local connection. This is now detected and should be worked around.

are not loaded will not degrade performance or increase memory usage.
The service frameworks also offers for free, or makes it very simple to
add features such as cached albumcover downloads, searching and filtering
to the individual services. Services can also be track providers, meaning

handle, they will be presented with all the metadata that the servie can
provide.

* Shoutcast service: The shoutcast list from previous versions of Amarok has
been reimplemented as a service.

service can be started and stopped from the service manager. Also add 2

fixed possible compile error in viswidget.cpp
amaroK uses much less CPU now than it used to. This was mainly achieved by
using a new FFT-analyzer module, which I took from Noatuns "Winskin"-plugin,
and modified slightly to my needs. Also some other optimizations were made,
which improved the standby performance, when no song is playing. I'm still
not satisfied with overall performance, tho, but it seems that most of the
load is produced by the aRts code itself, so this will rather be difficult
to improve.
fixed crash when "next" or "previous" was pressed without a track
loaded
thanks to valgrind I was able to find and squish some serious bugs,
most of which were related to pointers. to sum it up: pointers are evil.
valgrind is great.
lots of UI-changes in the main widget. uses a background pixmap now, a
custom font and widget for the time-display, and generally looks better
fixed issues with the liquid skin. unfortunately, there seems to be no way
to display pushbuttons correctly with a black background under liquid. so,
until I find a solution for that, the expandbutton widget doesn't look quite
as cool as it used to. maybe I should ask mosfet about this..

implemented use of arts-software-mixing, in case hardware-mixing
(/dev/mixer) doesn't work
fixed crash when play was pressed without selecting a file
changed the direction of the volume-slider. maximum is now at the top
added automatic saving of current playlist on exit
added previous/next track
added two radiobuttons in the playerwidget for toggling the
playlist/equalizer on and off. admitted, the equalizer doesn't yet exist, so
it's just a dummy button :P
added popup-menu for the playerwidget. opens on
right mouse button. this menu finally replaces the ugly menubar.
added some icons (from noatun) for the player-buttons instead of text
added pause function
changed most names in the source to comply with the
(unofficial?) KDE c++ coding standard (using the prefix "m_" for member
attributes and so on). This was real slave-work :/
cleaned up code in several classes
fixed problem where subwidgets got keyboard focus and were drawn dark with
the liquid style. switched off focus completely, since it's not needed for
this type of application
