- Update to 3.6.0
- Remove mod-script-pipe-disable-rpath.patch - no need anymore.
Major changes
* Master effects
- Audacity now features master effects. Master effects are effects
which apply to the entire project at once. More information can
be found at Using master effects & realtime effects.
* New compressor and limiter
- A new compressor and limiter has been added, replacing the
previous versions. A gain reduction history has been added to
these effects when they're used as a realtime effect.
- Factory Presets suitable for a wide range of use cases for these
effects have been provided by Vladislav Isaev and Marek Iwaszkiewicz,
available via the Presets & Settings button.
* New themes
- Audacity now features new and improved dark and light themes.
You can switch between themes via Preferences -> Interface.
- The theme previously used still is around as the Classic theme,
and themes even older than that can be optionally installed as
custom themes[1] from here[2].
Updated instructions on creating custom themes can be found here[3].

working on larger projects and on larger screens.
