Mark Kretschmann announced version 1.2.4 of the amaroK audio player:
War! The Republic is crumbling under attacks by ruthless commercial media players. There are heroes on both sides. Evil is everywhere. In a stunning move, the fiendish amaroK hackers have assembled version 1.2.4 in a desperate attempt to save the princess and return her to The roK Kingdom.

ChangeLog relative to amaroK 1.2.3:

FEATURES:
  • Queue selected tracks shortcut, Ctrl+D. (BR 83675)
BUGFIXES:
  • The first engine entry in the config dialog was always blank.
  • If you filtered by more than one word in Collection Browser, adding expandable items (eg: artists or albums) wouldn't work. (BR 100150)
  • Updating the collection without any changes being made to it kept the Update button disabled forever.
  • Application freezes when switching shoutcast streams. (BR 103890)
  • MusicBrainz lookup was not escaping quote characters. (BR 103740)
  • Fixed crash when clicking the "clear" button in CoverManager's filter widget.
  • Update lyrics page on new radio stream metadata. (BR 99725)
  • xine-engine was reporting bogus tracklengths for ogg vorbis. (BR 102547)

As of now Kile, a LaTeX environment for KDE, version 1.8 is available for download from: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/kile/kile-1.8.tar.bz2?download
