Audacity 3.0.3 introduces error reporting and update checking functionality July 27, 2021 https://www.ghacks.net/2021/07/27/a...-reporting-and-update-checking-functionality/
A question not related to the software itself: Are there any known issues when trying to register in the Audacity Forum with an e-mail address from hotmail.com? I never received the necessary activation link nor did I get a reply from the Board Administrator after contacting him via the form in the Forum. Quite annoying.
Audacity 3.0.4 Released (August 24, 2021) Release Notes Download Spoiler: Changes v3.0.4 This is a hotfix release that fixes a bug with envelope points, which could multiply uncontrollably and cause Audacity to crash. In particular: #1476: Envelope points are multiplied when using Filter Curve EQ or Graphic EQ #1477: Filter Curve EQ will crash if there is an envelope point outside of the selection This fix re-introduces an earlier, but way less destructive bug: bugzilla 208 / #1500: Some effects delete Envelope Control Points, or do not move them when timeline changes

Thanks for the warning This camp can be content to wait out awhile for it to become better suited again.
