Changes
Improved usability for the collection configuration dialog.
XSPF playlists will now attempt to apply any stored metadata to items
not owned by a service when loading. This will make many streams stored
on shutdown appear with correct metadata after a restart of Amarok.
Scripted services are now able to set the infoHtml used in the
service info applet for individual tracks.
The default lyrics script now uses the LyricWiki site, which is more
reliable and also faster than the old lyrics provider.

for SQL statements.
Some new and updated icons.
Allow multiple items to be selected in the user playlist category.
Statusbar rewrite: Messages are no longer shown as top-level windows.
Added proper mouse over visuals to some places where it was missing.
All services (or any other part of Amarok) can now add context
actions to any item in any collection. This is only used for the "play
similar artists from last.fm" currently, but it allows this kind of
action to be added without hardcoding it in the core. The immidiate
effect of this is that the last.fm action is now available for any
artist in any collection.
New "playground" directory added for plugins and applets that are not
yet ready for prime time.
Nonconsecutive items can now be selected and dragged around in the
playlist.
Major overhaul of playlist subsystem, including a completely new view
(even though it looks a lot like to old one). Programmers should
review the SVN commit notes to learn about other changes.
Selecting "Move to Collection" in the file browser's context menu
will now recursively include all directories within the selected items.
Selecting "Move to Collection" in the file browser's context menu
will now delete the original source files as expected.
