麦哲伦 - Amarok 2.0.1.1 发布 (包括安全性修复)

在 2.0 发布之后的仅仅几周内,我们又发布了新的代号为麦哲伦的 Amarok 2.0.1.1 升级版,这次不要让版本号的小小变化欺骗了你,因为,这个版本 为你带回了很多你期待已久的特性,同时修复了许多的错误和一个安全性问题。

在这里热烈欢迎 Amarok 1.4 系列中一些非常著名和好玩的特性地回归: 包括队列,播放列表搜索与过滤以及"在当前音轨之后停止"。 还有等待很久的根据作曲家对收藏进行排序功能也终于实现了。 我们还在努力实现其他功能和扩展可以平稳整合服务脚本的脚本化服务的 API LibriVox 服务脚本收到了一些好看的图标并同其他改进一同进行了整合 媒体设备处理有也许多改进的地方:MTP 设备现在就可以一次删除多条音轨了,而从 iPods 中删除音轨时状态栏会显示可视的操作状态。 我们的OS X 用户会非常喜欢其内置的狼嗥叫提醒支持。

目前,我们还在整理许多的反馈,并修正讨厌的错误: 收藏扫描器现在不会错过任何目录可能完美得工作了。 用户也会在扫描出错时收到一个警告信息。 请阅读下面的变化日志来了解最重要的修复和特性。

“重新开始” - Amarok 2.0 发布了!

Amarok 2.0
4年半前的Amarok发布,使得世界上的音乐管理理念被大大改变了。虽然Amarok1被大家认为很创新,但是随着开发的深入,维护旧的框架已经变得越来越困难。我们决定利用KDE4带来的新技术和开发理念的契机,来改善Amarok的设计。我们的目标是做一个最前沿时尚的音乐管理软件,能在越来越多的播放器中脱颖而出。于是我们从Amarok1系列版本中选出了最吸引人的功能,然后酝酿着如何去改善,好让大家来“重新发掘音乐”。于是我们开始了开发。

两年以后的今天,我们荣幸地宣布Amarok2的到来。但这次发布只是一个开始。
这个新版本带来很多新的功能:
  • 完全重新设计的用户界面
  • 和网上音乐服务,如Magnatune, Jamendo, MP3tunes, Last.fm和Shoutcast的完美结合
  • 全部重新设计的插件API,能让插件和Amarok结合地更好
  • 支持全新的KDE4构架,利用了如Solid, Phonon, 和Plasma的技术
Amarok 2.0
为了更好地显示歌词,专辑,等信息,为了更好地把信息传达给用户,我们对用户界面作了很大的改变。你可以在Amarok中间部分添加小部件来自定义你所需要的信息。我们新的随机播放列表功能更智能。新的网上服务构架使得如Jamendo, Magnatune和Ampache服务和Amarok完美结合。新的服务可以通过设置页面来添加,你也可以从kde-apps.org上下载。一些插件已经被开发出来,也希望大家能帮助一起开发。从KDE3到KDE4平台的迁移,利用如Solid, Phonon, Plasma技术,使Amarok管理本地和网络音乐更容易……
这些只是部分Amarok2的新特性。来尝试下吧!

重要的是,Amarok2.0只是一个开始,不是一个结束。为了保证最主要的改进,很多在1.4里面的功能在Amarok2里缺失了。如播放列表的队列和过滤功能,将会在将来发布。其他一些功能也将会回来,如视觉效果,移动设备,都需要KDE的改善。另一些功能被取消了,如除Mysql数据库以外数据库的支持。要么是因为程序设计上的原因,或者是为了更好地在众多播放器中脱颖而出。

大多数Linux发行版已经准备好了Amarok2.0的最新版本。但由于KDE4在Windows和Mac OS X平台上仍然处于开发阶段,所以Amarok在这些平台上目前只是Beta版本。我们将在未来几个月里频繁发布2.0系列版本的bug修复版,同时也将完善新的和旧的功能。所以,虽然对我们开发团队来说,Amarok2已经开始了很长一段旅程,对用户来说,这只是一个开始!

我们很高兴大家能参与和使Amarok。没有大家的帮助,没有编程,宣传,编辑文档,赞助等等,就不可能有项目的改进。我们想对所有人说:谢谢!

加入我们,参与Amarok的自由世界吧!
