2. Changes since version 2.2.1:
Improvements
* Waveform colorways
You can optionally change the colorway of the waveforms displayed in your project.
The setting is per track and not per project so you can have multiple colorways
in the same project.
* "Save Other" reverts to "Export" in the File menu
When we made the menu changes for 2.2.0 we introduced an entry into the File menu
called "Save Other" which led to a sub-menu for exporting various audio formats.
Many users were confused by this change and found it hard to find where they could
export audio from. So for 2.2.1 we have changed that menu entry to be File > Export.
* Dropout detection
Dropout detection is controlled from a setting in Recording Preferences
called "Detect dropouts".
When this setting is "on" (default setting) Audacity will detect dropouts
(brief gaps in the recording) and will insert zeroes into the recording
to keep the other good parts synchronized. These silent spans will make
the dropouts more obvious, but keep the duration of the recording correct.
When recording stops, a Warning message box alerts the user and a label track,
called "Dropouts", is added showing the lost parts, labeled with consecutive numbers.
* Improved horizontal zooming
For this release we have improved the way zooming using your mouse wheel
works and provided a new Zoom Toggle function.
* Improved vertical zooming
We have added a context menu to the vertical scale to control vertical zooming
Previous vertical zooming methods (left-click in the vertical ruler, left-drag
in the vertical ruler) remain available by selecting "Advanced Vertical Zooming"
in Track Behaviors Preferences.
* "Extra" menu
The "Ext-Bar" and "Ext-Command" menus have been consolidated into the "Extra" menu.
* Theme tweaks
The appearance and/or contrast of a few icons has been improved.
* Easier access to changing key bindings for shortcuts
For menu commands that are enabled (not grayed-out) if you hold the Shift key
and click on the sub-menu item, instead of executing the command the Keyboard
Preferences pop open at the chosen command. You can then change that (or any
other) shortcut binding.
* Language selection in Preferences
Interface Preferences has been upgraded so when selecting languages the proper
spelling of these languages is shown with accented and special characters.
Bug Fixes
* Release 2.2.1 is mainly a maintenance release.
Soon after the release of 2.2.0 we discovered some problematical bugs in Audacity:
Bug #1767 - Opening a second project from Mac's Finder produces a second
inaccessible instance of Audacity
Bug #1770 - Crash applying certain chain files
Bug #1783 - Preview fails when selection extends before zero
Bug #1787 - Auto-scroll stopped working in 2.2.0
Bug #1765 - Using File > Open to import audio gives wrong zoom level
and no scroll bar slider

* Multiple use of "Save As" to the existing open project can result in data
corruption/loss
* Crash undoing during record, using Discard button of History window
* Exporting audio in compressed formats to device with insufficient space produces
inconsistent/truncated results
* In Export Multiple, Cancel does not remove the file that is in progress when
Cancel is chosen
* Unicode page encodings fixed ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
* Crash using SBSMS pitch change at low sample rate
* (Mac) Equalization: "Telephone" curve displays a flat line, no sound on Preview
* Toolbars: open undocked if previously not shown, unless Reset Toolbars first
* Analysis effects that create labels should give focus to label track
* Control value may be out of range when using FloatingPointValidator
* Analysis effects produce false indication that a label is open for editing
* Import Uncompressed File Dialog Incorrect Reference to Menu Item
* Wave Color not grayed out in TCP dropdown menu when in Spectrogram view
* Hover indication on note track channel toggle appears on all tracks (when
they rerender)
