- It seems like Tenacity is getting more attention in recent days. Why that is, I'm not sure, but it's great to see it getting more traction! (I say this as a current maintainer! :D)
In recent times, Tenacity 1.4 alpha 1 was released! This is the culmination of a months-long rebase effort off Audacity 3.7.5, bringing features like realtime effects, non-destructive pitch shifting and stretching, beats and bars support, and plenty of others. Of course, there's no telemetry either, including cloud integration too.
Keep in mind that this is an alpha release, so we're still working on the final 1.4 release and are still a good deal away from it. For example, one of the most notable things missing at the moment are our themes, but those will return in 1.4 alpha 2 as I'm working on a brand new theme system to address the limitations of the current theme system. I intentionally did not reimplement our themes again because I was tired of dealing with the theme system we inherited, and this has been in the work for several years now. We should be close to fruition, but I'm performing some refactoring first before I continue on :)
Meanwhile, we're also working on an unplanned 1.3.5 release. It was originally intended to be a rebuild of 1.3.4 (which I'll explain when 1.3.5 is released), but it's going to include a fix for a spectrogram crash, Windows dark mode support, fixes for recent compilers, and a new Windows on ARM build! I also plan to get macOS builds back again, but I don't have a Mac to test things on. I know macOS builds are currently packaged incorrectly, and I'm currently trying to figure that out. If anyone wants to test out the latest 1.3.5 builds, you can here: https://nightly.link/tenacityteam/tenacity/workflows/cmake_b.... All in all, you can think of 1.3.5 as, at this point, having a few 1.4 alpha 1 backports, kind of like how 1.3.4 had a few pre-rebase 1.4 backports.
Anyways, I'm glad to see some interest in Tenacity. If anyone wants to contribute, feel free to come over to https://codeberg.org/tenacityteam/tenacity and contribute in anyway you can! We also have a manual that needs to be (re)written (for 1.4) here: https://codeberg.org/tenacityteam/tenacity-manual. Finally, you can also contribute to our Weblate here: https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/tenacity. However you contribute, we will wholeheartedly accept it! Thanks in advance too! :D
by gpers0n - I'm having difficulty building it on Artix (an arch derivative).
This is probably some sort of issue with the way part of wxwindows was built on my distribution. I'd love it, of course, if anyone has had the same problem and a solution or any ideas about what to do. I will see if it's possible to rebuild some more recent wxwindows or to change its build options to include type info.[ 63%] Linking CXX executable ../RelWithDebInfo/tenacity /usr/bin/ld: /tmp/lto-llvm-3894d5.o: (.data.rel.ro._ZTI21ListNavigationEnabledI8wxWindowE[_ZTI21ListNavigationEnabledI8wxWindowE]+0x10): undefined reference to `typeinfo for wxNavigationEnabled<wxWindow>'by t43562 - I dropped audacity because of the audacious cloud crap in an application I view as Notepad for wav files
Tenacity has been pretty nice
- I like this more https://www.ocenaudio.com/features
- If you're curious about the legacy link being a 404, the correct link seems to be that: https://tenacityaudio.org/legacy/legacy.html
(found sniffing around https://codeberg.org/tenacityteam/tenacityaudio.org , this 404 was reported on IRC)
by evgpbfhnr - Audacity had a 5 year plan on removing technical debt and overhauling the UI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QYM3TWf_G38 (1 hour long video)
Will this be merged into Tenacity or are they going further apart?
