Amarok ChangeLog
================
(C) 2002-2007 the Amarok authors.

VERSION 1.4.10
  BUGFIX:
    * Fix vulnerability in the Magnatune database parsing code.  Secunia
      Advisory #SA31418.  Thanks to Google Alerts for notifying us about this
      vulnerability.

VERSION 1.4.9
  BUGFIXES:
    * The last.fm dialog did not always properly disable options when the
      username was not entered.
    * Fix Amazon Cover fetching by using their new web service api.
    * Don't insert items into Dynamic Mode that don't exist.
    * If unavailable tracks are in the Playlist and random mode is on, don't
      stop those tracks if selected; continue with available tracks.


VERSION 1.4.8
  CHANGES:
    * Optimise some database queries with the mysql backend. Patch by Alf
      Eaton <sites@hubmed.org> (BR 152749).
    * Don't show the device plugin dialog when a new device is plugged in.
      Apparently it's not obvious that you have to hit OK after selecting "Do
      not handle" if you don't want it handled, so disabling it prevents it
      from being shown repeatedly.
    * Better support for iPhone/iPod Touch mounted via fuse/sshfs (libgpod 0.6.0
      or newer required).
    * Only re-render the context view when visible if changing ratings, scores
      or labels for songs.

  BUGFIXES:
    * Last.fm metadata would not update with xine 1.1.8. (BR 150429)
    * Amarok would forget podcast channel and episode settings when using the
      postgresql backend.
    * When adding file types with the Generic Media Device sometimes the
      extensions would be prepended with & and would not save. (BR 151806)
    * For improved compatibility with newer iPods, convert file extensions to
      lower case during transfer.
    * Replace slashes in artist name with spaces when querying Wikipedia
      e.g. AC/DC, To/Die/For. (BR 150001) 
    * Always rebuild the dynamic mode cache when in Suggested songs mode,
      so that we don't land up with stale suggestions. Patch by Jer Johnson
      <jer@gweep.net>
    * Sort albums made in the same year alphabetically in 'ascending
      order'. (BR 149408)
    * Statistics tool shouldn't show samplers in 'favorite albums'.
    * Duplicate songs were not allowed in playlist when adding from the
      collection browser. (BR 149643)
    * Make sure the localUrl of a PodcastEpisode is valid after a failed
      download. (BR 147351)
    * Fix off-by-one error causing Smart Playlists to not load tracks with a
      rating >= 4.5. (BR 148916)
    * Don't enable "Configure Podcasts" at the top-level Podcasts folder if
      there is nothing beneath it. (BR 146504)
    * Generic Media Device could copy some non-ASCII filenames to turn to
      gibberish.  Thanks to David Smith <davidsmith@acm.org> for the fix.
    * Fixed possible GUI freeze when Amarok was showing the dialog for
      installing mp3 support. Patch by Sascha Sommer <ssommer@suse.de>.
      (BR 147126)
    * Amarok could needlessely reinitialize connections to MySQL databases
      after a configuration change.  Combined with a bug in MySQL libraries,
      this could lead to a crash.
    * Pressing Preveious Track in a Dynamic Playlist could cause undefined
      behavior in certain edge conditions.  Now it always plays the current
      track. (BR 148317)
    * Immediately after loading a dynamic playlist, you couldn't drag a
      track to the top of the playlist. (BR 149263)
    * Fix transferring files with UTF8 names to MTP devices. Thanks to Kevin
      Becker <kevman3000@gmail.com> for the fix. (BR 139722)
    * Display warning that iPod sysinfo could not be written in the case of
      incorrect file permissions. Patch by Christian Ober-Blöbaum
      <cob@tzi.de>. (BR 148607)
    * Fix Czech character conversion to ASCII for Generic Media Device. Patch
      by Matěj Laitl <strohel@gmail.com>. (BR 149125)

      Buesch <mb@bu3sch.de> for the patch.

      counted or rated in the user's statistics. (BR 140980)

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

       through the list of recently played songs.

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

VERSION 0.50:
  renamed 0.15 to 0.50

VERSION 0.15:
  playing streams now works! *yipeeee*
  fixed tons of bugs in aRts playing code. i think i got it right now.
  fixed loading and saving of playlists. can cope with all protocols now.

    Whitehawk Stormchaser for that one :)

  changed the direction of the volume-slider. maximum is now at the top
  added automatic saving of current playlist on exit
  added previous/next track
  added two radiobuttons in the playerwidget for toggling the
    playlist/equalizer on and off. admitted, the equalizer doesn't yet exist, so
    it's just a dummy button :P
  added popup-menu for the playerwidget. opens on
    right mouse button. this menu finally replaces the ugly menubar.
  added some icons (from noatun) for the player-buttons instead of text
  added pause function
  changed most names in the source to comply with the
    (unofficial?) KDE c++ coding standard (using the prefix "m_" for member
    attributes and so on). This was real slave-work :/
  cleaned up code in several classes
  fixed problem where subwidgets got keyboard focus and were drawn dark with
    the liquid style. switched off focus completely, since it's not needed for
    this type of application
