There are several switches that deal with the various toolkits: This means that at the moment both GUIs (mmg and MKVToolNix GUI) will be built unless you tell configure otherwise.

Of course all of this depends on the number and seriousness of bugs found in the new GUI ) Therefore these plans are not set in stone.Ĭhanges for package maintainers: configure will now detect the presence of the Qt libraries version 5.2.0 or later by default and use them if they’re found. Two releases later, with 8.2.0, the old GUI will finally be removed among with all support for the wxWidgets toolkit. If everything goes according to plan then the next release, 8.0.0, will see the old GUI (mmg, mkvmerge GUI) be marked as being deprecated – meaning there will be a popup message warning you about this fact when you start mmg. I’ve therefore removed the preview warning and included it in all the packages that I provide (both Windows and Linux).

It has reached a state in which I consider it fit for wider use. Since the previous release a serious amount of work has gone into the new GUI, MKVToolNix GUI.

a very old bug in handling MPEG-1/2 video preventing the detection of such tracks if -sync was used at the same time as -default-duration then -sync was ignored mkvinfo’s exit codes were wrong (this may trip up frontends using mkvinfo!) handling of E-AC3 in MPEG transport stream in certain situations etc. Many people weren’t aware of that differentiation.Īs for the changes in this release: A couple of important bugs have been fixed, e.g.

This was done in order to reduce the confusion sown by the term »amd64« which denotes the processor architecture but not the manufacturer. The difference is that 64bit builds use …-64bit-… instead of …-amd64-… and that the 32bit builds include their architecture (-32bit-) in their name for the first time. First of all a note to all Windows users: I’ve renamed the downloads slightly.
