are cutting edge releases. Whilst I am careful about the changes I make, if

you want assurances about the degree of testing done, use an official Audacity

release that has been through the official Audacity QA process.

|
||||
2. DarkAudacity 2.1.3x; changes since Audacity version 2.1.2:
|
||||
|
||||
Changes and Improvements:
|
||||
|
||||
* Interface:
|
||||
* Spectrogram settings are now available per track.
|
||||
* Clearer (sharper) display of pitch (EAC).
|
||||
* New 'Spectral Reassignment' option in spectrogram. Good for vocal work.
|
||||
* New icon set derived from Google's material design icons.
|
||||
* Dark themed colours, dark background and orange waves.
|
||||
* New Logo(s) (yes, I agree it needs more TLC.)
|
||||
* Reorganisation of menus (less cruft in top level menus)
|
||||
* New Menu Items for Export MP3, WAV or OGG.
|
||||
* Clutter on left of track panel removed, sliders and meters simplified.
|
||||
* Sync-Lock demoted; still available from menus if you want it.
|
||||
* Record now records at end of the track, rather than under to make a mix.
|
||||
To get the old behaviour, use SHIFT before pressing record.
|
||||
* Many actions that were previously disabled when paused are now enabled.
|
||||
Pause 'pops up' if you click on them.
|
||||
* Pinned (centred) or Unpinned Play-Head (by Paul Licameli)
|
||||
* Optional Scrub-Ruler and Scrub-Toolbar (by Paul Licameli)
|
||||
* Recording Preferences for naming of recorded tracks (Audacity Team).
|
||||
* Option to mix MP3 export to Mono (Audacity Team).
|
||||
* Timer Record dialog extended (Mark Young).
|
||||
|
||||
* Other Changes:
|
||||
* Upgraded the wxWidgets library from wx 2.8.12 to wx 3.0.2. This is
|
||||
the main change in this release.
|
||||
* Ongoing code review/upgrade work. Mainly to identify risky code and
|
||||
improve consistency in the code, which in turn reduces errors. This has
|
||||
removed some memory leaks, and identified places where Audacity continues
|
||||
on from some action without checking for errors first.
|
||||
* Installer ships without manual; Translations not installed; accessibility
|
||||
support not enabled. Only Windows. [These save me a lot of time in
|
||||
preparing a release - e.g 3 platforms = 3x the work.].
|
||||
* Officially supports Win10 (Audacity 2.1.2 did not).
|
||||
* Upgraded PortAudio to r1966.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Bug fixes:
|
||||
|
||||
* Crashes
|
||||
* Crash using 'space' in Selection toolbar context menu fixed.
|
||||
* Crash setting equalization effect parameters in chains fixed.
|
||||
* Crash when pressing both mouse buttons over toolbar buttons fixed.
|
||||
* (Rare) crash or freeze in sound activated recording fixed.
|
||||
* (Rare) crash on using plot spectrum for first time fixed.
|
||||
* 82 bugs we knew about in 2.1.2 addressed, 66 closed, 16 had some residual
|
||||
problems after the fixes. These issues included a dramatic slowdown when
|
||||
using Lyrics Window with lots of lyrics (fully fixed), and labels
|
||||
being written at the wrong position in some circumstances (fully fixed). I'm
|
||||
not listing all these issues, but this gives an idea of the kind of issue.
|
||||
* At least as much work has gone into other issues which we did not know about
|
||||
when we released 2.1.2. These were for example caused by work on new
|
||||
features, and usually were in those features, or came to light as a result
|
||||
of code review (mostly code review by Paul).
|
||||
|
||||
* Interface
|
||||
* Equalization effect settings are now saved.
|
||||
* Oversized Export Options window (FFmpeg) now OK on smaller screens
|
||||
* FLAC import/export fast again.
|
||||
* Can now set undefined frequency in Spectral Selection bar.
|
||||
* Imported presets on custom FFmpeg export fixed.
|
||||
* Text input boxes working with VAMP
|
||||
* Keyboard playback commands now work again.
|
||||
* Import Raw Data now works when in Polish language.
|
||||
|
||||
* Mac OS X
|
||||
* Mouse preference bindings now show 'command', not 'ctrl'

Many issues that affected Audacity 2.1.2 will affect DarkAudacity 2.1.3x too,
|

since DarkAudacity is derived from Audacity code. Many Audacity 2.1.2 issues
