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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -3.
