Personally I think it would be better for Audacity to have a separate analyzer. This way it could provide more information in one plug-in (Example: Loudness, RMS, max / min peaks, DC-offset, bit-depth, ...)

Big +1 for that suggestion Steve,

Peter.

Issue: when tracks are added by drag-and-drop, they always go to the bottom of the stack. Suggestion: When an existing track is selected, incoming drag-and-drop tracks are inserted immediately underneath that track. We have just modified the "Mix and Render" feature so that mixed tracks a...

Peter.

Is this the version that will have the data and aup files combined into one file?

No.

That is the version that will come later this year - if all goes according to plan

You might want to try setting the Tracks preference to make track names show on the Tracks - set Show audio track name as overlay to be on. See: https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/tracks_preferences.html It won't show the file extension - but you can always include the file type as part of you file...
