--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:
Multiple bugixes and enhancements. From upstream ChangeLog
(
http://www.bunkus.org/videotools/mkvtoolnix/doc/ChangeLog):
* mkvmerge: enhancement: In addition to the track statistics tags »BPS«, »DURATION«,
»NUMBER_OF_BYTES« and »NUMBER_OF_FRAMES« mkvmerge will write two more tags identifying
which application wrote the statistics (»_STATISTICS_WRITING_APP«) and when the file in
question was written: »_STATISTICS_WRITING_DATE_UTC«. »_STATISTICS_WRITING_APP« will
always contain the same string contained in the segment info header element »WritingApp«.
»_STATISTICS_WRITING_DATE_UTC« will contain the same timestamp as in the segment info
header element »Date«, though »_STATISTICS_WRITING_DATE_UTC« is actually a string
representation instead of an integer value. Additionally a tag named »_STATISTICS_TAGS« is
written containing the names of the tags that mkvmerge has set automatically. It equals
the following currently: »BPS DURATION NUMBER_OF_BYTES NUMBER_OF_FRAMES«.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: If a single subtitle track contains two or more entries at the same
timecode then the cue duration and cue relative position elements written were wrong.
* mkvinfo: bug fix: fixed wrong progress percentage shown during saving the information to
text files. Fixes #1016.
* mkvmerge: new feature: Added a global option for disabling writing the tags with
statistics for each track: --disable-track-specific-tags.
* mkvmerge: new feature: When identifying a Matroska file in verbose identification mode
track-specific tags will be output as well. The format is »tag_<tag name in lower
case>:<tag value>», e.g. for a tag named »BPS« with the value »224000« the output
would be »tag_bps:224000«. Enhancement for #1021.
* mkvmerge: new feature: mkvmerge will write track-specific tags with statistics (»BPS«
for the average number of bits per second, »DURATION« for the duration, »NUMBER_OF_BYTES«
and »NUMBER_OF_FRAMES« for the track's size in bytes and its number of
frames/packets). Implements #1021.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Changed the file type detection order again. The text subtitle
formats are now probed after those binary formats that can be detected quickly and
unambiguously. This avoids some mis-detection if e.g. Matroska files as ASS text subtitles
if they do contain such a track.
* mmg: enhancement: The chapter editor will only use fast-mode parsing when loading
chapters from Matroska files.
* all: bug fix: fixed invalid memory access in the cleanup procedures which only occurred
if the output was redirected with the »--redirect-output« command line parameter.
* mkvmerge: enhancement: The last chapter entry read from MPLS files is removed if it is
at most five seconds long. Patch by Andrew Dvorak (see AUTHORS).
* mkvmerge: enhancement: added the attachment UID to the verbose identification output of
Matroska files.
* mmg: bug fix: Selecting a subtitle track correctly sets the »character set« drop-down
box if no character set was set for this track. Fixes #1008.
* mmg: enhancement: the subtitle character set cannot be set anymore for subtitle tracks
read from Matroska files as mkvmerge ignores that setting for said container anyway (text
subs are always encoded in UTF-8 in Matroska).
