(upstream here) Yes Amarok 2.2 introduces a lot of new features. However some of them are essential features for a lot of users. For example audio CD support and support for universal mass storage devices or playlist sorting and shuffeling.
Jaunty shipped Amarok 2.0.2 which was lacking a lot of features and we are still getting flack for it and a ton of bug reports which are all fixed in 2.2. Shipping 2.1.1 in Karmic would mean another 6 months of angry users for upstream and Kubuntu. It'd be a pity if we have to wait another 6 months to make up for 2.0 WRT stability and bugs 2.2 beta 1 is probably better already than 2.1. We will tag beta 2 on Monday and final release on 28th. Especially collection scanning and management has seen a lot of important fixes. -- Amarok 2.2 feature freeze exception https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/424328 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to amarok in ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-b...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
