E' appena uscito Amarok 1.3.2: e' una release di servizio che provvede a molte migliorie e correzioni

EccoVi il link diretto:

N.B. Io, dal momento che non voglio aspettare l'uscita della Mandriva 2007 per averlo, ne ho gia' installato la versione per 2005LE da qualche minuto e sembra funzionare tutto bene:
ottimo e umano il nuovo slide per il controllo volume!
Per installarlo, dal momento che il sito forniva anche relativo file hdlist.cz, ho preferito aggioungerlo alla lista delle mie sorgenti software, precisamente cosi':
da Konsole, loggarsi come root e poi digitare:
urpmi.addmedia Web_Amarok http://www.gkmweb.com/amarok/2005LE/ with ./hdlist.cz
aspettare il caricamento/aggiornamento delle fonti e poi digitare
urpmi amarok-engine-xine
Per soddisfare le dipendenze, saranno installati i seguenti 4 pacchetti (13 MB):
amarok-1.3.2-102mdk.1gm.i586
amarok-engine-arts-1.3.2-102mdk.1gm.i586
amarok-engine-gstreamer-1.3.2-102mdk.1gm.i586
amarok-engine-xine-1.3.2-102mdk.1gm.i586
E' corretto? (S/n) s
dare conferma e aspettare il caricamento/installazione
Ecco in dettaglio, le specifiche tratte dal sito ufficiale:

The second service release in the amaroK Airborne series takes off. amaroK 1.3.2 provides many improvements and paves the way for the upcoming amaroK Live CD, which will soon be released on amaroklive.com. Stay tuned!
Highlights:
* New volume slider, beautiful and highly usable
* GStreamer engine works again with ALSA
* Improved Podcast support
* Tabs in the Context Browser can be switched with mouse wheel
* Additional context menu for the Playlist, with handy functions
* Many bugfixes
Changes Version 1.3.2:
Features
* Tabs will open automatically when dragging files between tabs. Patch by Christian Baumgart.
* 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)
* Filenames with XML entity codes were not playable in dynamic mode and caused it to stop. (BR 108783)
* If the album or artist contained "&", cover fetching wouldn't work properly.
* When restarting, Playlist Browser items used for playlist shuffle wouldn't be properly marked, though they would be taken into account.
* Don't crash after changing Podcast options, or after manually deleting its first item.
* When renaming a playlist, the "." would be removed from the filename. Paych by Elliot Pahl. (BR 112204)
* When using next and previous on Tagdialog, after passing by a stream, the fields would be always disabled. (BR 112060)
* Restarting track when in dynamic mode didn't work.
* Fix issues with the GStreamer engine and alsasink, and reenable it. Patch by Vincent Tondellier. (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)
* Dropping tracks onto playlist browser folders will work correctly.
* Invalid podcasts are no longer discarded on quit. (BR 112116)
* Fixed playing of files that have special characters like '#' in helix engine.
* Fixed issue where selecting multiple items after filtering the playlist would cause all the other items 'between' them (but invisible due to the filter) to also get selected.
