    Download link:
    http://audacity.sourceforge.net/download .

    1.3.14 is now the only version that supports Windows 7, Windows Vista
    and Mac OS X 10.4 to 10.7. Please upgrade to 1.3.14 if you are using
    Audacity 1.2 on those systems. You can install Audacity Beta on the same computer as Audacity 1.2 if you install to different directories. If you are upgrading from a previous Beta release, you can install "over the top" into the same directory.

    Summary of Changes in 1.3.14:

    Bug fixes:
    * Fixes for data loss when encountering corrupted project files. Steps
    taken to prevent writing of overlong audio data block files.
    * Excessive delay occurred when typing into labels in long projects.
    * MP2 files could not be imported natively. File types requiring FFmpeg
    library imported as noise if FFmpeg was unavailable.
    * Crashes fixed when dragging tracks. Crash fixed when resetting
    Toolbars when an audio stream was present.
    * Plot Spectrum didn't preserve signal level if multiple tracks were
    analyzed.

    Changes and Improvements:
    * Normalize now preserves left-right balance in stereo tracks by
    default with an option to normalize stereo channels independently.
    * Spectrograms now allow window sizes up to 32768 and frequencies
    up to half the sample rate (the maximum possible).
    * Mix and Render now preserves clip length by not rendering white
    space before the start of audio, and preserves audio before time zero.
    * CleanSpeech Mode has been removed from Preferences but can be
    run or disabled in 1.3.14 by changing Preferences in a previous
    Audacity version.
    * (OS X) Added support for AudioUnit MusicEffects (but no MIDI support).
