What's new in this version:

Prominent changes:
- Added a new Effects button to the tracks menu, allowing you to place realtime effects
- Merged the mixer bar with the meter bars
- Added a new Audio Setup button, replacing the Device Toolbar by default. The device toolbar can be re-added via the View > Toolbars menu.
- The Effects menu has gotten a new sorting. Other sorting and grouping options can be found in the Effects preferences.
- Updated the icons

Plugin changes:
- VST3 effects are now supported
- The following plugin formats are now realtime capable: VST3, LV2, LADSPA, Audio Units
- Plugins now automatically get scanned, tested and enabled when Audacity starts

System changes:
- FFMPEG 5.0 (avformat 59) is now supported, in addition to avformat 55, 57 and 58
- Added support for Wavpack
- On Linux, Audacity can now be compiled without JACK present
- Audacity now uses XDG directories on Linux
- Note: If you are upgrading from a previous version, Audacity will keep using the ~/.audacity-data and ~/.audacity folders until you delete them
- Switched from mad to mpg123 as MP3 importer

License update:
- Audacity binaries are now licensed under the GNU General Public License, Version 3
- Most code files remain GPLv2-or-later, but VST3 support required this license update

Other changes:
- Removed the Zoom Tool. You can use the zoom buttons or Ctrl+Scroll (macOS: Cmd+Scroll) to zoom instead.

Fixed:
- Audacity sometimes not being able to import MP3 files (or reporting Huffman Data Overruns)
- rare data loss bug when placing labels during recording
- clip titles being able to disappear off-screen when editing them
- Punch and Roll not paying tracks in sync
- clip titles changing name when applying some effects
- During batch processing, Audacity will no longer stop to ask for a sample rate when an unsupported one is chosen, but choose the nearest supported one instead
