Package: audacity
Version: 1.3.12-6
Severity: normal


I tagged this as "normal" and not "wishlist", because the upgrade would fix bugs.

Audacity 1.3.14 was released yesterday, and this is a request for you to
package it. 

Advantages of the new version are:

= bugs fixed: =

* Fixes for data loss when encountering corrupted project files. Steps 
     taken to prevent writing of overlong audio data block files.
* Excessive delay occurred when typing into labels in long projects.
* MP2 files could not be imported natively. File types requiring FFmpeg 
     library imported as noise if FFmpeg was unavailable.
* Crashes fixed when dragging tracks. Crash fixed when resetting 
     Toolbars when an audio stream was present.
* Plot Spectrum didn't preserve signal level if multiple tracks were 
     analyzed.

= new features: =
* Normalize now preserves left-right balance in stereo tracks by 
     default with an option to normalize stereo channels independently.
* Spectrograms now allow window sizes up to 32768 and frequencies
     up to half the sample rate (the maximum possible).
* Mix and Render now preserves clip length by not rendering white 
     space before the start of audio, and preserves audio before time zero.

Thank you very much for the great work you've been doing in packaging audacity!
