Other changes focus on GUI and recording/encoding improvements. Please test and report problems! Thanks.

This snapshot should fix some compile time problems under KDE 3.0 and a segfault after station scan. New features are MP3 recording and alarms configurable for a set of specific weekdays.

Please test and report problems! Thanks.

P.S.: For all those who sent preset files - I have to apologize, due tue my lack of time they're not yet in this snapshot, but they're not forgotten. Thanks for your patience.

Please test and report problems and errors! Though this release is labelled "alpha" KRadio 0.3.0-alpha2 seems to be rather stable.

Upgrade Information (0.2.x to 0.3.0)

Please note, that the station list format has changed from KRadio 0.2.x to 0.3.x. Old station lists will be read without problems, except station selections for quickbar and docking menu will be lost. They can be set up easily with the new configuration dialog now. Unfortunately your alarm setup from KRadio 0.2.x will be lost, too.

BACKUP YOUR STATION PRESET FILE! As soon as you quit kradio and the station preset file is written, any release of 0.2.x won't be able to read it any more. The configuration file kradiorc will remain backward compatible.

KRadio-0.3.0-alpha2 will be released soon, this time with .rpm and perhaps .deb packages.

Finally a first version of kradio is available after the major rewrite. This version finally includes the improved GUI. Less visible are the internal architeture changes. Now it is possible to add new plugins, e.g. for Internet Radio Streams or alternative displays. Thanks to the contribution of many people around the world the preset data base grew up to 248 preset files from 18 countries.

Please test and report problems and errors! Though this release is labelled "alpha" KRadio 0.3.0-alpha1 seems to be rather stable, all functions known from 0.2.8pre1b should work, too. Only recording, V4L2 and the About-Dialog are not yet ready.

A Note for users of KDE 3.0 and/or gcc < 3.3: There are several compile time problems in KRadio-0.3.0-alpha1. A patch is available on the download page. It also includes V4L2 support.

Fixed "Umlauts" problem (backport from CVS) and quickbar problem with mixed up stations. Many new preset files.

Please excuse the strange release numbering. Once apon a time it was planned to release 0.2.8 with the new design (introduced in pre2, which was not published because of missing color configuration and the fact, that green is possibly not everyone's choice). Some thoughts later it appeared that the internal structure had reached it's limit. The new structure is currently being implemented in CVS. Thus there will be no 0.2.8, only important bugs in 0.2.8pre1 will be fixed.

Current preset files collection extracted from CVS.

Fixes missing xml escapes. For details see ChangeLog.

Configuration dialog is now in KDE style. Added a configurable "good signal" level. And many fixes that can be read in the ChangeLog.

Thanks to Klas Kalass. He added the germany/hamburg-antenna.krp file. If you like to contribute to the station preset database, please send me your <kdehome>/share/apps/kradio/stations.krp after filling out the About-Tab of the station configuration dialog.

A sleep function was added, many old ;) bugs fixed. Now kradio uses a more KDE-Like scheme for configuration files. Backward compatibility should have been kept. For details have a look at the ChangeLog

Now the preset database project has started.
