## New features and enhancements

* mkvmerge: AV1: added support for reading Dolby Vision from AV1 IVF & OBU
  streams. Patches by Quietvoid.
* mkvmerge: MPEG TS reader: added support for colors in teletext
  subtitles. Patch by Angela Schmid.
* MKVToolNix GUI: multiplexer: when adding files the GUI can automatically
  enable the "forced display" flag for subtitle tracks if the file name
  contains the word "forced" delimited by certain characters
  (configurable). This feature is turned on by default. Implements #3586.
* MKVToolNix GUI: multiplexer: added the option `--stop-after-video-ends` to
  the dialog for additional command line options. Implements #3594.
* MKVToolNix GUI: multiplexer: when adding Blu-ray playlists the dialog
  allowing the user to select the playlist to add will now show audio & video
  track properties as well (pixel dimensions for video; sampling frequency,
  channels for audio). Implements #3597.
* MKVToolNix GUI: header editor: in order to reduce confusion with users non
  that versed in Matroska elements, the naming of the two "language" track
  properties has been changed: the old element is now titled "Language
  (obsolete)" & the current, IETF BCP 47 based one is simply called
  "Language".
* MKVToolNix GUI: preferences: you can now use the "delete" key to remove
  entries from simple list widgets for strings (e.g. the list of recently used
  destination directories).

## Bug fixes

* mkvmerge: DTS reader: if a DTS stream doesn't start with a DTS core but a
  sub-stream element (EXSS), the reader will now look for a core. If found,
  it'll start processing from there instead of from the start. This fixes the
  timestamp calculation if the sampling frequency in the core & in the
  extensions are different. Fixes #3602.
* MKVToolNix GUI: multiplexer: the "emphasis" and "stereoscopy" combo-boxes
  now have a much smaller minimum width, allowing to make the whole
  "properties" pane much smaller again. Fixes #3581.
* MKVToolNix GUI: macOS: when you install the application from the DMG it'll
  no longer register itself as an alternate handler for its supported file
  types. It seems like this overrode existing associations, forcing people to
  change them manually to whatever they wanted them to be. Additionally this
  forced the associated file to always be shown with an MKVToolNix icon. The
  GUI's own `.mtxcfg` files will still be registered. Fixes #3588.

Changelog

    New features and enhancements:

    MKVToolNix GUI: if the system's locale uses one of the Han scripts, the GUI will force Arabic numerals to be used in spin boxes. This prevents Suzhou numerals from being used which seems to be the default on Windows systems sold in China. Implements #3624.

    Bug fixes:

    build system: fixed detection of Qt6 if `clang` is used for compilation on Linux. In that case Qt's `qmake` added a `gcc`-specific option that `clang` doesn't understand, `-mno-direct-extern-access`. `configure` will now pass the parameter `-spec linux-clang` to `qmake` so that it uses the correct compiler flags.
    build system: fixed the use of `mktemp` to be more portable to e.g. macOS. Fixes #3608.
    mkvmerge: if a video aspect ratio was given with `--aspect-ratio-factor`, the code would apply a second factor based on the pixel resolution, resulting in much too large values for the `DisplayWidth` element. For example, with a pixel resolution of 720x520 & an aspect ratio factor of 1/1 the result should be 720x520, but instead it was 900x520. Up until release 76.0 this has only happened when a track order was given (which unfortunately includes all invocations with MKVToolNix GUI as it always includes the track order). Starting with release 77.0 this has always happened due to the automatic sorting of tracks implicitly creating a track order, even if none was given.

Changelog

## New features and enhancements

* translations: added a Belarusian translation of the programs & the man pages
  by prydespar (see `AUTHORS`).

  chapters from ffmpeg metadata files. Implements #3676.
* MKVToolNix GUI: added a new action type for execution after jobs or the
  queue finishes: quitting MKVToolNix. Implements #3677.

## Build system changes

* The bundled `fmt` library was updated to v10.2.1.

## Other changes

* Tons of changes were made to support the latest development versions of
  libEBML & libMatroska.

Changelog

## New features and enhancements

* mkvmerge: added a new file-specific option `--regenerate-track-uids`. When
  used for Matroska files, `mkvmerge` will generate new random track UIDs
  instead of keeping existing track UIDs. This is done automatically when a
  Matroska file was created by MakeMKV.
* mkvmerge: MP4 reader: added support for FLAC in MP4. Implements #3692.
* MKVToolNix GUI: multiplexer: the "Attachments" tab's title will now include
  the total number of attachments (both from source files & to newly
  attach). Implements #3693.
* translations: added a Norwegian Bokmål translation of the programs by Roger
  Knutsen (see `AUTHORS`).

## Bug fixes

* configure: when called with `--disable-gui` the build system still ran the
  check for the GUI libraries & failed if they weren't found. This check is
  now skipped when the option is given. Fixes #3680.
* mkvmerge: several color-related track header properties were parsed into &
  stored as a wrong integer type internally. This could result in wrong values
  being copied when very large values were present in source files, or in
  error messages when very large values were used as command-line parameters.
* MKVToolNix GUI: multiplexer: the keyboard shortcuts from the "modify
  selected tracks" sub-menu didn't work right after opening a file. They only
  started working after opening the "multiplexer" menu. Fixes #3681.

## Build system changes

* Release v8.0.0 of the `fmt` library is now required. If not found, the
  bundled copy will be used.
* A C++20 compatible compiler is now required for several but certainly not
  all C++20 features. g++ v10 & clang++ v10 should suffice.
