Hey y’all,
let’s do a second release in January, fixing a couple of annoyances that crept in lately. Just a smaller maintenance release; nothing earth shattering. But see for yourself down below.
Nothing’s changed for package managers.
You can download the source code or one of the binaries. The Windows and macOS binaries as well as the Linux AppImage are available already. The other Linux binaries are stil being built and will be available over the course of the next couple of hours.
Here are the NEWS since the previous release:
New features and enhancements
- MKVToolNix GUI: using one of the command line options
--info
,--edit-headers
or--edit-chapters
will make the GUI select the
corresponding tool on startup even if no further file name is
given. Implements #2723. - MKVToolNix GUI: multiplexer: added a setting in the preferences for changing
the location of the MediaInfo executable for when the user accidentally
selected the wrong one.
Mkvtoolnix Windows
Bug fixes
- mkvmerge: AVC/h.264 parser: the order of the NALUs before each key frame was
sometimes wrong: mkvmerge wrote SPS & PPS after SEI NALUs. Now SPS & PPS
NALUs are always written before the other NALUs. Patch by Torsten
Hauska. Part of the implementation of #2709 and part of the fix of #2250. - mkvmerge: AVC/h.264 parser: when additional SPS or PPS NALUs (with IDs that
haven’t been seen so far) are found mid-stream, mkvmerge will prepend all
following key frames with all current valid SPS & PPS NALUs (just like when
SPS & PPS NALUs are overwritten mid-stream). Part of the fix of #2250. - mkvmerge: MPEG TS reader: fixed detection of MPEG-1/2 video tracks
consisting of very few frames. Fixes #2732. - mkvmerge: Ogg Opus reader: fixed the handling of Ogg Opus streams that
contain a just one Ogg page (mkvmerge
aborted with an exception). Fixes
#2722. - MKVToolNix GUI: multiplexer: dragging & dropping XML files with chapters or
tags to the GUI’s window was broken in v42. Instead of adding the file names
to the appropriate input boxes the GUI was running mkvmerge for file
identification purposes which then failed. Fixes #2718.
Have fun :)
