Update auf 2.03

Changes in v2.0.3:

    Clips did not drag to another track if mouse was over a selection.
    Mixer Board: Rendering four tracks resulted in a redundant Track Strip followed by a crash.
    Imports, Exports and Files
    Exporting to WAV or AIFF led to a "Libsndfile says" error or corrupted output due to order of metadata in imported files.

21 Oktober 2013: Audacity 2.0.5 Released

Audacity 2.0.5 replaces all previous versions. It fixes crashes or hangs that were reported in Audacity 2.0.4 on some machines, and contains many other bug fixes and stability improvements.

    (OS X) Crashes when importing audio files are fixed.
    (OS X) Files can now be opened using Finder "Open with", and by double-click or dragging to the Audacity icon.
    (OS X) Audio Unit plug-ins are not loaded until used. This makes Audacity start faster and avoids startup crashes due to incompatible plug-ins.
    (Windows) On a very few machines, the Windows WDM-KS low latency host caused Audacity 2.0.4 to hang or the computer to crash. WDM-KS has been removed from Audacity 2.0.5 while we work on safely enabling this host. WDM-KS will still be available for testing in the Windows alpha development builds.
    (Windows) Fixed a bug where Audacity would not record until the current input was reselected.
    (Linux) You can now navigate through an effect or other dialog using keyboard TAB.

update to 2.1.3

New features:

- Audacity 2.1.3 now properly supports Windows 10 (thanks to an upgrade of the PortAudio library) and on MacOS has some previously missing support for Magic Mouse/Trackpad (thanks to Paul Licameli).
- New Distortion effect, Rhythm Track (was called Click Track) and Sample Data Import (thanks to Steve Daulton). Also effects are no longer grayed-out when in pause.
- New scrub ruler and ‘pinned’ option so the waveform moves and the recording/playing head stays still. (Paul)
- New features in Timer Record (Mark Young & Steve)
- On Mac, audacity.app is now added to /Applications/ directly rather than adding a folder there.
- 64 bugs/annoyances in 2.1.2 fixed of which 15 were long-standing issues. Also lots done (Paul again) to systematically deal with memory leaks.
