Changelog

mkvmerge: new feature: implemented support for reading teletext subtitles from MPEG transport streams. They're converted to SRT-style subtitles (CodecID S_TEXT/UTF8). Implements #773.
mkvmerge: bug fix: probing MPEG transport streams with certain types of broken MPEG-2 inside caused mkvmerge to exit with an error message. Such tracks are now ignored instead.
mkvmerge, mmg's chapter editor: fixed the default value for the »language« element if it isn't present in a chapter XML file.
MKVToolNix GUI: implemented drag & drop in the files pane.
mkvinfo (Qt version on Windows): bug fix: the console window is closed if the GUI is launched.
mkvmerge: bug fix: Reading tracks from MPEG transport streams resulted in the track being cut off at points with a five minute gap in between frames. It is due to timecode wrap detection introduced in v6.9.0. As it affects subtitles the most the wrap detection has been relaxed for them.
MKVToolNix GUI: implemented drag & drop in the track pane.
mkvmerge: new feature: added support for PCM in MPEG program streams (.vob – DVDs) and transport streams (.ts, .m2ts – Blu-rays). Implements #763.
MKVToolNix GUI: fixed missing command line switch for audio sync/stretch.
MKVToolNix GUI: implemented drag & drop in the job queue.
MKVToolNix GUI: implemented storing the job queue when the application exits and retrieving it when it starts again.
Installer: bug fix: the shortcut for the GUI preview on the desktop is removed upon uninstallation. If the user opts not to have shortcuts on the desktop then no shortcut is created for the GUI preview either.
MKVToolNix GUI: fixed clearing the file/track/attachment lists when starting a new config or when loading an existing one.
MKVToolNix GUI: implemented setting the output file name automatically in four different modes (don't set at all; place in previous output directory; place in fixed output directory; place in parent directory of first source file) with an option to make them unique by appending a running number.
MKVToolNix GUI: implemented setting the file title automatically from added files that already have a title.

Changelog

mkvmerge: bug fix: mkvmerge was sometimes dropping lines from teletext subtitles read from MPEG transport streams.
mkvmerge: bug fix: The PCM packetizer was producing wrong track statistics by disregarding the last packet's duration when reading PCM data from packaged sources (Matroska, MP4 files).
build system: enhancement: configure will look for a system version of the pugixml library and use that instead of the bundled version if it is found.
mkvextract: bug fix for chapter & tag extraction: If locale is set to a non-UTF locale (including C or POSIX) then no XML data was output at all even if the XML data contained ASCII characters only. This also fixes mkvextract writing two BOMs when extracting tags with the »--redirect-output« option on Windows.
mkvinfo: bug fix: summary mode: reported frame types in block groups are now derived from the number of references found and not by the references' values.
mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed muxing open GOPs after I frames in MPEG-1/2 video (patch by Stefan Pöschel)
mmg: bug fix: VP9 video tracks are accepted in WebM mode.
mkvmerge: bug fix: Cherry-picked several commits from DivX'
mkvmerge fork for improved HEVC handling.
all: new feature: added a Catalan translation of the programs
mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed the handling of Big Endian PCM tracks read from MP4 files.

Changelog

mkvmerge: bug fix: If the target drive is full then a nicer error message is output instead of simply crashing due to an uncaught exception
mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed reading MPEG transport streams in which all PATs and/or PMTs have CRC errors. Fixes #1100
all: bug fix: Re-wrote the whole checksum calculation code. This lead to a fix for the Adler32 checksum algorithm that was triggered under certain circumstances. Adler32 is used in mkvinfo's output (e.g. in summary mode or if checksums are activated), in the h.265/HEVC bitstream and TrueAudio TTA) file headers
mkvmerge: bug fix: fixed handling of HE-AACv2 with object type parametric stereo«
mkvmerge: new feature: implemented support for MP4 DASH files. Implements #1038
mkvmerge: new feature: implemented reading MPEG-H p2/HEVC video tracks from MP4 files. Implements #996
mkvinfo: bug fix: track statistics: the duration (and therefore the estimated bitrate) was wrong for files in which the frame with the maximum timecode wasn't the last frame in the file. Fixes 1092
mkvmerge: new feature: implemented support for AAC in LOAS/LATM multiplex if read from MPEG transport streams or raw LOAS/LATM AAC files. Implements #877 and fixes the underlying issue in #832
build system: libEBML and libMatroska have been changed to provide pkg-config configuration files. Therefore MKVToolNix' build system has been switched to look for both libraries via pkg-config
all: bug fix: several fixes have gone into libEBML and libMatroska that prevent illegal memory access (both reading from and writing to unallocated addresses). The bugs #1089 and #1096 have thus been fixed
build system: libMatroska v1.4.2 is now required as part of a fix for #1096
build system: libEBML v1.3.1 is now required as a part of a fix for #1089
mkvinfo: bug fix: mkvinfo will abort with a proper error message if the first element found is not an EBML head element. See #1089
all: enhancement: improved exception messages that can occur when reading damaged Matroska files to make it clearer for the user what's happening. See #1089
mkvmerge: new feature: Added support for reading h.265/HEVC video tracks from MPEG transport streams. Implements #995
mkvinfo: bug fix: Timecodes output with ms resolution are now rounded to ms instead of simply cut off. Fixes #1093

Changelog

* Released v7.6.0.

2015-02-03  Moritz Bunkus  <moritz@bunkus.org>

        * all programs: bug fix: Since release 7.0.0 the wrong exit code
        was used when warnings were finished (0 instead of 1). Fixes
        #1101.

2015-02-02  Moritz Bunkus  <moritz@bunkus.org>

        * mkvmerge: bug fix: Appending chapters with the same chapter UID
        was dropping all sub-chapters from the one of the two merged
        chapters. Now the sub-chapters are merged recursively as well.

        * mkvmerge: bug fix: The wrong Codec ID was written when reading
        PCM tracks from Matroska files in Big Endian byte order. Fixes
        #1113.

2015-01-23  Moritz Bunkus  <moritz@bunkus.org>

        * all: new feature: added a Serbian (Latin) translation of the
        programs by Danko (see AUTHORS).

2015-01-17  Moritz Bunkus  <moritz@bunkus.org>

        * mkvmerge: bug fix: If splitting was active and AC3 tracks read
        from Matroska files were shorter than a split point then the
        following output file would contain an AC3 packet with the
        timecode of 00:00:00 somewhere in the middle. Fixes #1104.

2015-01-14  Moritz Bunkus  <moritz@bunkus.org>

        * mmg: bug fix: If a chapter track from a Matroska file is
        selected then the »language« drop-down box is disabled. Fixes
        #1105.

2015-01-05  Moritz Bunkus  <moritz@bunkus.org>

        * mkvmerge: bug fix: On Windows the end-of-file-reached status
        wasn't tracked correctly for certain file operations. This
        could manifest in e.g. mkvmerge not finding tracks in MPEG
        transport streams when probing MPLS playlist files. Fixes #1100.

        * mmg: bug fix: When scanning for play lists the window presenting
        the results listed some properties in an unescaped way (e.g. »\s«
        instead of spaces).

        * mmg: bug fix: When adding MPLS files mmg was only offering to
        scan for more playlists if there were at least two additional MPLS
        files present. This has been fixed to one MPLS file (in addition
        to the one just added).

source code: Fixed the compilation on cygwin.
2015-02-27 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
documentation: The Dutch, Ukrainian and Chinese (Simplified) manual pages have contained only untranslated English strings since release 7.0.0. This was due to the files holding the translatable strings having being corrupted by a misbehaving tool in the build process. This has been rectified. Fixes #1134,
2015-02-25 Mats Peterson <matsp888@yahoo.com>
mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed reading all of the private codec data in AVIs from the ‘strf’ chunk for codecs that don’t set biSize to include that data. Fixes #1129.
mkvextract: bug fix: Fixed writing AVIs with ckSize fields that were too large. Fixes #1128.
2015-02-25 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
mmg: new feature: added a button »toggle all« that enables or disables all tracks. It at least one track is currently disabled then all tracks are enabled when pressing that button. Otherwise (if all tracks are currently enabled) then they will all be disabled. Implements #1130.
mmg: new feature: added a new checkbox »reduce to audio core« on the »format-specific options« tab that passes the new –reduce-to-core option to mkvmerge if enabled. Part of the implementation of #1107.
mkvmerge: bug fix: fixed determining the key frame status in certain AVIs (those whose dwFlags index field has more bits set than just 0x10).
build system: new feature: added configure options for building statically-linked binaries (–enable-static). Patches by Florent Thiéry. Implements #1119.
mkvextract: new feature: implemented a mode for extracting cue information.

2015-02-23 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed recognition of E-AC3 audio tracks in MPEG transport streams if they use the type ID 0xa1 (and the same for DTS tracks stored with type ID 0xa2). Fixes #1126.
mkvextract: bug fix: Fixed VobSubs being written to the wrong directory if the output file name given by the user didn’t have an extension but one of the directories contained a dot. Fixes #1124.
mkvpropedit, mmg’s header editor: bug fix: if updating the file required creating an EBML void for a 130 bytes long gap then the void element created was one byte too short resulting in an invalid file structure. Fixes #1121.
mkvmerge: bug fix: If the MP4 track headers for MP3 tracks contain invalid values (number of channels is 0 or the sampling rate is 0) then mkvmerge will re-derive these parameters from the MP3 bitstream instead of ignoring that track.
2015-02-18 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
mkvmerge: bug fix: Matroska reader: track-specific tags weren’t copied for tracks for which the pass-through packetizer was used (e.g. those with the codec ID A_MS/ACM) instead of a specialized one.
2015-02-14 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
mkvmerge: enhancement: The code for determining the time codes of AAC, AC3, DTS, MP3 and TrueHD packets has been completely rewritten. This improves how timecodes are kept if the source container provides them in many cases.
mkvmerge: removal: AAC: The hack for using the old codec IDs (e.g. A_AAC/MPEG4/LC/SBR) for AAC tracks has been removed. Those codec IDs have been deprecated for nearly ten years. Reading files that use those IDs will stay supported.
mkvmerge: removal: TrueHD: The hack for merging a sync frame and all following normal frames into a single Matroska packet has been removed as there are no players that can play such merged frames anyway.
2015-02-12 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
mkvmerge: new feature: Added an option »–reduce-to-core« that tells mkvmerge not to copy HD extensions for DTS tracks. Part of the implementation of #1107.
mkvmerge: new feature: mkvmerge will now recognize TrueHD tracks inside MPEG transport streams that contain an AC3 core as consisting of two tracks. Instead of always dropping the AC3 part the user can simply select which tracks to keep. Part of the implementation of #1107.
2015-02-10 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
mkvmerge: new feature: mkvmerge will now recognize TrueHD+AC3 files as consisting of two tracks. Instead of always dropping the AC3 part the user can simply select which tracks to keep. Part of the implementation of #1107.

        not to remove the last chapter entry from a Blu-ray play list file
        which mkvmerge normally does if that entry's timecode is within
        five seconds of the movie's end. Implements #1226.

        * MKVToolNix GUI: fixed updating the number of pending jobs info
        in the status bar when manually starting jobs. Fixes #1236.

        whole queue.

        * MKVToolNix GUI: merge tool bug fix: the default settings for the
        »output directory policy« was changed to »same directory as the
        first input file«. Fixes #1234.

2015-06-04  Moritz Bunkus  <moritz@bunkus.org>

        * MKVToolNix GUI: enhancement: the following dialogs can now be
        maximized: the »preferences« dialog; the »additional command line
        options« dialog; the dialog showing the command line; the dialog
        where the user selects the play list to add. Implements #1231.

        * MKVToolNix GUI: merge tool enhancement: pressing delete when the
        source files view is focused will cause the selected source files
        to be removed. Implements #1225.

        * MKVToolNix GUI: merge tool enhancement: implemented toggling of
        »mux this« for all selected tracks by either double-clicking on
        the tracks or pressing enter/return when the tracks view is
        currently focused. Implements #1225.

        * MKVToolNix GUI: job queue enhancement: added a menu entry for
        starting all jobs pending manual start. Implements #1228.

        * MKVToolNix GUI: enhancement: the text in all message box dialogs
        can now be selected & copied, even on Windows. Implements #1230.

        * all: the detection whether or not the applications are installed
        on Windows is done by checking for the presence of a special file
        in the program folder instead of checking for an entry in the
        registry written by the installer. This enables users to try new
        portable versions without having to uninstall an installed version
        first as their settings will be kept separate now. A side effect
        is that compatibility with Windows XP should be restored.

        Implements #1229.

2015-06-02  Moritz Bunkus  <moritz@bunkus.org>

        * MKVToolNix GUI: bug fix: on Windows the job queue was
        accidentally always saved to and loaded from the registry even if
        the portable version was used.

        * MKVToolNix GUI: job queue bug fix: fixed accidental duplication
        of lines when using drag & drop in certain ways. Fixes #1221.

2015-06-01  Moritz Bunkus  <moritz@bunkus.org>

        * MKVToolNix GUI: bug fix: if a job is running when the user wants
        to quit requires confirmation from the user that the running job
        should be aborted. Fixes #1219.

        * MKVToolNix GUI: bug fix: fixed the initial status display when
        viewing a job's output from the queue.

        * MKVToolNix GUI: bug fix: running jobs cannot be removed from the
        job queue anymore. Fixes #1220.

        * MKVToolNix GUI: bug fix: when starting the GUI old jobs from the
        queue were silently discarded if they included additional parts
        (e.g. VOBs).

        * MKVToolNix GUI: bug fix: job queue: when saving the job queue
        jobs removed in the GUI were not removed from the stored settings.

        * MKVToolNix GUI: bug fix: when viewing the job output of a job
        that hasn't been run yet the »save output« button was enabled.

        leading to a crash in the Base 64 decoder. Fixes #1222.

2015-05-31  Moritz Bunkus  <moritz@bunkus.org>

        * MKVToolNix GUI: bug fix: fixed progress parsing for interface
        languages other than English.

        * mkvmerge: enhancement: if running in GUI mode (parameter
        »--gui-mode«) then the progress will be output as the untranslated
        »#GUI#progress …%« in order to facilitate parsing of progress by
        GUIs.

        * mkvmerge: bug fix: fixed key frame designation for video tracks
        in MP4 DASH files.

2015-05-30  Moritz Bunkus  <moritz@bunkus.org>

        * mkvmerge: bug fix: the track statistics tags of Matroska source
        files are always discarded, no matter whether or not they're to be
        created for the output file. That way they won't be reported as
        track tags by mkvmerge's identification mode. This makes it easier
        for the user to create output files without track statistics tags
        as (s)he only has to use the option
        »--disable-track-statistics-tags« and not disable all the track
        tags as well anymore. Fixes #1186.

        * mkvmerge, mkvinfo, mkvextract: bug fix: fixed a crash with
        certain types of invalid Matroska files. Fix for #1183.

2015-05-26  Moritz Bunkus  <moritz@bunkus.org>

        the tool selector at the bottom. Fixes #1194.

        the warnings/errors produced for the job shown. Implements #1210
        and is the last part of the implementation of #1196.

        * MKVToolNix GUI: merge tool: the »save« button has been removed
        in favor of the »save…« menu entries. This also improves
        consistency with the other tools.

        * MKVToolNix GUI: enhancement: header editor: made the meaning of
        the »Reset« button clearer with a better label and an additional
        tool tip. Implements #1212.

        been implemented yet (extraction, info and the tag editor) are not
        shown anymore.

        * MKVToolNix GUI: bug fix: header editor: fixed the track language
        shown if the element is not present in the file.

        * MKVToolNix GUI: bug fix: when browsing the output file name the
        currently entered file name is pre-selected in the dialog. Fixes
        #1207.

        * MKVToolNix GUI: enhancement: the update check dialog showing the
        change log can now be maximized. Implements #1204.

        * MKVToolNix GUI: new feature: implemented viewing the output of
        any job in the job queue.

        * MKVToolNix GUI: new feature: implemented saving the job output
        to a file.

        * MKVToolNix GUI: enhancement: the entry »Undefined (und)« is
        always shown at the top of the language drop-down boxes. Part of
        the implementation of #1200.

        * MKVToolNix GUI: enhancement: the number of new warnings and
        errors are shown in the status bar. Both counters can be
        acknowledged via context menus on the status bar and in the job
        queue view. Part of the implementation of #1199.

2015-05-24  Moritz Bunkus  <moritz@bunkus.org>

        * MKVToolNix GUI: enhancement: the number of jobs pending
        automatic/manual execution is listed in the status bar. Part of
        the implementation of #1199.

        * MKVToolNix GUI: enhancement: the progress widget in the stats
        bar is not reset to 0 once all the jobs have been processed in
        order to signal the user that the jobs have actually been
        processed. Part of the implementation of #1198.

        * MKVToolNix GUI: merge tool enhancement: a short animation of a
        moving icon is shown when a job is started or added to the job
        queue as a clue to the user what's happening and where to look for
        output. This animation can be disabled in the preferences.
        Implements #1198.

2015-05-18  Moritz Bunkus  <moritz@bunkus.org>

        * MKVToolNix GUI: job output bug fix: fixed superfluous empty
        lines in job output/warning/error output.

        * MKVToolNix GUI: merge tool bug fix: when adding a VOB from a DVD
        the tree items for the additional parts (the other VOBs processed
        automatically) weren't shown.

2015-05-11  Moritz Bunkus  <moritz@bunkus.org>

        * MKVToolNix GUI: merge tool: fixed the scroll bar not
        disappearing in the input tab if the window is high enough. Fixes
        #1193.

        * MKVToolNix GUI: chapter editor enhancements: when selecting a
        chapter the the chapter name closest to the previously selected
        chapter name (or the first if there wasn't a previously selected
        one) is selected automatically.

        * MKVToolNix GUI: chapter editor enhancements: when starting a new
        file a single edition and a single chapter are added automatically.

        * MKVToolNix GUI: merge tool enhancement: the »add files« button

        tool tips will be shown for the files, tracks, attachments and
        jobs views telling the user to right-click for adding files and

        chapter editors: if no file is open then »new« and »open file«
        buttons are shown.

        * build system: desktop files and icons were only installed if
        wxWidgets was enabled. Fixes #1188.

        * man pages: clarify functionality of --default-duration. Fixes
        #1191.

        * build system: bug fix: fixed running rake if no locale or one

        the output of the currently running job is shown

        way of toggling the »mux this« state of entries, same as the drop
        down box on the right and as double-clicking on the
        item already did. Implements #1277.

        * MKVToolNix GUI: merge tool bug fix: when appending files with
        multiple tracks of a type (e.g. multiple audio tracks) then all
        tracks of that kind would get assigned to the first track of that

2015-08-14  Moritz Bunkus  <moritz@bunkus.org>

        * MKVToolNix GUI: enhancement: the number of running jobs is shown
        in the status bar. Implements #1381.

        * MKVToolNix GUI: new job queue feature: added a context menu for
        force-starting selected jobs. This allows for running more than
        one job at the same time. Implements #1395.

        * MKVToolNix GUI: new merge tool feature: added an option for
        automatically setting the »default track« flag to »no« for all
        subtitle tracks when they're added. Implements #1339.

2015-08-12  Moritz Bunkus  <moritz@bunkus.org>

        * MKVToolNix GUI: new merge tool feature: dragging & dropping
        files onto line edit controls that expect file names (e.g. the
        »chapter file« control) will set that line edit's text to the
        dropped file name. Implements #1344.

        * mkvmerge: bug fix: track statistics tags can be kept with the
        option »--engage keep_track_statistics_tags«. This allows
        outputting them in verbose identification mode for easier
        parsing. Fixes #1351.

2015-08-11  Moritz Bunkus  <moritz@bunkus.org>

        * MKVToolNix GUI: new feature: jobs in the queue can now be edited
        again. For that they're re-opened in the corresponding tool and
        removed from the queue. Implements #1296.

        * build system: stack protection is enabled when building with gcc
        on all platforms. For Windows DEP and ASLR is enabled. Implements
        #1370.

2015-08-09  Moritz Bunkus  <moritz@bunkus.org>

        * build system: the Boost detection macros were updated from
        www.gnu.org resulting in better compatibility with bare-bones
        shells like dash.

        * MKVToolNix GUI: enhancement: the format of the setting and queue
        files has been changed from INI style to JSON documents. Reading
        older setting files in INI style remains supported, but saving
        will convert them to JSON.

        Together with the other three changes mentioned below this results
        in a noticeable reduction in the time needed for writing the queue
        files, e.g. when pressing »start muxing« or when quitting the
        application.

        * MKVToolNix GUI: enhancement: the way the job queue is stored has
        been changed. Earlier all jobs were stored in the same file (or
        registry on Windows) as the preferences. Now they're stored in a
        sub directory called »jobQueue« with one file per queue entry.

        * MKVToolNix GUI: enhancement: on Windows the preferences are not
        stored in the registry anymore, not even if the application has
        been installed. Instead they're stored in an INI file in the
        user's AppData\Local directory tree.

        * MKVToolNix GUI: enhancement: the number of times the queue files
        are saved has been reduced. The queue files are also loaded only
        once on startup, not twice.

        * MKVToolNix GUI: bug fix: fixed various crashes when dragging &
        dropping in all of the tree views (merge tool: files view, tracks
        view, attachments view; chapter editor: edition/chapter tree,
        chapter name list; job queue). Fixes #1365.

2015-08-08  Moritz Bunkus  <moritz@bunkus.org>

        * MKVToolNix GUI: enhancement: if an instance is already running
        when the application is started a second time then the GUI
        requests that the already-running instance will be
        activated. Implements #1379.

        * MKVToolNix GUI: new feature: added an option in the preferences
        for automatically switching to the job output tool whenever the
        user starts a job (e.g. by pressing »start muxing«). Implements
        #1376.

        * MKVToolNix GUI: new job output and job queue feature: added a
        function for opening the output folder. Implements #1342.

        * MKVToolNix GUI: new job output tool feature: added a way to
        clear the output, warnings and errors views. Implements #1356.

        * MKVToolNix GUI: merge tool bug fix: attachments: sometimes
        changing values didn't apply the changes to all selected
        attachments depending on how they were selected. Fixes #1373.

        * MKVToolNix GUI: merge tool bug fix: the automatically suggested
        description for new jobs contained the file name twice, even in
        the directory portion. Fixes #1378.

        * MKVToolNix GUI: merge tool bug fix: if »set output file name
        automatically« is enabled then file names ending with a number in
        parenthesis (e.g. »Berlin (1962).mkv«) will keep their number in
        the generated output file name. Fixes #1375.

        * MKVToolNix GUI: merge tool bug fix: the GUI will keep manual
        changes to the output file name even if »set output file name
        automatically« is enabled. Fixes #1372.

        * MKVToolNix GUI: bug fix: fixed the stereoscopy drop down box not
        being re-translated when the GUI language is changed. Fixes #1224.

2015-07-22  Moritz Bunkus  <moritz@bunkus.org>

        * MKVToolNix GUI: chapter editor bug fix: it was possible to drop
        chapter entries on the top-level reserved for editions. Fixes
        #1369.

2015-07-21  Moritz Bunkus  <moritz@bunkus.org>

        * MKVToolNix GUI: Windows: if the application has been installed
        then its settings will no longer be saved in the registry but in
        an INI file in the user's data application folder
        (e.g. C:\Users\mbunkus\AppData\Local\bunkus.org\mkvtoolnix-gui).

2015-07-20  Moritz Bunkus  <moritz@bunkus.org>

        * MKVToolNix GUI: merge tool enhancement: added »Simple OGM-style
        chapter files (*.txt)« to the file selection dialog when selecting
        a chapter file. Implements #1269.

2015-07-18  Moritz Bunkus  <moritz@bunkus.org>

        * MKVToolNix GUI: bug fix: fixed compilation when building without
        curl support. Fixes #1359.

Changelog

* Released v8.4.0.

        * MKVToolNix GUI: chapter editor bug fix: whenever the additional
        modification of »expanding start/end timecodes to include the
        minimum/maximum timecodes of their children« was run on an edition
        entry then ChapterTimeStart and sometimes ChapterTimeEnd nodes
        were inserted as direct children of the EditionEntry node when
        saving. This resulted in invalid chapters.

2015-09-18  Moritz Bunkus  <moritz@bunkus.org>

        * MKVToolNix GUI: new merge tool feature: when dragging & dropping
        files onto merge settings already containing a file the user can
        set more options to be always done instead of asking (before: only
        adding files to the current merge settings could be thus marked;
        now: adding to current, adding to new settings and adding each
        file to new settings can be set to perform without
        asking). Implements #1388.

        * MKVToolNix GUI: merge tool enhancement: when dragging & dropping
        files onto merge settings already containing a file the dialog
        asking the user what to do has received a new option for creating
        one new merge tab for each of the dropped files. Implements #1380.

2015-09-17  Moritz Bunkus  <moritz@bunkus.org>

        * mkvmerge: bug fix: the pixel dimensions reported for VC-1 in
        MPEG transport streams in verbose identification mode was 0x0.

        * mkvmerge: bug fix: the number of channels and the sample rate
        reported for DTS in MPEG transport streams and MPEG program
        streams in verbose identification mode was 0.

        * mkvmerge: container and track properties in verbose
        identification mode are now output sorted.

        * MKVToolNix GUI: new merge tool feature: the »tracks« tree view
        contains a new column titled »properties« which contains basic
        track properties: the pixel dimensions for a video track and
        sampling frequency, number of channels and bits per sample for an
        audio track. Implements #1295.

2015-09-14  Moritz Bunkus  <moritz@bunkus.org>

        * mkvmerge: enhancement: the verbose identification result for all
        audio tracks has been extended to include the number of channels,
        the sample rate and the bits per sample where applicable. Part of
        the implementation of #1295.

2015-09-13  Moritz Bunkus  <moritz@bunkus.org>

        * all: bug fix: parsing of strings containing negative values or
        timecodes was broken on 32bit architectures. Fixes #1425.

2015-09-06  Moritz Bunkus  <moritz@bunkus.org>

        * mkvmerge: the verbose identification result for the MPEG program
        stream, MPEG transport stream and WAV readers has been changed for
        audio tracks in order to match the Matroska reader's result. The
        old keys »channels«, »sample_rate« and »bits_per_sample« have been
        replaced by »audio_channels«, »audio_sampling_frequency« and
        »audio_bits_per_sample«.

        * mkvmerge: enhancement: the pixel width/height will be reported
        in verbose identification mode for all video tracks.

2015-09-05  Moritz Bunkus  <moritz@bunkus.org>

        * MKVToolNix GUI: new merge tool feature: added a column in the
        track list showing the effective state of the »default track«
        flag. It shows the state of the flag as it will be in the output
        file. Implements #1353.

2015-09-02  Moritz Bunkus  <moritz@bunkus.org>

        * mkvmerge: enhancement: when mkvmerge encounters garbage data in
        the middle of AC3 or MP3 tracks it will now output the timecode
        where the garbage occurred in order to make checking for
        audio/video sync issues easier. Implements #1420.

2015-09-01  Moritz Bunkus  <moritz@bunkus.org>

        * MKVToolNix GUI: chapter editor enhancement: added a column in
        the tree with the edition's/chapter's flags.

        * MKVToolNix GUI: new feature: the state of all columns in all
        list/tree views can be reset (both the shown/hidden state as well
        as their order) from the column's context menu. See #1268.

2015-08-30  Moritz Bunkus  <moritz@bunkus.org>

        * MKVToolNix GUI: new feature: the column headers of all list/tree
        views can be re-ordered via drag & drop and the GUI will remember
        their position upon restart. Additionally the columns can be
        hidden/shown via a context menu by right-clicking on the column
        headers. Implements #1268.

        * MKVToolNix GUI: new chapter editor feature: added an option
        for skipping chapters marked as "hidden" in the re-numbering
        dialog. Implements #1414.

2015-08-29  Moritz Bunkus  <moritz@bunkus.org>

        * all: new feature: added a new translation to Serbian (Cyrillic)
        by Jay Alexander Fleming (see AUTHORS).

        * MKVToolNix GUI: enhancement: the header editor will convert ISO
        639-2 terminology codes used in language elements to their
        corresponding bibliographic variants. Implements #1418.

2015-08-28  Moritz Bunkus  <moritz@bunkus.org>

        * MKVToolNix GUI: merge tool bug fix: if the output file name
        policy »last output directory« was used then manual changes to the
        output file name weren't recognized as changes to the last output
        directory. Fixes #1411.

        * MKVToolNix GUI: merge tool bug fix: the »default subtitle
        charset« is not applied to text subtitles from Matroska files as
        those are always encoded in UTF-8. Fixes #1416.

        * MKVToolNix GUI: enhancement: the titles and button texts of
        dialogs asking questions have been improved to be easier
        understandable. For example, instead of using »yes/no« as the
        answers to the question »Do you want to close the unmodified
        file?« the choices are now »Close file/Cancel«. Implements #1417.

2015-08-27  Moritz Bunkus  <moritz@bunkus.org>

        * MKVToolNix GUI: chapter editor bug fix: the »shift timecodes«
        action in the mass modification dialog wasn't working at all, and
        selecting multiple actions in the dialog would result in wrong
        actions being executed.

2015-08-23  Moritz Bunkus  <moritz@bunkus.org>

        * MKVToolNix GUI: chapter editor enhancement: when loading simple/
        OGM style chapter files that contain non-ASCII characters and
        which do not start with a byte order mark (BOM) the GUI will let
        the user chose the character set to use. A preview is shown for
        the selected character set and updated when the user changes the
        character set.

2015-08-20  Moritz Bunkus  <moritz@bunkus.org>

        * MKVToolNix GUI: merge tool enhancement: added »remove all« and
        »select all« entries to the attachments context menu. Implements
        #1386.

        * MKVToolNix GUI: job output enhancement: the output, warnings and
        error text views are now separated by two splitters enabling the
        user to change their respective sizes. These changes are
        remembered over restarts. Implements #1394.

        * MKVToolNix GUI: chapter editor enhancement: pressing
        shift+return will cause the next appropriate chapter control to be
        selected depending on where the focus currently is: from a chapter
        input (start/end time, flags, UIDs) to the next chapter entry's
        start time, from a chapter name to the next chapter name and from
        the last chapter name to the next chapter entry's first chapter
        name. Implements #1398 and complements #1358.

        * MKVToolNix GUI: chapter editor enhancement: pressing return on
        the very last chapter entry will wrap and focus the first one in
        the tree again. Enhances #1358.

2015-08-19  Moritz Bunkus  <moritz@bunkus.org>

        * MKVToolNix GUI: bug fix: fixed the total job queue progress with
        respect to removing completed jobs (either automatically or
        manually). Fixes #1405.

2015-08-18  Moritz Bunkus  <moritz@bunkus.org>

        * MKVToolNix GUI: bug fix: mkvmerge is now run in with the same
        interface language set for the GUI.

        * mkvmerge: bug fix: The formula used for calculating the audio
        delay for garbage data at the start of tracks in AVI files has
        been fixed again. It now uses the values dwStart, dwScale and
        dwSampleSize from the AVI stream header structure instead of
        values derived from the audio packet headers. Fixes #1382 and
        still works correctly for #1137.

        * MKVToolNix GUI: enhancement: scrolling over input elements like
        combo boxes, check boxes and radio buttons located within a scroll
        area will now scroll the scroll area instead of the element the
        cursor is over (e.g. a combo box). Implements #1400.

2015-08-17  Moritz Bunkus  <moritz@bunkus.org>

        * all: the environment variable <TOOLNAME>_OPTIONS is now
        parsed for options for TOOL (e.g. MKVMERGE_OPTIONS for
        mkvmerge). MKVTOOLNIX_OPTIONS is still used for all
        programs. Fixes #1403.

2015-08-16  Moritz Bunkus  <moritz@bunkus.org>

        * MKVToolNix GUI: bug fix: fixed the escaping of the command line
        for cmd.exe regarding the command name itself (the very first
        argument). Fixes #1401.

2015-08-15  Moritz Bunkus  <moritz@bunkus.org>

        * build system: removal: the switch »--without-mkvtoolnix-gui« has
        been removed. There are only two GUIs left in the package: the
        Qt-enabled mkvinfo and MKVToolNix GUI. Both are enabled by default
        and can be disabled with the option »--disable-qt«. In that case
        only the text-mode version of mkvinfo is built, and the MKVToolNix
        GUI is not built at all.

        * Removal: all support for wxWidgets has been removed. This means
        that the mkvmerge GUI (mmg) has been removed and that mkvinfo now
        only supports a text-mode and a Qt-based interface.

        * build system: bug fix: fixed Qt platform plugin detection on
        MacOS.

Changelog

       * Released v8.5.0.

2015-10-16  Moritz Bunkus  <moritz@bunkus.org>

        * mkvmerge: bug fix: the cropping parameters contained the
        "cropping:" prefix twice in the verbose identification output.

        * MKVToolNix GUI: merge tool enhancement: when dropping files onto
        the GUI the last file's directory is remembered as the last
        directory a file was opened from causing the next open file dialog
        to start in that directory. Implements #1477.

        * all: new feature: added a Catalan translation of
        the man pages by Antoni Bella Pérez (see AUTHORS).

2015-10-15  Moritz Bunkus  <moritz@bunkus.org>

        * MKVToolNix GUI: chapter editor enhancement: the start and end
        timestamps in the tree are displayed with nanosecond
        precision. Implements #1474.

        * MKVToolNix GUI: merge tool enhancement: added a column to the
        track list containing the state of the "forced track"
        flag. Implements #1472.

2015-10-14  Moritz Bunkus  <moritz@bunkus.org>

        * MKVToolNix GUI: merge tool enhancement: pressing the delete key
        in the attachments list removes the selected entries. Implements
        #1473.

2015-10-13  Moritz Bunkus  <moritz@bunkus.org>

        * MKVToolNix GUI: enhancement: if the last directory opened
        doesn't exist anymore then default to one that does in order to
        prevent an error message from older Windows versions about a
        location not being available. Fixes #1438.

2015-10-10  Moritz Bunkus  <moritz@bunkus.org>

        * MKVToolNix GUI: enhancement: the context menu for the status bar
        job status counters is now shown when the user clicks with any
        mouse button, not just the right one. This should make the feature
        easier to discover. Implements #1396.

        * MKVToolNix GUI: new job queue feature: added an option in the
        preferences for resetting the warning and error counters of all
        jobs and the global counters in the status bar to 0 when exiting
        the program. Implements #1437.

        * MKVToolNix GUI: current job output enhancement: the separator
        lines for warnings and errors ("--- Warnings emitted by Job …
        started on … ---") are only shown when warnings/errors actually
        occur and not for each job that's run.

2015-10-09  Moritz Bunkus  <moritz@bunkus.org>

        * MKVToolNix GUI: bug fix: the menus that are currently not shown
        are disabled properly so that they don't react to keyboard
        shortcuts anymore. This affected e.g. Alt+J with the English
        localization as there were three shortcuts active: the "add to job
        queue" button (if the merge tool is active), the "job queue" menu
        and the "job output" menu.

2015-10-08  Moritz Bunkus  <moritz@bunkus.org>

        * MKVToolNix GUI: bug fix (Windows): changed some options for Qt's
        file dialogs in order to speed up access to network shares in
        certain situations. Fixes #1459.

2015-10-06  Moritz Bunkus  <moritz@bunkus.org>

        * mkvmerge: enhancement: improved identification output for DTS
        96/24. Implements #1431.

2015-10-04  Moritz Bunkus  <moritz@bunkus.org>

        * mkvmerge: bug fix: PCM tracks: if the number of samples per
        packet varies then no default duration will be
        written. Fixes #1426.

        * MKVToolNix GUI: merge tool enhancement: added buttons for
        previewing the character sets for text subtitles read from SRT and
        SSA/ASS files as well as for chapter files. They're located next
        to the drop down boxes for the character sets on the input and
        output tabs.

        * MKVToolNix GUI: merge tool enhancement: added buttons next to
        the 'segment UID', 'previous segment UID' and 'next segment UID'
        controls that enable the user to select a Matroska file. The GUI
        reads that file's segment UID and enters its value into the
        corresponding control. Part of the implementation of #1363.

        * mkvmerge: new feature: The three options that use segment UIDs
        (--segment-uid, --link-to-previous and --link-to-next) can now
        read the segment UID of an existing Matroska file. For this the
        file's name must be given as an argument prefixed with =
        (e.g. '--segment-uid =some_file.mkv'). Implements #1363.

        * MKVToolNix GUI: chapter editor enhancement: Added another
        variable to the chapter name templates called <START> which is
        replaced by the chapter's start timestamp. An optional format can
        be specified, e.g. <START:%H:%M:%S.%3n> resulting in something
        like 01:35:27.734. This can be used in the 'generate sub-chapters'
        or the 'renumber sub-chapters' functionality. Implements #1445.

2015-10-03  Moritz Bunkus  <moritz@bunkus.org>

        * MKVToolNix GUI: merge tool bug fix: If there's currently no
        source file present when the user drags & drops files onto the
        merge tool then the GUI will no longer leave an empty, superfluous
        tab for certain drop modes. Fixes #1446.

        * MKVToolNix GUI: merge tool enhancement: implemented the optional
        warning before overwriting existing files when starting to mux or
        adding a job to the queue. The pending jobs in the queue are
        checked for the same destination file name as well. Implements
        #1390.

        * MKVToolNix GUI: enhancement: pressing the delete key in the
        chapter editor and the job queue removes the selected
        entries. Implements #1454.

        * MKVToolNix GUI: merge tool enhancement: dropping chapter, tag
        and segment info files from external applications will cause those
        file names to be added to the appropriate controls on the 'output'
        tab. Implements #1332 and 1345.

        * MKVToolNix GUI: merge tool enhancement: the feature "default
        track language" has been split into track languages by type. There
        are now three separate settings for audio, video and subtitle
        tracks. Implements #1338.

2015-09-29  Moritz Bunkus  <moritz@bunkus.org>

        * mkvmerge: enhancement: the verbose identification for MP4 files
        will now derive basic audio parameters of MP3 and AC3 tracks from
        the bitstream instead of relying on the values in the track
        headers.

2015-09-27  Moritz Bunkus  <moritz@bunkus.org>

        * MKVToolNix GUI: new merge tool feature: implemented an optional
        vertical layout mode for the "input" tab in which the track
        properties are shown below the track list. Implements #1304.

2015-09-26  Moritz Bunkus  <moritz@bunkus.org>

        * MKVToolNix GUI: merge tool bug fix: the "default track flag in
        output" column wasn't updated properly directly after loading
        settings.

2015-09-25  Moritz Bunkus  <moritz@bunkus.org>

        * MKVToolNix GUI: merge tool enhancement: when browsing for
        chapter files on the "output" tab the initial directory is the
        first input file's directory instead of the directory accessed
        last.

        * MKVToolNix GUI: merge tool bug fix: the cropping parameters were
        not converted into parameters for mkvmerge at all.

2015-09-22  Moritz Bunkus  <moritz@bunkus.org>

        * all: several ISO 639-2 codes of languages that are very old and
        not spoken anymore have been removed (e.g. "English, Middle
        (1100-1500)").

        * MKVToolNix GUI: enhancement: on Windows the drop down boxes were
        elliding overlong text. This has been changed to making the open
        combo boxes' scroll areas wide enough to contain the whole
        entries. This matches the behavior of Qt on other operating
        systems.

        * all: fixed the spelling of the AC-3, E-AC-3 and VC-1 codec
        names.

2015-09-21  Moritz Bunkus  <moritz@bunkus.org>

        * MKVToolNix GUI: new merge tool feature: added context menu
        entries for opening the selected files/the source files of
        selected tracks in MediaInfo. Implements #1423.

2015-09-20  Moritz Bunkus  <moritz@bunkus.org>

        * MKVToolNix GUI: bug fix: the interface language selection has
        been improved not to select wrong entries resulting in error
        messages from mkvmerge about unknown translations. Fixes #1434.

        * MKVToolNix GUI: bug fix: if the Windows version of the GUI was
        started from a symbolically linked folder then it would crash when
        the user added a file. Fixes #1315.

build system: libEBML v1.3.3 and libMatroska v1.4.4 are now required due to important fixes for invalid memory accesses in those two releases. The copies included in the MKVToolNix source code have been updated to those releases as well.
MKVToolNix GUI: bug fix: the "save file" dialogs did not have the currently entered file name pre-selected anymore. Fixes #1480.
MKVToolNix GUI: header editor enhancement: several track properties like name or language are shown as columns in the tree for easier distinction between tracks. They're also shown on the overview page on the right when that track's entry is selected in the tree. The text in the labels on this overview page can be selected with the mouse for copying & pasting elsewhere.
MKVToolNix GUI: bug fix: fixed a crash when loading corrupted job settings.
MKVToolNix GUI: header editor bug fix: the tree items weren't re-translated when the GUI language was changed.
mkvmerge: bug fix: updating the track headers wasn't working in some rare cases (corresponding error message "Re-rendering track headers: data_size != 0 not implemented yet").
MKVToolNix GUI: bug fix (Linux): the function "open folder" was inserting a superfluous leading slash in the directory name. This causes some file managers to interpret a directory name like "//home/mosu/…" as a share called "mosu" on a Samba/Windows server called "home" and to prepend the whole name with the "smb://" protocol. Fixes #1479.
