There wasn’t much fanfare around its release because it’s a patch release, but at least one of the fixes in this release is significant if you use Audacity on an M1 or M2 Mac like I do.

The main issue most have with the change is the vague and overarching wording, especially within the legal enforcement section. They list the personal data they collect as, “Data necessary for law enforcement, litigation and authorities’ requests (if any)” without any limitations. The new owners break down the two main types of data they collect including data for analytics and for legal enforcement. The analytics are limited to more specific information including the OS version, CPU, user country (based on IP), and error codes.
It includes new data collection provisions and users are not happy, 9to5 Mac reported. However, new owners update the app’s privacy notice on July 2.
Audacity has been very popular free audio software for a long while.
