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)

by Matěj Laitl <strohel@gmail.com>. (BR 149125)
