| 2. Changes since version 2.0.5:  | ||||
|  | ||||
| Bug fixes for: | ||||
|  | ||||
|  * Shaped dither was corrupted and too loud on all stereo exports except FLAC.  | ||||
|  * Interface: | ||||
|    * Region Restore did not restore the region after using Preferences.  | ||||
|    * Dragging selections with the keyboard or Selection Toolbar digits  | ||||
|       was very slow.   | ||||
|    * (Windows) Help > About Audacity crashed when run in Magyar language.   | ||||
|    * (OS X) Some full and reduced Menu Bar items were not translated.   | ||||
|    * (OS X and Linux) Fixed various interface crashes. | ||||
|  | ||||
|  * Keyboard Preferences: some Edit and Align commands for different sub-menus | ||||
|     showed the same name.    | ||||
|  * Effects: | ||||
|    * Reverb and Paulstretch were missing from Chains. | ||||
|    * Analyze > Contrast could report very inaccurate rms levels. | ||||
|    * Noise Removal: Attack and decay times were half as long as set.   | ||||
|    * (OS X and Linux) Nyquist effects ran much more slowly than on Windows.  | ||||
|  | ||||
|  * Recordings stopped with "Stop and Set Cursor" shortcut could not be undone. | ||||
|  | ||||
|  * In locales that use comma for decimal separator: | ||||
|     * Text boxes with slider in Nyquist effects only produced whole numbers  | ||||
|        when using comma to enter a fractional number. Text boxes without  | ||||
|        slider still have this problem.    | ||||
|     * Built-in generators produced silence after running a Nyquist effect.   | ||||
|  | ||||
|  * (Windows) When first changing to Windows WASAPI host, the input volume slider | ||||
|     in Mixer Toolbar was enabled when it should have been permanently disabled.  | ||||
|  | ||||
|  * (Windows) On some machines, launching Audacity then recording from the current | ||||
|     Device Toolbar input would not record until the input was reselected.  | ||||
|  | ||||
|  * (OS X) Frequent crashes occurred on importing audio files on some machines. | ||||
|  | ||||
|  * (OS X) Files did not open using Finder "Open with", double-clicking the  | ||||
|     file or dragging the file to the Audacity icon.     | ||||
|  | ||||
|  * (Linux 64-bit) Fixed a crash when using Equalization. | ||||
|  | ||||
|  * (Linux) It was not possible to open an effect or other dialog then navigate | ||||
|     through the dialog using TAB. | ||||
|  | ||||
|  * (Linux) The Play shortcut did not play a read-directly WAV, AIFF or FLAC  | ||||
|     import if the warning for importing uncompressed files appeared.  | ||||
|  * Click or drag on the Timeline after Loop Play continued to loop. | ||||
|  * Transcription Toolbar did not play slower than 0.1x speed. | ||||
|  * (Linux) Audacity did not build if python 2 was not available.   | ||||
|  | ||||
|  | ||||
| Changes and Improvements: | ||||
|  | ||||
|  * Tracks Menu: | ||||
|    * The separate commands that aligned track start or end with the cursor or | ||||
|       with selection start are combined into "Cursor/Selection Start" commands. | ||||
|    * "Align and Move Cursor" renamed to "Move Selection when Aligning".    | ||||
|  * Interface: | ||||
|    * Edit Menu: "Cut" and "Delete" are now in the top level of the menu.   | ||||
|    * Transport Menu now includes "Play/Stop" and "Play/Stop and Set Cursor"  | ||||
|       (use Keyboard Preferences to create shortcuts for "Play" and "Stop"). | ||||
|    * Tracks Menu now includes "Mix and Render to New Track".  | ||||
|    * Track Drop-Down Menu now has Move Track To Top and Move Track To Bottom.  | ||||
|    * New right-click menu choice "Delete Label" to remove single labels. | ||||
|    * "Snap To" now offers choice of snap to the "closest" or "prior" position. | ||||
|       Note: the previous "Snap To On" keyboard shortcut will no longer work.    | ||||
|    * "Snap To" settings are now independent for each project. | ||||
|  | ||||
|  * Label Tracks: | ||||
|    * Labels Editor now allows empty labels to be saved on closing the editor. | ||||
|    * TAB and SHIFT+TAB when the label track has focus now always move forwards | ||||
|       or backwards respectively to the nearest label. | ||||
|  * Effects: | ||||
|    * Truncate Silence: redesigned with simpler option "Truncate Detected  | ||||
|       Silence" to shorten to the specified length without compressing silence. | ||||
|    * VST effects: New "Settings" dialog lets you specify buffer size (for  | ||||
|       faster processing) and enable buffer delay compensation (to prevent | ||||
|       inserted silence). Compensation may cause a crash in a few plug-ins.  | ||||
|    * VST effects now support standard FXP presets.   | ||||
|    * LV2 effects are now supported on all platforms (textual interface only).     | ||||
|  | ||||
|  * (Windows) On a very few machines, the Windows WDM-KS low latency audio host | ||||
|     introduced in Audacity 2.0.4 caused Audacity to hang or the computer to  | ||||
|     crash. WDM-KS has been removed from 2.0.5 until it can be safely enabled. | ||||
|  | ||||
|  * (Windows and OS X) Screen reader improvements for Install VST Effects dialog.   | ||||
|  | ||||
|  * (OS X) Audio Unit plug-ins detected by Audacity on launch are now not loaded | ||||
|     until chosen from the Effect menu. This should speed up launch and avoid | ||||
|     crashes at launch due to misbehaving Audio Units.   | ||||
|  | ||||
|  * (Linux) Update to PortAudio r1910 fixes memory and other bugs under ALSA. | ||||
|  | ||||
|  * (Linux) Applied fix for wxGTK 2.8.12 bug which resulted in loss of Audacity's | ||||
|     menu bar (or visual corruption under Unity) on Debian-based systems. | ||||
|  * Import or export using FFmpeg now requires FFmpeg 1.2 or later (or libav | ||||
|     0.8 or later). For recommended downloads of recent FFmpeg please visit: | ||||
|     http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/faq_installation_and_plug_ins.html#ffdown . | ||||
|  * New Tamil translation (largely complete).  | ||||
|  * (Windows) FLAC exports can now exceed 2 GB in size.  | ||||
|  * (OS X) Easier Audacity installation using the DMG: drag the Audacity folder | ||||
|     to the /Applications shortcut,  | ||||
|  * (OS X) Audacity 2.0.6 will not officially support OS X 10.10 Yosemite when  | ||||
|     released (in particular, Apple Audio Units may not open in Audacity). | ||||
|  * (Linux) Self-compiled builds of Audacity now search for system LADSPA  | ||||
|     effects in /usr/lib/ladspa,  .   | ||||
