2. Changes in version 1.3.12 Beta:
Bug fixes for:
* Imports and Exports:
* Bug when exporting partial selections caused too much audio to be
exported is fixed.
* Fix corrupt files exported through FFmpeg when metadata included,
(metadata is now exported correctly in M4A files)
* Prevent saving a new Audacity Project over an existing one as this
could corrupt both projects.
* Improved help for files that cannot be imported because the relevant
optional library is missing.
* AAC files could not be exported at 48000 Hz
* FFmpeg custom export window too large on 800 x 600 resolution
monitors
* (Linux) WAV/AIFF exports were corrupted if overwriting an aliased
file which had been imported using the command line
* Effects:
* Allow effects which change the length of the audio they work on to also be
applied to selected label tracks, thus keeping them synchronized.
* Fixed inability in Nyquist plug-ins to add labels to an existing label track
* (Mac) Equalization window was corrupted after Preview
* (Linux 64-bit) Fixed crash Generating Click Track
* Audio Devices:
* Fixed bug causing recording to stop short when the recording sample rate
is not supported by the sound device and libsamplerate is used for
resampling.
* Fix crash when opening Preferences on a machine where there are no
available audio devices.
* Fixes for bugs using Timer Record and Sound Activated Recording
* User Interface:
* Sizes of some dialogues adjusted to ensure they fit on the screen.
* Fix for supposedly "hidden" items appearing on screen with large
monitors.
* Various keyboard shortcut and translation fixes.
* Labels:
* Cutting or deleting a region in the waveform and label track did
not move the labels in advance of the cut
* Incorrect behavior snapping to labels and boundaries when Snep To
was enabled
* Labels can now be reversed if included with the audio selection
* Other bug fixes:
* Several timing-dependent crashes and minor incorrect behaviours have been
fixed
* Windows installer now installs correctly over previous versions of Audacity
* Projects froze if files imported via On-Demand were no longer
available
* Mice with high-precision scroll-wheels could cause a crash
* (Windows 7) Clicking in a file open or save dialog caused files or
folders to disappear from the list, and file filtering was broken
Changes and improvements:
* (Windows) Better icon file with higher resolution and transparency
* New SoundFinder plug-in to label regions of audio between silences, so
allowing silences between tracks to be excluded when exporting multiple
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* More intuitive behavior when moving and resizing labels by dragging
* Export Multiple: new option to use a numerical prefix before existing
label or track names; "Success" dialog now resizable
* New Equalization preset "Inverse RIAA", with new button to invert
other curves
* Timer Record now remembers last scheduled duration
* Meter Toolbar can now be made much narrower, and so more suitable for
vertical orientation
* New Preferences choice for "System" language which is used on first
run instead of asking user to choose language
* Warning now provided if WAV/AIFF exports are not successfully
completed
* (Linux) Improved icon set in compliance with freedesktop.org
Icon Theme Specification 0.6
