Saucedacity 1.2 Beta 2

UPDATE: Note about Windows binaries
These binaries come from CI, and they are built as release binaries if I recall correctly. Either way, what's contained in the ZIP files attached below are not only installers but also ZIP files, just like back in the old days! Therefore, if you want a more portable version of Saucedacity, you can use the ZIP provided.

The original update goes as follows:

--

The second beta of Saucedacity 1.2 is here! With each commit we are getting closer to releasing a stable 1.2. We hope to get there soon!

There have been a couple of things since beta 1, and we've received some notice from others. We've seen some notice from some over at Tenacity, which if you guys are unaware of, go check them out! However, I think some of you guys are quite familiar 😉. With that said, I would like to thank you guys for the interest. Given I (generic-pers0n) am the sole contributor for now, I appreciate you guys stopping bye! 😄

Anyways, now for the all-familiar changelog in comparison to beta 1:

Changelog

New

• We are now using Tenacity's libmad in place of Audacity's. Tenacity's libmad uses CMake and fixes several security issues to upstream libmad. This is in addition
  • This is progress towards making Saucedacity build without Conan on Windows and Linux.

Fixed

• FFmpeg exporting now works again. We pulled lib-ffmpeg-support from Audacity 3.0.5 to get it up and working. Now we plan to pull a more updated version now that we got that started.

Unresolved (Still)

• The track view still gets cut off (#20). This is still a bummer ☹️

Status of macOS Builds

From our beta 1 discussion, it appears that the macOS builds do not run. For the final release, macOS builds will not be published unless they are fixed by then. (Right now, they no longer build because of our switch to Tenacity's libmad, which I'll try to fix at one point).

Notes on Use

If you want to use Saucedacity for lightweight use (e.g. to test or do simple recordings), Saucedacity should be relatively stable. Any hardcore work, however, you should wait until Saucedacity 1.2 is released. This is namely because of #20 (the track view gets cut off and progressively gets worse).

Thanks and Appreciation

It appears that we've had some increased visibility after beta 1. Notably, we've had a few from Tenacity come over here. To them, I'd like to say thanks for stopping by and checking us out! The interest is what motivates me to work on Saucedacity because I know that some care about the project. In other words, I know that I'm not alone in this project. I know that some are also interested to see where this project goes too. I'm also eager to see where this project goes too, and so far, we've been non-stop. Overall, let's see what we can do together! But more importantly, thanks to all who've stopped by! 😄 :ta

Saucedacity is getting better and better, really thanks to you guys 🎉
