|
||||
2. Changes in version 1.3.14 Beta:
|
||||
|
||||
Bug fixes for:
|
||||
|
||||
* Interface:
|
||||
* Cutting or copying from a track at a given sample rate into a track
|
||||
at another rate resulted in speed-changed audio.
|
||||
* Generating inside a clip could modify the clip length or create
|
||||
spurious clips.
|
||||
* Recorded stereo tracks were only half the height of imported or
|
||||
generated stereo tracks. Imported stereo files had a "1" appended
|
||||
to the track name.
|
||||
* Edit > Region Save did not save the cursor position.
|
||||
* (Windows) Projects crashed when clicking rapidly inside the interface
|
||||
or when applying repeated effects towards the end of audio tracks.
|
||||
* (Windows) Some Unicode characters could not be typed into labels,
|
||||
or caused a freeze using some input methods.
|
||||
* (OS X) Crash when quitting an empty project window, or when closing the
|
||||
main project window while a progress dialog was on screen.
|
||||
* Numerous other interface fixes including Dependencies dialog,
|
||||
Keyboard Preferences and spurious lines drawn on waveform.
|
||||
* Excessive delay occurred when typing into labels in long projects.
|
||||
* Last digit of TimeText controls could not be manipulated in some formats.
|
||||
* (Windows, OS X) Play and Record shortcuts did not work after clicking in
|
||||
Device Toolbar.
|
||||
* (OS X, Linux) Crash occurred if Toolbars were reset during playback or
|
||||
recording.
|
||||
|
||||
* Imports and Exports:
|
||||
* Support added for later versions of the optional FFmpeg library up to
|
||||
current FFmpeg HEAD. This should significantly improve FFmpeg support
|
||||
on Linux. FFmpeg downloads for Windows and Mac updated to v0.6. This
|
||||
fixes mono AAC files importing as stereo, though current 0.5 versions
|
||||
of FFmpeg will still work.
|
||||
* Both FFmpeg and LAME should now be properly detected even when other
|
||||
versions of those libraries exist on the system.
|
||||
* New warning (on by default) for importing uncompressed audio files.
|
||||
Better error messages when read-directly uncompressed files are missing.
|
||||
* Imported ID3v2 metadata tags were removed when exporting without the
|
||||
Metadata Editor appearing (for example, when using an export command
|
||||
in Chains). Note: As a result of this fix, ID3v1 tags must now be
|
||||
written by exporting using (external program) and an installed LAME.
|
||||
* U-Law/A-Law files with WAV headers now use the standard 18 byte fmt chunk,
|
||||
so should now be recognised by most telephony applications.
|
||||
* Variable bit rate MP3s exported using "MP3 Files" were larger than
|
||||
necessary because using the bit reservoir was disabled.
|
||||
* (OS X) Files imported from iTunes could create invalid characters in the
|
||||
.aup project file, causing an error when re-opening the project. Note:
|
||||
An error "reference to invalid character number" will still occur if
|
||||
re-opening a project created in previous Betas that contains such
|
||||
characters. To fix the issue, open a back-up copy of the .aup file in a
|
||||
text editor, turn off word wrap, then in the line indicated in the error
|
||||
message, remove the string of characters that starts with &# and ends
|
||||
with a semi-colon (;).
|
||||
* MP2 files were not importable without FFmpeg library or an import rule.
|
||||
* Files that could only be imported using FFmpeg imported as noise with
|
||||
no error message if FFmpeg was not available.
|
||||
* Files containing PCM audio but an incorrect extension (such as MP3)
|
||||
caused a freeze.
|
||||
|
||||
* Effects and Analysis:
|
||||
* An empty command could be added to a Chain which then displayed a
|
||||
Nyquist error message when run.
|
||||
* Plot Spectrum didn't preserve signal level if multiple tracks were
|
||||
analyzed.
|
||||
|
||||
* Other bug fixes:
|
||||
* Nyquist effects: fixes for crashes, incorrect slider behaviour and better
|
||||
support for backslashes, double quotes and Unicode characters.
|
||||
* (Windows and OS X) Processing of VST effects was substantially slower than
|
||||
in previous versions of Audacity.
|
||||
* (OS X 10.5 PPC) A first-time installation of Audacity Beta would hang
|
||||
on launch if VST effects were detected.
|
||||
* (Linux) Recordings made with the pulse device crashed or stalled when
|
||||
using overdub and/or software playthrough.
|
||||
* (Linux) Play-at-Speed crashed at 0.08 speed or lower if Audacity was
|
||||
configured with libsamplerate.
|
||||
* Audacity has been provisionally fixed so that it can no longer create
|
||||
block files longer than the sample format or project format allows,
|
||||
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.
|
||||
|
||||
Changes and Improvements:
|
||||
|
||||
* Control Toolbar renamed to Transport Toolbar.
|
||||
* Device Toolbar (on by default) now contains all input and output device
|
||||
choices, including host and recording channels. Input/output choices are
|
||||
no longer in Mixer Toolbar on Windows XP or some older operating systems.
|
||||
New Transport > Rescan Audio Devices menu item to refresh the device list.
|
||||
* New "Sync-Lock Tracks" feature (turned on in the Tracks menu) to allow
|
||||
groups of audio and/or label tracks to retain synchronisation when the
|
||||
track length changes.
|
||||
* Equalization: New "Manage Curves" dialog for importing and exporting curves.
|
||||
* Noise Removal: New "Sensitivity" slider to adjust the noise threshold, and
|
||||
new option to isolate noise.
|
||||
* New "Extended Import" Preferences for specifying different importers to
|
||||
open specific file extensions.
|
||||
* Improved Automatic Crash Recovery with all project changes autosaved.
|
||||
* MIDI tracks can be vertically zoomed, time shifted and display bar lines.
|
||||
Note: the channel selection buttons are not available in 1.3.13.
|
||||
* (Windows and Linux) The window Close button and other system close or
|
||||
shutdown commands now quit on closing the last window. File > Close now
|
||||
always clears to a new, empty project.
|
||||
* (OS X) Simpler installer with top-level "Auadacity" folder.
|
||||
|
||||
* Normalize: Faster processing and improved interface. Left-right balance
|
||||
in unsplit stereo tracks is now preserved by default, with a checkbox
|
||||
option provided to process stereo channels independently.
|
||||
* Spectrograms now allow window sizes up to 32768 and frequencies up to
|
||||
half the sample rate (the maximum possible).
|
||||
* Mix and Render now preserves clip length by not rendering white space
|
||||
between time zero and first audio, and preserves audio before time zero.
|
||||
To retain silence before the audio starts, generate silence after render.
|
||||
* Grouped some Edit Menu items into "Remove Audio" and "Clip Boundaries".
|
||||
* CleanSpeech Mode removed from Interface Preferences (it still runs if it
|
||||
was enabled in a previous Audacity but can only be turned off there).
|
||||
* (OS X) Added support for AudioUnit MusicEffects (but no MIDI support).
|
||||
* (Linux) Set the per-user files directory per the program name set in
|
||||
configure.
|
||||
* (Linux) Changed the default location of the Audacity temporary directory
|
||||
to be in /var/tmp not /tmp, so preserving the directory between reboots.
