The awesome free audio editor / recorder Audacity has been updated to version 1.3.7 for Windows, Mac and Linux.
This is primarily a bug-fix release, but with some new features too, like DirectSound device support for Windows.
Cross-Platform Bug Fixes:
Muting/soloing caused incorrect channel results in exported stereo files
Nyquist effects: pasted unmodified audio into the result, no progress bar, truncation of processed audio on cancel

Uncompressed exports:
Export as WAV could be corrupted if overwriting to same file
Export multiple to uncompressed formats only produced 16-bit WAV
