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.

description: audacityteam.org now has a new look!

Hello everyone!
This is a quick note to let you know we updated our website. As part of that, we have also updated the logo ever so slightly. Audacity itself will get a new look soon-ish as well, but unlike this website, that is a herculean task which is better measured in years than weeks.
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.
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 check out [our transifex](LINK!) if you'd like to translate Audacity itself.
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).
Let us know what you think in our (also recently upgraded!) [Forum](https://forum.audacityteam.org/...) or [on Discord](https://discord.gg/audacity).

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!
