MKVToolNix 5.6.0 released

2012-05-27 — mosu

Hey,

I’ve released v5.6.0. It fixes a couple of important issues with the new --split parts: functionality. Other bugs were fixed as well. A Polish translation of the programs has been added as well as a Spanish translation of mmg’s guide.

Here are the usual links: the home page, the source code and the Windows installer and 7zip archive.

All of the binaries that I provide myself are already available.

Here’s the full ChangeLog since release 5.5.0:

• 2012-05-27 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
  • Released v5.6.0.
  • documentation: Added Spanish translation of mmg’s guide by Israel Lucas Torrijos (see AUTHORS).
• 2012-05-20 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
  • mkvmerge: bug fix: SRT subtitle entries with colons as the decimal separator are accepted. Fix for issue 754.
• 2012-05-13 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
  • mkvmerge: bug fix: XML tag files with <Simple> tags that only contained a name and nested <Simple> were wrongfully rejected as invalid. Fixes issue 752.
  • mkvmerge: enhancement: mkvmerge was optimizied to keep cluster timecodes strictly increasing in most situations.
• 2012-04-24 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
  • all: Added a translation to Polish by Daniel (see AUTHORS).
• 2012-04-16 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
  • mkvextract: bug fix: Extraction of AVC/h.264 was completely broken after 2012-04-09 resulting in files with a length of 0 bytes.
• 2012-04-09 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
  • mmg: new feature: When adding a Matroska file that has either the “previous segment UID” or the “next segment UID” set then mmg will copy those two and the source file’s segment UID into the corresponding controls on the “globla” tab if they haven’t been set before. Implements ticket 733.
  • mkvmerge: new feature: The verbose identification mode for Matroska files will now includes the “segment UID”, the “next segment UID” and “previous segment UID” elements.
  • mkvmerge: enhancement: In “–split parts:” mode mkvmerge will use the output file name as it is instead of adding a running number to it if all the ranges to be kept are to be written into a single output file. Implements ticket 743.
  • mkvextract: bug fix: mkvextract will no longer abort extracing h.264 tracks if it encounters a NAL smaller than its size field. Instead it will warn about it and drop the NAL.
• 2012-04-08 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
  • mkvmerge: bug fix: Writing more than two parts into the same file with “–split parts:” resulted in the timecodes of the third and all following parts to be wrong. Fixes ticket 740.
  • mkvmerge: bug fix: The “–split parts:” functionality was not taking dropped ranges into account when calculating the segment duration for files that more than one range was written to. Fixes ticket 738.
  • mkvmerge: bug fix: The “–split parts:” functionality was producing a small gap between the first part’s last packet’s timecode and the second part’s first packet’s timecode if two parts are written to the same file. Fixes ticket 742.
• 2012-04-07 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
  • mkvmerge: bug fix: The “–split parts:” functionality was writing a superfluous and empty first part if the first range starts at 00:00:00. Fixes ticket 737.
• 2012-04-07 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
  • mmg, build system: Fixed building with wxWidgets 2.9.3.
