Changes:
Team Amarok is proud to announce Amarok 2.3.0. It contains many
improvements and bugfixes over Amarok 2.2.2 as well as many new
features. Areas such as podcast support and saved playlists have
seen huge improvements, as has the support for USB mass storage
devices (including generic MP3 players).
With large parts of Amarok 2 becoming quite mature, it was also
time to start looking forward again. Therefore, this release also
contains a number of new features of a slightly more experimental
nature. These include a new main toolbar and a rewritten and much
simpler file browser. These parts are brand new and based on user
feedback, and they will change and improve over the next few
releases. The old slim toolbar is still available should you prefer
that, but we encourage you to try out the new toolbar and tell us
what you think. The file browser's look and feel now aligns more
closely with the rest of Amarok with improvements such as breadcrumb
navigation, and it is now focused on being a way to find and play
music instead of being a multi-purpose file manager.
The context menu of tracks in your playlist now offers a "show in
media sources" option, making it easier to find the same track
again in the collection browser for editing, moving or deleting
the file.
Podcasts have received a configuration dialog allowing you to change
the update interval as well as the location to store new downloaded
episodes. Podcasts and saved playlists are now also grouped by
source, and a merged view is available just like in your local
collection - perfect for those that don't care where their music
is coming from but simply want to listen to it. Now, when a new
source of playlists or podcasts becomes available, Amarok will
switch off merged view and show a collapsible list of your new
listening sources.
The Wikipedia applet now looks better and links have been fixed.
Internal links to other pages on Wikipedia will display in the
applet, and external links open a browser window.
In short, Team Amarok has been focusing hard on furthering our
long-term goal: making Amarok the best tool for immersing yourself
in music, no matter where it comes from.
LAME 3.98.3 February 27 2010
* Rogério Brito:
o Update the debian packaging for the new release.
* Robert Hegemann
o The ignore-tag-errors switch had no effect when embedding
album art, fixed.
o Library API change: lame_decode functions are now
obsolete but still present, please use hip_decode instead.
The reason for this change is: lame_decode functions use
a single global variable within the library to store
decoder setup, hip_decode functions don't. The encoder
now uses hip_decode internally and it is now possible to
use clipdetect feature while reencoding mp3 to mp3.
o Workaround for FFMPEG bug, which uses to call
lame_encode_flush more than once in a loop.
o Windows: program icon and version info added (when
building with VC9)
o Fix for Bugtracker item [ 2688413 ] lib name problem
in Microsoft Visual Studio 6
o Fix for Bugtracker items [ 2051870, 2423650, 2928684
] several small documentation issues
o Fix for Bugtracker item [ 2723518 ] resampling in 3.98
and 3.99alpha
o Fix for Bugtracker item [ 2891879 ] Because of Windows
API change, there was a problem with the prority switch.
o Fix for Bugtracker item [ 2893101 ] Access Violation
in BladeMP3EncDLL if UNICODE was defined.
o Fix for Bugtracker item [ 2887359 ] Wrong length in
ID3v2 tag when num_samples isn't set
o Fix for Bugtracker item [ 2872590 ] LameTAG: "Music
length" missmatch in LAME 3.98
o Fix for Bugtracker item [ 2824296 ] wrong enc_padding
value in LAME 3.99a and 3.98.3 (from CVS)
o Revisiting the FhG decoder problem (FhG V1.5 build 50,
ships with MS Windows): enabling the new-drain-code seems
to solve that issue better, than restricting the buffer
size (see below: 3.98 beta 1, May 16 2007).
o Patch submitted by Bernhard Doebler, tracker item [
2807676 ] Error when building Lame with NASM support
o Patch submitted by Mancuso Raffaele, tracker item [
2406420 ] compile lame_enc.dll under cygwin
Patch provided by Wen Heping via PR#42851.

* Allow --delete followed by --frame, and --genre 1 --genre 2. (#37)
* Add --quiet and --verbose flags. (#40)
* moggsplit: --m3u option to write an M3U playlist of the new files. (#39)
* mid3iconv: Fix crash when processing TCML or TIPL frames. (#41)

* ASF:

ContentDescriptionObjects. (#29)
* mid3iconv:
* Fix a crash when processing empty (invalid) text frames.
* MAJOR API INCOMPATIBILITY!!!!
* EasyID3FileType is now in mutagen.easyid3, not mutagen.id3. This
change was necessary to restore API compatibility with 1.16, as
1.17 accidentally contained a circular import preventing
mutagen.easyid3 from importing by itself. (#32)
1.17 - 2009.10.07
* ID3:
* Support for the iTunes non-standard TSO2 and TSOC frames.
* Attempt to recover from bad SYLT frames. (#2)
* Attempt to recover from faulty extended header flags. (#4, #21)
* Fix a bug in ID3v2.4 footer flag detection, (#5)
* MP4:
* Don't fail or double-encode UTF-8 strings when given a str.
* Don't corrupt 64 bit atom sizes when resizing atoms. (#17)
* EasyID3:
* Extension API for defining new "easy" tags at runtime.
* Support for many, many more tags.
* OggVorbis, OggSpeex: Handle bitrates below 0 as per the spec. (#30)
* EasyMP4: Like EasyID3, but for iTunes MPEG-4 files.
* mutagen.File: New 'easy=True' argument to create new EasyMP3, EasyMP4,
EasyTrueAudio, and EasyID3FileType instances.
1.16 - 2009.06.15
* Website / code repository move.
* Bug Fixes:
* EasyID3: Invalid keys now raise KeyError (and ValueError).
* mutagen.File: .flac files with an ID3 tag will be opened as FLAC.
* MAJOR API INCOMPATIBILITY!!!!
* Python 2.6 has required us to rename the .format attribute of M4A/MP4
cover atoms, because it conflicts with the new str.format method.
It has been renamed .imageformat.
sfxr's original purpose was to provide a simple means of getting
basic sound effects into a game for those people who were working
hard to get their entries done for the Ludum Dare gaming contest
within the 48 hours and didn't have time to spend looking for
suitable ways of doing this.
The idea was that they could just hit a few buttons in this
application and get some largely randomized effects that were custom
in the sense that the user could accept/reject each proposed sound.
It's been a really long time since 2.2.0, previous cmus release - almost 3
years have passed. During this time, Timo Hirvonen, original cmus author, has
disappeared, cmus-unofficial fork was born, and, lately, cmus-unofficial
transformed back into cmus. Long story short - here is the new release!
Features highlight:
Gapless MP3 playback
Native PulseAudio output plugin
Faster metadata cache
Improved compilation handling
cmus-tutorial(7) man page
SHOUTcast icy-* headers support
Musepack SV8 support
Support for the new libmp4v2
And, of course, tons of bugs were fixed.
builtin wide curses which is recognized by pkgsrc/ncursesw/builtin.mk
is fine.
-Set the keyboard mode to raw() explicitely. ncurses seems to do
this in some magical way, didn't find a hint in documentation.
-Explicitely disable widechar support if the pkgsrc option is deselected -
otherwise it gets enabled unwantedly if widechar support is found in the
normal curses lib.

libifp is a general-purpose library-driver for iRiver's iFP
(flash-based) portable audio players.
This driver has been reported to work with models iFP1xx, 3xx, 5xx,
7xx, 8xx, 9xx and N10.
The Moodbar is an algorithm for creating a colorful visual
representation of the contents of an audio file, giving an idea of
its "mood" (this is a rather fanciful term for the simple analysis
it actually does). The Moodbar was invented by Gavin Wood and
Simon O'Keefe for inclusion in the Amarok music player.
This package contains a GStreamer plugin with elements that are
used in the moodbar analysis, and an application that actually does
the analysis.
