The biggest new feature of the Audacity 2.1.3 update appears to be support for the Windows 10 operating system, but it also looks like it improves Magic Mouse horizontal scroll and trackpad pinch support for macOS users. As for the new features implemented in Audacity 2.1.3, we can mention the Scrub Ruler and Scrub Toolbar scrubbing options, the latter being disabled by default, a Distortion effect as a replacement for Leveller, and a new generator for Sample Data Import.
