Yep, that’s right! It took me nearly a day, but podcast integration into amaroK is just about complete. For those of you who aren’t running any of the 1.3 beta releases, you might remember my blog about an updated playlist browser. The more I use it, the more I like it, from a usability (correct me if I am mistaken) and development point of view.
Since everything is written about QDom and xml, podcast support was a breeze. Just need to add a little configuration dialog for caching audio files and auto fetching updates at specified time intervals!
I can’t wait for amaroK 1.3. We’ve been working solidly on the new branch since 1.2.3 (1.2.4 was bugfix release), which was released on the 29th March 2005 - an entire 4 months ago. Since then, according to the ChangeLog there have been:
- 54 features
- 13 changes
- 35 bugfixes
Development versions are becoming increasingly more stable, so if you can’t wait, check out beta2!
