Changes since version 2.2.0: +2. Changes since version 2.2.1: Improvements - * Waveform colorways - You can optionally change the colorway of the waveforms displayed in your project. - The setting is per track and not per project so you can have multiple colorways - in the same project. - * "Save Other" reverts to "Export" in the File menu - When we made the menu changes for 2.2.0 we introduced an entry into the File menu - called "Save Other" which led to a sub-menu for exporting various audio formats. - Many users were confused by this change and found it hard to find where they could - export audio from. So for 2.2.1 we have changed that menu entry to be File > Export. + * Dropout detection + Dropout detection is controlled from a setting in Recording Preferences + called "Detect dropouts". + When this setting is "on" (default setting) Audacity will detect dropouts + (brief gaps in the recording) and will insert zeroes into the recording + to keep the other good parts synchronized. These silent spans will make + the dropouts more obvious, but keep the duration of the recording correct. + When recording stops, a Warning message box alerts the user and a label track, + called "Dropouts", is added showing the lost parts, labeled with consecutive numbers. + * Improved horizontal zooming + For this release we have improved the way zooming using your mouse wheel + works and provided a new Zoom Toggle function. + * Improved vertical zooming + We have added a context menu to the vertical scale to control vertical zooming + Previous vertical zooming methods (left-click in the vertical ruler, left-drag + in the vertical ruler) remain available by selecting "Advanced Vertical Zooming" + in Track Behaviors Preferences. + * "Extra" menu + The "Ext-Bar" and "Ext-Command" menus have been consolidated into the "Extra" menu. + * Theme tweaks + The appearance and/or contrast of a few icons has been improved. + * Easier access to changing key bindings for shortcuts + For menu commands that are enabled (not grayed-out) if you hold the Shift key + and click on the sub-menu item, instead of executing the command the Keyboard + Preferences pop open at the chosen command. You can then change that (or any + other) shortcut binding. + * Language selection in Preferences + Interface Preferences has been upgraded so when selecting languages the proper + spelling of these languages is shown with accented and special characters. Bug Fixes - - * Release 2.2.1 is mainly a maintenance release. - Soon after the release of 2.2.0 we discovered some problematical bugs in Audacity: - Bug #1767 - Opening a second project from Mac's Finder produces a second - inaccessible instance of Audacity - Bug #1770 - Crash applying certain chain files - Bug #1783 - Preview fails when selection extends before zero - Bug #1787 - Auto-scroll stopped working in 2.2.0 - Bug #1765 - Using File > Open to import audio gives wrong zoom level - and no scroll bar slider - - See also: https://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Release_Notes_2.2.1 - and: https://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/New_features_in_Audacity_2.2.1 + * Multiple use of "Save As" to the existing open project can result in data + corruption/loss + * Crash undoing during record, using Discard button of History window + * Exporting audio in compressed formats to device with insufficient space produces + inconsistent/truncated results + * In Export Multiple, Cancel does not remove the file that is in progress when + Cancel is chosen + * Unicode page encodings fixed ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) + * Crash using SBSMS pitch change at low sample rate + * (Mac) Equalization: "Telephone" curve displays a flat line, no sound on Preview + * Toolbars: open undocked if previously not shown, unless Reset Toolbars first + * Analysis effects that create labels should give focus to label track + * Control value may be out of range when using FloatingPointValidator + * Analysis effects produce false indication that a label is open for editing + * Import Uncompressed File Dialog Incorrect Reference to Menu Item + * Wave Color not grayed out in TCP dropdown menu when in Spectrogram view + * Hover indication on note track channel toggle appears on all tracks (when + they rerender) + * Installer has old logo for 2.2.1 and 2.2.0 + + See also: https://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Release_Notes_2.2.2 + and: https://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/New_features_in_Audacity_2.2.2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -3.
