Subject: Audacity 1.3.12 (Beta) released


The Audacity Team is pleased to announce the release of Audacity 1.3.12 (Beta) for Windows, Mac and Linux/Unix. There are some important bug fixes and improvements, especially for dragging and synchronization of labels.

We continue to recommend the ongoing Beta series for Windows 7, Windows Vista and Mac OS X 10.6, rather than 1.2. Advanced users are encouraged to test our subsequent changes as we make them by downloading our Nightly Builds:
http://wiki.audacityteam.org/index.php?title=Nightly_Builds

Please send all bug reports for 1.3.12 and Nightly Builds to our feedback address (http://audacity.sourceforge.net/contact/#feedback) informing us what operating system you are on.

Beta releases are still ongoing at present. If you are not already doing so, please subscribe at http://audacity.sourceforge.net/#announce to receive news of all our future releases.

Summary of Changes in 1.3.12:

Bug fixes for:

* Cutting or deleting a region in the waveform and label track did not move the labels in advance of the cut
* Incorrect behavior snapping to labels and boundaries with Snap To enabled
* Projects froze if files imported via On-Demand were no longer available
* (Windows 7) Clicking in a file open or save dialog caused files or folders to disappear from the list, and file filtering was broken
* Other import/export, effects and crash fixes

Changes and Improvements:

* A hover tooltip is now provided if the Mixer Toolbar input selector cannot control the system slider for the selected input
* More intuitive behavior when moving and resizing labels by dragging
* Export Multiple: new option to use a numerical prefix before existing label or track names
* New Equalization preset "Inverse RIAA", with new button to invert other curves
* New Preferences choice for "System" language which is used on first run instead of asking user to choose language

Note: This release supports Windows 98/ME, and we recommend users on those systems to upgrade from the previous 1.3.7 release.
To upgrade, download audacity-win-1.3.12.exe or audacity-win-1.3.12.zip from https://sourceforge.net/projects/audacity/files/
