Status in audacity source package in Noble:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  [Impact]

  Audacity has had quite a few iterations since the version in Noble
  released, now up to 3.7.3.

  The following is from the changelog back to 3.4.2, which is quite
  extensive and includes many new features and enhancements:

  3.7.3
  Reverted deleting edges of clips being non-destructive due to a large range of unforeseen side-effects.
  - This fixes joining clips becoming offset
  - This fixes cutting always creating new clips
  - This fixes "detach at silences" and "truncate silences" creating a bunch of new clips
  3.7.2
  This is a patch release. It contains the following changes:
  - Fixed a crash when applying some effects across multiple tracks if one track is empty.
  - Fixed some crashes emenating from the Mixer window.
  - Returned the "Residue" option in noise reduction. (Thanks, Christopher Rooney!)
  - Modules are now allowed to stick around when patch releases like this one are published. This means you likely won't need to update the OpenVINO again during 3.7.x.
  - When adding a realtime effect to a track, the effect settings are now opened immediately.
  - Added an infobox when saving a project in a new version breaks compatibility with an old one.
  - Added a preference to turn off automatic tempo detection.
  - When duplicating tracks, the duplicated tracks now have independent realtime effect instances.
  - Fixed range-selection beyond the edge of a clip being destructive.
  - Improved stability of cloud saving.
  - Fixed pasting content from a clip at the beginning of itself being offset in time.
  - Fixed audacity continuing to scroll after letting go of the scrollbar.
  - Fixed black stripes appearing when zooming in while in the envelope or multi-tool.
  - Added a new "get effects" button next to the Upload Audio button.
  - Added UUID instance support.
  - Fixed label texts using the wrong color in dark themes. (Thanks, GovindaMadhava!)
  - Fixed tracks being incorrectly drawn on high zoom levels using high precision trackpads.
  - Fixed crossfading tracks on stretched clips.
  - You no longer need to click OK twice to exit the label editor in some edit states. (Thanks, Kurtsley!)
  - Playback quality is now the same as rendering quality by default.
  3.7.1
  This is a patch release. It fixes the following bugs:
  - Effects can be applied to time-stretched clips.
  - Moving or renaming the installation directory no longer re-enables disabled modules.
  - Opening the "Adjust Playback Speed" dialog doesn't crash Audacity anymore.
  3.7.0
  The 3.7.x series is primarily maintenance releases while we're working on Audacity 4.0. 3.7.0 fixes the following bugs:
  - Improved Linux compatibility.
  - Improved contrast in the light theme.
  - MP3 exports: Renamed "Insane" to "Excessive".
  - Improved non-standard character handling for cloud saving.
  - Renamed "Split cut/delete" to "Cut/delete and leave gap".
  - Pasting clips no longer moves clips on other tracks if "editing clips can move other clips" is enabled.
  - Fixed database compacting not working properly sometimes.
  - Improved startup speed on systems with many audio devices.
  - Multi view: Fixed the hitbox of the x being misaligned with the visuals. (Thanks, Kurtsley)
  - Adding, removing, replacing and reordering of effects now is undoable.
  - Closing a project upon turning a realtime effect stack on and off doesn't crash Audacity anymore.
  - Canceling a stereo track mid-operation no longer crashes Audacity.
  - Importing Opus files using libopus no longer shifts the audio data.
  - Changed the login flow for cloud uploads.

  3.6.0
  * Major changes:
  - Audacity now features master effects. Master effects are effects which apply to the entire project at once. More information can be found at Using master effects & realtime effects.
  - A new compressor and limiter has been added, replacing the previous versions. A gain reduction history has been added to these effects when they're used as a realtime effect.
  - Factory Presets suitable for a wide range of use cases for these effects have been provided by Vladislav Isaev and Marek Iwaszkiewicz, available via the Presets & Settings button.
  New themes:
  - Audacity now features new and improved dark and light themes. You can switch between themes via Preferences -> Interface. The theme previously used still is around as the Classic theme, and themes even older than that can be optionally installed as custom themes from here.
  - Audacity is now quite a bit snappier than before, especially when working on larger projects and on larger screens.
  * Other changes:
  - Added FFmpeg 7 support.
  - You now can paste audio files into Audacity using Ctrl+V.
  - Alternative waveform colors are now themeable by custom themes.
  - Removed the track name overlay preference and the "blend themes" preference.
  - Scripting: Added GetInfo: Type=Selection. (Thanks, Jonatã Bolzan Loss!)
  - Added an Extras > Export > Export Selected Audio option.
  - Import Raw: Added support for offsets larger than 2 GB.
  - Redesigned the "what's new" dialog.
  - Added an option to the View menu to show/hide RMS in waveforms.
  - OpenVINO AI effects can now be downloaded from audacityteam.org/download/openvino/
  * Bugfixes
  - When recording to a new track, the track is now scrolled back into view again.
  - The macro manager no longer shows parameterless actions as editable. (Thanks, Davi Nonnenmacher!)
  - Pressing Esc in some preference dialogs no longer saves them.
  - Fixed stray orange lines in the high contrast theme.
  - Fixed the quality slider for Ogg export on Linux. (Thanks, Devpriya Nalin!)
  - Fixed a bug which could open a project with the wrong sample rate.
  - Various compiler warning fixes and OpenBSD build fixes. (Thanks, Brad Smith!)
  3.5.1
  This is a hotfix release. It fixes the following bugs:
  - Fixed a crash on launch on macOS 11 and older.
  - Fixed the update notification looking for alpha versions instead of release versions.
  - Fixed a freeze when using macros on multiple files.
  3.5.0
  * Major features
  - We've introduced a new cloud-saving feature that allows you to save your Audacity projects to audio.com. This allows you to work from any device, share & collaborate with others and restore previous versions if something went wrong.
  - Audacity can now automatically detect the tempo of imported loops, and adjust them to be in tempo. Tempo detection is done via both audio analysis and metadata checking. If you want to prepare your loop for automatic tempo detection without relying on audio analysis, both acidizer tempo tags or simply writing "123 bpm" anywhere into the filename work. Automatic tempo detection can be turned off via Preferences -> Import/Export.
  - You now can non-destructively change the pitch of a clip by holding Alt and pressing the Up and Down arrow keys. Alternatively, you can click on the overflow menu (...) and select "Pitch and speed...". When changing the pitch this way, an arrow in the UI indicates how much you've shifted it. Additionally, the Pitch and speed dialog also features an option to optimize for voice which preserves formants.
  * Other changes
  - Added an option to skip plugin scanning to Preferences -> Effects.
  - Added an overflow menu, as well as speed and pitch indicators to clips.
  - Added subtitle formats for labels. Export to WebVTT and SubRip and import of SubRip files is now supported. (Thanks, Pokechu22 and Larry Bordowitz!)
  - Reworked the plugin manager. It's now simplified and filterable, and also has a search box.
  - Improved accessibility. (Thanks, David Bailes!)
  - When zooming in vertically (Ctrl+scroll on the vertical scale), the zeroline now remains centered. Moving the vertical zoom off-center still is possible via Shift+scroll on the vertical scale.
  - Changed the look of the selection adjust cursors (previously pointing fingers on Windows and macOS, now look like >| everywhere).
  - Changed the timeline options button from a green triangle to a settings gear. From it, you can switch between Beats & Measures or hh:mm:ss timeline rulers, set various preferences regarding to looping, as well as playhead behaviors: "Scroll view to playhead" (previously: "Update display while playing") and "Continuous scrolling" (previously: Pinned Play Head).
  - Reordered some menus.
  - Moved the OK/Cancel buttons of effects to the bottom.
  - There have been a number of removals of niche features to simplify the app. This should make Audacity  a bit less overwhelming to use, and also will speed up future development as fewer things need to be considered.
  - Removed the read-only mouse preferences page.
  - Removed Printing options.
  - Removed Screenshot tool.
  - Removed Karaoke view.
  - Removed the "solo=none" preference.
  - Removed timeline tooltips preference.
  - Removed "dragging selection edges" preference.
  - Removed some warning dialogs and associated preferences.
  - Removed "scrolling left of zero" preference.
  - Replaced "Advanced Vertical Zooming" with new always-on behavior.
  - Removed some vertical zoom presets.
  - Removed EQ XML to TXT converter, which was needed for the Audacity 2.3 -> 2.4 transition. It is now a plugin instead, downloadable at https://plugins.audacityteam.org/additional-resources/eq-curves/eq-xml-to-txt-converter.
  - Removed the "Vocal reduction and isolation" effect. As a replacement for Windows and Linux, the Intel OpenVINO plugins work better and on a wider array of content, including mono tracks. The old effect still can be downloaded from https://plugins.audacityteam.org/nyquist-plugins/effect-plugins/filters-and-eq#vocal-reduction-and-isolation
  * Bugfixes
  - Fixed a number of dialogs that were able to grow too large to fit on the screen.
  - Fixed the playback cursor sometimes desynchronizing with actual playback. (Thanks, David Bailes!)
  - Fixed the GetInfo scripting command.
  - Fixed "Reset configuration" command breaking modules preference page.
  - Fixed stereo tracks randomly splitting into mono.
  - The Export Audio -> (external program) option remembers the command line argument again.
  - Fixed the Compressor effect sometimes corrupting audio. (Thanks, David Bailes!)
  - Fixed Timer Record sometimes failing to export. (Thanks, David Bailes!)
  - Fixed incorrect level measurements for mono tracks in Noise Gate effect. (Thanks, Steve Daulton!)
  - When exporting multiple files, the mono/stereo setting is now honored properly.
  - Fixed some effects failing when language is set to German, Korean, Dutch, Slovenian, or Turkish.
  - Fixed 8 and 9 inputs not working on keyboard inputs which have AltGr+8/9 mean [ and ]. (Thanks, David Bailes!)
  - Fixed Audacity crashing when making a stereo track using keyboard. (Thanks, Joe Souza!)
  - Fixed the "Set default" button not working in the metadata editor. (Thanks, dg-no-9!)
  - Linux: Fixed a memory leak in Wayland by explicitly running on X11. (Thanks, Takahashi, Naoki!)

  - Fixed a crash when pasting 192k/24 bit audio.
  - Fixed a crash with AUMultibandCompressor.
  - Exporting stereo as mono now calculates volume correctly.
  - Exporting now can create folders within folders. (Thanks, Antonio!)

  [Scope]

  * Backport 3.7.3+dfsg1 from Plucky

  * Backport to Noble

  [Other Information]

  Builds in https://launchpad.net/~ubuntustudio-
  ppa/+archive/ubuntu/backports-staging. Changelog there does not
  include this bug number. And yes, it's a no-change backport from that
  to this. The "No-change backport to ${series}" terminology is added by
  the `backportpackage` command.

  Notice it fails to build in s390x on all series. This is expected.

  Already uploaded, just awaiting acceptance.
