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.

The Amarok Development Squad is happy to announce the immediate availability of Amarok 3.3 "Far Above the Clouds"! Amarok 3.3.0 is the first version based on Qt6/KF6, corresponding to a decade-sized update of the technological foundations. Additionally, audio engine has been reworked to use GStreamer for playback. Previously, the availability of various features, e.g. ReplayGain and visualiser, was dependent on the Phonon backend in use, an issue that became even more evident with Qt6 Phonon backends. This has now been remedied: The reworked audio engine provides unified feature set for all users and should provide a solid and future-proof sonic experience for years to come. Notable improvements have also landed to the database system: improved character set support helps with e.g. emojis in podcast descriptions and other very exotic symbols, date handling has been improved ('year 2038 problem'), and various other potential and actual database-related issues have been fixed.

Dear fans of music & open source music players, in preparation of the upcoming Amarok 3.3 release, a second beta release (3.2.82) has been prepared. This time, the most important change is the new GStreamer-based audio backend. This enables a number of features that weren't available on Qt6 Phonon backends, and likely also provides a more reliable audio experience in general. In addition to audio system work, e.g. more safeguards have been set up around collection scanning code to prevent some potential database issues. More details on changes are listed in the ChangeLog.

The Amarok Development Squad is happy to announce the immediate availability of Amarok 3.2.2, the second bugfix release for Amarok 3.2 "Punkadiddle"! 3.2.2 features some minor bugfixes, and improvements for building Amarok on non-UNIX systems and without X11 support. Additionally, a 16-year-old feature request has been fulfilled. Concluding years of Qt5 porting and polishing work, Amarok 3.2.2 is likely to be the last version with Qt5/KF5 support, and it should provide a nice and stable music player experience for users on various systems and distributions. The development in git, on the other hand, will soon switch the default configuration to Qt6/KF6, and focus for the next 3.3 series will be to ensure that everything functions nicely with the new Qt version.
