Audacity 2.3.1 replaces all previous versions for Windows, macOS and Linux. Support for Linux which was missing in 2.3.0 has been restored. Also Audacity for macOS is now a more modern 64-bit build.

Over 20 bugs fixed, and a few small improvements/changes to features (since 2.3.0).

That message from Apple saying: "32-bit support will be going the way of the dodo", no longer shows when you install Audacity on Mac. The new 64-bit Audacity works with 64-bit libraries. To use FFmpeg or MP3 libraries with 64-bit Audacity, you will need to download the updated 64-bit versions.

On Windows, you may find that recording is disabled until you change Windows permissions for the microphone! That's a security feature introduced by Windows. This affects all versions of Audacity, and affects many other audio programs.

New:

• Options and preferences:
  • Microfades are now an opt-in feature. They were always on in 2.3.0.
  • The advanced vertical zooming option is now available in the View->Zoom menu.
• Regular interval labels now support range labels.

See: 2.3.1 New Features for longer descriptions and links on how to use the new features.

Bug Fixes:

Over 20 bugs that were in 2.3.0 fixed, including:

• A crashing bug on Linux that made Audacity 2.3.0. unsuitable for Linux.
• Crash on Mac when right clicking on label.
• Problems with Change Pitch, including not remembering parameter values.
