Subj : Amarok 3.3 released To : All From : LWN.net Date : Wed Jul 09 2025 18:15:07 Amarok 3.3 released Date: Wed, 09 Jul 2025 17:14:18 +0000 Description: Version 3.3 of the Amarok music player has been released. This is the first release of Amarok based on KDEFrameworks6 and Qt6 . Amarok 3.3 also includes a major rework of its audio engine to use GStreamer for audio playback. 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. ====================================================================== Link to news story: https://lwn.net/Articles/1029313/ --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A47 (Linux/64) * Origin: tqwNet UK HUB @ hub.uk.erb.pw (1337:1/100) .
