Amarok 3.3 Beta Released For Qt6-Powered KDE Music Player

([KDE] 5 Hours Ago Amarok 3.3 Beta)


Last year work on KDE's Amarok music player was resurrected [1]after a six year development hiatus . With the return to Amarok development it was ported to Qt6 and KDE Frameworks 5. At the end of last year [2]Amarok 3.2 released with initial Qt6 and KDE Frameworks 6 support while retaining Qt5/KF5 support. Now out today is the Amarok 3.3 beta to drop that prior-generation support.

Amarok 3.3 beta is now available for testing and most notable is exclusively supporting Qt6 and KDE Frameworks 6. The Qt5 support has been removed with focusing just on the modern KDE desktop.

Amarok 3.3 is also bringing a database scheme update as its first changes there going back to 2012. Various bugs and other issues have been resolved with this database update.

Fans of the Amarok music player for the KDE desktop can learn more about today's 3.3 beta release via [3]the KDE.org blogs .

Oxygen is a very toxic gas and an extreme fire hazard. It is fatal in
concentrations of as little as 0.000001 p.p.m. Humans exposed to the
oxygen concentrations die within a few minutes. Symptoms resemble very
much those of cyanide poisoning (blue face, etc.). In higher
concentrations, e.g. 20%, the toxic effect is somewhat delayed and it
takes about 2.5 billion inhalations before death takes place. The reason
for the delay is the difference in the mechanism of the toxic effect of
oxygen in 20% concentration. It apparently contributes to a complex
process called aging, of which very little is known, except that it is
always fatal.

However, the main disadvantage of the 20% oxygen concentration is in the
fact it is habit forming. The first inhalation (occurring at birth) is
sufficient to make oxygen addiction permanent. After that, any
considerable decrease in the daily oxygen doses results in death with
symptoms resembling those of cyanide poisoning.

Oxygen is an extreme fire hazard. All of the fires that were reported in
the continental U.S. for the period of the past 25 years were found to be
due to the presence of this gas in the atmosphere surrounding the buildings
in question.

Oxygen is especially dangerous because it is odorless, colorless and
tasteless, so that its presence can not be readily detected until it is
too late.
