Saucedacity 1.0 Released!

[generic-pers0n]

A new fork has entered the battle of a lifetime. Here, we come bursting on the scene with a Great Purge of networking features previously implemented to do harm, but we aim to be more than that. In fact, we've already removed more than that.

With the little introduction of telemetry in Audacity, along with the added CLA for contributions, the Community was upset. A couple of forks emerged, and this includes us. No CLA, no telemetry, no networking, just audiophile goodness.

Saucedacity is currently compatible with Audacity, albeit you might need to change some directories (namely ~/.Saucedacity-data instead of ~/.Audacity-data).

Below is only the Linux 64-bit release, compiled on Pop!_OS 21.04. Unfortunately, I was unable to build Windows binaries as there are some missing libraries that have to be fulfilled. If you want to build release binaries for Windows (either x64 or x86), feel free to visit #4 and maybe share the binaries also.

Also, as I don't have access to a Mac, I can't build Mac binaries. Therefore, I don't have any Mac binaries to distribute. However, like with the Windows binaries, if you have built binaries, feel free to open an issue and we'll talk about distributing them there.

Anyways, on to the changelog.

Changelog

New

Nothing new.

Changed

• Branding from Audacity was changed to Saucedacity. However, as we don't have any official logos yet, old Audacity branding is still used. If you would like to make a logo for us, feel free to open an issue and we'll be happy to go over it.

• Contributions are no longer bound by a CLA, so you can contribute with confidence.

  • psst! I don't like owning everything, so we won't have a CLA anytime soon!

Removed

• Remove any networking features (including telemetry). If there are any remnants of those features, feel free to make an issue about it and it'll be removed as soon as possible. Or, feel free to fix it yourself by making a contribution!
