of complaining about it, smartly append (2), (3), etc. to the end.
* 'Stop Playing After Track' now has a shortcut (Ctrl+Alt+V), and a global
shortcut for the currently playing track (Ctrl+Win+V).
* Various keyboard usability and focus tweaks so using amaroK with the
keyboard is nicer.
* Upgraded internal SQLite database library to version 3.2.7.

complications.

instead of completely disabling random mode when dynamic is on.

compatibility with various iPod models.

for the category's, newly added podcasts take the settings from there parent category.

PKGLOCALEDIR and which install their locale files directly under
${PREFIX}/${PKGLOCALEDIR} and sort the PLIST file entries. From now
on, pkgsrc/mk/plist/plist-locale.awk will automatically handle
transforming the PLIST to refer to the correct locale directory.

RECOMMENDED is removed. It becomes ABI_DEPENDS.
BUILDLINK_RECOMMENDED.foo becomes BUILDLINK_ABI_DEPENDS.foo.
BUILDLINK_DEPENDS.foo becomes BUILDLINK_API_DEPENDS.foo.
BUILDLINK_DEPENDS does not change.
IGNORE_RECOMMENDED (which defaulted to "no") becomes USE_ABI_DEPENDS
which defaults to "yes".
Added to obsolete.mk checking for IGNORE_RECOMMENDED.
I did not manually go through and fix any aesthetic tab/spacing issues.
I have tested the above patch on DragonFly building and packaging
subversion and pkglint and their many dependencies.
I have also tested USE_ABI_DEPENDS=no on my NetBSD workstation (where I
have used IGNORE_RECOMMENDED for a long time). I have been an active user
of IGNORE_RECOMMENDED since it was available.
As suggested, I removed the documentation sentences suggesting bumping for
"security" issues.
As discussed on tech-pkg.
I will commit to revbump, pkglint, pkg_install, createbuildlink separately.
Note that if you use wip, it will fail! I will commit to pkgsrc-wip
later (within day).

Package changes: aRts engine deactivated. This is prompted
by a comment in http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=106599 about arts-engine
not being maintained.
Also the xine and the gstreamer engines proved for me much more stable.
Thanks to Sergey Svishchev, svs at ropnet dot ru, for the pointer.
Changes since last packaged version (1.3.1):
VERSION 1.3.2:
FEATURES:
* Tabs will open automatically when dragging files between tabs.
Patch by Christian Baumgart <christianbaumgart@web.de>.
* Two new dcop calls which allow scripts to read many of amaroK's
configuration options. script readConfig(key) for strings, integers and
bools. script readListConfig(key) for lists. Note that these functions
aren't guaranteed to always return the latest settings (though many do).
* Added a right click menu for blank areas of the playlist, with options
to save, clear or shuffle the playlist and to "enable the dynamic
mode & repopulate".
* Playcount is shown in the tag dialog.
* New volume slider, both better looking and better working than
the old one.
* Podcasts can be saved to any location. (BR 111059)
* Added "Save as Playlist" option to the collection and file browser
context menus as well.
* Allow removing of items in the Media Device browser transfer
queue.
CHANGES:
* Scroll wheel to switch tabs in context browser.
* Repopulate button is enabled or disabled together with dynamic mode.
* No warning dialog when starting if the directory File Browser is on
doesn't exist anymore. It just reverts to home. (BR 99208)
* Sorting on Collection Browser now shows "Unknown" items first, and
"Various Artists" last. Years are sorted descending now.
* When selecting 'Play' from the context menu on multiple items,
it'll now play the first and queue the rest.
BUGFIXES:
* The Equalizer and QueueManager widgets were broken on window managers
other than KWin.
* "Year - Album" category in the Collection Browser didn't allow for
dragging tracks or fetching cover images.
* Xine engine no longer adds images to the playlist.
* The delete key for removing playlist items works even if the file
browser is open. (BR 100145)

and caused it to stop. (BR 108783)
* If the album or artist contained "&", cover fetching wouldn't work
properly.

wouldn't be properly marked, though they would be taken into account.

its first item.

Paych by Elliot Pahl <elliot.pahl@gmail.com>. (BR 112204)

Patch by Vincent Tondellier <tonton-lists@team1664.org>. (BR 112103)
* Dynamic playlist shuffle had some incorrect smart playlist handling.
* Robustified the code for handling the '# of tracks in the playlist'
part of the statusbar, it should not ever get out of sync with
reality now. Nice side effect is you can see the track count
increase while a playlist is loading.
* "Last played - not in the last" smart playlists would only work for
sqlite. (BR 112248)
* Podcast and Dynamic subfolders are correctly restored on application
start. (BR 112162)

playlist would cause all the other items 'between' them (but
invisible due to the filter) to also get selected.

Too many changes, bugfixes and features since last packaged version (1.2.4) to
list here. Please see amaroK's homepage or the ChangeLog file enclosed in the
source tarball.

file's sole purpose was to provide a dependency on pkg-config and set
some environment variables. Instead, turn pkg-config into a "tool"
in the tools framework, where the pkg-config wrapper automatically
adds PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR to the environment before invoking the real
pkg-config.
For all package Makefiles that included pkg-config/buildlink3.mk, remove
that inclusion and replace it with USE_TOOLS+=pkg-config.
|
|
No PKGREVISION bump since pkg-config is only a BUILD_DEPENDS.

AmaroK is a media player for KDE. There are many media players
around these days, true. What's missing from most players is a user
interface, that doesn't get in the way of the user. How many buttons
do you have to press for simply adding some new tracks to the
playlist? amaroK tries to be a little different, providing a simple
drag and drop interface, that really makes playlist handling easy.
XXX Too much dependencies are thrown in there: create "plugins" packages
or use PKG_OPTIONS framework?
