Changes since version 2.0.2: Bug fixes for: - * Interface: - * "Retain labels" Interface Preference did not retain labels for - a region that snapped exactly to both label edges. - * Projects did not save the track selected state. - * (OS X, Linux) Timer Record: Interlinking of the Start, End and - Duration controls was broken. - * (Windows) JAWS screen-reader did not read the "Draw curves" and - "Graphic EQ" radio buttons in Equalization correctly. + * Crash using Undo whilst time-shifting a track. + * Crash using Repair if the selection extended into an empty track. + * Export Multiple didn't prevent export if there was no audio or + all audio was muted. This allowed export of small invalid files. - * Envelopes and Clips: - * Exporting (or any render operation) on a track containing - split lines could create clicks at the split lines. - * Dragging a clip into another track caused a crash if Sync-Lock - Tracks was enabled and there was also a label track. + * Time Track: + * Loop Play of a speeded-up track inserted silence. + * Playback and rendering was significantly inaccurate, creating + audible and visual glitches. - * Effects and Analysis: - * Normalize could crash if the track name contained "%". + * Accessibility: + * The mnemonics character "&" was read out by screen readers in + most of the Preferences choices. + * NVDA did not read static text in most dialogs. Text can now be + read by using INSERT + B. + * JAWS and Window-eyes misread the "Duration" control in Silence + Generator. + * Toolbar buttons could not be pressed by ENTER + + * Other interface bug fixes. Changes and Improvements: - * Duration controls when generating at a point now default to - hh:mm:ss + milliseconds format. Selection Toolbar also defaults - to that format on first installation or resetting preferences. - * Toolbars visual improvements: - * "Snap To" in Selection Toolbar now has an explanatory tooltip. - * Device Toolbar tooltips now display the selected device. - * Increased default width of Device Toolbar and Meter Toolbar. - * Improvements and some bug fixes to Nyquist effects, including: - * Delay (new option to prevent duration change) - * Sample Data Export (new "L-R on Same Line" layout option) - * Risset Drum (new "Amplitude" slider). - * Importing a labels file writes the file name to the name of the - Label Track, and exporting a labels file offers the name of the - last Label Track in the project. - * Removed the "Audio cache" option from Directories Preferences - due to frequent crash reports. All data operations will now - be written to disk and not to RAM. - * Removed the FFmpeg "On-Demand" option from Libraries Preferences - (this fixes Audacity not building if configured --without-ffmpeg). - * Compilation: Progress on making the Modules feature mainstream. - Modules can now be individually enabled and disabled in Preferences. + * The SoX Resampler library (libsoxr) has replaced libresample in + Audacity releases, offering both higher quality and greater speed. . + + * Time Tracks new features: + * "Set Range" now changes only the range of the Time Track, + preserving the pitch/speed set by any existing warp points. + * Vertical scale added with options for linear and logarithmic + display and interpolation. + * Upper and lower speed limits will now be remembered when saving + and reopening a project in 2.0.3. Warp points in projects saved + by previous Audacity versions will be correctly restored in 2.0.3. + * Warp points saved in a 2.0.3 project will be preserved if opened + in previous versions but playback and display will be incorrect. + + * New effects: + * Studio Fade Out (uses a filtered "S" curve). + * Adjustable Fade (accessible effect for creating partial fades + and adjustable fade shapes). + * Bass and Treble (replaces Bass Boost). + * Real sample rates up to 384000 Hz are now supported for playback + and recording in high resolution devices (the maximum is up to + 192000 Hz for Windows DirectSound host). + + * Labeled Regions in Edit Menu is renamed to "Labeled Audio" and now + allows splits to be placed at point labels. Labeled audio regions + that touch without overlapping are treated as separate regions. + Overlapping labeled audio regions are treated as a single region. + + * Compilation: cmake is required in order to build libsoxr. + + * New Croatian translation of Audacity. + ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -3.
