MKVtoolnix is a set of tools to create, alter and inspect Matroska files.

With these tools one can get information about (mkvinfo) Matroska files,
extract tracks/data from (mkvextract) Matroska files and create (mkvmerge)
Matroska files from other media files.

*: Recursive revbump from audio/flac-1.5.0

Log message:
mkvtoolnix: updated to 90.0

Version 90.0 "Hanging On" 2025-02-08

New features and enhancements

* MKVToolNix GUI: header editor: double-clicking on one of the three flag
  indicators ("Default track", "Forced display", \ 
"Enabled") for a track in the
  tree view will now toggle the corresponding flag.

Bug fixes

* mkvmerge: AAC parser: LOAS/LATM streams: fixed use of uninitialized data
  when the `StreamMuxConfig` element doesn't contain the `audioMuxVersion`
  element; version 0 must be assumed in such a case. The result was that
  sometimes certain valid AAC packets were dropped. Fix by Stefan Pöschel.
* mkvmerge: HEVC/H.265 parser: fixed calculation of picture order count
  calculation that was triggered under rare circumstances.
* mkvmerge: Matroska reader: enabled limits for how much data a single
  Matroksa reader instance might buffer when the muxing core looks for packets
  for specific tracks, avoiding huge memory consumption in cases where tracks
  have huge gaps between packets. This might happen when appending files
  containing forced-only subtitle tracks, for example.
* mkvmerge: TrueHD reader: increased the probe range for TrueHD sync frames
  from 128 KB to 512 KB to avoid mis-detection with certain files with a lot
  of data between sync frames.
* mkvmerge: MP4/QuickTime reader: fixed detection of Big Endian LPCM
  audio.

Build system changes

* The bundled `fmt` library was updated to v11.1.2.
* added a new option to `configure` called `--disable-dbus` to disable looking
  for & using QtDBus even if it's present on the system. Default remains to
  probe for its existence. Patch by Anthony Ryan.

Log message:
mkvtoolnix: updated to 89.0

Version 89.0 "And the Melody Still Lingers On (Night in Tunisia)" \ 
2024-12-27

New features and enhancements

* mkvmerge: AC-3 writer: mkvmerge will now use the codec ID `A_AC3` even for
  streams with bitstream IDs 9 or 10 instead of the deprecated codec IDs
  `A_AC3/BSID9` & `A_AC3/BSID10`.
* MKVToolNix GUI: multiplexer: the mechanism for setting track languages to
  specific values upon adding a file has gotten a new option to always set the
  language, no matter whether or not the source container provided a track
  language or what it was set to.
* all command-line tools: implemented an escape mechanism for when you want to
  use the `@` sign as the first character in an argument to an option such as
  `--title`. To escape it the `@` sign has to be doubled as in `--title
  @@midnight`.

Bug fixes

* mkvmerge, mkvpropedit, MKVToolNix GUI's multiplexer & header editor: the
  MIME type for TrueType & OpenType fonts will be set properly to either the
  current MIME types `font/ttf` & `font/otf` or to the legacy MIME types
  `application/x-truetype-font` & `application/vnd.ms-opentype` depending on
  whether the "use legacy font MIME types" option is disabled or \ 
enabled, even
  if the MIME database used by Qt returns the wrong one or even other MIME
  types such as `application/x-font-ttf` & `application/x-font-otf`. This was
  the case on Windows due to Qt 6.7.3 switching to a different embedded MIME
  database.
* MKVToolNix GUI's multiplexer & header editor: ensured that both the legacy \ 
&
  the current font MIME types are always present in the MIME type combo boxes
  of attachments, no matter what Qt's MIME type database contains.
* MKVToolNix GUI: the "disable tooltips" option in the preference will now
  disable the tooltip for the status bar, too.

mkvtoolnix: updated to 88.0

Version 88.0 "All I Know" 2024-10-19

New features and enhancements

* mkvmerge, MKVToolNix GUI's chapter editor: added support for reading
  chapters from PotPlayer bookmark files.

Bug fixes

* configure: fixed setting `HAVE_QTDBUS` properly if the QtDbus module is
  found.
* mkvmerge: MP4 reader: mkvmerge will no longer warn when multiple identical
  FourCCs are present within the same track headers.
* mkvmerge man page: removed the wrong statement that an attachment's MIME
  type must be set before use of the `--attach-file` & `--attach-file-once`
  options. If not given, mkvmerge auto-detects the MIME type.
