Audacity® is free, open source software for recording and editing sounds. It is available for Mac OS X, Microsoft Windows, GNU/Linux, and other operating systems.

Bug fixes for:

Imports and Exports:

• Freeze importing audio files when Default View Mode set to Pitch (EAC)
• Simultaneous On-Demand imports sorted incorrectly
• WAV or AIFF files imported as noise if Preferences set to copy in the data at 24-bit quality
• WMA exports corrupted if they contained metadata
• Metadata Editor appeared before the Export window when exporting to any format

Effects:

• Crash or hang using Equalization on longer tracks
• Reverse did not reverse clip boundaries
• Nyquist:
  • Excessive memory consumption led to slow processing or crashes
  • Values appearing in text boxes not always the default or previously entered values
  • Errors running in European locales where comma used as decimal separator
• VST effects remained in Effect menu even when re-scanned and no longer available
• Truncate Silence produced incorrect results if silences spanned a block boundary

Other bug fixes:

• Spurious "not writable/disk full" errors when saving projects
• Playing, rendering or exporting multiple tracks led to desynchronized playback or loss of audio data
• Crash opening Preferences when no recording and/or playback devices enabled or connected
• Preferences window: OK button did not respond to ENTER when a tab selected in left-hand panel
• Mixer Board solo button handling
• (Windows) After a period launching correctly, Audacity sometimes did not come up on top at launch
• (Mac OS X) Correctly installed Help folder could not be found
• (Mac OS X and Linux) Output slider could affect VU playback meter which then did not reflect actual waveform volume level
• (Linux) Undoing or redoing a label edit could cause a crash

Changes and improvements:

• Linked audio and label tracks disabled until a future Beta version so they can be bug fixed
• Input volume slider will be disabled if it doesn't have proper control of system slider; use the system slider instead
• Proper support for copying/pasting label-with-audio including label text; new Edit > Paste Text to New Label menu item to paste system clipboard
• Contrast Tool now modeless, more intuitive handling of multiple project windows, various other minor improvements
