Audacity audio editor and recorder 3.0.3 was released a few days ago. Finally it adds official Linux binary via Appimage.<\/p>\n

Audacity 3.0.3 comes with minor bug-fixes, and binary changes. For Windows users, now it provides 64-bit EXE and 32-bit plug-ins will not work<\/i> on the release. <\/p>\n

The release introduced automatic app update checking<\/b><\/i>. According to the updated Privacy Notice<\/a>, Audacity needs a network connection for update checking. And this shares your IP address, OS, and Audacity version. You can disable the feature in the Preferences<\/i>.<\/p>\n

And when an app error occurs, error report dialog will pop up asking you whether to send report.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

For Linux users, Audacity now provides Appimage<\/b> package. It’s a single executable that launches the software directly without installation required. Just right-click on file, add execute permission in “Properties” dialog, and finally run it.<\/p>\n

It’s also available to install via the universal Flatpak package<\/a> which runs in sandbox. And here’s how to guide<\/a> for those new to flatpak.<\/p>\n

About the Ubuntu PPA:<\/h4>\n

Audacity adds Conan package manager as the its new dependency library. It make me crazy again since it’s not available in Ubuntu repositories, and so far I can’t find any compile instruction. <\/p>\n

So may be it’s time to abandon my personal PPA for Audacity package. :)<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
