Hey,
I've released mkvtoolnix v5.2.1. It corrects a nasty inconsistency
regarding track IDs between mkvmerge and mkvextract, improves
performance on Linux quite a bit by not caching data twice and fixes a
few smaller issues here and there.
There were no changes that concern package maintainers.
Here are the usual links...

...to the source code:

...to the Windows installer and 7zip archive:

http://www.bunkus.org/videotools/mkvtoolnix/win32/mkvtoolnix-unicode-5.2.1.7z
All of the Linux binaries that I provide have already been built and
are available.
Here's the full ChangeLog since release 5.2.0:
------------------------------------------------------------------
2012-01-02 Moritz Bunkus <moritz at bunkus.org>
* Released v5.2.1.
2011-12-29 Moritz Bunkus <moritz at bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed certain DTS files being mis-detected as
AC3. Fix for bug 693.
2011-12-28 Moritz Bunkus <moritz at bunkus.org>
* build system: Added an option "--without-gettext" that allows
for building without support for translations even if gettext
itself is installed.
* build system: Added an option "--without-curl" that allows for
building without CURL support even if CURL itself is installed.
* all: bug fix: Fixed compilation if gettext/libintl is not
available.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The MPEG program stream reader was reporting
wrong progress percentage if multiple files were used since
v5.1.0.
2011-12-27 Moritz Bunkus <moritz at bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: enhancement: Removed the posix_fadvise() code. The
application is using its own caching code which caused bad
performance if the OS caching provided via posix_fadvise() is used
as well.
2011-12-25 Moritz Bunkus <moritz at bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: If an MP4 file contains chapters encoded in a
different charset than UTF-8 and --chapter-charset is not used
then the error message shown is a lot clearer why mkvmerge aborts
muxing. Before the error message was a generic
"mm_text_io_c::read_next_char(): invalid UTF-8 character. The
first byte:..."
* mkvmerge: bug fix: MPEG program streams in which a track
suddenly ends and others continue or in which a track has huge
gaps will no longer cause mkvmerge to try to read the whole file
at once. This could lead to excessive swapping and finally
mkvmerge crashing if no more memory was available.
2011-12-24 Moritz Bunkus <moritz at bunkus.org>
* mkvextract: bug fix: The track IDs used for extraction are
consistent again with the IDs that mkvmerge's identification
reports. Fix for bug 689.
2011-12-21 Moritz Bunkus <moritz at bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Fix compilation if FLAC is not available. Fix
for issue #13.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Have fun.
Kind regards,
