Changes since 1.2.4:
Changes in 1.2.6:
* Fix memory leaks on Windows.
* Correct font size problems.
* Enable missing FLAC support.
Changes in 1.2.5:
* An official Intel Mac version is now available.
* Fixed bug in Generate Silence which caused it to apply to all tracks
instead of just the selected ones.
* Mac OS X: audio device opening code has been rewritten. First, it
is much more conservative about changing device settings; it will
not change settings when you open the program or close the
preferences dialog anymore, and it will not change the settings when
you begin playback/recording if the current settings are adequate.
When it does change the settings, it should work much better on
devices such as the Griffin iMic, ART USB Phono Plus,
and Ion iMX02 USB.
* Mac OS X: added new Audio I/O preference that lets you tell Audacity
to never change any audio device settings.
* Newer libsndfile supports FLAC import and export
* Updated soundtouch to current version which is faster and better quality
* Modified configure script prefers system libraries to local copies to
reduce compilation times and memory usage.
* Minor updates to help files.
* New or updated translations: Bulgarian (bg), Galician (gl),
Traditional Chinese (zh_TW), Simplified Chinese (zh), Slovenian (sl),
Swedish (sv), Bangladeshi (bn), Slovakian (sk), Romanian (ro),
Lithuanian (lt), Welsh (cy), and Turkish (tr).
had actually been ignoring LTCONFIG_OVERRIDE anyway and just using
the default LIBTOOL_OVERRIDE to replace libtool scripts in packages.
This just formalizes the fact that LTCONFIG_OVERRIDE is not used
meaningfully by pkgsrc.
PKGLOCALEDIR and which install their locale files directly under
${PREFIX}/${PKGLOCALEDIR} and sort the PLIST file entries. From now
on, pkgsrc/mk/plist/plist-locale.awk will automatically handle
transforming the PLIST to refer to the correct locale directory.
developer is officially maintaining the package.
The rationale for changing this from "tech-pkg" to "pkgsrc-users" is
that it implies that any user can try to maintain the package (by
submitting patches to the mailing list). Since the folks most likely
to care about the package are the folks that want to use it or are
already using it, this would leverage the energy of users who aren't
developers.
* A serious problem with the French translation was corrected.
Changes 1.2.4:
* The File menu now includes a list of recent files.
* The "Generate Silence" effect now prompts for a length.
* Audacity is now built with Vorbis 1.1, which features better encoding quality
and file compression.
* Dragging sound files into the Audacity window now works on Mac OS X and Linux,
as well as Windows. (Before, it worked only on Windows.)
* Better support for certain audio devices on Mac OS X 10.4 "Tiger"
* The "View History" window can now discard old undo levels to save disk space
on Windows. (This previously worked only on Linux and Mac.)
* "Preferences" command is now in Edit menu.
* "Plot Spectrum" command is now in Analyze menu.
* Opening a project file saved by a later version of Audacity displays an
intelligent error message. Also, trying to import a project file (instead of
open it) displays an intelligent error message.
* Audacity now compiles in Visual C++ .NET 2003.
* Other minor bug fixes.
* New or updated translations: Arabic (ar), Czech (cs), Finnish (fi), Hungarian
(hu), Japanese (ja), Norwegian (nb), Slovenian (sl), Simplified Chinese
(zh_CN), Traditional Chinese (zh_TW).
default deals only with two level hierachies.
Add explicit saving of %ebp around cpuid, since GCC 3.4 doesn't like the
register clobbering.
Add DragonFly and OpenBSD conditionals. The latter are not tested, but
wiz@ suggested them as most likely correct.
USE_TOOLS and any of "autoconf", "autoconf213", "automake" or
"automake14". Also, we don't need to call the auto* tools via
${ACLOCAL}, ${AUTOCONF}, etc., since the tools framework takes care
to symlink the correct tool to the correct name, so we can just use
aclocal, autoconf, etc.
Several changes are involved since they are all interrelated. These
changes affect about 1000 files.
The first major change is rewriting bsd.builtin.mk as well as all of
the builtin.mk files to follow the new example in bsd.builtin.mk.
The loop to include all of the builtin.mk files needed by the package
is moved from bsd.builtin.mk and into bsd.buildlink3.mk. bsd.builtin.mk
is now included by each of the individual builtin.mk files and provides
some common logic for all of the builtin.mk files. Currently, this
includes the computation for whether the native or pkgsrc version of
the package is preferred. This causes USE_BUILTIN.* to be correctly
set when one builtin.mk file includes another.
The second major change is teach the builtin.mk files to consider
files under ${LOCALBASE} to be from pkgsrc-controlled packages. Most
of the builtin.mk files test for the presence of built-in software by
checking for the existence of certain files, e.g. <pthread.h>, and we
now assume that if that file is under ${LOCALBASE}, then it must be
from pkgsrc. This modification is a nod toward LOCALBASE=/usr. The
exceptions to this new check are the X11 distribution packages, which
are handled specially as noted below.
The third major change is providing builtin.mk and version.mk files
for each of the X11 distribution packages in pkgsrc. The builtin.mk
file can detect whether the native X11 distribution is the same as
the one provided by pkgsrc, and the version.mk file computes the
version of the X11 distribution package, whether it's built-in or not.
The fourth major change is that the buildlink3.mk files for X11 packages
that install parts which are part of X11 distribution packages, e.g.
Xpm, Xcursor, etc., now use imake to query the X11 distribution for
whether the software is already provided by the X11 distribution.
This is more accurate than grepping for a symbol name in the imake
config files. Using imake required sprinkling various builtin-imake.mk
helper files into pkgsrc directories. These files are used as input
to imake since imake can't use stdin for that purpose.
The fifth major change is in how packages note that they use X11.
Instead of setting USE_X11, package Makefiles should now include
x11.buildlink3.mk instead. This causes the X11 package buildlink3
and builtin logic to be executed at the correct place for buildlink3.mk
and builtin.mk files that previously set USE_X11, and fixes packages
that relied on buildlink3.mk files to implicitly note that X11 is
needed. Package buildlink3.mk should also include x11.buildlink3.mk
when linking against the package libraries requires also linking
against the X11 libraries. Where it was obvious, redundant inclusions
of x11.buildlink3.mk have been removed.
* Fixed a bug that caused recording to stop or display incorrectly
after about 50 minutes on some Windows systems. (This was partly
fixed in Audacity 1.2.2, but still didn't work on some systems.)
* The Change Pitch and Change Tempo effects have been upgraded to
use a new version of the SoundTouch library by Olli Parviainen,
with better speed and higher quality.
* libsndfile has been upgraded to version 1.0.11.
* Fixed a bug that caused the program to run slowly when using the
Envelope tool.
* Shift-clicking on a mute or solo button now un-mutes (or un-solos)
all other tracks.
* Nyquist plug-ins can now accept strings as input. Also, a "Debug"
button has been added to Nyquist effect dialogs, which allows you
to see all of the output produced by Nyquist, for aid in debugging.
* When the audio file referenced ("aliased") by an Audacity project is
missing, Audacity will now always play silence. Before, Audacity
would sometimes repeat the most recent audio that was played previously.
* VU Meters will now always reset when audio I/O has stopped.
* Fixed a major Mac-only bug that was causing Audacity to crash at seemingly
random times, but especially during audio playback and recording.
* New or updated translations: Italian (it), Hungarian (hu),
Ukrainian (uk), Spanish (es). Polish (pl), Simplified Chinese (zh),
Norsk-Bokmal (nb), French (fr), Russian (ru).
