Amarok Blog

Last Friday, trunk was opened for features and changes intended for Amarok 2.2. In the scope of a few hours more than 250 commits had been made as people were frantically committing their local git repos.

Today, less than one week later, I though it was worth posting a little update and a video showing how all of this new stuff fits within Amarok. While most of the stuff that is shown in this video has already been blogged about before its kind of interesting to see it all in Amarok at once after having only been able to run them separately for a while.

The features shown in the video are (roughly in order of appearance)

- New browser navigation interface
- Wikipedia applet mkII.
- Videoclip applet showing matches for current track and playing a youtube video.
- Videoclip applet playing a video podcast.
- Dockable interface elements

Since so much stuff in trunk has changed in such a short time, there are plenty of small bugs and visual issues present in the video, but there is plenty of time to work on these before even getting close to a 2.2 release. Considering just how many changes have been made, I am surprised that trunk is currently working as well as it does

Also there are many features currently being worked on that are still not in any state to show of.
