Hi David!
The release notes sound very exciting. There’s a lot of stuff there interesting
to blind users. Currently I haven’t got the time to check out the beta version
but I’m looking forward to playing around with the alpha release.
Cheers! Robbie

For those of you who are interested in testing a beta version of Audacity
2.2.0, this is a link to the portable version of the beta:

If you want this version of Audacity to use its own separate settings, then
after you have extracted the files, in the folder that contains Audacity.exe
create a folder with the name Portable Settings.
