MKVToolNix v37.0.0 released

2019-08-24 — mosu

Due to two nasty bugs in v36 I’m releasing v37 sooner than anticipated. This release fixes both of the bugs; see below for details.

There’ve been no changes regarding packaging since the previous release.

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: the list of often used languages now contains those from
  Wikipedia’s “List of languages by native speakers” by default. Also by
  default only those languages will be shown in the language drop-down boxes.

Bug fixes

• MKVToolNix GUI: multiplexer: fixed a bug in the “make destination file names
  unique” logic that caused an existing number-in-parenthesis at the end of
  the file base name to be removed in certain situations (e.g. when the first
  added file was named m (3).mkv and both m (3) (1).mkv and m (3) (2).mkv existed already, the GUI was suddenly use m.mkv instead of m (3) (3).mkv).
• MKVToolNix GUI: on Windows the GUI is built with a slightly older version of
  the Qt library again (5.12.4). The Qt version used in release v36.0.0,
  v5.13.0, lead to crashes when doing certain things such as selecting
  multiple tracks in the multiplexer. Fixes #2605 and #26008.

Have fun :)
