Version history:
2008-03-04Moritz Bunkus
* Released v2.2.0.

2008-02-29Moritz Bunkus
* mkvmerge: new feature: Added support for handling AC3 in WAV in ACM mode.

2008-02-28Moritz Bunkus
* mkvmerge: new feature: Added support for reading AC3 from QuickTime/MP4 files. Fix for bug 254.

2008-02-27Moritz Bunkus
* mkvmerge: new feature: Added support for handling AC3 in WAV in IEC 61937 compatible streams (aka SPDIF mode).
* mkvmerge: new feature: Added support for WAV files with multiple data chunks.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed a cause for the error message "no data chunk found" by fixing the skipping of 'fmt ' chunks.

2008-02-23Moritz Bunkus
* mkvmerge: new feature: Added support for AAC-in-AVI with CodecID 0x706d as created by mencoder. Fix for bug 266.

2008-02-20Moritz Bunkus
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Rewrote the OGM reader code. Another part of a fix for bug 267.

* mkvmerge: bug fix: If subtitle files are appended to separate
video files (e.g. two AVI and two SRT files) then the subtitle
timecodes of the second and all following subtitle files were
based on the last timecode in the first subtitle file instead of
the last timecode in the first video file. Fix for bug 325.

* mkvmerge: bug fix: Due to uninitialized variables mkvmerge would
report OGM files as having arbitrary display dimensions. Fix for
bug 326.

* mkvmerge, mmg: enhancement: Implemented MIME type detection for
attachments with libmagic on Windows.

* mkvmerge: bug fix: If a Matroska file containing attachments was
used as an input file and splitting was enabled then the
attachments were only written to the first output file. Now
they're written to each output file. Partial fix for bug 324.

* mkvmerge: enhancement: Decreased the time mkvmerge needs for
parsing Quicktime/MP4 header fields.

* mkvmerge: bug fix: The parser for the simple chapter
format (CHAPTERxx=...) can now handle more than 100 chapters. Fix
for bug 320.

* mmg: bug fix: The commands "Save command line" and "Create
option file" did not save mmg's current state but the state it was
in when the command "Show command line" was last used or when mmg
was started.


* mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed a crash (segfault) with MPEG-4 part 2
video if "--engage native_mpeg4" is used. Fix for bug 318.

* Windows installer: The installer cleans up leftovers from old
installations during an upgrade. It doesn't write registry entries
for an exe called "AppMainExe.exe" anymore. It asks whether or not
the user wants a shortcut on the desktop. It does not install the
document for base64tool anymore because base64tool itself isn't
installed anymore either. Fixes for bugs 314, 315, 316 and 317.

* mmg: bug fix: Fixed a compilation problem with non-Unicode
enabled wxWidgets. Fix for bug 313.

* mkvmerge: new feature: Added support for reading the pixel
aspect ratio from Theora video tracks.

* Released v2.5.2.

* installer: bug fix: If the installer is run in silent mode
(switch "/S") then it will not ask the user whether or not to
place a shortcut on the desktop, and that shortcut will not be
created. Fix for bug 345.

* mmg: new feature: Added two buttons "enable all" and "disable
all" to the list of attached files that enable / disable all
attached files.

* mmg: bug fix: The action "File" -> "New" did not clear the
internal list of attached files resulting in unexpected behaviour
if files with attachments where added afterwards.

* mmg: bug fix: The button "remove all files" did not clear the
list of attached files.

* mkvinfo: new feature: Made mkvinfo's GUI translatable. Added a
German translation for the GUI.

* mmg: On Linux wxWidgets 2.8.0 and newer uses the GTK combo boxes
which suck. A lot. Therefore mmg uses wxBitmapComboBoxes for
wxWidgets >= 2.8.0 on Linux and normal wxComboBoxes in all other
cases. wxBitmapComboBoxes are still drawn by wxWidgets itself
(just like wxComboBoxes before 2.8.0) and offer much better
functionality. Fix for bug 339.

* mkvmerge, mmg: bug fix: The MIME type autodetection for
attachments was broken for paths with non-ASCII characters on
non-UTF-8 encoded systems (mostly on Windows). Fix for bug 340.

* source: various fixes for compilation with wxWidgets 2.9.

* all programs: bug fix: The locale was not detected properly
often resulting in the program aborting with the message that
"the locale could not be set properly". Fix for bug 338.

* mmg: bug fix: Fixed the selection of the translation to use if
the LC_MESSAGES environment variable has been set on Windows.



* Released v2.5.0.

* mmg: bug fix: Fixed a crash during the check if files could be
overwritten by the next mux. Possible fix for bugs 335 and 336.

* mkvmerge, mkvinfo, mkvextract, mmg: Made all those programs
nearly completly translatable. Added a German translation for all
four programs (only for the programs, not for the static
documentation: man pages, the guide to mmg etc).

* mkvmerge, mmg: new feature: Added options ('-m' /
'--attachments' and its counterparts '-M' / '--no-attachments')
to mkvmerge for selecting which attachments to copy and which to
skip and the corresponding controls to mmg.


* mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed the detection of AAC files whose first
AAC header does not start on the first byte of the file.


* mmg: bug fix: It was possible to crash mmg by clicking onto the
root element in the chapter editor.


* mkvextract: bug fix: During timecode extraction mkvextract wrote
large timecodes in scientific notation.

* mkvmerge, mkvextract, mmg: bug fix: If the environment variables
LANG, LC_ALL, LC_MESSAGES contained a locale that was supported by
the system but for which mkvtoolnix did not contain a translation
(e.g. fr_FR, it_IT, en_AU) then the programs would abort with an
error message. Fix for bug 338.

* mkvmerge: bug fix: Appending raw AVC/ES files resulted in
segmentation faults. Fix for bug 344.

* mkvmerge: bug fix: When mkvmerge was run with the --attachments
option to copy only some of the attachments in a Matroska file
then any attachment with an ID larger than the first skipped
attachment ID was not copied into the new file. Fix for bug 346.

* mmg: new feature: Added a header editor for Matroska files.

* mkvextract: bug fix: The "simple" chapter extraction mode (OGM
style chapter output) outputs strings converted to the system's
current charset by default now instead of always converting to
UTF-8. This can be overridden with the "--output-charset" command
line option. Fix for bug 359.

* mkvmerge: bug fix: QuickTime audio tracks will be stored with
the CodecID "A_QUICKTIME". The CodecPrivate element contains the
full "STSD" element from the QuickTime file (just like
V_QUICKTIME). This method is used for all audio tracks which don't
have a well-defined storage spec for Matroska (e.g. AAC, AC3,
MP2/3 are still stored as A_AC3, A_AAC etc). Hopefully a fix for
bugs 354 and 357.

* mkvmerge: bug fix: The CodecPrivate element for QuickTime video
tracks like Sorenson Video Codecs contained wrong data. Fix for
bug 355.

* all: Added a Japanese translation by Hiroki Taniura (see
AUTHORS).

* mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed detection of little endian PCM tracks
in MOV files. Fix for bug 356.

* mkvextract: bug fix: The charset for text output was not
initialized correctly resulting in garbled display of non-ASCII
characters in non-UTF-8 locales.

* all: bug fix: A couple of translated strings were converted from
the wrong locale when they were displayed.

* mmg, mkvinfo: The GUIs now require an Unicode-enabled version of
wxWidgets.

* all: bug fix: The tools use the API call "GetOEMCP()" on Windows
instead of "GetACP()". This should make messages output in cmd.exe
come out correctly for Windows versions for which cmd.exe uses a
different code page than the rest (e.g. on German Windows).

* mkvinfo: enhancement: If mkvinfo is started in GUI mode on
Windows then the console that was started with it will be closed.

* mkvinfo: bug fix: Chapter names and tag elements were recoded to
the wrong charset resulting in garbled output. Fix for bug 353.

* Released v2.7.0.

* Build requirements changed: mkvtoolnix requires Boost v1.32.0 or
later.

* mkvmerge: mkvmerge will now use SimpleBlock elements instead of
normal BlockGroup elements by default.

* mkvmerge, mmg: new feature: Added support for the "forced track"
flag. Fix for bug 128.

* mmg: bug fix: The header editor and chapter editor will not
write zero bytes anymore if there's not enough space to write an
EbmlVoid element when saving to Matroska files.

* mkvmerge: By default mkvmerge keeps the aspect ratio information
in AVC/h.264 video bitstreams now (equivalent to specifying
"--engage keep_bitstream_ar_info" in earlier versions). A new
option "--engage remove_bitstream_ar_info" is available that
restores the previous behaviour.

* mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed the aspect ratio extraction for
AVC/h.264 video by adding three more pre-defined sample aspect
ratios. Mkvmerge also only assumes "free aspect ratio" if the
aspect ratio type information indicates it and not if the
type information is unknown.

* mmg: new feature: Added drag & drop support for the header
editor (files can be opened by dropping them on the header
editor).

* mkvmerge: new feature: Added support for reading the track
language from QuickTime/MP4 files. Thanks to Eduard Bloch for the
code for unpacking the language string.

* mmg: bug fix: All arguments are shell escaped and quoted instead
of only those with spaces in them. Only applies to the menu
options "show command line", "save command line to file" and "copy
command line to clipboard". Fix for bug 364.

* mkvmerge, mkvextract: new feature: Added support for MLP audio.

* mmg: bug fix: When adding a file with colons in the segment
title all colons were replaced with the letter 'c'.

* mkvmerge, mkvetract: new feature: Added support for TrueHD audio
(read from raw streams with or without embedded AC3 frames, MPEG
program streams).

* mmg: bug fix: The job manager's status output was garbled if mmg
was run with another language as English.

* mmg: bug fix: The progress bar for each individual job in the
job dialog wasn't updated if mmg was run with another language as
English.

* mmg: bug fix: The timecodes in the job queue editor were off by
one month. The "added job on" was additionally off by an amount
depending on the user's time zone. Fix for bug 362.

* mkvmerge: bug fix: The MPEG program stream (VOB/EVO) reader was
sometimes reading the timecodes wrong resulting in bad audio/video
synchronization. Fix for bug 337.

* all: Added a translation to Chinese (simplified) by Dean
Lee (see AUTHORS).

* mkvmerge: enhancement: Added support for handling AC3 audio in
MP4 files with the FourCC "sac3" (as created by e.g. Nero Recode
v3/4). Fix for bug 384.

* mkvmerge, mmg: enhancement: Made mmg's "FPS" input field
available for all video tracks. mkvmerge's corresponding option
"--default-duration" now not only modifies the track header field
but affects the frame timecodes as well.

* mkvmerge: bug fix: The VobSub reader was dropping the very last
MPEG packet possibly resulting in the very last subtitle entry
being garbled or discarded completely. Patch by Todd Schmuland.

* mmg: enhancement: Added "60000/1001" as a pre-defined option to
the "FPS" drop-down box.

* mmg (header editor): bug fix: The header editor controls on the
right stopped responding after the second file had been loaded or
the "reload file" feature had been used. Fix for bug 372.

* mmg: new feature: Added an option for clearing all inputs after
a successful muxing run.

* mkvmerge: bug fix: Made the AAC detection code stricter in what
it accepts. This results in fewer mis-detections. Fix for bugs 373
and 374.

* mkvmerge: bug fix: Splitting without the option "--engage
no_simpleblocks" resulted in broken files: all frames were marked
as B frames. Fix for bug 371.

* mkvinfo: bug fix: Timecodes of SimpleBlock elements that were
output formatted in summary mode were too small by a factor of
1000000.

* mkvmerge: bug fix: The duration of subtitle frames was
overwritten with the difference between the next frame's timecode
and the current frame's timecode if a timecode file was used for
that track. Fix for bug 286.

* mmg: bug fix: Removed the option "always use simple blocks" from
the preferences dialog as this option was already removed from
mkvmerge. Fix for bug 370.

* all: Added a translation to Traditional Chinese by Dean
Lee (see AUTHORS).

* mkvmerge: bug fix: mkvmerge was not handling dropped frames well
when converting from VfW-mode MPEG-4 part 2 to native mode MPEG-4
part 2 (with '--engage native_mpeg4'). This resulted in timecodes
being to low which in turn resulted in the loss of audio/video
synchronization. Fix for bug 236.

* mkvextract: bug fix: The modes 'chapters', 'cuesheet' and 'tags'
did not honor the '--redirect-output' option and where always
writing to the standard output.

* mkvmerge: new feature: Added a hack ('vobsub_subpic_stop_cmds')
that causes mkvmerge to add 'stop display' commands to VobSub
subtitle packets that do not have a duration field. Patch by Todd
Schmuland (see AUTHORS).

* mmg: enhancement: Changed how mmg sets the output file name if
automatically if the option is enabled. If the user adds more than
one file then the output file name is set each time a file is
added and not only when the first one is unless the user has
changed the output file name manually. Fix for bug 229.

* mkvmerge: enhancement: Improved support for QuickTime audio
tracks with version 2 of the STSD sound descriptor.

* mmg: bug fix: The "remove all" button was sometimes disabled
even though there were still files left to be removed.

* mkvmerge: enhancement: The MPEG program stream reader will now
detect invalid padding packets and skip only to the next 2048 byte
packet boundary instead of skipping several good packets. Patch by
Todd Schmuland (see AUTHORS).

* mmg: enhancement: The "no chapters" checkbox can now be used for
QuickTime/MP4 files and OGM files as well.

* mkvmerge: enhancement: The OGM reader will only print the
warning that no chapter charset has been set by the user if the
title or the chapter information contained in the OGM file is
actually used and not overwritten with '--title ...' or
'--no-chapters'.

* mkvextract: bug fix: The VobSub extraction was made more
compatible with most applications. Fix for bug 245. Patch by Todd
Schmuland (see AUTHORS).

* mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed support for Windows systems that use
code pages that are not supported by the iconv library (e.g. code
page 720). mkvmerge was exiting with warnings causing mmg to
report that file identification had failed. Fix for bug 376.

*mkvmerge: new feature: Added support for handling MPEG-1/-2
video in AVI files. Fix for bug 388.

* all: bug fix: Global variables are deconstructed in a
pre-defined way no longer causing segfaults when the programs are
about to exit.

* mkvmerge: enhancement: Implemented small speedups for some
common memory operation (affects e.g. the MPEG program stream
parser).

* mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed potential and actual segmentation
faults occuring when appending VC-1 video tracks, Dirac video
tracks and DTS audio tracks.

* mmg: bug fix: The header and chapter editors will no longer
crash the application if the user wants to open a file that's
locked by another process and show an error message instead.

* mkvmerge: enhancement: Invalid VobSub packets whose internal SPU
length field differs from its actual length are patched so that
the SPU length field matches the actual length. This fixes
playback issues with several players and filters. Fix for bug
383.

* mkvmerge: new feature: Added support for reading chapters from
MP4 files. Fix for bug 385.

2009-06-06 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>

* mkvmerge: bug fix: The handling of TrueHD/MLP audio in MPEG
program streams was broken resulting in many dropped packets.

* all: bug fix: There was the possibility that invalid memory
access occured and e.g. mkvmerge crashed on systems with the
posix_fadvise() function (mainly Linux) if mkvmerge was opening
several files from certain file systems (e.g. VFAT). Apart from
obvious crashes the only other side effect was that the
posix_fadvise() function would not be used resulting in slightly
worse I/O performance.

2009-05-31 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>

* mkvmerge: new feature: Improved the control over which tags get
copied from a source file to the output file. The old option
"--no-tags" was replaced with the new options "--no-global-tags"
which causes global tags not to be copied and "--no-track-tags"
which causes track specific tags to not be copied. The new option
"--track-tags" can be used to select tracks for which tags will be
copied. The default is still to copy all existing tags.

* mkvmerge: new feature: Included chapters, global and track
specific tracks in the output of mkvmerge's identification mode.

* mkvmerge: Renamed a couple of command line options to make the
command line interface more consistent: "--no-audio",
"--no-video", "--no-subtitles", "--no-buttons", "--audio-tracks",
"--video-tracks", "--subtitle-tracks", "--button-tracks". The old
versions of these options "--noaudio", "--novideo", "--nosubs",
"--nobuttons", "--atracks", "--vtracks", "--stracks" and
"--btracks" still work.

* mkvmerge: bug fix: The sequence header of MPEG-1/2 video tracks
is put into the CodecPrivate again while still leaving sequence
headers in the bitstream as well. This is more compatible with
some existing parsers.

2009-05-30 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>

* mmg: bug fix: Removed the check if the user has added
tracks and files before starting mkvmerge because mkvmerge itself
is able to create track-less files (e.g. chapters only). Fix for
bug 402.

* mkvmerge: bug fix: Improved the handling of consecutive AC3
packets with the same timecode (e.g. if AC3 is read from MP4
files). Fix for bug 403.

2009-05-27 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>

* mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed an endless loop in the TrueHD code
occuring when the TrueHD stream is damaged somewhere.

2009-05-26 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>

* mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed the detection of MPEG transport streams
with other packet sizes than 188 bytes (e.g. 192 and 204 bytes).

2009-05-24 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>

* mkvmerge: bug fix: The detection of invalid padding packet
lengths in the MPEG program stream reader was improved to not
produce as many false positives. Patch by Todd Schmuland (see
AUTHORS). Fix for bug 393.

2009-05-23 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>

* mkvmerge: new feature: Added support for the FourCCs ".mp3" and
"XVID" in QuickTime files.

* mmg: bug fix: Pressing 'return' in the job dialog will close the
dialog on Windows, too. Fix for bug 392.

2009-05-22 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>

* mmg: bug fix: Fixed the behaviour of how mmg sets the output
file name automatically if the option is enabled. If the user adds
more than one file then the extension of the output file name is
set each time a file is added and not only when the first one
is. The full file name and path will only be set when the first
file is added. Fix for bug 391.

2009-06-28 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>

* mkvmerge: bug fix: The handling of NVOPs in native MPEG4 part 2
video storage has been improved. NVOPs are dropped again both from
packed and non-packed bitstreams, and timecodes are adjusted to
match the number of dropped frames.

2009-06-25 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>

* mmg: The "preferences" dialog has been split up into several
tabs. Some other preferences available in other dialogs have been
merged into the "preferences" dialog.

* mkvmerge: bug fix: The I frame detection for AVC/h.264 video has
been fixed. Sometimes a single I frame was recognized as two or
more consecutive I frames resulting in garbled display and wrong
timestamps. Fix for bug 415.

2009-06-23 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>

* mmg: new feature: The list of common languages can be configured
by the user via the 'preferences' dialog.

2009-06-22 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>

* all: bug fix: The programs do not try to close iconv handles -1
anymore which resulted in segfault during uninitialization on some
platforms (e.g. FreeBSD, Mac OS X). Fix for bug 412.

2009-06-21 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>

* mkvmerge: bug fix: Complete rewrite of the code for the native
storage mode for MPEG4 part 2 video tracks. Fix for bug 298.

2009-06-18 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>

* mkvmerge: bug fix: Made the detection rules for raw MP3, AC3 and
AAC audio files more strict. This avoids a mis-detection of
certain files, e.g. AVC/h.264 ES files being misdetected as MP3
files. Fix for bug 414.

2009-06-14 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>

* mkvmerge: bug fix: Appending MP4 or OGM files with chapters will
merge the chapters from all appended files and not just take the
chapters from the first file and discard the chapters from the
following files. Fix for bug 397.

* mkvmerge, mmg: new feature: The language for chapters read from
files such as OGM and MP4 files can be chosen with the
--chapter-language command line option. Fix for bug 399.

* mkvmerge, mmg: new feature: Chapter and tag information
contained in source files are now shown in the "track" selection
box and can be toggled individually. The user can set the charset
for chapters if the source file's chapters are not encoded in
UTF-8 (e.g. in some OGM/MP4 files). The old file specific
checkboxes "no tags" and "no chapters" have been removed. Fix for
bug 400.

2009-06-13 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>

* mmg: bug fix: The chapter editor was corrupting Matroska files
if the chapters were saved to a file twice in a row without
reloading them from the Matroska file.

2009-06-09 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>

* mmg: enhancement: If the user selects the option "Verify" from
the "Chapters" menu then a message will be shown even if the
validation succeeded. Fix for bug 410.

* mmg/mkvmerge: bug fix: Adding MP4 files with chapter entries
that are not encoded in UTF-8 will not result in mkvmerge aborting
with a message about invalid UTF-8 sequences anymore. Fix for bug
408.

* mmg: bug fix: The inputs for timecode files and the language are deactivated if the user has selected a track that will be appended to another track. Fix for bug 432.

* mmg: bug fix: mmg will handle multiple consecutive spaces in the options given with "add command line options" properly and not cause mkvmerge to exit with misleading error messages anymore. The "add command line options" dialog has been reordered, and the drop down box in it is now read-only. Fixes for bug 429.
* doc, mmg: bug fix: The tooltip and documentation for the 'delay' option was misleading. Fix for bug 420.

* mmg/header editor: enhancement: Implemented a considerable speedup in the processing of large files.

* mmg/header editor: bug fix: The header editor copes better with files that do not contain all mandatory header fields. The missing ones are added or assumed to be default values.

* all: bug fix: Selecting the translations with the "--ui-language" option did not work on Mac OS X.

* mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed an invalid memory access in the VobSub reader module. Fix for bug 426.
* mmg: bug fix: Tracks added from Matroska files did not get their 'default track' drop down box set correctly if the flag was 'off' in the source file and no other track of its kind hat its 'default track' flag set.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: mkvmerge was wrongly turning the 'default track' flag back on for the first subtitle track muxed from a Matroska file if none of the subtitle tracks muxed had their 'default track' flag set in their source files and if the user didn't use the '--default-track' option for setting that flag explicitely.

* mmg: bug fix: Running mkvmerge on Windows from an installation directory with two spaces in the path (e.g. "C:\Program Files\Video tools\mkvtolnix") crashed mmg when the user started muxing. Fix for bug 419.

*mmg: bug fix: Files for which all tracks were disabled were left out from mkvmerge's command line so that tags, chapters and attachments were not copied from such files either.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Appending MPEG4 part 2 video tracks from Matroska files which contain aspect ratio information will not result in an error message "connected_to > 0" anymore. Fix for bug 427.

* mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed the audio sync for tracks read from AVI files containing garbage at the beginning. Fix for bug 421.
* mmg: bug fix: Trying to save chapters that contain editions without a single chapter entry does no longer result in a crash but a descriptive error message instead. Saving empty chapters to a Matroska file will remove all chapters contained in the file instead of not doing anything. Fixes for bug 422.

* mkvinfo: enhancement: Implemented speed-ups of up to 50% for middle to larger files.

* mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed reading AVC/h.264 video tracks from OGM files. Fix for bug 418.
* mmg: bug fix: The chapter language for chapters copied from source files (e.g. Matroska, MP4 or OGM files) is only changed if the user has selected any language other than "und". Fix for bug 420.
* mmg: bug fix: mmg will no longer show an error message if the user has not selected a country in the "chapters" tab of the preferences dialog.

2009-11-11Moritz Bunkus
* mmg: bug fix: The warning that no FPS has been entered for AVC/h.264 elementary streams is not shown anymore for appended tracks (only once for the first track that they're appended to).

2009-10-25Moritz Bunkus
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The pixel cropping parameters were not kept when muxing from Matroska files.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The display width/height parameters were not kept when muxing from Matroska files if the bitstream of the track contained different aspect ratio information. Now the order is "command line" first, "source container" second and "bitstream" first.

2009-09-04Moritz Bunkus
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed the subtitle track selection for AVI files.

2009-08-23Moritz Bunkus
* mkvmerge: enhancement: A single '+' causes the next file to be appended just like putting the '+' in front of the file name.

2009-08-21Moritz Bunkus
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The integrated help ('--help') contained wrong information about the '--sync' option. Fix for bug 435.

2009-08-18Moritz Bunkus
* mmg: enhancement: The file dialogs for 'add file'/'append file' will show files with extensions in all uppercase as well. This only applies to file systems that distinguish between case (e.g. most of the non-Windows, non-FAT world). Fix for bug 433.

2009-08-16Moritz Bunkus
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Missing ChapterLanguage elements were assumed to be set to "und". They're now assumed to be "eng" in accordance with the Matroska specifications.
* Added a new program 'mkvpropedit' that can modify certain properties of existing Matroska files. It is mmg's header editor, just for the command line.

2009-12-12Moritz Bunkus
* Released v3.0.0.
* mmg: enhancement: Added support for showing the muxing progress for both normal muxes and the job manager in Windows 7's taskbar.

2009-12-06Moritz Bunkus
* all: bug fix: The charset for output in cmd.exe for non-English interface languages has been fixed on Windows Vista and Windows 7.
* all: enhancement for Windows platforms: If one of the mkvtoolnix components is run without having been installed before then translations will be read from the directory the .exe is run from.

2009-12-05Moritz Bunkus
* configure: Added an option ('--without-build-timestamp') that omits the build timestamp from all version information so that two builds of mkvtoolnix can be byte-identical.

2010-01-11 Moritz Bunkus
* mkvmerge: bug fix: If the first input file was a Quicktime/MP4 file and all tracks from that file were deselected for muxing then mkvmerge would crash. Fix for bug 458.

2010-01-09 Moritz Bunkus
* mmg: bug fix: The option 'AAC is SBR/HE-AAC' was not honored for appended AAC tracks. This could lead to mkvmerge aborting with an error that the track parameters did not match if it itself could not detect HE-AAC in the second file.

2010-01-06 Moritz Bunkus
* documentation: Added a Chinese Simplified translation for mmg's guide by Dean Lee (see AUTHORS).

2010-01-05 Moritz Bunkus

2010-01-02 Moritz Bunkus
* mmg: enhancement: When constructing the output file name mmg will only suggest names that don't exist already by appending a number to the file name (e.g. resulting in "/path/file (1).mkv").

2009-12-30 Moritz Bunkus
* mkvmerge: new feature: Added support for reading chapters from MP4 files that are stored in tracks with subtype 'text'. Such files are used e.g. on iPods/iPhones and can be created by HandBrake. Fix for bug 454.

* mmg: bug fix: The jobs will be saved in the 'mkvtoolnix/jobs' sub-directory of the 'application data' folder instead of the 'jobs' folder in the current directory. On Windows this is the special 'application data' folder inside the user's profile directory, e.g. 'C:\Users\mbunkus\AppData\mkvtoolnix'. On non-Windows systems this is the folder '.mkvtoolnix' in the user's home directory. mmg's configuration file has also been moved from ~/.mkvmergeGUI to ~/.mkvtoolnix/config on non-Windows systems. Fix for bug 466.

2010-01-28 Moritz Bunkus
* mkvextract: bug fix: Files are only opened for reading, not for writing, so that mkvextract will work on files the user only has read-only permissions for.
* mkvextract: bug fix: Modes 'attachments', 'chapters', 'tags' and 'cuesheet': mkvextract will output an error message if the file cannot be opened (e.g. because it does not exist or due to lack of access).

2010-01-24 Moritz Bunkus
* mmg: enhancement: Changing the interface language does not require a restart anymore.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Reading VOB files bigger than 4 GB was broken in v3.1.0 on 32bit platforms.

2010-02-18 Moritz Bunkus
