+author: Leo Wattenberg
+description:  A lot of our work has been focused on getting Audacity ready for a version 4. As such, a lot of under-the-hood work has been happening - in technical terms - reducing dependency on wxWidgets, library extractions and general refactoring. This work will continue for the next few releases in parallel with feature development.

+A lot of our work has been focused on getting Audacity ready for a version 4. As such, a lot of under-the-hood work has been happening - in technical terms - reducing dependency on wxWidgets, library extractions and general refactoring. This work will continue for the next few releases in parallel with feature development.
+
+By and large Audacity 3.3 is a quiet update, with most of the work being done under the hood. Some noteworthy changes:
+
+* Some built-in effects are realtime capable now
+* A new **Shelf Filter** effect has been added, it’s in the EQ & Filters category
+* An initial (beta) version of a [beats and measures](https://support.audacityteam.org/music/aligning-music-to-beats-and-measures) feature has been added, you can enable it via View → Toolbars → Time Signature Toolbar (beta), then right-clicking the timeline to change to beats and measures, and then changing the snapping and time and selection toolbar clocks to a beats format.
+* A new vertical ruler (**Linear (dB)**) has been added, you can enable it by right-clicking on the vertical ruler.
+* **Project Rate** has been moved to the Audio Setup button → Audio Settings and renamed Project Sample Rate.
+
+More changes can be found in the changelog: [Audacity 3.3 – Audacity Support](https://support.audacityteam.org/additional-resources/changelog/audacity-3.3)

+title: Our new website
+author: Leo Wattenberg
+description:  audacityteam.org now has a new look!

+Hello everyone!
+
+This is a quick note to let you know we updated our website. Audacity itself will get a new look soon-ish as well, though that is a herculean task which is better measured in years than weeks.
+
+This new website no longer uses Wordpress, opting for a much more lightweight static site generator instead. Additionally, things have been slimmed down a bit. Old posts got [archived](https://archive.org/details/posts.audacity.WordPress.2023-09-11) and the page structure has been consolidated. If you encounter any issues or have suggestions for this website in particular, feel free to raise an issue [on Github](https://github.com/audacity/audacity.github.io/issues). 
+
+In the future, we want to translate this website into more languages, too. We'll let you know when we're opening up translations here. In the meantime, you can get involved in [translating Audacity](https://support.audacityteam.org/community/contributing/translating) if translation is your thing. If you'd rather help other users, you can do so in our [Forum](https://forum.audacityteam.org/) (which also has a new look as of earlier this year) or [on Discord](https://discord.gg/audacity).
+
+And that's it! Let us know what you think!
