- The ability to save projects in the audio.com cloud service has been added, which allows you to work with a project from any device, exchange projects, organize collaboration and restore previous versions in case of loss of information on the local system.
- The ability to automatically determine the tempo of imported cyclic recordings (loop) and adjust it has been implemented. Both audio analysis and metadata information are used to determine tempo. Automatic tempo detection can be disabled in the settings “Preferences -> Import/Export”.

- Added support for exporting tags in files with subtitles in WebVTT and SubRip formats, as well as importing in SubRip format.
- A setting has been added to the “Preferences -> Effects” section to disable plugin scanning.
- A context menu is implemented for clips, as well as speed and pitch indicators.
- The plugin manager has been redesigned.
- Improved support for BSD systems.
- Rearranged elements in some menus.
- Removed mouse settings, printing options, screenshot tool, karaoke mode, tooltip settings, voice removal effect (it is recommended to use the better working OpenVINO plugin) and EQ XML to TXT converter.
