788       multiple times. Should significantly speed up certain incremental

1791       subdirectories of changed directories if those subdirectories' mtimes
1792       have not changed, for extremely large speedups in some cases. For very
1793       flat collection trees, the difference is basically between a small
1794       incremental scan and a near full rescan.
1795     * Ask the user for confirmation before refetching lyrics and overwriting
1796       cached ones.
1797     * It is now possible to stop editing lyrics without saving changes in

1809     * Fixed crashes with Icecast Directory script. (BR 206579)
1810     * Enabled C++ exceptions handling in Amarok. This fixes various crashes
1811       with liblastfm. (BR 212115)

1813       takes precedence. (BR 178056)

1815       (BR 208468) (BR 211015)

1819       contained the default MusicBrainz UUID. Patch by Egbert König

1826     * Automatic playlist scrolling was broken in some cases. (BR 193459)
1827     * The On Screen Display now uses a sane font size with all display
1828       resolutions. (BR 195186)
1829     * Fix rare regression where inaccessible subfolders (due to permissions)
1830       in the collection could not be picked up by an incremental scan when
1831       permissions were fixed and their mtime updated, requiring a full rescan.
1832     * When using a MySQL server with "Watch Folders For Changes" disabled,
1833       very long periods of idle Amarok could allow the server to close the
1834       local connection. This is now detected and should be worked around. 
1835     * Correctly set the lyrics applet's title when displaying HTML formatted lyrics
1836     * Track selection is now correctly preserved when using Dynamic Playlists.
1837       Patch by John Atkinson <john@fauxnetic.co.uk>. (BR 208349)
1838     * Cover Manager no longer stops when one cover cannot be fetched. Patch by
1839       Tycho Andersen <kdebugs@tycho.ws>. (BR 205032)

1843       downloading albums. (BR 176177)

1869       small screens.

1871     * Fixed regression where the genre field in the Tag Dialog would show the

1873     * Don't reshuffle the playlist every time the active track changes when
1874     * using a random sort order.

3070       add features such as cached albumcover downloads, searching and filtering
3071       to the individual services. Services can also be track providers, meaning

3575       users with read-only music stores take advantage of it.
3576     * Don't report "/dev/hd" style devices as new media devices. (BR 127831)

3588       in rare circumstances using SQLite. (BR 133072)
3589     * Collection scanner would only restart a maximum of 2 times instead of
3590       20. (fixed in SVN revision 578922)
3591     * MTP media device support would not compile against libmtp versions >=
3592       0.0.12. (fixed in SVN revision 576121)
3593     * AudioCD playback would stutter and sometimes freeze Amarok. (BR 133015)

3628     * Media and collection browser tabs now support dropping.

3632     * Show error messages when connecting to last.fm streams fails.

3634       to iTunes, Firefly Media Server etc. (BR 100513)
3635     * Dynamic Collection: improved support for songs on removable external
3636       harddisks, SMB and NFS shares
3637 
3638   CHANGES:
3639     * Skip tracks that failed to transfer to media devices instead of stopping

3642     * Lift size limit on pathnames and comments in collection databases not
3643       managed by MySQL. (BR 130585)
3644     * Generic media device plugin is improved. Users can configure supported

3650       streams.
3651     * Advanced Tag Features (ATF) deferred to 1.4.3: Public release delayed
3652       pending some bug fixes in both Amarok and a dependency. It will be
3653       automatically disabled the first time you run 1.4.2 if you had it enabled
3654       from 1.4.2-beta1. (It will still be available in subversion snapshots.)
3655     * Optionally finish transferring all queued tracks to media device after
3656       pressing disconnect button. (BR 129716)
3657     * It's now possible to edit scores and ratings for multiple tracks in
3658       TagDialog.

3667       files are moved.
3668     * Tag Editing Dialog is now ATF-enabled.
3669     * In-line tag editing is now ATF-enabled.
3670     * Previously, using ATF with MP3 files would wipe out existing UFID frames
3671       from other applications. Now Amarok plays nicely and only touches its
3672       own UFID frame.
3673     * ATF no longer requires a restart to enable or disable it.
3674     * ATF read-only functions are always enabled if a UID is found in the

3677     * ATF will now automatically run the rescan and clear the Playlist only on
3678       the first time it is enabled.  After that it will simply display an info
3679       reminding users that they may need a rescan if their library has changed
3680       since the last time it was enabled.
3681

3688     * Double colons in the collection filter would lead to invalid queries.
3689       (BR 132551)
3690     * Handle changed semantics of MySQL 5.0.23+ (BR 132114)
3691     * Do not try to detach() KURLs, as this would not work for non-ascii urls.
3692       (BR 132355)
3693     * Adding songs while at end of playlist could crash in dynamic mode.
3694       Patch by Joe Rabinoff <rabinoff@post.harvard.edu>. (BR 128340)
3695     * Don't update accessdate when setting songs rating or score. (BR 132274)

3707       <trisk-bug@quasarnet.org>. (BR 131377)
3708     * Correctly pass links containing parentheses to external browsers. Patch
3709       by Thomas Lindroth <tholi945@student.liu.se>. (BR 131307)

3711     * Carry over rounding increments to next larger unit for fuzzy time
3712       display. (BR 131383)

3724       fix problems with too many orphaned and stale items. (BR 126431)
3725     * Correct action of queueing current item in dynamic mode. (BR 130313)
3726     * Double clicking in the filebrowser will append to playlist. (BR 117465)
3727     * Fixed problems with last.fm streams containing spaces, e.g. "Hip Hop".
3728     * When generic media devices were specified manually, transferred files
3729       would not always get converted to VFAT-friendly names if they were on a
3730       VFAT filesystem.
3731     * When using ATF, tags in MP3 files would be written as ID3v2 only and
3732       existing ID3v1 tags would be stripped, which could lead to media devices
3733       and tagging libraries that were not ID3v2.4-aware to report that no tag
3734       existed.  Now both tags are written with identical data.
3735     * Correct handling of filenames with special characters. (BR 132243)

3787       you want to maintain it, grab it from SVN and release on kde-apps.org.

3789       now always one. (BR 120044)

3797       it was causing crashes for many people.
3798     * Usability improvements for the Script Manager, including a tree view.

3815     * Dynamic mode no longer skips to the next song if you press play (via

3817       the current one.
3818     * The Actions menu has been renamed the Engage menu. It's way cooler,
3819       right? I mean, Star Trek is really cool, right?
3820     * Multiple podcasts can be configured at once by selecting multiple channels
3821       or by configuring the children of a folder.
3822

3847     * Stop tags with different capitalisation being treated as the same
3848       when building the collection.
3849     * Make database connections actually get closed when no longer used.
3850       (BR 123113)
3851     * xine engine would truncate the last seconds of a track, if no other
3852       track followed in the playlist.
3853     * Fixed AudioCD playback with xine-engine. Patch by Markus Kaufhold
3854       <M.Kaufhold@gmx.de>. (BR 127388)
3855     * If dynamic mode was turned on and then off, the previous random and
3856       repeat modes would be forgotten. (BR 123743)
3857     * Removing the current track through DCOP while editing a field of the
3858       track in the playlist would cause a crash. (BR 119152)

4615       part of the statusbar, it should not ever get out of sync with

4617       increase while a playlist is loading.

5702   ADD: configurable delay after each track.  currently 0-10 seconds in 1 sec increments
5703        but could easily be made to use finder increments if ppl want - piggz (www.piggz.co.uk)
5704   ADD: viswidgetv2.  it seems a lot smoother on my machine.
5705        its quite easy to tweak the dynamics is needed.  is accessible the same as the other
5706        widgets, just click until it appears (though it looks the same as the original widget

5708   ADD: combo with history and completion for dir/file chooser

5711   FIX: font dialog sizing issues
5712   ADD: resume playback option. Using this means your track starts up again where you left it

5843   added: completely rewrote drag-and-drop code. works recursively now (optionally).
5844     plus dragging stuff from other applications into amaroK also works now.
5845 
5846 VERSION 0.5.1:
5847   added a Tip of the Day at startup to explain the user interface a bit
5848   added restarting of artsd on first program start to make sure it registers
5849     the new mcopclasses
5850   fixed possible compile error in viswidget.cpp
5851   amaroK uses much less CPU now than it used to. This was mainly achieved by
5852     using a new FFT-analyzer module, which I took from Noatuns "Winskin"-plugin,
5853     and modified slightly to my needs. Also some other optimizations were made,
5854     which improved the standby performance, when no song is playing. I'm still
5855     not satisfied with overall performance, tho, but it seems that most of the
5856     load is produced by the aRts code itself, so this will rather be difficult
5857     to improve.
5858   fixed crash when "next" or "previous" was pressed without a track
5859     loaded
5860   thanks to valgrind I was able to find and squish some serious bugs,
5861     most of which were related to pointers. to sum it up: pointers are evil.
5862     valgrind is great.
5863   lots of UI-changes in the main widget. uses a background pixmap now, a
5864     custom font and widget for the time-display, and generally looks better
5865   fixed issues with the liquid skin. unfortunately, there seems to be no way
5866     to display pushbuttons correctly with a black background under liquid. so,
5867     until I find a solution for that, the expandbutton widget doesn't look quite
5868     as cool as it used to. maybe I should ask mosfet about this..
5869 
5870 VERSION 0.50:
5871   renamed 0.15 to 0.50
5872 
5873 VERSION 0.15:
5874   playing streams now works! *yipeeee*

5877   fixed a bug in EffectWidget.cpp, that gave a compile error on some systems.
5878   Converting QString into std::string was not done correctly. Thanks to
5879     Whitehawk Stormchaser for that one :)

5888   added previous/next track
5889   added two radiobuttons in the playerwidget for toggling the
5890     playlist/equalizer on and off. admitted, the equalizer doesn't yet exist, so
5891     it's just a dummy button :P
5892   added popup-menu for the playerwidget. opens on
5893     right mouse button. this menu finally replaces the ugly menubar.
5894   added some icons (from noatun) for the player-buttons instead of text
5895   added pause function
5896   changed most names in the source to comply with the
5897     (unofficial?) KDE c++ coding standard (using the prefix "m_" for member
5898     attributes and so on). This was real slave-work :/
5899   cleaned up code in several classes
5900   fixed problem where subwidgets got keyboard focus and were drawn dark with
5901     the liquid style. switched off focus completely, since it's not needed for

5914   fixed flicker in analyzer widget
