Hey,

I've released MKVToolNix 6.1.0. It's mostly a bug fix release with
only small new features but one big enhancement: memory usage has been
reduced severely. This is especially more noticeable the more video
and subtitle tracks you're muxing, e.g. with Blu-ray discs.

For package maintainers: as libEBML 1.3.0 and libMatroska 1.4.0 have
been released in March this release of MKVToolNix can be compiled with
external versions of both libraries again. The source package still
contains both libraries, but they're only used as fallbacks.

Here's the full ChangeLog since release 6.1.0:

------------------------------------------------------------
2013-04-28 Moritz Bunkus <[email protected]>

* Released v6.2.0.

2013-04-27 Moritz Bunkus <[email protected]>

* mkvmerge: bug fix: The option "--engage
remove_bitstream_ar_info" will now work on AVC/h.264 tracks read
from Matroska/MP4 files as well. Fixes #868.

2013-04-16 Moritz Bunkus <[email protected]>

* mmg: bug fix: mmg will now handle all file names given on the
command line instead of only the first one. This allows things
like opening several selected files with mmg in Windows, and mmg
will add all of them. Fixes #867.

* mkvmerge: bug fix: The amount of memory required to store the
cues during muxing has been reduced drastically. This is more
noticeable the more video and subtitle tracks are muxed. Fixes
#871.

2013-04-15 Moritz Bunkus <[email protected]>

* mkvmerge: bug fix: If splitting had been active then the
elements "cue duration" and "cue relative position" were only
written to the first output file.

2013-04-14 Moritz Bunkus <[email protected]>

* mkvmerge: bug fix: The "CTS offset" field of FLV files with
AVC/h.264 video tracks is now read as a signed-integer field in
accordance with the FLV specifications.

2013-04-13 Moritz Bunkus <[email protected]>

* mkvmerge: bug fix: DTS parsing: no more warnings about
incompatible encoder revision numbers will be printed. Fixes
#866.

* mkvextract: enhancement: track extraction mode: If mkvextract
encounters a broken file structure it will output the last
timecode successfully read before resyncing. After the resync the
first cluster timecode will be reported as well.

* installer: The installation directory will no longer be added to
the PATH environment variable.

* mkvmerge: bug fix: The parsing of the AAC AudioSpecificConfig
structure (the bytes contained in Matroska's CodecPrivate and in
MP4's "ESDS" atom) was fixed to support parsing the
GASpecificConfig and the ProgramConfigElement if the channel
configuration is 0. Fixes #872.

2013-04-09 Moritz Bunkus <[email protected]>

* mmg: bug fix: Loading chapters from Matroska files will open the
file in read-only mode allowing to read from write-protected
files.

2013-04-04 Moritz Bunkus <[email protected]>

* mkvmerge: bug fix: All entries in chapters imported from MPLS
playlists were named "Chapter 0". The numbering has been
fixed. Fixes #870.

2013-04-01 Moritz Bunkus <[email protected]>

* mkvmerge: new feature: Selecting the lowest process priority
with "--priority lowest" will cause mkvmerge to also select an
idle/background I/O priority. Implements #863.

2013-03-31 Moritz Bunkus <[email protected]>

* mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed reading AVI files with audio chunks of
size 0. Fixes #843.

2013-03-29 Moritz Bunkus <[email protected]>

* mmg: new feature: Add control for new option
"--fix-bitstream-timing-information".

2013-03-20 Giuseppe De Robertis <[email protected]>

* mkvmerge: new feature: Add option for fixing the timing
information in video track bitstreams
(--fix-bitstream-timing-information).

2013-03-18 Moritz Bunkus <[email protected]>

* mkvmerge: enhancement: Matroska reader: If mkvmerge encounters a
broken file structure it will output the last timecode
successfully read before resyncing. After the resync the first
cluster timecode will be reported as well.

2013-03-09 Moritz Bunkus <[email protected]>

* mkvmerge: bug fix: MPEG program stream reader: tracks with
invalid video properties (e.g. width or height = 0) are ignored
properly.

* mkvmerge: bug fix: The progress percentage was sometimes using
the wrong input file as the reference if multiple files are read
with the "additional parts" mechanism (on the command line: the
syntax "( VTS_01_1.VOB VTS_1_2.VOB VTS_1_3.VOB )".

* mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed one situation that could lead to
mkvmerge aborting with the error message "Re-rendering track
headers: data_size != 0 not implemented yet".

2013-03-03 Moritz Bunkus <[email protected]>

* mkvmerge: removal: Support for BZ2 (bzlib) and LZO (lzo1x)
compression has been removed.

* mmg: bug fix: Using drag & drop to add playlists will no longer
lock the dragging application (e.g. Windows Explorer) in D&D mode
for the duration of the scan for other playlists.

* mmg: bug fix: The validation for the argument to "split by
chapters" was wrongfully rejecting certain valid inputs (chapter
number lists in which the second or any later chapter number was
higher than 9).

* all: enhancement on Windows: all programs now determine the
interface language to use from the user's selected interface
language (C function "GetUserDefaultUILanguage()"), not from the
locale setting. Implements #852.

Have fun.

Kind regards,
