Amarok 2.7 Finally Here!

January 18, 2013 · 0 min read

In case you don't know it yet, we've just released Amarok 2.7! This release is called A Minor Tune, partially because the list of new features isn't pages-long (but you still get statistics synchronization and preliminary Nepomuk integration). But I believe it will be remembered for its level of polish and stability - many components like audio CD playback and file browser have been made much more solid, and the number of user-reported problems that were closed since 2.6 approaches stunning 500.

Finally, after endless weeks of waiting, the beast in the form of Amarok 2.6.0 has been released to the wild!

This release is a bit special to me because it is the first one to include a significant contribution from me - most notably the totally rewritten iPod support. I must say thank here to everyone who tested it in the beta phase; your bug reports helped to polish it to otherwise unachievable level for the final release.

Amarok StatSyncing GSoC: weeks 10 and 11

August 7, 2012 · 1 min read

Yes, I'm still working on my GSoC project about statistics synchronization in Amarok. It seems that bi-weekly reports became common here. That's because I enjoy coding much more that writing about it. Last 2 weeks I've worked on reworking existing Amarok Last.fm scrobbling code and on back-end infrastructure for Last.fm synchronization.
