Improvements
* Audacity is now built with (our version of) the wx3.1.3 library.
Previously we used wx3.1.1.
* We added a command 'Reset Configuration' to reset to default
settings.
* MP3 Audio is now exported without padding.
* Audacity now uses 'aup3' format, with all audio in one file, rather than
the previous 'pile of file' format. We are using the SQLite library to
manageis the contents of this file. Too many users were previously getting
caught out by copying part of the project only, when backing up.
* 'Backup Project' command replaces 'Save Lossless Copy of Project' and 'Save
Compressed Copy of Project'
* Added Corsican and Marathi languages.
* 'Label Sounds' replaces 'Sound Finder' and 'Silence Finder'.
* Added Import and Export of Macros.
* Added Attack, Hold and Delay times to Noise Gate.
* Added Multi-View option to Track Preferences
* Added hidden (bindable to shortcuts) commands for repeating last generator,
analyzer or tool. Previously only most recent effect could be repeated.
* Upgraded Nyquist to 3.16
