This release introduces clip handles, smart clips and playback looping as its major new features.

Smaller changes:

  • Context menus have been added in more places.
  • In the preferences, Tracks > Track behaviors > Editing a clip can move other clips is now disabled by default
  • The spectrogram defaults have been changed: scale type to Mel (was Linear), top of scale to 20000 Hz (was 8000 Hz), window size to 2048 (was 1024), and zero padding to 2 (was 1).
  • The main volume controls no longer change the system volume.
  • Raw Import now will remember the previously used settings. Automatic detection of the format now is a button.
  • A journaling feature has been added for QA purposes.
  • Generate > Tone now supports triangle waves.
  • There now exist "What's new" screens for the update and welcome dialogs.
  • Timeline Quick Play for regions and locked regions have been replaced by playback looping.
  • The shortcut to rename labels and clip names has temporarily been hardcoded to Ctrl+F2.
    • This conflicts with the default xfce shortcut to change workspaces.

Library changes:

  • FFMPEG now supports avformat 55, 57 and 58.
  • PortAudio has been updated to version 19.7 and devendored (so it can be built against 19.6).
  • Several libraries (expat, libsndfile, ...) have been devendored. The CMakeLists.txt lists which versions we build against.
