Talk:Nyquist Plug-in Packs and Legacy Plug-ins

Gale 28Jul11: Thanks for starting this, Steve. Not sure I can see much point in the 1.2 / 1.3 bundles. To be useful, the Beta pack would have to be maintained for the current version. May be better just to link to the current zip downloads for Audacity in case people have corrupted other parts of their installation too?

Steve 28Jul11: Maintaining the current versions is not much work as the Nyquist plug-ins are rarely updated (that's why I wrote 1.3.x rather than 1.3.13). I discovered that it is remarkably easy to accidentally loose one or more of the standard plug-ins when playing with Nyquist plug-ins, and the plug-ins only ZIP file is likely to be about 1000x smaller than the full version of Audacity (also, googlecode is blocked for many educational establishments in the UK). After the release of 2.0 I was planning to leave the 1.2.5 and the last 1.3.x versions in the "Old and Obsolete" section (which might be better titled "Legacy"). The 1.2.5 bundle contains a couple of plug-ins that are not in 1.2.6, but otherwise seems to be the same.
