2. Changes since version 2.0.3:
2. Changes since version 2.0.4:
Bug fixes for:
* Keyboard Preferences: Shortcuts for Generators, Effects and Analyzers
were not exported. All imported shortcut changes were discarded.
* Equalization curves were corrupted in Graphic EQ mode after switching
to/from Draw Curves or after running the effect then reopening it.
* Change Pitch displayed corrupted values when reducing pitch or editing
"from" Frequency. Detection was very inaccurate at high sample rates.
* Bass Boost no longer clips if the track contains 32-bit audio.
* Auto Duck was excessively slow on older machines.
* (Windows) Exported MP3 comments tags were not seen by Windows programs.
* (Windows and OS X) Audacity crashed if you used system quit before
file import was complete.
* (Linux) Equalization crashed Audacity if the XML file was corrupted.
* (Linux) When configuring effect parameters in "Edit Chains", "Preview"
(not intended to be functional) caused a crash.
* (Linux) LICENSE.txt and README.txt were wrongly installed in
/usr/local/share/doc instead of /usr/local/share/doc/audacity/ .
* Accessibility: ENTER did not toggle selectedness of a label track unless
a label was selected.
* Numerous other interface fixes.
* Shaped dither was corrupted and too loud on all stereo exports except FLAC.
* Keyboard Preferences: some Edit and Align commands for different sub-menus
showed the same name.
* 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.
Changes and Improvements:
* New "Reverb" effect to replace GVerb, based on the original "Freeverb".
* New View > Go to Selection Start and Go to Selection End commands.
* New "Align End to End" command to append existing tracks to each other.
* Change Tempo now supports fractional BPM.
* Plot Spectrum now supports FFT sizes up to 65536.
* WAV files now support "Album Title", "Track Number" and "Genre" LIST INFO
tags and also support ID3 tags.
* Handle a bug in older iPods or some OS X applications that cause them to
refuse AIFF files whose metadata contains an uneven number of characters,
* (Windows) Added support for "Windows WDM-KS" host which can provide very
low latencies if you reduce "Audio to Buffer" in Recording Preferences.
* (Windows Vista and later) You can now record computer playback by choosing
the new "Windows WASAPI" host in Device Toolbar then a "loopback" input.
* (Windows and Mac OS X): VST scanning dialog now replaced with a dialog
for choosing which VST effects to load.
* (Linux) CTRL + ALT can now be used to smooth samples in Draw Tool.
* Modules Preferences replaced with a dialog on launch of Audacity
enabling you to choose which modules to load.
* 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".
* 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.
* (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.
