The amaroK team announces version 1.0-beta3 of the amaroK audio player

This release is a peach :) It's juicy and tasty, please enjoy! 

Many highlights, such as the new "Context Browser", providing handy
information on the music you're currently listening to, the rewritten
stream support, and our shiny new handbook!


=ChangeLog=
  ADD: Additional volume slider for playlist window.
  ADD: ContextBrowser shows you images and information to the current
       song/artist. It depends on the collection and is presented as
       an HTML widget.
  CHG: Improved color handling and visual feedback in the GUI.
  ADD: Global shortcut for play/pause action, as requested by
       multimedia-keyboard users (BR 79541).
  CHG: Small player-window can be switched off now.
  FIX: CollectionBrowser out of order after scanning.
  FIX: TitleProxy partly rewritten. Should be more compatible with
       many streams and not be able to freeze the app any longer.
  FIX: When playing a stream with title streaming activated, the track is
       not marked as playing (BR 79999).
  FIX: Invoking "Track Information" in Collection Browser sometimes crashed
       the application (BR 80266).
  FIX: In CollectionBrowser's folder setup dialog pressing cancel did not
       abort (BR 80451). Thanks to Michael Pyne <pynm0001 at comcast.net>
       for patch.
  ADD: Option for selecting sound output system (OSS/Alsa). Currently only
       used with GStreamer engine.
  CHG: Extended and updated handbook, thanks to Mike Diehl
       <madpenguin8 at yahoo.com>.
  ADD: Context menu item "Make Playlist" in Collection Browser generates new
       playlists on the fly, without the need for drag-and-drop.  
  CHG: Renamed several files and folders in the source code tree, resulting
       in improved code accessibility.
