Audacity 1.3 has hundreds of new features, but some features may be incomplete or confusing, it is more likely to crash, and you are more likely to lose data. You can install both Audacity 1.2 and 1.3 on the same machine, if you install them to different directories.
Audacity 1.3 is available in many languages, but most translations are incomplete. Words and phrases which have not been translated yet will appear in English.
