Easy configuration reset
A new command has been added to the Help menu: .
This resets your Audacity configuration, preferences, export settings and toolbars, to default settings.

User presets in Effects, Generators and Analyzers are left untouched, as are any Macros you may have created and plug-ins.

MP3 exports without padding
MP3s are now exported from Audacity with no padded (unwanted) short silence at the beginning and end of the MP3.
