--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

* MKVToolNix GUI: the default font size adjustment has been deactivated for the
time being as it causes problems on high DPI displays. See #1602. * MKVToolNix
GUI: bug fix: ampersands (&) in file names were shown as keyboard shortcuts in
tab titles in various tools (merge tool, chapter and header editors, job output
tool). Fixes #1603. * MKVToolNix GUI: header editor enhancement: when the user
drags & drops files on an open header editor tab the GUI will ask the user what
to do with them: either open the files as new header editor tabs or add the
files as new attachments to the current tab. The action can also be set as the
default. Implements #1585. * MKVToolNix GUI: chapter & header editor
enhancement: Matroska files are initially opened in read-only mode and only
later re-opened in read/write mode in order to enable reading from write-
protected files. Part of the implementation of #1594. * MKVToolNix GUI: chapter
& header enhancement: the error messages shown when a Matroska file could not be
parsed have been improved to include the most likely reasons. Part of the
implementation of #1594. * MKVToolNix GUI: chapter editor enhancement: added a
menu entry for removing chapters from an existing Matroska file. Inspired by
#1593. * MKVToolNix GUI: chapter editor enhancement: it is now possible to save
chapters to Matroska files after having removed all entries (editions and
chapter atoms). This effectively removes the chapters from the file. Implements
#1593. * MKVToolNix GUI: job queue enhancement: added keyboard shortcuts for
removing all completed jobs and for removing successfully completed jobs.
Implements #1599. * MKVToolNix GUI: merge tool enhancement: added icons to the
context menu actions in the "attachments" sub-tab. Implements #1596. *
MKVToolNix GUI: merge tool enhancement: made the context menu entries in the
"attachments" sub-tab clearer. Implements #1597. * mkvmerge: bug fix: fixed the
handling of AVIs with a negative video height (which signals that the rows are
arranged top-to-bottom). * MKVToolNix GUI: job queue bug fix: fixed an invalid
memory access in the "edit in corresponding tool and remove from queue"
functionality. * MKVToolNix GUI: re-write, merge tool bug fix: the file
identification is now based on mkvmerge's JSON output instead of its verbose
output. This also fixes the merge tool not showing names of attachments inside
Matroska files properly if those names contain spaces (#1583). * MKVToolNix GUI:
merge tool bug fix: the "mux this" combo box was disabled if a single attachment
was selected. * mkvmerge: bug fix: removed spurious output generated during file
identification in the HEVC detection code (e.g. "Error No Error"). * mkvmerge:
bug fix: fixed the output of the "playlist_file" and "other_file" properties of
the "container" entity in the JSON identification format from a single string to
an array of strings. The format version has been bumped to 3 due to this change.
* docs: added a Polish translation of the man pages by Daniel Kluz (see
AUTHORS). * MKVToolNix GUI: "run program after XYZ" enhancement: configurations
can now be deactivated without having to change them. Implements #1581. *
mkvmerge: bug fix: fixed parsing of AAC in MP4 with a program config element
with an empty comment field at the end of the GA specific config. Fixes #1578. *
mkvmerge: enhancement: when reading Matroska files created by HandBrake that
contain chapters the existing edition UIDs and chapter UIDs are removed and
random ones created. This is necessary as HandBrake assigns sequential numbers
starting at 1 for each file. Therefore there are two chapter entries with the
UID 1, two with the UID 2 etc. and those should, strictly speaking, be treated
as if they were a single chapter whereas the user expects those entries to stay
separate entries. Implements an improvement for issues such as #1561. *
MKVToolNix GUI: merge tool bug fix: the GUI no longer requires at least one
source file to be present before muxing can start in order to allow creation of
track-less files. Fixes #1576. * MKVToolNix GUI: enhancement: the "escape for
Windows' cmd.exe" mechanism will only escape arguments that actually need
escaping in order to produce easier to read command lines. * mkvmerge:
QuickTime/MP4 reader: fix a division by zero in the index generation for certain
old audio codecs that have certain header fields (bytes_per_frame,
samples_per_packet) set to 0. * mkvinfo: bug fix: global elements (EBML void and
CRC-32 elements) are now handled correctly if they're located inside the segment
info or the chapter translate parents.
