Audacity 1.1.3 is out!

Audacity, for anyone unfamiliar with the project, is a freeware audio editor. It already has much of the functionality of such programs as Wavelab, SoundForge and CoolEdit, but offers the added advantage of not wanting an arm and leg in exchange. Version 1.1.3 is the latest beta (version 1.0.0 was the last "stable" version), and the official word is that the next release should be a full, stable replacement.

Known issues in Audacity 1.1.3:
  - It places a file called "Audacity-Commands.xml" in your home directory
    or somewhere else on your computer.  This file is necessary for
    Audacity 1.1.3 to run.  We apologize for cluttering up your computer
    and promise to put the file in a nicer place in the next version.

New features in Audacity 1.1.3:
  * User Interface
    - New Mixer toolbar allows you to control the output
      volume, input volume, and input source directly
      from Audacity.
    - Every track now has its own gain and pan controls.

  * File I/O
    - Uses improved project file format.  (Unfortunately reading
      previous formats, including 1.1.1, is not supported.)
    - Block files (stored in Audacity project directories) now
      use the standard AU format.  Though some Audacity
      meta-information is in these files, they can now be
      read by many other popular audio programs as well.
    - Fixed some bugs relating to reading/writing audio
      files with more than 16 bits per sample.
    - Import RAW is functional again, with a simpler GUI
      but support for far more file formats.  The
      autodetection algorithms are much more accurate than
      in 1.0.

  * Audio I/O
    - Completely rewritten audio I/O, with lower latency
      and minimal chance of buffer underruns while
      recording.

  * Resampling
    - Using high quality resampling algorithms, with the
      option of better quality for mixing than for real-time
      playback

    - Preliminary support for Time Tracks, for changing
      playback speed over time.

  * Many more bug fixes and new features
    - M.

I wonder if the algorithms they're using are the SSRC ones...
