* Mon Apr 06 2026 Luigi Baldoni <aloisio@gmx.com>
- Update to version 98.0
New features and enhancements:
* all: huge update to the Japanese translations which had been
not worked on for several years. The program translation is
now complete again, the man page translation has been extended
as well. Both were reworked in most places.
* GUI: chapter editor: added an option in the "additional
modifications" dialog that toggles applying the selected
modifications to all currently open chapter editor tabs.
Bug fixes:
* GUI: chapter editor: when renumbering chapters limiting the
number of chapters to renumber did not work.
* GUI: macOS: fixed refreshing widgets after system switches
between dark & light modes.
Build system changes:
* The bundled `fmt` library was updated to v12.1.0.
* Fri Jan 02 2026 Luigi Baldoni <aloisio@gmx.com>
- Update to version 97.0
New features and enhancements:
* mkvmerge: MP4 reader: added support for TrueHD in MP4 with
FourCC `mlpa`.
* Sat Nov 08 2025 Luigi Baldoni <aloisio@gmx.com>
- Update to version 96.0
New features and enhancements:
* all programs: added a command-line parameter `--no-bom` that
disables writing byte order marks to text files encoded with
one of the UTF variants.
* MKVToolNix GUI: multiplexer: added variable
`<MTX_CHAPTERS_FILE_NAME>` to the "run program after job
completion" mechanism containing the absolute path to the
chapters file name.
Bug fixes:
* mkvmerge: OBU reader: fixed probing files in which the first
frame ends after the 1MB mark, which is how big the memory
buffer used for probing content is.
* mkvmerge: VobSub reader: VobSub `.idx` files that start with
a byte-order mark (BOM) are now read again correctly.
* mkvextract: AV1/IVF: fixed inserting a temporal delimiter
OBU at the start of each frame if there is none.
* mkvextract: AV1/IVF: fixed a potential calculation error
when deriving frame rate numerator & denominator from
Matroska's default duration.
* mkvextract: AV1/IVF: fixed calculation of IVF frame number
calculation from Matroska's frame timestamps by rounding
instead of truncating.
* Wed Sep 24 2025 aschnell@suse.com
- libboost_system was removed upstream (bsc#1249900)
* Sun Sep 14 2025 Luigi Baldoni <aloisio@gmx.com>
- Update to version 95.0
New features and enhancements:
* mkvmerge, MKVToolNix GUI: new chapter generation feature: a
new placeholder has been introduced when generating chapters
for appended files, \<TITLE\>, which will be replaced by the
appended file's title metadata.
* mkvmerge: the display matrix from MP4 files are now
translated into appropriate roll and yaw values for output
MKV files.
* mkvmerge: add `--date` argument to set the date metadata.
Bug fixes:
* build system: fixed building with the upcoming Boost v1.89.0
by only requiring the header part of the Boost.System library
as it's been header-only since v1.69.0.
* mkvmerge: PCM packetizer: mkvmerge will now always write
frames with 40ms of samples, no matter how long or short the
frames in the source files were.
* mkvmerge: MP4/QuickTime reader: fix exorbitant memory usage
when reading PCM audio tracks.
Build system changes:
* Boost v1.74.0 or newer is now required.
* Sun Jul 27 2025 Luigi Baldoni <aloisio@gmx.com>
- Update to version 94.0
New features and enhancements:
* MKVToolNix GUI: multiplexer: the "delete source files after
multiplexing" job runner will now delete both files of an
`.idx`/`.sub` VobSub file pair.
Bug fixes:
* all: fix compilation without FLAC.
* Sun Jun 15 2025 Luigi Baldoni <aloisio@gmx.com>
- Update to version 93.0
New features and enhancements:
* all: updated the various lists that go into IETF/BCP 47
language tags: ISO 639 languages; ISO 3166 countries; ISO
15924 regions; IANA subtag registries.
* translations: added a Hungarian translation of the programs
& man pages.
* mkvextract: tags extraction: added an option
`--no-track-tags` (short: `-T`) for not extracting tags
associated with tracks.
* MKVToolNix GUI: multiplexer: the default regular expression
for deriving the "forced display" track flag from file names
for subtitles was extended to also match on the term `signs`.
* MKVToolNix GUI: preferences: the revert buttons for the
various "default regex for…" will only be enabled when the
current text differs from the default, in other words: when
reverting would actually change the text.
* MKVToolNix GUI: preferences: the GUI will now auto-upgrade
the "default regex for…" to their respective current default
values if they're still set to one of the previous default
values.
* Sat Apr 26 2025 Luigi Baldoni <aloisio@gmx.com>
- Update to version 92.0
New features and enhancements:
* mkvmerge: FLAC reader: pictures embedded into the FLAC file
were already handled as attachments, but they were left in
the codec initialization data as well. They're now removed
from the codec initialization data.
* mkvmerge: FLAC reader: padding metadata blocks will now be
removed from the codec initialization data.
* mkvmerge: FLAC reader: embedded Vorbis comments will now be
converted into Matroska comments or track/global header
fields when available (e.g. `TITLE` will become the segment
title & track's name, `LANGUAGE` will become the track's
language). Copying of Vorbis comments that are converted
into actual Matroska tags can be prevented with the usual
options, e.g. `--no-track-tags`. The comments will also be
removed from the codec initialization data.
* mkvmerge, MKVToolNix GUI's chapter editor: when reading
simple (OGM-style) chapter files & no character set is
given for the file, mkvmerge will try UTF-8 first before
falling back to the system's default encoding.
* MKVToolNix GUI: multiplexer: the special drag & drop zones
added in v91 are now shown by default in new installations.
* MKVToolNix GUI: in new installations the main window will
now be sized at 75% of the screen's resolution initially
with a certain minimum initial size. This improves initial
readability on high DPI screens that use screen scaling
factors such as 150%.
Bug fixes:
* mkvmerge: Ogg reader: during identification the track tags
are now reported properly.
* MKVToolNix GUI: multiplexer: within the "additional
options", both track-specific ones & the global ones on the
"Output" tab, it wasn't possible to specify empty
(zero-length) arguments. With the intended syntax of two
consecutive single or double quotation marks the empty
arguments were simply skipped. This was fixed, and it is now
possible to specify e.g. `--title ""` in the global
"Additional options" in order to force no title to be written
ever.
* Sun Mar 16 2025 Luigi Baldoni <aloisio@gmx.com>
- Update to version 91.0
New features and enhancements:
* MKVToolNix GUI: multiplexer: added actions in the
"Multiplexer" menu for saving all currently open multiplexer
tabs to a single `.mtxcfg` file. Loading this file later will
restore all tabs.
* MKVToolNix GUI: multiplexer: when adding files the GUI can
automatically enable the "commentary" flag for audio and
subtitle tracks if the file name contains the word "comments"
or "commentary" delimited by certain characters
(configurable). This feature is turned on by default.
* MKVToolNix GUI: multiplexer: when adding files the GUI can
automatically enable the "original language" flag for audio
and subtitle tracks if the track's language matches one
configured by the user (configurable). This feature is turned
off by default.
* MKVToolNix GUI: multiplexer: when adding files the GUI can
automatically set several track flags based on the file name.
It can now look for the same patters in the track names, too
(configurable). This feature is turned on by default.
* MKVToolNix GUI: multiplexer: added special drag & drop zones
where users can drop files to circumvent the preferences wrt.
what to do with multiple dropped files. Each drop zone
corresponds to one of the three possible choices (add all to
current settings; create one new settings & add all there;
add new settings for each file & add one file to each). This
feature is turned off by default.
* MKVToolNix GUI: multiplexer: added additional special drag &
drop zones where users can drop files to add them as
attachments. One of the zones will automatically set up the
dropped file to function as a cover image.
* MKVToolNix GUI: multiplexer: when making destination file
names unique by suffixing them with a running number the GUI
will now also consider the destination file names of
multiplex jobs currently in the queue that are currently
running or still waiting for execution.
Bug fixes:
* mkvmerge: timestamps format v3: fixed the parser; it was
completely broken for the lines containing the duration & an
optional number of frames per second.
* mkvmerge: DTS parser: if the X96 extension is present in a
DTS-HD High Resolution stream, the sampling frequency will be
set to 96kHz. This was broken when reading DTS from elementary
streams & from Matroska files.
* mkvpropedit, MKVToolNix GUI's chapter & header editors:
fixed a bug leading to a segmentation fault when trying to
replace an element at the end of the file that's followed by
only void elements (at least one).
* Sun Feb 09 2025 Luigi Baldoni <aloisio@gmx.com>
- Update to version 90.0
New features and enhancements:
* MKVToolNix GUI: header editor: double-clicking on one of the
three flag indicators ("Default track", "Forced display",
"Enabled") for a track in the tree view will now toggle the
corresponding flag.
Bug fixes:
* mkvmerge: AAC parser: LOAS/LATM streams: fixed use of
uninitialized data when the `StreamMuxConfig` element doesn't
contain the `audioMuxVersion` element; version 0 must be
assumed in such a case. The result was that sometimes certain
valid AAC packets were dropped.
* mkvmerge: HEVC/H.265 parser: fixed calculation of picture
order count calculation that was triggered under rare
circumstances.
* mkvmerge: Matroska reader: enabled limits for how much data
a single Matroksa reader instance might buffer when the
muxing core looks for packets for specific tracks, avoiding
huge memory consumption in cases where tracks have huge gaps
between packets. This might happen when appending files
containing forced-only subtitle tracks, for example.
* mkvmerge: TrueHD reader: increased the probe range for
TrueHD sync frames from 128 KB to 512 KB to avoid
mis-detection with certain files with a lot of data between
sync frames.
* mkvmerge: MP4/QuickTime reader: fixed detection of Big
Endian LPCM audio.
Build system changes:
* The bundled `fmt` library was updated to v11.1.2.
* added a new option to `configure` called `--disable-dbus` to
disable looking for & using QtDBus even if it's present on
the system. Default remains to probe for its existence.
* Fri Dec 27 2024 Luigi Baldoni <aloisio@gmx.com>
- Update to version 89.0
New features and enhancements:
* mkvmerge: AC-3 writer: mkvmerge will now use the codec ID
`A_AC3` even for streams with bitstream IDs 9 or 10 instead
of the deprecated codec IDs `A_AC3/BSID9` & `A_AC3/BSID10`.
* MKVToolNix GUI: multiplexer: the mechanism for setting track
languages to specific values upon adding a file has gotten a
new option to always set the language, no matter whether or
not the source container provided a track language or what it
was set to.
* all command-line tools: implemented an escape mechanism for
when you want to use the `@` sign as the first character in
an argument to an option such as `--title`. To escape it
the `@` sign has to be doubled as in `--title @@midnight`.
Bug fixes:
* mkvmerge, mkvpropedit, MKVToolNix GUI's multiplexer & header
editor: the MIME type for TrueType & OpenType fonts will be
set properly to either the current MIME types `font/ttf` &
`font/otf` or to the legacy MIME types
`application/x-truetype-font` & `application/vnd.ms-opentype`
depending on whether the "use legacy font MIME types" option
is disabled or enabled, even if the MIME database used by Qt
returns the wrong one or even other MIME types such as
`application/x-font-ttf` & `application/x-font-otf`.
* MKVToolNix GUI's multiplexer & header editor: ensured that
both the legacy & the current font MIME types are always
present in the MIME type combo boxes of attachments, no
matter what Qt's MIME type database contains.
* MKVToolNix GUI: the "disable tooltips" option in the
preference will now disable the tooltip for the status bar,
too.
* Thu Nov 14 2024 Luigi Baldoni <aloisio@gmx.com>
- Update to version 88.0
New features and enhancements
* mkvmerge, MKVToolNix GUI's chapter editor: added support for
reading chapters from PotPlayer bookmark files.
Bug fixes:
* configure: fixed setting `HAVE_QTDBUS` properly if the
QtDbus module is found. Fixes #3744.
* mkvmerge: MP4 reader: mkvmerge will no longer warn when
multiple identical FourCCs are present within the same track
headers.
* mkvmerge man page: removed the wrong statement that an
attachment's MIME type must be set before use of the
`--attach-file` & `--attach-file-once` options. If not given,
mkvmerge auto-detects the MIME type.
* Sat Sep 07 2024 Luigi Baldoni <aloisio@gmx.com>
- Update to version 87.0
New features and enhancements:
* mkvmerge: chapters: added support for specifying MPLS files
with `--chapters`, too, not just as regular source files.
The documentation stated this was possible already, but that
wasn't actually the case.
* MKVToolNix GUI: multiplexer: added a progress dialog that is
shown during file identification.
* MKVToolNix GUI: jobs: the status bar now differentiates
between numbers of warnings/errors that occurred in the
current session and those that occurred before the current
session.
Bug fixes:
* mkvmerge: AAC parser: LOAS/LATM streams: if the first
`AudioSpecificConfig`
element is not found within the first LOAS/LATM frame,
`mkvmerge` will no longer discard the frames before it but
defer parsing them until after it has found the
`AudioSpecificConfig` element.
* MKVToolNix GUI: job queue: fixed the GUI crashing when
re-ordering the jobs in the job queue.
Build system changes:
* The bundled `fmt` library was updated to v10.2.1.
* Sat Jul 13 2024 Luigi Baldoni <aloisio@gmx.com>
- Update to version 86.0
New features and enhancements:
* mkvmerge: Matroska reader: track statistics tags are
included in the JSON identification output just like other
tags had already been included: as part of the track
properties, prefixed with `tag_`.
* mkvmerge: MPEG TS reader: mkvmerge will now detect teletext
subtitle tracks even if they're not listed in the PMT as
long as it can find teletext pages flagged as subtitles in
the header within the probed ranged of the file.
* MKVToolNix GUI: multiplexer: the default mode for escaping
the arguments in the "Show command line" dialog can now be
set in the preferences.
* MKVToolNix GUI: multiplexer: the "Show command line" dialog
now includes the command lines for all currently open
multiplex settings, switchable with a combo box.
* MKVToolNix GUI: multiplexer: some users add the option
`--regenerate-track-uids` to the "additional options", even
though `--regenerate-track-uids` is a file-specific option,
and you can only use global options in the "additional
options". However, the GUI currently doesn't have an option
for specifying additional file-specific options. The GUI now
detects the use of this option in the "additional options" &
adds it for each of the source files instead.
* MKVToolNix GUI: multiplexer: the option
`--regenerate-track-uids` has been added to the "additional
command line options" dialog.
* translations: added a Norwegian Bokmål translation of the
man pages.
Bug fixes:
* mkvmerge: when using timestamp files for subtitle tracks,
mkvmerge will no longer set a default duration for the track.
* mkvmerge: when using timestamp files for subtitle tracks,
mkvmerge will no longer queue frames longer than necessary,
which resulted in the frames sometimes being written much
later than they should have been according to their
timestamps.
* mkvmerge: when using timestamp files for subtitle tracks,
mkvmerge will now write the packets' duration properly.
* MKVToolNix GUI: job queue: the shortcut from the "Job queue"
menu are now enabled correctly whenever the number of jobs in
the queue changes (e.g. by adding new jobs).
* Sun Jun 02 2024 Luigi Baldoni <aloisio@gmx.com>
- Update to version 85.0
Bug fixes:
* fixed compilation of `src/common/sorting.h` with certain
compilers due to the deprecation & removal of
`std::result_of<>` in C++20.
* fixed compilation with the `gtest` library when `gtest`
requires additional libraries by querying `pkg-config`
for the correct flags & libraries to build with.
* MKVToolNix GUI: multiplexer: restored the keyboard shortcut
for switching to the "Attachments" tab (Alt+C for the
English interface).
* MKVToolNix GUI: multiplexer: fixed several cases when the
keyboard shortcuts for copying the first source file's
name/the destination file's name to the title (Ctrl+F &
Ctrl+D) and the one for copying the title to the destination
file name (Ctrl+T) were not enabled.
* Sun Apr 28 2024 Luigi Baldoni <aloisio@gmx.com>
- Update to version 84.0
New features and enhancements:
* mkvmerge: added a new file-specific option
`--regenerate-track-uids`. When used for Matroska files,
`mkvmerge` will generate new random track UIDs instead of
keeping existing track UIDs. This is done automatically when
a Matroska file was created by MakeMKV.
* mkvmerge: MP4 reader: added support for FLAC in MP4.
* MKVToolNix GUI: multiplexer: the "Attachments" tab's title
will now include the total number of attachments (both from
source files & to newly attach).
* translations: added a Norwegian Bokmål translation of the
programs by Roger Knutsen (see `AUTHORS`).
Bug fixes:
* configure: when called with `--disable-gui` the build system
still ran the check for the GUI libraries & failed if they
weren't found. This check is now skipped when the option is
given.
* mkvmerge: several color-related track header properties were
parsed into & stored as a wrong integer type internally. This
could result in wrong values being copied when very large
values were present in source files, or in error messages
when very large values were used as command-line parameters.
* MKVToolNix GUI: multiplexer: the keyboard shortcuts from the
"modify selected tracks" sub-menu didn't work right after
opening a file. They only started working after opening the
"multiplexer" menu.
Build system changes:
* Release v8.0.0 of the `fmt` library is now required. If not
found, the bundled copy will be used.
* A C++20 compatible compiler is now required for several but
certainly not all C++20 features. g++ v10 & clang++ v10
should suffice.
* Sun Mar 10 2024 Luigi Baldoni <aloisio@gmx.com>
- Update to version 83.0
New features and enhancements:
* translations: added a Belarusian translation of the programs
& the man pages by prydespar (see `AUTHORS`).
* mkvmerge, MKVToolNix GUI's chapter editor: added support for
reading chapters from ffmpeg metadata files.
* MKVToolNix GUI: added a new action type for execution after
jobs or the queue finishes: quitting MKVToolNix.
Build system changes:
* The bundled `fmt` library was updated to v10.2.1.
Other changes:
* Tons of changes were made to support the latest development
versions of libEBML & libMatroska.
* Wed Jan 03 2024 Luigi Baldoni <aloisio@gmx.com>
- Update to version 82.0
New features and enhancements:
* mkvmerge: Matroska reader: the "video alpha mode" track
header property will be copied to the output file if present.
* mkvmerge: Matroska reader: the "video alpha mode" track
header property will be reported in JSON identification mode
as the track property `alpha_mode`.
* mkvmerge: Matroska reader: the file's timestamp scaling
factor will be reported in JSON identification mode as the
container property `timestamp_scale`.
* mkvmerge: MPEG transport stream reader: teletext subtitles
intended for hearing impaired people (type 0x05) are now
marked as such via the appropriate flag in the track headers.
* mkvmerge: file identification: the JSON identification
output schema version has been bumped to 19.
* mkvmerge: added a new hack `always_write_block_add_ids` that
can be used as a workaround for players that don't support
the handling of missing "Block Addition ID" sub-elements of
"Block More" elements in block additions properly. These are
used for e.g. alpha channel data in VP9 with a "Block
Addition ID" value of 1, which is also its default value.
* mkvinfo: added support for the "video alpha mode" track
header element.
* mkvpropedit, MKVToolNix GUI's header editor: added support
for the "video alpha mode" track header property. In
`mkvpropedit` it's called `alpha-mode`.
* MKVToolNix GUI: multiplexer: when adding files the GUI can
automatically enable the "hearing impaired" flag for audio
and subtitle tracks if the file name contains the word "cc"
or "sdh" delimited by certain characters (configurable).
This feature is turned on by default.
* MKVToolNix GUI: multiplexer: when scanning for Blu-ray
playlists the GUI will now ignore playlists that are likely
meant for menus. Currently the GUI considers this to be the
case when a playlist contains the same item at least five
times. This behavior can be turned off in the preferences.
Bug fixes:
* mkvmerge: MPEG transport stream reader: fixed a crash
introduced in v81 that occurred when there was at least one
PCM track that wasn't copied from the transport stream file.
* mkvmerge: when reading data from Matroska files damaged in a
specific way, mkvmerge ended up trying to write various types
of elements that aren't allowed to be written (so-called
`EbmlDummy` elements as well as elements that don't have a
value set) to the output file, which caused the underlying
`libebml` library to abort. These types of broken elements
are now filtered out.
Build system changes:
* Qt 5 is no longer supported. Qt 6 is now required for
building MKVToolNix. This implies that the options to
`configure` revolving around configuring Qt 5 or choosing
between the two have been removed (e.g. `--disable-qt6`).
* Qt 6 detection: if detection fails, error messages from
`qmake` can now be found in `config.log`.
* Qt 6 detection: `configure` will only consider Qt 6.2.0 or
newer, not 6.0.x or 6.1.y anymore, due to the lack of
support for the multimedia module.
* Qt 6 detection: `configure` will now fail to detect Qt 6 if
the 'multimedia' module is not found by `qmake` (e.g. due to
development packages not being installed).
* The bundled `fmt` library was updated to v10.1.1.
* Sat Dec 02 2023 Luigi Baldoni <aloisio@gmx.com>
- Update to version 81.0
New features and enhancements:
* mkvmerge: MPEG transport stream reader: HEVC/H.265: added
support for reading single-layer Dolby Vision from Annex B
type bitstream read from MPEG transport streams.
* mkvmerge: MPEG transport stream reader, HEVC/H.265
elementary stream reader: added support for reading
dual-layer Dolby Vision with both the base & enhancement
layers in the same track from Annex B type bitstreams in MPEG
transport files & elementary stream files.
* mkvmerge: MPEG transport stream reader: HEVC/H.265:
implemented combining dual-layer Dolby Vision with base &
enhancement layers in different tracks.
* MKVToolNix GUI: multiplexer: added a new option in the
preferences for always enabling 'forced' subtitle tracks.
A subtitle track is considered to be 'forced' if: the
corresponding property is set in the source file; the
track's name contains the word 'forced' (in English);
deriving the 'forced display' flag from file names is active
& the file name matches the corresponding pattern. The option
is disabled by default.
* MKVToolNix GUI: multiplexer: the functionality for detecting
file name sequences when adding files can now recognize the
patterns used by GoPro's cameras for chaptered video files.
* xyzvc_dump: the end position of the current NALU will be
output in non-portable format as well.
* xyzvc_dump: HEVC: the tool will now also output the inner
NALU type of Dolby Vision NALUs (`unspec62` and `unspec63`).
Bug fixes:
* mkvmerge: when the user requests processing be stopped after
the video ends `mkvmerge` will now take appending files into
account properly. It won't stop processing unconditionally
after the first file ends anymore.
* mkvmerge: AV1 handling in readers: the readers will now
provide the pixel dimensions to the AV1 packetizer as early
as possible, just like for other video packetizers. That way
the pixel dimensions are available for calculating the
display dimensions when command-line options such as
`--aspect-ratio` & `--aspect-ratio-factor` are used. Before
the change the calculation was done based on initial pixel
dimension values of 0x0, resulting in display dimensions of
0x0, too.
* mkvmerge: HEVC/H.265 packetizer: when reading & appending
HEVC/H.265 from Matroska, MP4/MOV or FLV files the first
frame of all the appended files was sometimes dropped,
resulting in broken video at the point where video is
appended.
* mkvmerge: MPEG transport stream reader: when reading MPEG
transport streams from Blu-rays the four-byte long
`TP_extra_header` structure in front of the transport
packets are now skipped properly. Before the fix a stray
byte with value of `0x47` inside that `TP_extra_header`
structure could have thrown off the detection of where the
transport packets start, leading to mkvmerge dropping a few
audio and/or video frames at the start of the file.
* mkvextract: AAC extractor: when an invalid program config
element in the GA-specific config element is encountered,
the program config element will be disregarded, which avoids
mkvextract aborting with an exception.
* xyzvc_dump: fixed the tool aborting with an exception when
the last NALU in an Annex B type file was shorter than four
bytes.
Other changes:
* AVC & HEVC dumper development tool: the tool has been
renamed from `xvc_dump` to `xyzvc_dump` as `xvc` is an
abbreviation for an existing video codec (Extreme Video
Coding), and the tool has nothing to do with that codec.
* Mon Oct 30 2023 Luigi Baldoni <aloisio@gmx.com>
- Update to version 80.0
New features and enhancements:
* MKVToolNix GUI: if the system's locale uses one of the Han
scripts, the GUI will force Arabic numerals to be used in
spin boxes. This prevents Suzhou numerals from being used.
Bug fixes:
* build system: fixed detection of Qt6 if `clang` is used for
compilation on Linux. In that case Qt's `qmake` added a
`gcc`-specific option that `clang` doesn't understand,
`-mno-direct-extern-access`. `configure` will now pass the
parameter `-spec linux-clang` to `qmake` so that it uses the
correct compiler flags.
* build system: fixed the use of `mktemp` to be more portable.
* mkvmerge: if a video aspect ratio was given with
`--aspect-ratio-factor`, the code would apply a second
factor based on the pixel resolution, resulting in much too
large values for the `DisplayWidth` element. For example,
with a pixel resolution of 720x520 & an aspect ratio factor
of 1/1 the result should be 720x520, but instead it was
900x520. Up until release 76.0 this has only happened when a
track order was given (which unfortunately includes all
invocations with MKVToolNix GUI as it always includes the
track order). Starting with release 77.0 this has always
happened due to the automatic sorting of tracks implicitly
creating a track order, even if none was given.
* Tue Aug 22 2023 Luigi Baldoni <aloisio@gmx.com>
- Update to version 79.0
New features and enhancements:
* mkvmerge: AV1: added support for reading Dolby Vision from
AV1 IVF & OBU streams. Patches by Quietvoid.
* mkvmerge: MPEG TS reader: added support for colors in
teletext subtitles.
* MKVToolNix GUI: multiplexer: when adding files the GUI can
automatically enable the "forced display" flag for subtitle
tracks if the file name contains the word "forced" delimited
by certain characters (configurable). This feature is turned
on by default.
* MKVToolNix GUI: multiplexer: added the option
`--stop-after-video-ends` to the dialog for additional
command line options.
* MKVToolNix GUI: multiplexer: when adding Blu-ray playlists
the dialog allowing the user to select the playlist to add
will now show audio & video track properties as well (pixel
dimensions for video; sampling frequency, channels for audio).
* MKVToolNix GUI: header editor: in order to reduce confusion
with users non that versed in Matroska elements, the naming
of the two "language" track properties has been changed:
the old element is now titled "Language (obsolete)" & the
current, IETF BCP 47 based one is simply called "Language".
* MKVToolNix GUI: preferences: you can now use the "delete"
key to remove entries from simple list widgets for strings
(e.g. the list of recently used destination directories).
Bug fixes:
* mkvmerge: DTS reader: if a DTS stream doesn't start with a
DTS core but a sub-stream element (EXSS), the reader will
now look for a core. If found, it'll start processing from
there instead of from the start. This fixes the timestamp
calculation if the sampling frequency in the core & in the
extensions are different.
* MKVToolNix GUI: multiplexer: the "emphasis" and
"stereoscopy" combo-boxes now have a much smaller minimum
width, allowing to make the whole "properties" pane much
smaller again.

- Update to version 78.0
New features and enhancements:
* MKVToolNix GUI: header editor: for files that only contain
legacy track language elements but no IETF language elements
the header editor will now derive the IETF language elements
from the legacy elements.
Bug fixes:
* all: Linux: if initializing the locale system based on the
system's settings fails, e.g. if environment variables such
as `LC_ALL` have been set to `fr_FR.UTF-8` but the locale
for `fr_FR.UTF-8` hasn't been built, MKVToolNix
will try to fall back to `en_US.UTF-8` first & `C.UTF-8`
second. If neither of the three succeeds, an error message
will be shown, and the program will abort. This fixes the
programs not catching an exception from the
`boost::filesystem` library which doesn't cope with
mis-configured locale systems well.
* mkvmerge: sorting tracks by type did not work properly when
some tracks weren't copied.
* mkvmerge: track numbers in the destination file were
assigned out-of-order when the track order in the source
files differs from the one in the destination file. Now
they're assigned sequentially in the order the tracks
appear in the destination file again.
* MKVToolNix GUI: under certain circumstances the GUI would
try to display error messages from a secondary thread, which
isn't allowed in Qt, causing to program to either hang or
outright crash.
* MKVToolNix GUI: the GUI will check for several potential
installation issues wrt. to having write access to certain
directories (system's temporary directory, MKVToolNix's file
identification cache directory and others) & display proper
error messages if not.
* MKVToolNix GUI: header editor: fixed the application
crashing whenever you change a property below the "segment
information" node. This bug was introduced in v77.
* MKVToolNix GUI: header editor: when reading files that only
contain legacy track language elements but no IETF track
language elements, the header editor was showing all tracks
as having "English" as the language. This bug was introduced
in v77.
* MKVToolNix GUI: header editor: when a legacy track language
element contains a country code (e.g. `fr-CA`), the header
editor was wrongfully using `und` = "undetermined" as the
language for that element. Now it'll use the language from
the language/country pair, which would be `fr` in the earlier
example.
* MKVToolNix GUI: header editor: the keyboard shortcuts from
the "modify selected track" sub-menu didn't work right after
opening a file. They only started working after opening the
"header editor" menu.
Build system changes:
* The compilation database (`compile_commands.json`) is now
always built. The variable `BUILD_COMPILATION_DATABASE` is
not evaluated anymore.
* Sun Jun 04 2023 Luigi Baldoni <aloisio@gmx.com>
- Update to version 77.0
New features and enhancements:
* mkvmerge: tracks in the destination file will now be sorted
by their type automatically unless the track order is
specified with the `--track-order` option. The order is as
follows: video tracks first followed by audio & subtitle
tracks with other rarely used types of tracks last. Tracks
of the same type will be sorted in the same order as their
source files occur in the command-line arguments. Note that
this doesn't affect file identification.
* MKVToolNix GUI: multiplexer: the default list colors used
for distinguishing source files does not include the darkest
tier anymore (the ones where one or two components are set
to the value 0x3f) as they're hard to distinguish from each
other. Only affects new installations, or when the user
presses the "reset to default colors" button.
* MKVToolNix GUI: multiplexer: the GUI will now check the
state of the 'track enabled' flag of all video, audio &
subtitle tracks when starting to multiplex or adding a job to
the job queue. If there's no track with its flag turned on
for a type, the GUI will turn on the flag for the first track
of the type. This behavior can be turned off in the
preferences.
* MKVToolNix GUI: header editor: the columns in the
tracks/attachments view and the values on the "track type"
page will now be updated each time a corresponding property
is changed (e.g. when a track's name is changed) instead of
showing what's in the file on disk.
* MKVToolNix GUI: Windows: a new settings in the preferences
lets the user chose whether to use the light or the dark
color palette, or to follow the system settings.
Bug fixes:
* Fixed compilation with fmt v10.0.0.
* mkvmerge: fixed several instances of wrong format strings
for `fmt::format` used in debug messages.
* mkvmerge: AV1 packetizer: the packetizer did not honor the
aspect ratio (factor) given on the command-line via the
`--aspect-ratio` or `--aspect-ratio-factor` options.
* mkvmerge: JSON identification: cropping parameters are
reported again even if some of the four values are not
present in the file or set to 0.
* MKVToolNix GUI: the defunct "disable the dark mode" checkbox
was removed from the preferences.
* MKVToolNix GUI: language dialog: under certain conditions
the controls for the individual components remained disabled
when the dialog is opened even though editing of individual
components is selected.
* MKVToolNix GUI: language dialog: the controls for the
individual components weren't re-initialized properly after
opening the dialog for the second & all following times,
potentially leaving previously selected/entered entries
intact, primarily when editing multiple tracks at once.
* MKVToolNix GUI: header editor: using the actions from the
"modify selected track" context menu only worked if the user
right-clicked on the first column in the view. They now work
for clicks on any of the columns.
* MKVToolNix GUI: header editor: some of the actions toggling
specific flags from the "modify selected track" did not work
correctly if the flag wasn't currently present in the file,
especially if the underlying value has a default value in the
Matroska specs.
Build system changes:
* The bundled `fmt` library was updated to v10.0.0.
* MKVToolNix GUI now uses an external Qt resource file instead
of compiling it into the executable. The resource file has
reached a size at which the C++ compiler exhausts available
virtual memory on some 32-bit architectures.
The GUI will look for the file in the directory set with
`configure`'s `--datadir` parameter on other systems
(which usually means `/usr/share/mkvtoolnix`). The `install`
build system commands installs it into that folder.
* Sun Apr 30 2023 Luigi Baldoni <aloisio@gmx.com>
- Update to version 76.0
Important notes:
* mkvmerge: removed the option `--blockadd`. Removing block
additional data is not possible anymore, as it is often
required for proper decoding.
New features and enhancements:
* mkvmerge: JSON file identification: added a child element
called `num_index_entries` to the `properties` track element
containing the number of index entries found for a track.
Currently only implemented for Matroska files where it
contains the number of cue points.
* mkvmerge: the maximum block addition ID track header value
is now calculated automatically from both the existing
mappings & the actually used block additions in the block
groups.
* mkvmerge: Matroska reader: when reading WebM files that use
block additions with ID 4 (HDR for VP9) an appropriate block
addition mapping will be created automatically.
* mkvmerge: MP4 reader: the title/movie name meta data
(content of the `udta.meta.ilst.©nam` atom) will now be
copied over as the segment title track header attribute.
* mkvmerge: MP4 reader: the comment & encoder meta data
(content of the `udta.meta.ilst.©cmt` & `….©too` atoms) will
now be copied over as global tags `COMMENT` & `ENCODER`
respectively.
* mkvmerge, MKVToolNix GUI's multiplexer: added an option to
stop processing after the primary video track ends called
`--stop-after-video-ends`. This discards any remaining
packets of other tracks.
* MKVToolNix GUI: multiplexer: automatically setting the
destination file name: added an option in the preferences
for using the first source file's directory name instead of
its file name as the basis for the destination
file name.
* MKVToolNix GUI: multiplexer: double-clicking on certain
columns in the "tracks" view will now toggle them directly
(columns "Default track" & "Forced track") or activate the
corresponding control (columns "Language", "Name" &
"Delay"). Double-clicks on other columns will do what
they've done before, too: toggling the "Copy item" state.
* MKVToolNix GUI: the dialog for editing language tags is now
created only the first time the user wants to edit a
language tag & cached afterwards instead of creating a new
instance each time. This makes subsequent uses instant.
Bug fixes:
* mkvmerge: mkvmerge will now only try to probe for VobSubs if
the name of the file to identify ends in either `.idx` or
`.sub`, preventing mis-identification of other file types if
VobSubs with the same base name exist in the same directory.
* mkvmerge: AC-3: mkvmerge will now skip certain types of
garbage data (16 bytes starting with 0x01 0x10) that can
occur before each sync frame, fixing the file not being
identified as AC-3.
* mkvmerge: Matroska reader: when reading files that use block
additions with IDs other than 1 (e.g. 4 for HDR for VP9) the
IDs will now be kept & written to the output file. Before no
ID would be written, effectively using 1 as that's the
default value for the corresponding element.
* mkvmerge: mkvmerge will no longer write block addition
mappings or the max block addition ID track header elements
when creating a WebM file as those elements aren't supported
there.
* mkvpropedit: fixed replacing chapters & tags in files that
don't contain tracks.
* Sun Mar 26 2023 Luigi Baldoni <aloisio@gmx.com>:
- Update to version 75.0.0
New features and enhancements:
* mkvmerge: MP4 reader: mkvmerge will now read Timed Text
(FourCC `tx3g`) subtitle tracks & convert them on the fly to
Matroska's simple text subtitle format (`S_TEXT/UTF8`; text
only, no styles).
Bug fixes:
* all: switched back to using `boost::filesystem` functions
for creating directories instead of the ones introduced to
work around bugs in `std::filesystem`. The latter didn't
work correctly with UNC paths after the switch to
`boost::filesystem::path` in v74.
* mkvmerge: VobSub reader: mkvmerge will now probe the `.idx`
file during VobSub identification even if the `.sub` file is
passed as the source. Avoids mis-detection of the `.sub` as
MPEG program streams.
* MKVToolNix GUI: the GUI could abort with an exception on
startup while looking for the `mkvmerge` or `mediainfo`
executables due to inaccessible folders.
* MKVToolNix GUI: preferences: when opening the preferences
the first time the UI might pre-select the first entry in
the list of interface languages if the operating system's
language is not available for MKVToolNix. This might also
happen on Linux if e.g. `en_GB` is set, even though `en_US`
is available. Now English (`en_US`) will be selected instead.
* MKVToolNix GUI: multiplexer: when adding files the GUI has
special handling for chapter/tags/segment info files. This is
done by comparing their content to certain patterns. This
recognition could wrongfully be triggered if any such file
was embedded in another file verbatim, e.g. with a chapter
XML file attachment in a Matroska file. When trying to add
that Matroska file, the GUI would treat it as a chapter file
instead of a regular one. This content-based detection was
fixed.
Other changes:
* mkvpropedit, GUI's header editor: removed support for the
deprecated "minimum cache" & "maximum cache" track header
elements.
* Thu Mar 16 2023 Max Lin <mlin@suse.com>
- Requires qt6-multimedia in Leap 15.5
* Sun Feb 12 2023 Luigi Baldoni <aloisio@gmx.com>
- Update to version 74.0.0
New features and enhancements:
* mkvmerge: SRT handling: added a hack called `--engage
keep_whitespaces_in_text_subtitles` which disables stripping
whitespaces from the start & end of each line of SRT entries
during muxing.
Bug fixes:
* all: Windows: UNC paths of type `\\?\C:\…` are supported
again by switching back to Boost's file system library
instead of using C++17's file system library.
* mkvmerge: AVC/H.264 & HEVC/H.265 packetizers: when appending
tracks the pixel dimensions will be checked & muxing will be
aborted if they don't match.
* mkvmerge: file type detection: file types that can be
detected unambiguously by their content (e.g. Matroska, MP4,
WAV…) will now preferred in the detection order over file
types based on their extension. Prevents certain cases of
mis-detection, e.g. DTS in WAV but with a file name
extension of `.dts` being detected as the wrong type of DTS.
* mkvmerge: SRT handling: whitespaces will now be stripped
from the start & the end of each line of each entry, not
just from the end of the last line.
* mkvextract: SRT extraction: whitespaces will not be stripped
from the start & end of the whole entry anymore.
* MKVToolNix GUI: multiplexer: when adding multiple files that
include certain file types (chapters, segment info and tag
files) and when the choice where to add them is "all files
to a single new tab", these certain file types will now be
added in the newly added tab as well instead of the current
tab that had already been open.
* build system: fixed compatibility with Ruby 3.2.0 by using
`FileTest.exist?` instead of `File.exists?`, `Dir.exists?` &
`FileTest.exists?` which were removed in that release.
Build system changes:
* MKVToolNix is now using & requiring Boost's "file system"
and "system" libraries again instead of C++17's file system
library. This is due to gcc's library not supporting UNC
paths of types `\\?\C:\dir\file.ext`.
* Tue Jan 03 2023 Luigi Baldoni <aloisio@gmx.com>
- Update to version 73.0.0
New features and enhancements:
* mkvmerge: greatly enhanced the speed of Base64 decoding
which is used used e.g. when reading pictures embedded in
Ogg or FLAC files or for binary data inside XML chapter &
tag files. Even small blocks of data could take unreasonably
long.
* mkvmerge: added support for reading HEVC/H.265 video from FLV
containers.
Bug fixes:
* mkvmerge: splitting: fixed a typo in the string output in
GUI mode regarding the timestamps before which splitting was
done.
* MKVToolNix GUI: job output: after having run multiple jobs
the "Clear output" functionality only reset the visible
parts. However, using the "save output" function would also
save the output generated before the user used "clear
output". Now only the output after the last use of "clear
output" is saved.
* build system: when probing for the FLAC library the Ogg
libraries will be linked with the compiled test program as
well. This fixes detection if the `pkg-config` settings for
FLAC don't list Ogg & the linker doesn't find the library
automatically.
