A Question About Amarok

[Ian Monroe]

Hey Mohammed,

Yes, we had a major overhaul from the start of Amarok 2.0 development
to when 2.0 was released. 2.0 was ported to KDE 4 and Qt 4, which is a
rather major change over KDE 3 and Qt 3. So we started in about spring
2007. I leave figuring out the exact revision hash's as an academic
exercise. ;)
