3.0.2 Plan

Audacity 3.0.2 is likely to be a maintenance release for possible issues found with 3.0.0 and the not-released 3.0.1, and done quickly.

Bugfixes will happen during 3.0.2.

  • Likely no other user visible features
  • Likely safe changes only, e.g build/cmake improvements (if these changes fail, they fail visibly at compile time).
  • Details of what is allowed in to be decided by RM.

Changes to the manual, github docs (build instructions) and scripts may happen.

Requests to the RM for 3.0.2

This is a place for requests to the RM for bugs held over from3.0.0 for 3.0.2:

  • Done.png P3 2524 - Macros "Cancel" button is confusing - doesn't do "what it says on the tin"
  • ToDo.png P2 2676 - Import Export: Incorrect handling over 0 dB
  • ToDo.png For 3.0.1 Peter: Proposal: Rationalizing where new tracks are created to aid usability and consistency - we had bugs for part of this but closed them in favor of this proposal
    • This encompasses the following bugs:
    • P3 ENH 2219 - ENH: Add new track places the track at the bottom of the project - should be under user control
    • P3 ENH 2220 - ENH: Duplicate command places the duplicate track(s) at the bottom of the project -not under the selected track(s)
      • We already sorted these cousin bugs:
      • Done.png P2 2214 - Rendering a single track unnecessarily moves the track to project bottom
      • Done.png P3 2422 - Append Recording always scrolls vertically to bottom track
  • ToDo.png P3 498 - Enh: Yellow snap guidelines lost after saving in high resolution selection format
  • ToDo.png P3 2672 - Plug-ins listed in reverse alphabetic order in Plug-ins Manager
  • ToDo.png P3 2678 - Source will not build if path contains a space character
  • ToDo.png P3 2680 - Scale for Spectrogram changed unexpectedly
  • ToDo.png P4 2683 - Join clips can create spurious envelope points

Planned Release Announcement Text

Audacity 3.0.3 replaces all previous versions.

  • yada yada yada.

Full details at New Features in 3.0.2

RM's list

  • Patches to wxWidgets need to be better documented. What is each patch for? Need to be applied to our GitHub copy of wxWidgets too.
    • Update workarounds for wxWidgets page, and track any reports back via wxWidgets Trac.
    • Linux ASSERT Issues Not addressed yet to a safe level. We need code to guarantee we are building with patched wxWidgets under linux, I think.
    • Pulse Audio issue leads to plan to keep sound card steams open. Not suitable for 3.0.257
  • Build instructions on Wiki must be brought up to date.


So is the Manual Release Ready?

This page lists pages that refer to 'ToDo-1' in the manual.

  • Manual team now maintain a div with the manual status on it on the front page.
  • Manual team also maintain a Clean-up Plan for dealing with P1s and critical P2s


So is the Code Release Ready?

This query shows us possibly problematic P1 and P2 bugs right now. If there is a P1 in there, the answer is 'NO'. The P2s need closer examination, and RM may decide that one or more of them block release, even at the last moment. The PXs (if any) might possibly be P1s - so we need to know about them.

Bugs Addressed in this Release

There are lots of tables here with information about work done on bugs for this version.

These bugs and fixes probably won't be reported on individually. However we should report on the P2s that we have fixed and summarise the general trend.

Updated in this Release

These are bugs which we knew about before we started on this version, and have updated, and that are now DEVEL-FIXED or better. Often that will mean we DEVEL-FIXed them for this release.
