Let me be the first to congratulate our new release girl on her first release!
Nice work Lydia!
Great news!
Now let's wait for final release and pray for a k3b sometime in the future :)
K3B and KAFFEINE. I just can't wait to see a Kaffeine that's based on Qt 4.
I should send my mockup of Kaffeine for devs, I just need to finish it (tryed to do it next 9months, so its now already too late!)
Let me be the second :)
Lydia, you rock!
Will there be Kubuntu repositories for hardy?
I already have Beta 2 installed from launchpad, so dependencies shouldn't be that large a problem.
You can use the Neon packages, they're up to date and working great.
Yeah, but they seem to ship their own kdelibs... I already have the 4.1 beta2-libs installed, and don't wanna install 250mb of libs just for an amarok nightly.
I don't mind the redesigned playlist that some people are wary about. I think Amarok is one of the crown jewels of KDE. I'm really excited about the upcoming 2.0 release.
"Malina" is raspberry in croatian. :)
Probably devs mean this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malina
And malina means raspberry in Russian too :-)
Also "Malina" is raspberry in Bulgarian too :)
Also in Polish :) Even funnier, it's related to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Raspberry_Awards :)
Same in Czech ;)
And Slovak.

And Slovakia ;-)
And in serbian :DD
Don't stop everybody, we have a couple more...
Macedonian, Belarussian, Bosnian, Slovenian and Montenegrin?

everyone who know what cockney is know what i am talking about! :)))
Oh, and it thus is also connected with RazberrieTart, the official sidux Fangirl ;-)
And in Ukrainian ;)
In Polish too.
Raspberry in polish? does that make wood shine better?? :o)
It's nothing in Dutch... ;-)
But wouldn't it make for a nice name?
"Malina" means raspberry in Serbo-Croatian (Srpskohrvatski/Hrvatskosrpski)

Amarok experimental repositories don't work in Debian :(
Thanks for the Neon packages!
Its great, while I haven't understood the no playlist concept (and the alternative list view is a bit buggy) yet the technology looks pretty amazing.
Are there specific reasons why Amarok is not on EBN?

It maybe only an alpha, but am I the only one to think the interface is ugly?
My sincere congratulations to all of the Amarok team for the best jukebox-audio-player on any platform.
Now prepare for my crash reports on the alpha :)
