+2. Changes in version 1.3.6a5
Interface:
- * New Preference: Default View Mode, to choose type of
- waveform, spectrum or pitch view for new tracks
- * Note Track: experimental support is now enabled by defining
- USE_MIDI in config*, but does not build out-of-the-box
- on Windows
- * Bug fixes for linked audio and label tracks; now supports
- label shifting when changing speed and generating tones
+ * Note Track now builds on Windows
+ * Fixes/improvements for linked audio and label tracks (one
+ desynchronisation bug remains when pasting audio into a
+ greater number of tracks than were copied); now supports
+ label shifting when changing pitch and tempo
+ * Added full label pasting support: now possible to paste
+ multiple labels, region labels and labels with audio, and
+ correct label text is now pasted
Import / Export:
- * Improvements/fixes for AAC exports including new M4A
- filter for compatibility with iTunes; RealAudio export
- temporarily removed
- * Improved refresh of on-demand loading; fixed a phantom
- on-demand progress bar when time-shifting clips
+ * Added full "on-demand" support (now with minimum file
+ length of 30 seconds): clicking moves summary calculation
+ point; supports split and merge of stereo tracks;
+ incompletely summarised tracks resume summary loading
+ automatically upon import; Status Bar progress indication
Effects:
- * Experimental support for LV2 plug-in architecture on Linux
- and Mac, but operation may be buggy; no LV2 support yet on
- Windows, because the required slv2 library currently does.
- not build
+ * Fixed a bug where previewing Equalization curves more
+ than once previewed the unmodified audio
+ * Improvements to DTMF generator
+
+Miscellaneous:
+ * Improved support for working with audio in excess of 2^31
+ samples (about 13.5 hours at 44100 Hz); some accessibility
+ improvements

- * If a saved project includes tracks at a sample rate of more than

- * When audio/label track linkage is on, pasting audio into multiple
- tracks inserts silence as well as the pasted content.
