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

(needs one that has gst-check enabled)
Remove gi file from PLIST that's not installed with current dependencies
(perhaps one is missing?).
Bump PKGREVISION.
The motivation is to consider meson as an application, so there is only
one copy on the system, and as a python 3 program, it can build python 2
packages.
Version 38.0.0 "The Silent Type":
New features and enhancements
* mkvextract: chapters, tags & cue sheets will now be written to standard
output if no file name is given, same as if `-` is given as the file name.
* MKVToolNix GUI: job queue: added a new setting in the preferences' "job
queue & job status" section that, when enabled, will cause the GUI to remove
all output files created by jobs that are either aborted by the user or that
end in an error.
Bug fixes
* all programs: macOS: fixed file access if the file name (including all path
components) contains any Unicode character where NFC (Normalization Form
Canonical Composed) and NFD (Normalization Form Canonical Decomposed)
differ, e.g. German Umlauts.
* mkvmerge: when splitting by chapters the user can now split by chapters
coming from one of the appended files, too.
* mkvmerge: AAC reader: fixed reading codec parameters (channels, sample rate)
if a file starts with garbage that includes valid-but-bogus AAC
headers.
* MKVToolNix GUI: Hebrew was added to the list of often-used languages so that
it can be selected by default again.
* MKVToolNix GUI: when updating the GUI's settings from v37.0.0 or older, the
GUI checks if the list of often-used languages equals the built-in list from
v36.0.0. If it does, it will be updated to the built-in list changed in
v37.0.0.
Build system changes
* Boost's Operators header library is now required.
24.0.1 Hotfix
Browser sources will now have their pre-24.0 audio behavior by default; to use OBS to control the browser source audio, users must now use the "Control Audio via OBS" option in the browser source properties. This change was made as a safety precaution because it changed user configurations compared with how the browser audio used to function, which confused some users.
Fixed an issue where certain cameras (particularly C920 cameras) would output with a lot of delay depending on the drivers installed
Fixed a crash on startup
Fixed a crash that would happen when closing the Mixer chat window
24.0 New Features
Added the ability to pause while recording to allow seamless on-the-fly removal of video segments. This can only be used when not sharing an encoder with the stream. [Jim]
Added an option to automatically adjust bitrate when congestion occurs to advanced settings, which is an alternative to dropping frames (available in advanced settings). Note that this currently only works with RTMP, and severe congestion may cause increased delay to viewers. [Jim/pkv]
Added the ability to select multiple sources on the preview by box selection [Dillon]
Added the ability to create custom browser docks in the View -> Docks menu. This allows you to open extra dockable webpages whenever OBS opens [Jim]
Browser sources can now have their volume adjusted via the audio mixer, or have filters applied to them. Additionally, you can now change whether the browser source outputs to speakers or to stream only via the audio monitoring settings in advanced audio properties. [Osiris/pkv/Jim]
Added a script to pause recording when a specific scene is active [cg2121]
Added a "Hotkey Focus Behavior" option to advanced settings, which allows you to set whether hotkeys are disabled depending on whether you have the main window in focus or not [jb-alvarado/Jim]
Added an option to general settings to allow users to confirm when clicking the "Stop Recording" button [glikely]
Added channels widget for restream.io service integration [SoftwareArchitector]
Added the "Area" shader as a downscale shader in video settings [jpark37]
Added an "Enable Preview" button to the main window when the preview is disabled [cg2121]
Added (or rather fixed) hardware acceleration support for decoding media files when using the media source where applicable [Jim]
24.0 Tweaks/Fixes
Updated all dependencies on Windows (such as FFmpeg, x264, CEF) to their latest versions [Jim]
Made a number of optimizations and performance improvements [jpark37]
Made a number of performance improvements to QSV [brittneysclark]
Changed default recording format to mkv instead of flv [WizardCM]
Recording now automatically stop if there is less than 50 megabytes left of disk space available [cg2121]
Fixed a number of issues with Linux window capture [kkartaltepe]
Fixed the tray icon showing up on startup even when it was turned off [Jim]
Fixed a bug where encoders could lock up when an encode call fails [Jim]
Fixed an issue where projectors would have a gray background rather than a black background [Jim]
Fixed a bug where secondary Twitch/Mixer browser panels would stop appearing [Jim]
Fixed a freeze that could happen under rare circumstances when shutting down [Jim]
If no tracks are selected when recording in advanced output mode, it will now default to the same track being used for streaming [cg2121]
Changes:
implement support for text input
implement support for sound streaming (SoundStreamHead/SoundStreamHeadBlock tags)
direct support for older swf, no need for gnash any more (fallback to gnash ist still available by setting environment variable LIGHTSPARK_USE_GNASH=1)
PPAPI plugin works again
make llvm dependency optional (disabled by default)
implement flash.system.Worker/WorkerDomain
use libswresample instead of libavresample, if available
reduce memory usage
several performance improvements
add partial support for rtmfp protocol
