Waveform colorways

You can optionally change the colorway of the waveforms displayed in your project. The setting is per track and not per project so you can have multiple colorways in the same project as in the image below.

Four colorways are available with the color selection made from the dropdown menu in the track's Track Control Panel.

Bug Fixes

Release 2.21 is mainly a maintenance release as soon after the release of 2.2.0 we discovered some problematical bugs in Audacity running on macOS operating systems:

• Bug #1767 - Opening a second project from Mac's Finder produces a second inaccessible instance of Audacity
• Bug #1770 - Crash applying certain chain files

Bug #1771 - Audacity 2.2.0 DMG not recognized - needs to be fixed

Plus this one that affected all platforms:

• Bug #1765 - Using File > Open to import audio gives wrong zoom level and no scroll bar slider
