Hey,
I've released mkvtoolnix v4.1.0. This release features a couple of bug
fixes and enhancements especially in combination with WebM and full
support for PGS/SUP subtitles. There's a new translation of the programs
into Spanish and of the manual pages into Dutch. The Russian translation
has received a huge update.
There are a couple of changes for package maintainers:
1. the new translations I've mentioned,
2. new .desktop and .xml files for menu and MIME type integration
(installed into $datadir/applications and $datadir/mime/packages
respectively; they're only installed if the GUIs are activated)
3. icons for the GUI applications (installed into
$datadir/icons/hicolor/<size>; they're only installed if the GUIs are
activated)

Here's the full ChangeLog since release 4.0.0:
------------------------------------------------------------
2010-07-01 Moritz Bunkus <moritz at bunkus.org>
* Released v4.1.0.
2010-06-28 Moritz Bunkus <moritz at bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed reading AVC/h.264 tracks from AVI files
if they're stored in NALUs inside the AVI.
2010-06-26 Moritz Bunkus <moritz at bunkus.org>
* Build system: enhancement: Improved the error reporting if
certain Boost libraries are not found.
2010-06-25 Moritz Bunkus <moritz at bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: enhancement: mkvmerge will report if it finds data
errors in a Matroska file (e.g. due to storage failure or bad
downloads). The position is reported as well as a periodic update
as long as mkvmerge re-syncs to the next Matroska element.
* mmg: enhancement: The "compression" drop down box is enabled for
all track types. That way "no compression" can be forced for those
tracks mkvmerge uses "header removal" compression for.
2010-06-23 Moritz Bunkus <moritz at bunkus.org>
* mmg: bug fix: Matroska files read from/written to by the header
and chapter editors will no longer be kept opened and locked. Fix
for bug 498.
* mmg: bug fix: If mmg was called with "--edit-headers
filename.mkv" then it crashed when the header editor was closed.
2010-06-21 Moritz Bunkus <moritz at bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: enhancement: mkvmerge will start a new cluster before
a key frame of the first video track. Fix for bug 500.
* mkvmerge: enhancement: The default cluster length has been
increased to five seconds (up from two seconds).
2010-06-20 Moritz Bunkus <moritz at bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: mkvmerge will no longer report nonsensical
progress reports (e.g. -17239182%) when reading Matroska files
with all the flags "--no-audio --no-video --no-subtitles"
enabled. Fix for bug 505.
* mmg: bug fix: Fixed a crash in the job runner when the total
time was very big due to a division by zero.
* mkvmerge: enhancement: Implemented write caching resulting in
faster muxes especially on Windows writing to network shares.
2010-06-18 Moritz Bunkus <moritz at bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: new feature: Added support for reading PGS subtitles
from PGS/SUP files.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Specifying an FPS with "--default-duration"
for AVC/h264 tracks in AVI files did not work. Fix for bug 492.
2010-06-15 Moritz Bunkus <moritz at bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed an invalid memory access possibly
causing a crash in the AC3 detection code.
2010-06-14 Moritz Bunkus <moritz at bunkus.org>
* mmg: bug fix: Changing mmg's interface language did not change
the entries in the "command line options" dialog if that dialog
had been opened prior to the language change.
2010-06-12 Moritz Bunkus <moritz at bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: enhancement: mkvmerge uses header removal compression
by default for AC3, DTS, MP3, Dirac and MPEG-4 part 2 tracks.
* all: Added desktop files for mmg/mkvinfo, a MIME type file for
.mmg files and icons to the installation procedure on Linux. Most
files were contributed by Cristian Morales Vega (see AUTHORS).
* all: Added a translation of the programs into Spanish by Isra
Lucas (see AUTHORS).
2010-06-11 Moritz Bunkus <moritz at bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed access to uninitialized memory when
reading DTS tracks from AVI and Matroska files.
2010-06-10 Moritz Bunkus <moritz at bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The Matroska reader will use the MPEG audio
packetizer for MP2 tracks instead of the passthrough packetizer.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The Matroska reader did not handle compressed
tracks correctly if the passthrough packetizer was used.
2010-06-08 Moritz Bunkus <moritz at bunkus.org>
* docs: Added a Dutch translation for the man pages by René
Maassen (see AUTHORS).
2010-06-07 Moritz Bunkus <moritz at bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The handling of Matroska files in which the
'default track flag' is not present has been fixed.
------------------------------------------------------------
Have fun.
