[Matroska-users] mkvtoolnix 2.7.0 released

[Moritz Bunkus]

Hey,

I've released mkvtoolnix v2.7.0. This is mostly a bug fix release but
also contains support for one of the most-often requested feature:
TrueHD/MLP audio tracks.

I recommend everyone to upgrade to v2.7.0, especially if you're using
the header editor introduced in v2.6.0.

Here are the usual links...

Here's the full ChangeLog since release 2.6.0:

------------------------------------------------------------
2009-04-14  Moritz Bunkus  <moritz at bunkus.org>

	* Released v2.7.0.

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

2009-04-13  Moritz Bunkus  <moritz at bunkus.org>

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

2009-04-11  Moritz Bunkus  <moritz at bunkus.org>

	* 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.

2009-04-08  Moritz Bunkus  <moritz at bunkus.org>

	* 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.

2009-04-05  Moritz Bunkus  <moritz at bunkus.org>

	* 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.

2009-03-30  Moritz Bunkus  <moritz at bunkus.org>

	* 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'.

2009-03-29  Moritz Bunkus  <moritz at bunkus.org>

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

2009-03-25  Moritz Bunkus  <moritz at bunkus.org>

	* 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.

2009-03-24  Moritz Bunkus  <moritz at bunkus.org>

	* 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.

Have fun.
