Dinsdag is er een nieuwe versie uitgekomen in de ontwikkeltak van de opensource audio-editor Audacity. Het programma, dat beschikbaar is voor Windows, Linux en Mac OS X, kan geluid opnemen, wav-, aiff-, ogg- en mp3-bestanden importeren en exporteren, en heeft een ongelimiteerde undo-functie. Daarnaast heeft Audacity een grote verzameling effecten aan boord, zoals fade-in en fade-out, echo, tempowijziging en ruisonderdrukking. Meer effecten kunnen eenvoudig worden toegevoegd, want het programma ondersteunt zowel vst- als ladspa-plugins. Het changelog van deze release laat de volgende veranderingen zien:
Bug fixes for:

- Bug when exporting partial selections caused too much audio to be exported is fixed
