The Audacity team has released an updated version of the popular opern source audio editing application. Audacity 1.3.5 beta packs a bunch of minor updates, including bug fixes better file handling, and some interface improvements. Here are some of the things that jumped out at us:

• Hit Shift while clicking record to start a recording at the end of an existing track
• Users should see fewer invalid sample rate problems under LInux
• Updated versions of the Portaudio, Libogg, LIbvorbis, and other libraries
• More informative dialogs when dealing with unsupported file formats
• New keyboard shortcuts

Audacity is already one of the best free audio editing applications for Mac, Linux, and Windows, and the program just keeps getting better.
