[Matroska-general] mkvtoolnix 0.8.0 released

[Moritz Bunkus]

Heya guys & maintainers,

I've released a new version of mkvtoolnix: 0.8.0. It is mainly a bug fix
release containing a number of small bug fixes (there was really no show
stopper this time ;)) but also support for the new and simpler tagging
system (still no tag editor, but it'll come soon).

As a side note to those interested: This release does already contain
code to create native MPEG4 files with proper B frame support and stuff,
but due to various reasons this code is not activated by default. It'll
come later. When I've got this working more or less then I'll probably
start workingon reading video from MP4 files.

Here's the ChangeLog since 0.7.9:
---------------------------------
2004-01-01  Moritz Bunkus  <moritz at bunkus.org>

	* Released v0.8.0.

2003-12-29  Moritz Bunkus  <moritz at bunkus.org>

	* mmg: bug fix: Fixed the "write chapters to Matroska file"
	feature.

	* mmg: bug fix: Made mmg not abort but only display an error
	message when malformed XML chapter files should be loaded.

2003-12-28  Moritz Bunkus  <moritz at bunkus.org>

	* mkvmerge: bug fix: The timescodes for Vorbis were calculated one
	packet too early (meaning that the first packet did not start at
	0).

	* mmg: Made "don't link" ON by default because some players might
	have problems with the second and all following files if they
	don't expect them not to start at 0.

	* mkvmerge, mkvextract, mkvinfo: Added support for the new tagging
	system.

	* mmg: bug fix: The default values for the chapter language and
	chapter country are now applied when loading simple (OGM) style
	chapter files as well.

	* mkvmerge: bug fix: The VobSub packetizer will assume MPEG2 if no
	MPEG version identifier was found ("Unsupported MPEG version:
	0x00...").

2003-12-23  Moritz Bunkus  <moritz at bunkus.org>

	* mkvmerge: There are MP4 files that actually contain HE-AAC but
	don't have the 5 byte identifier. mkvmerge will also assume SBR if
	there's only the 2 byte identifier with a sampling frequency <
	44100Hz.

2003-12-22  Moritz Bunkus  <moritz at bunkus.org>

	* mkvextract: bug fix: Wrong display output and illegal memory
	access when extracting FLAC files.

2003-12-17  Moritz Bunkus  <moritz at bunkus.org>

	* mmg: bug fix: If one added a Matroska file and the track name or
	language of a track consisted of only blanks then mmg would
	segfault. 

2003-12-15  Moritz Bunkus  <moritz at bunkus.org>

	* mmg: The input box will automatically select the first track
	when a file is selected. Upon track selection the input focus is
	set to the track name input box.

	* mmg: The chapter editor automatically focuses the chapter name
	input box whenever a chapter entry is selected.

	* mmg: bug fix: The chapter editor did not properly escape the
	chapter names resulting in invalid XML files if the special
	characters &, < or > were used.

2003-12-12  Moritz Bunkus  <moritz at bunkus.org>

	* mkvmerge: bug fix: If splitting was active then a wrong CodecID
	was written to the second and all following files for MP2 tracks.
