Waveform missing

I am running OS X 10.10.3 Yosemite. I updated Audacity to from version 2.0.6 to 2.1.0 but found that when opening a music file with the new version, the waveform is missing - a progress bar indicates opening of the file but the waveform window remains grey. I rolled back to Audacity 2.0.6 and now it’s working fine again. Does anyone has an idea why I cannot see the waveform with Audacity 2.1.0 ?

Is it an M4A/MP4 or other Apple format? If so, it’s a bug in 2.1.0 but you can add FFmpeg to your computer to work around it. See Audacity 2.1.0: FFmpeg required for MP4/M4A/MOV/ALAC import.
