3.5 Alpha2 has been released. This version includes a large number of major feature additions including: IPv6 ACL entries, Video, Localplay Control via API, Lyrics importing, ACL creation wizards and anonymous user level access with manual admin login. This version also includes a large number of bug fixes and performance tweaks that should make many functions a little snappier especially the verifying of an existing catalog.
There is still a lot of work to be done on 3.5 before we can move to a beta state. We need to finish the new dynamic playlists that are replacing the old advanced random, implemented the new query methodology, finish tagging support, finish video support. Over the last few weeks I’ve had significantly more time to develop so hopefully I’ll be able to keep the pace up and get a stable version of 3.5 out early summer. Thanks to Momo-i who has worked very hard on the translations, lyric support and other fixes for this version.
In other news Amarok 2.1.x will support the new authentication methodology in Ampache 3.5. Also I’ve finally put up some T-shirt designs with the Ampache logo, check them out. All the prices are in Canadian Dollars so take that into account.
