List of significant changes and bug fixes going back to version 1.1.0
Changes in version 3.0.0:
Improvements
* Audacity now uses 'aup3' format, with all audio in one file, rather than
the previous 'pile of file' format. We are using the SQLite library to
manageis the contents of this file. Too many users were previously getting
caught out by copying part of the project only, when backing up.
* 'Backup Project' command replaces 'Save Lossless Copy of Project' and 'Save
Compressed Copy of Project'
* Added Corsican and Marathi languages.
* 'Label Sounds' replaces 'Sound Finder' and 'Silence Finder'.
* Added Import and Export of Macros.
* Added Attack, Hold and Delay times to Noise Gate.
* Added Multi-View option to Track Preferences
* Added hidden (bindable to shortcuts) commands for repeating last generator,
analyzer or tool. Previously only most recent effect could be repeated.
* Upgraded Nyquist to 3.16

3. Some Known Issues in 3.0.1:
For best workarounds and other known issues in 3.0.0, please see:
https://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Release_Notes_3.0.0/Issues
We have two significant bugs we would like help in tracking down:
1) Audacity may occasionally report "Failed to open the project
database". We don't think this is causing people to lose data.
2) Audacity may offer to 'recover' a project at start up, when
there is nothing to recover.
If there are repeatable steps to make these bugs happen, this
could help us track down what is causing them.
