3.0.0 Plan

Audacity 3.0.0 is for Unitary Project (aka 'UP') .aup3 file format. This will use SQLite to store 'the database' with a project's xml and blockfiles all in one file. We are deliberately using SQLite as a smart filing system, its primary role, rather than as a fine grained database.

Bugfixes will also happen during 3.0.0.

  • No other user visible features
  • No other refactoring.

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

Release Process has a checklist showing progress close to release at a finer granularity.


Requests to the RM

This is a place for requests to the RM for this release:

  • 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:
      • P2 2214 - Rendering a single track unnecessarily moves the track to project bottom
      • P3 2422 - Append Recording always scrolls vertically to bottom track
  • Done.png Peter: P2 Bug 266 - Set track Sample Format lacks progress dialog
  • Done.png Peter: Import/Export for Macros P2 Bug 2296
  • Done.png Peter: P1 Bug 208 - Some effects (including EQ effects) delete Envelope Control Points, or do not move them when timeline changes - an oldie but goldie
  • Done.png Peter: P2 Bug 2487 - Playback meters do not respond during preview of non-real-time effect - This just looks BAD


  • ToDo.png Review/Improve build instructions on all platforms. <--
    • ToDo.png Windows
    • ToDo.png Linux
    • ToDo.png Mac

Planned Release Announcement Text

Audacity 3.0.0 replaces all previous versions.

  • yada yada yada.

Full details at New Features in 3.0.0


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 3.0.0
  • 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.

Notes that are relevant to next release.

  • WIBN stands for 'Wouldn't It Be Nice'
Bulb icon We are often overoptimistic about what can be achieved for the next release. The WIBN lists are things we thought might make it to the next release.

This is current status/plan:

  • WDM-KS out (considering a module, but not for 3.0.0 as it needs work on test support)
