Re: [Audacity-quality] Status of 1.2.6

[Peter S. <pet...@ya...>]

My 2c worth.

+1  -  and I'd also like to see 1.3 placed above 1.2 on the Forum index page.

I have been using 1.3.12 and 1.3.13 Alphas on both my XP machines for a while 
now and find them far superior on XP to 1.2 - more stable, more functionally 
rich, better documented.  I have not even encountered the moonphase bug, whereby 
timed recordings extend beyond the pre-set termination time, for a long while 
now.  And 1.3.13-RC3 finally restored the functional use of the output slider 
for me.

Apart from any other consideration, steering people from 1.2.6 to 1.3.13 should 
make for fewer people who unwittingly "lose" their projects with the "faster" 
import setting in their preferences - as with 1.3.13 they will get the new 
"warning message" withe the pre-set to "safer". I've just had to deal with yet 
another one of these on the 1.2 Forum this morning.

Subject: [Audacity-quality] Status of 1.2.6

Mainly for Gale...

On the download page I'd like, sometime before 2.0, to also be 
relegating 1.2 Series to 'legacy status' along with 1.0.0.  We've been 
chipping away at the barriers to adopting 1.3.x for a long long time, 
and other than Bug 137, I am now unclear as to what the advantages of 
1.2.6 are.  1.2 can't be relegated while there are strong reasons why we 
would recommend it over 1.3.x for XP.  What are the top three remaining 
reasons?    Thanks.

--James.
