January 18, 2010: Audacity 1.3.11 released
The Audacity Team is pleased to announce the release of
Audacity 1.3.11 (Beta) for Windows,
Mac and Linux/Unix. This release fixes a number of bugs reported
to us in 1.3.10. Thank you to everyone who sent us feedback.
We dedicate this release to
David R.Sky
who passed away in October 2009. David did some great work on
Audacity
plug-ins and his work lives on today in our program. He provided
assistance to all who needed help. We shall miss him.
1.3.11 has provisional support for Windows 7 and is
also strongly recommended for Windows Vista and
Mac OS X 10.6, rather than 1.2 Stable. We ask everyone
to help us test 1.3.11 and
let us know of any problems you find. Advanced users are
encouraged to test our subsequent fixes as we make them by
downloading our
Nightly Builds. Beta releases are still ongoing at present. Please
subscribe to receive news of all our future releases.
Summary of Changes in 1.3.11:
Bug fixes for:
Too much audio exported when exporting partial selections
Exports via FFmpeg corrupted if included metadata; M4A now
supports metadata export
Nyquist plug-ins did not add labels to an existing label track
Crash opening Preferences when no audio devices available
Timer Record and Sound Activated Recording bugs
(Windows) Installer now installs correctly over
previous Audacity versions
Miscellaneous crashes and interface issues
