#Release  

The Amarok Development Squad is happy to announce the immediate availability of Amarok 3.3.1, the first bugfix release for Amarok 3.3 "Far Above the Clouds"!

3.3.1 features a number of minor bugfixes and code and build system cleanups. Some occasional crashes related to the new audio backend have also been fixed, and the remaining non-theme icons in user interface have been replaced. The new release also features improvements to the scripting support. Although current scripting functionality is not yet on a par with that of 2.x series in the '10's, especially the script console improvements should help anyone willing to explore the current capabilities.

Packager section

You can find the tarball package on download.kde.org and it has been signed with Tuomas Nurmi's GPG key. One should also observe that Amarok 3.3.1 drops the previous optional build-time dependency to ffmpeg.
