# New features in Audacity 2.2.1

**This page is an overview of the key new functionality that has been introduced in Audacity 2.2.1**

* Details of all the major changes since 2.2.0 can be found in [Audacity 2.2.1](/au3/additional-resources/changelog/older-versions/audacity-2.x/audacity-2.2.0/audacity-2.2.1.md).
* 2.2.1 is a very light release, basically a maintenance release, [see below](https://github.com/audacity/audacity-support/blob/main/additional-resources/changelog/older-versions/audacity-2.x/audacity-2.2.0/audacity-2.2.1/broken-reference/README.md) with one new exciting feature added. Plus we wanted to experiment with shorter release cycles.

### Waveform colorways

You can optionally change the colorway of the waveforms displayed in your project. The setting is per track and not per project so you can have multiple colorways in the same project as in the image below.

Four colorways are available with the color selection made from the [dropdown menu](http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/audio_track_dropdown_menu.html) in the track's [Track Control Panel](http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/track_control_panel_and_vertical_scale.html).

### "Save Other" reverts to "Export" in the File menu

When we made the menu changes for 2.2.0 we introduced an entry into the File menu called "Save Other" which led to a sub-menu for exporting various audio formats.

Many users were confused by this change and found it hard to find where they could export audio from. So for 2.2.1 we have changed that menu entry to be **File > Export**.

### Bug Fixes

Release 2.2.1 is mainly a maintenance release. Soon after the release of 2.2.0 we discovered some problematical bugs in Audacity:

* [Bug #1767](http://bugzilla.audacityteam.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1767) - Opening a second project from Mac's Finder produces a second inaccessible instance of Audacity
* [Bug #1770](http://bugzilla.audacityteam.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1770) - Crash applying certain chain files
* [Bug #1783](http://bugzilla.audacityteam.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1783) - Preview fails when selection extends before zero
* [Bug #1787](https://bugzilla.audacityteam.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1787) - Auto-scroll stopped working in 2.2.0
* [Bug #1765](http://bugzilla.audacityteam.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1765) - Using **File > Open** to import audio gives wrong zoom level and no scroll bar slider

## 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/au3/additional-resources/changelog/older-versions/audacity-2.x/audacity-2.2.0/audacity-2.2.1/new-features-in-audacity-2.2.1.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.
