DarkAudacity Version 2.3.2x 

The x,y, and z suffixes indicate experimental releases.  DarkAudacity releases 
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 2.3.2x, changes since earlier versions.

 Many of the changes pioneered in Dark Audacity 2.1.3x have now ben integrated 
 into mainstream Audacity 2.3.2.  Audacity has updated its standard (light) 
 theme to use much of the new design.  Audacity now offers our dark theme as 
 a new option.  Audacity has reorganised its menus to be more compact.

 There isn't a lot of difference between DarkAudacity and Audacity.  That's
 mainly because I've been doing the work of modifying Audacity to have the
 new features.

 Dark Audacity is working well as a way to blaze new trails.  These are
 some key differences between DarkAudacity 2.3.2x and Audacity 2.3.2.


 * Interface:  
   * Dark is the default theme.
   * Mute and Solo buttons are stacked rather than side-by-side.
   * Larger cursor position indicator in Selection Toolbar.
   * Combined Device, Meter and Mixer toolbars into one simpler toolbar.
   * Option of LED meters (it's the new default).
   * Different Logos.
   * Clutter on left of track panel removed rather than moved to the bottom.
   
 * Other Changes:   
   * 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.].

   
Bug fixes:
 * 82 bugs we knew about in 2.1.2x 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 2.1.2x.  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).

3. Known Issues in 2.3.2x:

Please see the facebook page for DarkAudacity for discussion of issues.

Many issues that affect Audacity 2.3.2 will affect DarkAudacity 2.3.2x too, 
since DarkAudacity and Audacity have a lot of code in common.  Many Audacity 
2.3.2 issues are listed here:
