Announcing version 1.3.8 of the popular amaroK 'Airborne' series. This bugfix release includes, among other things, the ability to fetch lyrics again. This feature did not work correctly in all prior versions due to a minor change in the way the lyrics site displayed results. The Helix engine has also been improved, and amaroK is better than ever!

For information about how to get amaroK 1.3.8 see the amaroK Wiki

Changes Version 1.3.8:

 Bugfixes

     state Empty wasn't emitted
   * Fixed URL of the Nectarine radio stream.
   * Fix crash after changing the alsa device in the helix configuration
     dialog.
   * When amaroK exits, send SIGTERM to running scripts. (BR 119159)
   * Old error messages could be shown instead of current track lyrics.
   * The equalizer in the helix engine now works properly at low sample
     frequencies.
   * Fixed some threading issues in loading XML playlists.
