Aqualung is an advanced music player for GNU/Linux (also running on other UNIX-alikes). It plays audio CDs, internet radio streams and podcasts as well as regular soundfiles in just about any audio format and has the feature of inserting absolutely no gaps between adjacent tracks.

Aqualung R-1300 has been released today as 1.0-rc1, as the first milestone in an anticipated (short) series of release candidates leading to the final 1.0 release of Aqualung. With this release, we celebrate 10 years of Aqualung!

This release contains changes from the last 2 years and 4 months -- and, as you may imagine, has been long long overdue. It would not have been possible to make it to this point without the work of core devs Jamie Heilman, Jeremy Evans and Peter Szilagyi, as well as numerous contributors who sent us patches, bugreports, translations and encouragement. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you.

A condensed selection of changes that went into this release is available in the ChangeLog, directly accessible at: http://aqualung.factorial.hu/ChangeLog
