The amaroK team announces version 1.0-beta3 of the amaroK audio player.

This release is a peach :) It's juicy and tasty, please enjoy!

Many highlights, such as the new "Context Browser", providing handy information on the music you're currently listening to, the rewritten stream support, and our shiny new handbook!

=ChangeLog=

ADD: Additional volume slider for playlist window.

ADD: ContextBrowser shows you images and information to the current song/artist. It depends on the collection and is presented as an HTML widget.

CHG: Improved color handling and visual feedback in the GUI.

ADD: Global shortcut for play/pause action, as requested by multimedia-keyboard users (BR 79541).

CHG: Small player-window can be switched off now.

FIX: CollectionBrowser out of order after scanning.

FIX: TitleProxy partly rewritten. Should be more compatible with many streams and not be able to freeze the app any longer.

FIX: When playing a stream with title streaming activated, the track is not marked as playing (BR 79999).

FIX: Invoking "Track Information" in Collection Browser sometimes crashed the application (BR 80266).

FIX: In CollectionBrowser's folder setup dialog pressing cancel did not abort (BR 80451). Thanks to Michael Pyne for patch.

ADD: Option for selecting sound output system (OSS/Alsa). Currently only used with GStreamer engine.

CHG: Extended and updated handbook, thanks to Mike Diehl

ADD: Context menu item "Make Playlist" in Collection Browser generates new playlists on the fly, without the need for drag-and-drop.

CHG: Renamed several files and folders in the source code tree, resulting in improved code accessibility.

The third maintenance release of Kile 1.6 (a LaTeX editor for KDE) is ready. In Kile-1.6.3 some bugs are fixed and a few small user interface improvements are added. All Kile users are advised to upgrade.

Changes include:

fix a crash when opening/closing projects with common files.

warn if user tries to overwrite an existing file in the "New Project" dialog.

make usertags/tools shortcuts configurable.

place cursor after a bracket when inserting a usertag.

polished up the "New File" wizard, the size and selected template are now remembered, an option to start the Quick Start wizard after selecting an empty template is also added.

double clicking on a non-existent file results in a dialog requesting the creating of this file, instead of just an error.
