Amarok 3.0 beta (2.9.82) out now

[Tuomas Nurmi]

Hi everyone,
long time user, first time releaser here.
I am happy to announce the immediate availability of Amarok 2.9.82!

Source tarball from 2.9.82 tag ( https://invent.kde.org/multimedia/amarok/-/
tags/v2.9.82 ) available at https://download.kde.org/unstable/amarok/2.9.82/
amarok-2.9.82.tar.xz 

There might be bugs. However, quite many have been fixed, too.

Somewhat comprehensive ChangeLog for 2.9.71 -> 2.9.82 is available at https://
invent.kde.org/multimedia/amarok/-/blob/master/ChangeLog?ref_type=heads#L13


After some consideration, I decided to make it beta already, as we've had some 
years of alpha and it's been ready for day-to-day usage for years. I chose the 
number .82 as some widely used git builds for various distributions have been 
using .75 and .81.

Depending on reactions, amount of fresh bug reports etc I'll see if there 
needs to be a beta2 / RC or if it'll be directly 3.0 next in some weeks.



Cheers
