MKVToolnix 54.0.0 (New) Released : https://mkvtoolnix.download/doc/NEWS.md # Version 54.0.0 "F Maj Pixie" 2021-02-26
## New features and enhancements
* mkvmerge: added support for using ISO 639-3 language codes in IETF BF47
language tags. Part of the implementation of #3007.
* mkvmerge: AC-3 parser: added support for byte-swapped AC-3 data. Implements
#3022.
* mkvmerge: Matroska reader: for audio tracks that have the bit depth track
header set mkvmerge will now keep that header even for codecs that don't
require it for decoding. Implements #3009.
* mkvmerge: MPEG transport stream reader, PCM audio tracks: mkvmerge will now
re-order the channels for 5.1, 7.0 and 7.1 channel tracks from the Blu-ray
layout to the WAVEFORMATEXTENSIBLE layout expected in Matroska. Patch by Tom
Yan. Implements #2988.
* mkvmerge, mkvinfo, mkvpropedit, MKVToolNix GUI: added support for the
following new track header elements: "hearing impaired" flag, "visual
impaired" flag, "text descriptions" flag, "original" flag, "commentary"
flag. Implements #3011.
* MKVToolNix GUI: added support for using ISO 639-3 language codes in IETF
BF47 language tags. As there are several thousand of them, they're
deactivated by default and must be activated in the preferences ("GUI" →
"Often used selections" → "Languages"). Part of the implementation of #3007.
* MKVToolNix GUI: multiplexer: when adding Blu-rays the user can select
multiple playlists to add simultaneously in the "select playlist to add"
dialog. Implements #2961.
* MKVToolNix GUI: multiplexer: the file name extensions "eb3" and "ec3" were
added for Dolby Digital Plus & "mpl" for Dolby TrueHD in the file
dialogs. Part of the implementation of #3027.
* MKVToolNix GUI: multiplexer: when adding multiple files the dialog asking
the user what to do with them has gained a new checkbox. If enabled, all
files containing at least one video track will always be placed in newly
created multiplex setting. Implements #2966.
* MKVToolNix GUI: multiplexer: added a menu entry in the "Multiplexer" for
adding all files that are currently in the clipboard. Implements #3006.
## Bug fixes
* all: Windows: fixed compatibility with gettext 0.21 and newer on mingw.
* all: Windows: fixed several of the programs having problems with certain
Unicode characters (primarily emojis) in file names (e.g. mkvextract
wrongfully complaining about an "invalid mode" or the GUI not being able to
find parts of Blu-ray file structures).
* mkvextract: AAC: fixed wrong channel mask field in the ADTS headers for 7.1
channel layouts. Fix by Tom Yan. Fixes #2636.
* mkvextract: h.265/HEVC extraction: if the first frame starts with the
parameter sets (SPS, PPS & VPS), the ones from CodecPrivate aren't written
and the ones from the first frame are kept. Fixes #3031.
* mkvmerge: fixed the calculation of chapter timestamps read from NTSC
DVDs. Fix by Tom Yan.
* MKVToolNix GUI: IETF BCP 47 language widget: the language combo box will now
always contain the language code the user enters in the free-form field,
even if it isn't in the list of often-used languages the user configured in
the preferences.
* MKVToolNix GUI: multiplexer: when browsing for the destination file name the
default directory is now chosen according to the preferences regarding how
the destination file name should be formed. For example, if the policy is
set to "fixed output directory" then that output directory will be the one
initially set when the directory selection dialog is opened. Fixes #3021.
* MKVToolNix GUI: multiplexer: fixed the removal of appended source files if
the "delete source files" end-of-job action is enabled. Fixes #3029.
* MKVToolNix GUI: chapter editor: when importing chapters from DVDs the IETF
BCP 47 language elements will be set, too, not just the legacy language
elements.
## Build system changes
* libEBML v1.4.2 and libMatroska v1.6.3 are now required. The optional,
bundled copies of both libraries have been updated to those versions. This
bump in requirements fixes several heap overflow bugs in libEBML.
* MKVToolNix is now using the C++17 library feature "file system library"
instead of Boost's "file system" and "system" libraries. For the GNU
Compiler Collection (gcc) libstdc++ this means v8 or newer is required; for
clang's libc++ it means v7 or newer. For macOS this means that provided disk
image will only run on 10.15 "Catalina" or newer.
