Hi everyone!

Due to the near-unanimous results of a Mastodon poll,
https://fosstodon.org/@tenacity/113731514298404501, we are going to
rebase Tenacity off Audacity 3.7.1. this means Tenacity will inherit
the numerous features, improvements, and other enhancements that
Audacity made in the past few years.

In proceeding with this rebase, we are making this announcement because
the way you contribute will temporarily change. Pull requests will
still be accepted, but any PRs based on the 'main' branch will
temporarily NOT be accepted any longer. Instead, you must base your PR
against the 'audacity-3.7-rebase' branch. We're also asking all testers
of the latest git version to please switch to this branch as we will
not be actively developing against this branch until we merge the
rebase branch back into main.

To help contributors, past, present, and future, we'll also temporarily
set the default branch to 'audacity-3.7-rebase'. At least for new
contributors, this will get them started with the right branch. The
rebase branch will also feature branch protections, so you can be
assured that no force pushes will happen.

When we are ready, we will merge the 'audacity-3.7-rebase' branch into
the 'main' branch. The following criteria must be met, however:

- Get Audacity 3.7.1 source code working with our build system,
  updating either or both as needed.
- Remove networking features and error reporting.
- Re-add icons.
- Re-add themes.
- Fix program name where appropriate.
- Reimplement changes:
  - Reimplement native Matroska importing and exporting.
  - Reimplement the dynamic compressor.
  - Reimplement Haiku support.
  - Remove PortMixer support.
  - Re-enable RMS by default.
  - Re-enable cut, copy, and paste toolbar.
  - Rearrange track control panel layout.
  - Fix tooltips under Wayland.

See https://codeberg.org/tenacityteam/tenacity/pulls/527, the rebase
PR, for more details and updates on the rebase effort.

If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please reach out to
us ASAP.
