The amaroK team announces version 1.1.1 of the amaroK audio player

Bugfixes, Usability, iCandy - that's what we focused on for this maintenance 
release. After our article on dot.kde.org two weeks ago we received an amazing
amount of feedback from our users, especially with ideas on improving
usability.

We set to work on this immediately, and are happy to present some substantial 
usability improvements, like the new menu-bar, which makes amaroK more 
accessible to new users, and better tool interfaces. Overall, we have 
polished the application's look-and-feel, to make it easy and fun for both 
experienced and new users. 

We hope you enjoy our work :)
