Audacity 1.0 is released! This is exciting for so many reasons. The two biggies:

• we can forget about the 1.0 branch now. The 1.1 branch is so much better that maintaining 1.0 was becoming a pain.
• a bunch of subprojects that we were putting off for the release are now progressing full speed ahead. The most exciting one is a split of the GUI and audio engine modules: this allows us to write rigorous tests to hammer at the audio engine code, as well as opening up the opportunity to implement alternate GUIs on top of libaudacity.

I finally have internet at home, which means I can do all the things I've been planning: a PortAudio implementation for JACK and/or ALSA, a media player for PicoGUI using gstreamer in Python, and who knows what else. Now that I have weekends the sky is the limit. Unfortunately I've gotten too used to working 10 and 11 hour days, so I don't have too much time during the week...
