MKVToolNix v5.9.0 released

Hey,

I've released v5.9.0. There's an important information for package
maintainers below marked with [!].

I've released MKVToolNix v5.9.0. It fixes several bugs: 793 (appending
empty subtitle tracks); 795 (file names containing '%' read from .mmg
files); reading linked seek heads in mkvmerge (fixes mkvmerge not
finding attachments after usage of mkvpropedit); 801 & 802 (discarding
EBML void elements when writing and reading XML chapter files); 804
(mkvmerge will keep timecodes of PCM tracks read from containers that
provide timecodes); 805 (reading seek position elements bigger than 2
GB).

Enhancements include writing the newly introduced elements "cue
duration" and "cue relative position" which provide more detailed
information for seeking.

[!] Due to this enhancement compilation requires new versions of
libEBML (1.3.0) and libMatroska (1.4.0), neither of which has been
released yet: they're only available from the Subversion repository so
far. However, MKVToolNix comes bundled with internal copies of both
libraries which will be used. As soon as official versions of libEBML
and libMatroska have been released this release of MKVToolNix will be
able to use them again, of course.

	writing "CueDuration" elements ("--engage no_cue_duration") and
	"CueRelativePosition" elements ("--engage

	* mkvmerge: new feature: The element "CueRelativePosition" is
	written for all cue entries.

	* mkvmerge: new feature: The element "CueDuration" will be written

	* mkvmerge: new feature: mkvmerge will write cues for subtitle
	tracks by default now.

	* mkvinfo: new feature: added support for the new elements
	CueDuration, CueRelativePosition and TimecodeScaleDenimonator. The
	denominator's value is only shown so far but not taken into
	account when calculating any timecode.

	* mkvpropedit, mmg, mkvmerge: removal: removed support for the
	deprecated element TrackTimecodeScale.

Have fun.

Kind regards,
