It's a music player, in case anyone's wondering. More info at https://apps.kde.org/amarok/
In five paragraphs of text there is no description of what the program does in the blog post . Pretty common for open-source blogs and release notes, but I always find it funny. At least this one has a screenshot.

Amarok has been around for a long time. I've never used it much but I remember the name.
Wow. Almost 10 years for the polishing porting to Qt5, and now KDE based on Qt6 has just been released. I didn't know that Amarok supported scripting, interesting (Imagine having a cronjob or systemd timer to slowly fade away the music).

I used to use it back in the day, but I switched to streaming and don't really have a use for a desktop music player any more.
It was good (smart playlists being a killer feature), but didn't quite look like other apps.

Iirc it was better to port through for backwards accessibility?

Sorry, I was just making a stupid joke, I've always liked Amarok, every time it stalls, it gives me a sad.

Are they ever going to respect embedded lyrics?
