    Autosave the project during recording (#12539) Resolves: #12377 Two issues involved: - During recording Audacity 4 never called for autosave - During recording autosave there is a possible data race if the sequences being serialized are modified on the audio thread.

    Fix project corruption caused by removing empty clips on load (#12544) Resolves: project corruption when one sample clip is saved in the project Before the fix an empty clip (one sample long) was removed before creating a saved state, and its sample were removed from the sample block table, while the saved project document still referenced it.

    CI: call the framework's macOS notarize script instead of a copy (#12549) Part of audacity/audacity#12137. Audacity's \`buildscripts/ci/macos/notarize.sh\` is a verbatim copy of the framework's; the copyright line is the only difference. Delete it and call \`muse/buildscripts/ci/macos/notarize.sh\` instead, the way the other shared CI scripts are called. The macOS job already checks out the submodule. Notarization only runs when \`DO_NOTARIZE\` is set, so a PR build does not exercise this step; the first real run is the next build that notarizes. AI assistance: Claude Code 2.1.304 (see the \`Assisted-by:\` trailer). <!-- Use "x" to fill the checkboxes below like [x] --> - [x] I signed [CLA](https://www.audacityteam.org/cla/) - [x] This PR includes AI assistance - [x] If the PR is AI-assisted, I have read, understood and complied with the [guidelines for AI-assisted contributions](https://github.com/audacity/audacity/blob/master/AI_POLICY.md) - [x] The title of the pull request describes an issue it addresses - [x] If changes are extensive, then there is a sequence of easily reviewable commits - [x] Each commit's message describes its purpose and effects - [x] There are no behavior changes unnecessary for the stated purpose of the PR Recommended: - [x] Each commit compiles and runs on my machine without known undesirable changes of behavior

    Call the framework's macOS notarize script instead of a copy buildscripts/ci/macos/notarize.sh was identical to muse/buildscripts/ci/macos/notarize.sh apart from the copyright line. Delete it and call the framework's, as the other shared CI scripts are. Assisted-by: Claude Code 2.1.304

    CI: use the same build mode names as MuseScore (#12541) Resolves: https://github.com/audacity/audacity/issues/12538 Rename the CI build modes from `devel_build` / `nightly_build` / `testing_build` / `stable_build` to `devel` / `nightly` / `testing` / `stable`, matching MuseScore and muse_framework. No change to what gets built. Builds started by hand now take `stable` instead of `stable_build`. <!-- Use "x" to fill the checkboxes below like [x] --> - [x] I signed [CLA](https://www.audacityteam.org/cla/) - [x] This PR includes AI assistance - [x] If the PR is AI-assisted, I have read, understood and complied with the [guidelines for AI-assisted contributions](https://github.com/audacity/audacity/blob/master/AI_POLICY.md) - [x] The title of the pull request describes an issue it addresses - [x] If changes are extensive, then there is a sequence of easily reviewable commits - [x] Each commit's message describes its purpose and effects - [x] There are no behavior changes unnecessary for the stated purpose of the PR Recommended: - [ ] Each commit compiles and runs on my machine without known undesirable changes of behavior

  • Paul MARTIN(20 Oct 26)

    Use the same build mode names as MuseScore in CI Audacity wrote devel_build/nightly_build/testing_build/stable_build to build_mode.env, while MuseScore and muse_framework dropped the suffix in 2024. Use devel/nightly/testing/stable so the build scripts can be shared without translating the value. Builds started by hand now take `stable` instead of `stable_build`.
