2292 CHG: SQLite library sourcecode now included with amaroK.
2293 CHG: The collection-thread now inserts its data in a temporary database while
2294 scanning, which allows us to safely use the collection in the meantime.
2295 This is done by two concurrent sqlite-connections (thread-safe). Wrote a
2296 new class named CollectionDB, which handles the database communication
2298 ADD: URLDrag from Playlist, so you can drag and drop to xmms. Doesn't work with
2299 the FileBrowser yet, but it will!

2313 currently visible in the playlist. Also removed a crash situation.

2315 offering direct and specific access to the metadata.

2377 with a grey background color

2402 CHG: Pressing "back" in Random Mode now works as expected and walks backwards
2403 through the list of recently played songs.
2404 ADD: TitleProxy searches for a free local port (contributed by Stefan Gehn)

2458 FIX: crossfading aRts module. the fading is now much smoother than before
2459 FIX: crossfading bug. before the fix amaroK sometimes mixed up the two xfade sources,
2460 so it sort of faded in reverse (==crap)
2461 ADD: tag reading in separate thread
2462 ADD: re-added m_optCrossFade, so we don't lose the crossfade length on switching it on/off.
2463 set default crossfade length to 2500.
2464 CHG: "Title Streaming" on by default
2465 CHG: integrated streambrowser into playlist window
2466 ADD: added dcop implementation for url adding. Relevant diffs for mediacontrol are

2499 ADD: viswidgetv2. it seems a lot smoother on my machine.
2500 its quite easy to tweak the dynamics is needed. is accessible the same as the other

2643 added restarting of artsd on first program start to make sure it registers
2645 fixed possible compile error in viswidget.cpp
2646 amaroK uses much less CPU now than it used to. This was mainly achieved by
2647 using a new FFT-analyzer module, which I took from Noatuns "Winskin"-plugin,
2648 and modified slightly to my needs. Also some other optimizations were made,
2649 which improved the standby performance, when no song is playing. I'm still
2650 not satisfied with overall performance, tho, but it seems that most of the
2651 load is produced by the aRts code itself, so this will rather be difficult
2653 fixed crash when "next" or "previous" was pressed without a track
2655 thanks to valgrind I was able to find and squish some serious bugs,
2656 most of which were related to pointers. to sum it up: pointers are evil.
2658 lots of UI-changes in the main widget. uses a background pixmap now, a
2659 custom font and widget for the time-display, and generally looks better
2660 fixed issues with the liquid skin. unfortunately, there seems to be no way
2661 to display pushbuttons correctly with a black background under liquid. so,
2662 until I find a solution for that, the expandbutton widget doesn't look quite
2663 as cool as it used to. maybe I should ask mosfet about this..
2666 renamed 0.15 to 0.50
2669 playing streams now works! *yipeeee*
2670 fixed tons of bugs in aRts playing code. i think i got it right now.
2671 fixed loading and saving of playlists. can cope with all protocols now.
2672 fixed a bug in EffectWidget.cpp, that gave a compile error on some systems.
2673 Converting QString into std::string was not done correctly. Thanks to
2674 Whitehawk Stormchaser for that one :)
2675 changed project name to "amaroK" and built new project-file
2677 VERSION 0.14 (internal):
2678 implemented use of arts-software-mixing, in case hardware-mixing

2681 changed the direction of the volume-slider. maximum is now at the top
2682 added automatic saving of current playlist on exit
2683 added previous/next track
2684 added two radiobuttons in the playerwidget for toggling the
2685 playlist/equalizer on and off. admitted, the equalizer doesn't yet exist, so
2686 it's just a dummy button :P
2687 added popup-menu for the playerwidget. opens on
2688 right mouse button. this menu finally replaces the ugly menubar.
2689 added some icons (from noatun) for the player-buttons instead of text
2690 added pause function
2691 changed most names in the source to comply with the
2692 (unofficial?) KDE c++ coding standard (using the prefix "m_" for member
2693 attributes and so on). This was real slave-work :/
2694 cleaned up code in several classes
2695 fixed problem where subwidgets got keyboard focus and were drawn dark with
2696 the liquid style. switched off focus completely, since it's not needed for
2697 this type of application
2699 VERSION 0.13 (internal):
2700 added cute animated pushbuttons with sub-menus
2701 added saving playlists
2702 added dragging items inside of playlist widget
2703 added forward declarations in header files to reduce compile time
2704 added saving of browserwin/splitter size
2705 rewrote track information widget. used a html table for the text. looks much
2707 fixed sorting function
2708 fixed jump widget. removed huge memory leaks in the widget
