## Supported Platforms

**Windows**

* Audacity 3.7 is tested on Windows 10 & 11
  * Windows Vista, 7 and 8.1 may still work, but are no longer tested. We are not actively supporting these versions anymore, but still accept patches which improve compatibility with these versions.

**macOS / Mac OS X**

* Audacity 3.7 is tested on macOS 14
  * Older macOS versions down to OS X 10.9 may still work, but is no longer tested. We are not actively supporting OSX versions anymore, but still accept patches which improve compatibility with these versions.
  * The Universal Binary may not work on various OSX versions. Use the Intel (x86\_64) installer instead.

**Linux**

* Linux support is tested with AppImages on Ubuntu 24.04.
  * Other Linux distributions should work, but aren't tested by the Audacity team.
  * On some distributions, `libfuse2` needs to be installed for AppImages to work. See <https://github.com/AppImage/AppImageKit/wiki/FUSE> for more information.
  * Community-maintained distro-specific versions and other repackages (such as Flatpak) are often available, too.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://support.audacityteam.org/additional-resources/changelog/audacity-3.7.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
