That is 2 branch merges (one from me and one from Mathias) and about 20 commits. Energy that would otherwise be spend commuting and beating an embedded system into shape. I would call that a well spend day off :).
Podcast configuration options
There now 3 hidden configuration options added to amarokrc:
[Podcasts]
AutoUpdate Interval=30
Maximum Simultaneous Downloads=4
Maximum Simultaneous Updates=4
The interval is in minutes and updates also includes adding a new subscription.
OPML import
You can also import subscriptions from an OPML file. And it's pretty fast already.
Proof in the form of a screencast: I'm importing 50 feeds from the Digital Podcast directory.
Uploaded to vimeo, ogg version also downloadable there.

Please, please add possibility to transfer downloaded episodes to media devices. Thanks a lot for your work! :)
I agree with Serzh. It's really weird that you can't do that already.
I'm really missing "Associate With Local File" option in the right click menu. Any chance of that turning up again soon>
do you also plan to add an export of the podcasts to the opml format? i'd like to have that for backup reasons. or is it possible to create a amarok 2 script that creates the ompl file ?
@kickmetoandy:
Yes, we plan to add OPML export as well. Might not be possible before feature freeze next Tuesday though.
If you really need it soon you can indeed implement it in script by using Amarok.Collection.query() for direct access to the 'podcastchannels' table. Look in SqlPodcastProvider.cpp function createTables() for the schema.
The feature I've been missing *forever* is the ability to display the "extra" or "extended" information for a podcast! It helps me decide if I want to download it or not...
I'll be one happy dude when that returns!
Keep up the good work!
@Peter Buldge:
Starting 2.2.2, when downloading an episode, it first checks if that file doesn't already exist. So if you have those files, with the correct filename and in the folder you configured, just try to download them again. They will be associated with the episode again.
