2. Changes since version 2.1.2:
2. Changes since version 2.1.3:
Changes and Improvements:
* Interface:
* (macOS) Support for horizontal scroll on Magic Mouse / Trackpad and for
Trackpad pinch/expand zoom gestures.
* Pinned option on waveform makes waveform move and recording/playing head
stay still.
* Timer Record options to save/export/exit after recording.
* Scrub Ruler and optional Scrub Toolbar.
* New shortcuts ALT+RIGHT and ALT+LEFT (move to labels without editing).
* Effects:
* Effects no longer grayed out when paused.
* New Distortion effect (replaces Leveller).
* SBSMS (higher quality but slower) option on Change Tempo / Change Pitch
effects.
* New Rhythm Track generator (replaces Click Track).
* New Generator for Sample Data Import.
* Nyquist effects now significantly faster.
* Other Changes:
* Upgraded the PortAudio library to v19 rev r1966. This gives Audacity
Windows 10 support.
* (Windows) DirectSound now records 24-bit samples.
* (macOS) Audacity.app now has its resources inside it rather than in a
separate folder, so installation to /Applications/ is cleaner.
* (macOS) Audacity 2.1.3 provides partial support for Sierra. Details at
http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Partial_Support_for_Mac_Sierra_in_2.1.3 .
Improvements
Bug fixes:
* Four Selectable themes provided, with new 'Light' theme as default,
plus option to customize
* Many menu changes:
* Menus Reorganized
* Extended menu bar provided
* New keyboard commands for working with clips
* Help buttons ? in Preferences, Effects, Generators and Analyzers - and
other places
* Non-Greying out of effects when no selection (and explanatory dialog
with help button)
* Playback of MIDI (and Allegro) files imported into Note Tracks is
now available.
* 'Center' option in Selection Toolbar
* Stem plots
* Major overhaul to documentation/manual including many new images and
streamlined text on landing pages for in-program help.
Over 60 bugs fixed, including five longstanding bugs.
Other Changes
* Append-record is now the default (use Shift + Record for old behavior,
to record on a new track)
* The Esc key now cancels all click-and-drag actions. It also chooses among
overlapping mouse click targets, which is especially useful in the Multi-Tool.
* Sync-Lock button removed (use menu item or keyboard shortcut instead)
* New preferences and preference pages
* Overhaul of much code:
* Overhaul of envelope handling code to deal with some anomalies
* Overhaul of exception handling for greater safety
* New Logo
Bug Fixes
* Major work on bug fixing. 198 bugs that were in 2.1.3 were fixed for 2.2.0.
* The most serious bug fixed this time round was bug 437 which was
about what happens when Audacity is recording and runs out of storage.
* Most of the bugs fixed were more minor, such as bug 463 which was
about a case in which the numbering on the timeline could display
incorrect times.
