* Bug fixes for Click Track, High Pass, Low Pass and Vocal Remover.
* Chirp, Tone and Silence generators now remember their settings.
* Other miscellaneous bug fixes.
* Other bug fixes:
* Audacity has been provisionally fixed so that it can no longer create

and can no longer delete these, which led to data loss. Any overlong
blocks found are preserved but "orphaned", so will appear as silence.
* Orphan block files were wrongly reported if cutting or copying to
the clipboard then reopening the project in the same session.
* Fixed some crashes and incorrect movement of audio when dragging tracks.
* (Windows) Data loss is now prevented when encountering a corrupted
.aup file created in ANSI builds.
* (Linux) Restore building if USE_PORTMIXER is not defined.
