Revision as of 16:01, 17 July 2006

This list should only be modified by subscribers to Audacity-devel mailing list.

• To understand what this Checklist is for and how it is used, please join that list or read the list archives on sourceforge.
• Following a suggestion by Jeroen, this list has been put on the wiki and the 'Done' items separated from the items that are still to do.

These all for a release candidate start September, and actual release start of November.

This is a companion list to the Documentation Checklist

Essential fixes

Essential changes

For progress on help, see Online help outline. Assistance in getting the help together would be much appreciated.

• Update Help.
• details for this section may be moving to Documentation Checklist
• Incorporate experience from user groups / Audacity Forum into help.
• Update download manger info on web site.
• Update Translations

These are other changes to source code that are deemed 'essential'

• Crash recovery - keep record of blockfile changes and assemble project from that.
• Provide help-link on prefs panel.
• Provide 'Unrecognised Audio File Format' dialog with help-link button for more detail.
• Warn on close-tracks-and-exit, will lose those unsaved tracks.
• Warn when using tracks-by-reference rather than by-copy.
• Ensure ID3 tag dialog available for subsequent MP3 exports.
• Preferences option to solve the 'greying out' of effects confusion.
• For Mac OS X, build a universal binary, or at least an Intel-Mac version
• Batch: Stereo and all-export/import-formats supported
• Batch: Solve Markus' issue.
• Batch: *chain* configuration NOT in preferences.
• Batch: Pre-defined chains in a list rather than via buttons.
• Batch: Better naming of preference parameters.
• 'Hidden features' via registry/ini file.
  • Hide/disable CleanSpeech (contact Lynn?)
  • Hide/disable FTP (contact Wing Yu?)
  • Hide/disable Theme Prefs (James already contacted)
  •  ??Hide/disable 'Advanced Mixing' [to be discussed....]??

Aim to

• Make selection bar floating. (using slightly less ambitious variant of trial version)
• All keyboard shortcuts changable.
• Restore split to new track, and smarter re-use of existing tracks with split and duplicate.
• Radio button for initial language choice.
• Split at labels to do so with end-to-end labels too.
• All Fx dialogs using ShuttleGui.
• Ruler to use same units as selected in selection bar.
• wxListCtrl-version of label track.
• Select input source on Mac
• Greater consistency of '...' in History list.
• Font height correction/adjustment in Label Track for Cyrillic chars.
• Play/rec sync in portaudio v19 for Windows
• Snap-to option that does nearest vertical crossing (left-to-right-rising), enabled by default.
• Discuss test harnesses. Possibly write some more test code.
• Springclean docs in root directory, e.g. buglist.txt - update or delete.
• Max zoom - Ruler/track highlighting out of sync.
• Max zoom - samples starting before left edge of track aren't plotted while samples extending past right edge are.
• Max zoom - possible error while plotting negative values.
• Mouse cursor doesn't change when it should if keyboard is used.
• Add preference setting for label track font and possibly fonts in general.

Aim to release at same time

• The new Nyquist plug ins.
• Separate zip of LADSPA plug ins.

Not aiming for for 1.4.0

• Portmixer to support multiple hosts (for DirectSound).
• DirectSound playback (lower latency)
• DirectSound Gui support.
• Two sample alternative themes. [Themeability prefs will be disabled in stable 1.4 release and release candidate, only available in unstable builds.]
• Labels to move with WaveTrack edits rather than be at fixed times.
• Dominic's pipe-based scripting. [Could lift this into the aim-to list. It depends on status of the code developed so far. We could perhaps use it in test harness, if it is already nearly there.]
• Modeless Fx dialogs. Realtime Fx. [Could not produce stable for 1.4.0 version in the timescale.]
• Vary selection boundaries during loop play, and have sound respond. [This is a small step in real time Fx]
• Audacity on USB (aka Portable Audacity) - mainly avoid using registry.
• Rework Fx dialogs to use spin boxes.
• Scroller for LADSPA effects dialogs.
• Reduce area/width of selection bar.
• Merging of change-pitch-speed Fx.

Totally unsure...

• Remove VST support
• Add FFTW library
• Move Fx copyright lower (accessibility) (leave for later if others ask about it)
