Version 41.0.0 "Smarra"
New features and enhancements
* mkvmerge: Matroska reader: Vorbis tracks: stream comments (aka Vorbis
comments) will be converted to Matroska attachments (for cover arts) and
Matroska track tags (for other comments). Additionally the stream comments
will be removed from Vorbis headers.
* mkvmerge: MP4 reader: added support for reading Opus audio from MP4
files.
* mkvmerge: MP4 reader: added support for reading VP9 video from MP4
files.
* mkvmerge: Ogg reader: Vorbis, Opus & VP8 streams: stream comments (aka
Vorbis comments) will be converted to Matroska attachments (for cover arts)
and Matroska track tags (for other comments). Additionally the stream
comments will be removed from Vorbis headers.
* mkvmerge: WAV reader: added support for reading RF64 files.
* MKVToolNix GUI: multiplexer: the list of predefined track names is now split
up into three lists, one for each track type (audio, video &
subtitles).
* MKVToolNix GUI: multiplexer: when trying to add thumbnails for a Blu-ray the
GUI will determine the thumbnail's pixel size from the thumbnail files if
the XML file doesn't contain that information. This works for JPEG and PNG
files.
* MKVToolNix GUI: general: line edits & combo boxes will now have a "clear
text" button appear whenever they're not empty.
* MKVToolNix GUI: update check: the dialog showing the latest news & version
information states explicitly where the links take the user (the MKVToolNix
`NEWS.md` file and YouTube respectively).
Bug fixes
* mkvmerge: Matroska reader: mkvmerge did not copy the codec's private data
when reading WavPack from Matroska files.
* mkvmerge: MPLS handling: re-added caching when using MPLS playlists as input
files.
* mkvmerge: MPEG TS reader: when reading an MPLS playlist, the calculation of
the minimum timestamp to use for shifting all output timestamps to zero was
wrong. It was wrongfully considering timestamps from packets it would not
copy due to the MPLS's timestamp restrictions. This could lead to the first
timestamps in the output file being quite large, e.g. more than a couple of
minutes, causing sync problems when multiplexing together with other
files.
* MKVToolNix GUI: multiplexer: the automatic switch between aspect ratio &
display width/height wasn't reflected in the configuration generated for
`mkvmerge`. The user had to change between the two settings manually
* MKVToolNix GUI: multiplexer: the progress dialog shown when scanning a
Blu-ray wasn't closed properly in certain situations.
* MKVToolNix GUI: general: the configured font was not applied to a lot of
controls (e.g. the file & track lists or the menu entries) on application
startup. Instead the user had to open & close the preferences in order for
the font to be applied to all controls.

Known Issues
possibly breaking/incompatible changes to properties of wrapped FFmpeg decoders and encoders (see above).
The way that GIO modules are named has changed due to upstream GLib natively adding support for loading static GIO modules. This means that any GStreamer application using gnutls for SSL/TLS on the Android or iOS platforms (or any other setup using static libraries) will fail to link looking for the g_io_module_gnutls_load_static() function. The new function name is now g_io_gnutls_load(gpointer data). See Android/iOS sections above for further details.
This release of libvdpau switches the build system from automake &
autoconf to meson and adds definitions to support decoding of the VP9
video format.
Aaron Plattner (7):
Switch the build system to Meson
Add .gitlab-ci.yml
doc: Don't use line-wrapping backslashes in \defgroup definitions
CI: Build documentation
meson: Remove unnecessary 'install' parameter from configure_file()
CI: Enable warnings as errors
Bump version to 1.3
Luca Boccassi (1):
Disable HTML timestamps
ManojGuptaBonda (1):
Add VP9 decode support in VDPAU API
Version 40.0.0 "Old Town Road + Pony":
New features and enhancements
* mkvmerge: MP4 reader: added support for BMP covert art images.
* MKVToolNix GUI: multiplexer: added an option to disable deriving the
destination file name from the file title.
* MKVToolNix GUI: multiplexer: the content of the "stereoscopy" combo box has
been simplified making the box's minimum width much smaller, allowing the
user to resize the GUI's whole window to a much smaller width.
* MKVToolNix GUI: multiplexer: whenever the user changes the "aspect ratio" or
"display dimensions" controls, the corresponding radio button will be
activated automatically.
* MKVToolNix GUI: Windows: added a setting in the preferences to disable the
GUI's dark color mode even if Windows's app color mode is set to
dark.
* MKVToolNix GUI: Windows: replaced the dark mode introduced in v39 with
another dark mode that's less wasteful with space between widgets.
Bug fixes
* mkvmerge: MP4 reader: mkvmerge was reading eight bytes too many for cover
art images. This could cause file identification to fail when the cover art
was located at the end of the MP4 file. Even if it succeeded, this meant too
much data present in the attachment.
* mkvmerge: MP4 reader: covert art images with unknown image types will be
skipped instead of treated as JPEG images.
Build system changes
* Qt 5.9.0 or newer is now required for building MKVToolNix GUI.
Version 39.0.0 "In The Waiting Line":
New features and enhancements
* mkvmerge: Blu-ray: when reading an MPLS playlist mkvmerge will look up and
use chapter names from the Blu-ray's "track/chapter names" meta data if it
exists.
* mkvmerge: MP4 reader: if present, cover art images (the
`meta.udta.ilist.covr` atom) will be converted into attachments.
* MKVToolNix GUI: multiplexer: when adding a playlist from a Blu-ray disc, the
disc library meta data will be parsed, and the biggest thumbnail, if
present, will be added as a new attachment with name `cover.jpg` (extension
depends on thumbnail's extension).
* MKVToolNix GUI: multiplexer: when adding a playlist from a Blu-ray disc, the
title from the disc library meta data will be set as the new file title if
the disc library meta data contains one & no title has been set yet.
* MKVToolNix GUI: multiplexer: the automatically generated destination file
name will now be based on the file title if one is set at that point. This
works in conjunction with the title being said from the Blu-ray disc library
meta data.
* MKVToolNix GUI: chapter editor: when reading chapters from an MPLS playlist
the GUI will look up and use chapter names from the Blu-ray's "track/chapter
names" meta data if it exists. Part of the implementation of 2486.
* MKVToolNix GUI: Windows: added a dark mode that's enabled when Windows 10's
dark mode is turned on.
* translations: added a Bulgarian translation of the programs & the man pages
by Симеон Цветков (see `AUTHORS`).
Bug fixes
* mkvmerge: attachments without a file name won't be ignored anymore.
* MKVToolNix GUI: header editor: attachments with an empty name element will
be shown as `<unnamed>` as originally intended.
* Linux AppImage: the AppImage will no longer change directories before
running the desired executable allow the use of relative file names.
Build system changes
* MKVToolNix now requires a C++ compiler that supports the following features
of the C++17 standard: "`[[maybe_unused]]` attribute", "nested namespace
definition", "structured bindings". For the GNU Compiler Collection (gcc)
this means v7 or newer; for clang it means v4 or newer.
* Boost 1.60.0 or newer is now required.
pkgsrc changes:
- Drop dependency to libdvdread, no longer supported in favour of libdvdnav
- Remove `v4l2' option, option was removed and no longer supported
- Remove patch-audio_out_ao__oss.c, applied upstream

This project has been dead for more than 10 years and has dependencies
on the unmaintained GStreamer 0.10 branch. The browser plugins are also
of questionable utility these days.
For a more maintained swf decoder, see lightspark.
