Jump to bottom
Avery King edited this page Jun 27, 2022 · 10 revisions

Saucedacity 1.2 is the latest development release of Saucedacity. It will have the following features:

  1. Drop the 'IsSaucedacity' preference. This was...kind of useless anyways. [Done]
  2. Add a new theme to Saucedacity. This is based on Audacity's default theme. (Audacity's theme will still be kept). [In Progress]
  3. Bug fixes (namely #22) and removal of old obsolete code [In Progress]
  4. Some reworks to separate our logic (e.g. audio processing) code from any reliance on wxWidgets.

1It was planned to rebase off of Audacity 3.0.5, but this ultimately didn't happen.

2This includes a (cherry-picked) fix from Audacity 3.0.5, fixing an issue with possible data loss.

macOS Warning

  • This version of Saucedacity has a known issue that has already been fixed in Audacity 3.0.5 (our upstream counterpart) that could cause project corruption on macOS (see this issue for more info). This issue has unfortunately been given a lower priority since we lack the resources/manpower for macOS development.

    It is planned to merge this fix into Saucedacity. Windows and Linux users are unaffected. This issue had already been fix (or should be).

  • This will be the first release of Saucedacity that will be guaranteed to build on macOS thanks to a renewed interest in GitHub Actions. **It is not guaranteed that Saucedacity will run properly. This is a start in getting macOS support underway, although further progress on macOS will be halted by the continued fact that we lack access to any Mac hardware to test Saucedacity on.

    • Should you test Saucedacity on macOS, keep in mind that OS X 10.9 to OS X 10.11 are not believed to be supported. The minimum macOS SDK was raised to 10.12 due to the use of uncaught_exceptions in lib-exceptions (where OS X 10.9-10.11 lack a proper definition in their standard libraries).

Build Changes

  • We can now build AppImages for Linux, but it appears that they don't work.
  • Windows installers will now be provided in addition to zip files
  • macOS Intel binaries are available. In the future, we might test Apple Silicon builds.
