The amaroK team announces version 1.0-beta2 of the amaroK audio player

With the beta release series we hope to generate much feedback, bug reports
and wishes, leading to a high quality final product. Please test and enjoy :)


=ChangeLog=
  FIX: Crash on AMD64 due to assumption about pointer size.
  CHG: SQLite library sourcecode now included with amaroK.
  CHG: The collection-thread now inserts its data in a temporary database
       while scanning, which allows us to safely use the collection in the
       meantime.
  ADD: URLDrag from Playlist, so you can drag and drop to xmms. Doesn't work
       with the FileBrowser yet, but it will!
  CHG: CollectionBrowser now fills the database inside of a thread, resulting
       in improved performance.
  ADD: Mini track-position slider in statusbar.
  FIX: Don't try to crossfade with engines that do not support this feature.
  ADD: XMMS visualization plugins can be configured with their GUI.
  FIX: Collection filtering had some regressions.
  FIX: Loader on some systems not able to start amaroK.
  FIX: Switching engines at runtime breaking volume control.
  FIX: GstEngine skipping tracks directly after starting, when crossfading
       enabled.
  CHG: Database system now works with linked tables. Saves hdd-space and
       cpu-time.
  CHG: If you remove the current song from the playlist, we don't define the
       next song anymore, but let it be randomly selected (only when random
       mode is on!)
  CHG: Random Mode now respects the playlist filter and only picks items,
       which are currently visible in the playlist. Also removed a crash
       situation.
  CHG: Removed the search-token index. Searching now iterates through the
       playlist, offering direct and specific access to the metadata.
  FIX: Bug where fill-down would cause lots of extra tags to be written when
       a search is in progress (BR 79482).
  FIX: Defect in plugin framework code, leading to a crash on some systems
       during engine plugin initialization.
  FIX: Restoring current playlist on startup (BR 79436, BR 79439).
  ADD: Searching the Collection with a filter.
  FIX: BrowserWin's QLabels are painted white in amaroK's own color scheme.
