Update Information:

Upstream changelog: http://www.bunkus.org/videotools/mkvtoolnix/doc/ChangeLog

Highlights:

* mkvmerge, mkvextract: new feature: added support for h.265/HEVC by merging the patches from DivX/Rovi Corp. So far HEVC is only supported as elementary streams and read from other Matroska files.
* mkvmerge: enhancement: The deprecated ISO 639-1 code "iw" is now recognized for Hebrew.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The AC3 packetizer will re-derive the sampling frequency and the number of channels from the bitstream. This way obviously invalid information from the source container like a sampling frequency of 0 Hz will be fixed.
* mkvmerge: enhancements: AVI reader: audio chunks with obvious wrong size information (bigger than 10 MB) will be skipped.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: When reading M2TS files belonging to an MPLS playlist mkvmerge will now only copy packets whose timestamps lie between the »in time« and »out time« restrictions from the playlist's entry corresponding to that M2TS file. Fixes #985.
* extract: bug fix: using names of non-existing files in »attachments«, »chapters«, »cuesheet« or »tags« mode caused mkvextract to crash instead of emitting a proper error message. Fixes #964.
* mmg: bug fix: fixed the check for WebM-compatible track types for Opus.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: fixed muxing Sorenson v3 (SVQ3) video from QuickTime files.
* mkvmerge, mkvextract, mkvpropedit: enhancement: attachments in Matroska files with a missing FileUID element are not ignored anymore even though they violate the specs. mkvmerge generates a new FileUID instead.
