Audacity doesn't host FFmpeg or LAME anywhere, as you know. 

AAC export using FFmpeg 2.2.2 on Mac will have certain problems 
but efforts will continue today to find the most recommendable 
build for Mac. 

Naturally Audacity can't be responsible for the advertisement policies of 
any external sites that we may recommend as a possible source of
LAME or FFmpeg. 

I have now posted some information about FFmpeg 2.2.2 in the
private board for Forum Crew, so please have a look there.

We've been in GUI/string freeze for about 48 hours.

I'm very happy to see several translations have come in (6, I think). 
Are any translators planning to offer further updates? (And I know Min 
Zhang has a pending question, so that will probably mean another revision.)

Manual Authors, please let me know when that's all ready, too.

Looking for when I can declare code/manual freeze (step 9 at 
http://vjohnson.users.sourceforge.net/Audacity_2.0.6_release_agenda.pdf).

Thanks!

- Vaughan
