The Audacity team is pleased to announce the release today of  <http://audacityteam.org/download> Audacity 2.1.1 

*	The most visible new feature is  <http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/scrubbing_and_seeking.html> scrubbing and seeking , including backwards play. Updates to  <http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/timeline.html#tqp> Quick-Play also help with finding a precise position in the audio.
*	You can now install plug-ins without restarting Audacity or add and remove any effect or generator from the menus.
*	Over 50 bugs have been addressed with this release. Edits are now processed much faster in longer projects of a few hours duration.
*	Effects now have presets. A new Limiter replaces the Hard Limiter effect. There's a new version of Vocal Removal, a cross-fade effect for combining clips on the same track and 'classic filters' available as an opt-in effect.

There's also been lots of work behind the scenes, including VI usability enhancements and upgrade to new libraries. Fuller details on the changes since 2.1.0 can be found in the  <http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Release_Notes_2.1.1.html> 2.1.1 Release Notes.


Huge thanks to everyone who has worked on this release in whatever way to make it possible.

The Audacity Team.
