Improvements
* Waveform colorways
You can optionally change the colorway of the waveforms displayed in your
project.
The setting is per track and not per project so you can have multiple
colorways
in the same project.
* "Save Other" reverts to "Export" in the File menu
When we made the menu changes for 2.2.0 we introduced an entry into the File
menu
called "Save Other" which led to a sub-menu for exporting various audio
formats.
Many users were confused by this change and found it hard to find where they
could
export audio from. So for 2.2.1 we have changed that menu entry to be File >
Export.
