Hey,

here's one last release before the end of the year, and it's a bit bigger than the previous ones. Have a look at the news below for details.

Nothing's changed for package maintainers.

Here are the usual links: the MKVToolNix home page, the Windows installer/portable version & macOS DMG & Linux AppImage and the source code.

The Windows and macOS binaries as well as the Linux AppImage are available already. The other Linux binaries are still being built and will be available over the course of the next couple of hours.

Here are the NEWS since the previous release:

Version 41.0.0 "Smarra" 2019-12-06

New features and enhancements

mkvmerge: Matroska reader: Vorbis tracks: stream comments (aka Vorbis comments) will be converted to Matroska attachments (for cover arts) and Matroska track tags (for other comments). Additionally the stream comments will be removed from Vorbis headers.
mkvmerge: MP4 reader: added support for reading Opus audio from MP4 files. Part of the implementation of #2673.
mkvmerge: MP4 reader: added support for reading VP9 video from MP4 files. Part of the implementation of #2673.
mkvmerge: Ogg reader: Vorbis, Opus & VP8 streams: stream comments (aka Vorbis comments) will be converted to Matroska attachments (for cover arts) and Matroska track tags (for other comments). Additionally the stream comments will be removed from Vorbis headers.
mkvmerge: WAV reader: added support for reading RF64 files.
MKVToolNix GUI: multiplexer: the list of predefined track names is now split up into three lists, one for each track type (audio, video & subtitles). Part of the implementation of #2654.
MKVToolNix GUI: multiplexer: when trying to add thumbnails for a Blu-ray the GUI will determine the thumbnail's pixel size from the thumbnail files if the XML file doesn't contain that information. This works for JPEG and PNG files. Implements #2674.
MKVToolNix GUI: general: line edits & combo boxes will now have a "clear text" button appear whenever they're not empty. Part of the implementation of #2654.
MKVToolNix GUI: update check: the dialog showing the latest news & version information states explicitly where the links take the user (the MKVToolNix "NEWS.md" file and YouTube respectively).

Bug fixes

mkvmerge: Matroska reader: mkvmerge did not copy the codec's private data when reading WavPack from Matroska files. Fixes #2685.
mkvmerge: MPLS handling: re-added caching when using MPLS playlists as input files. Fixes #2666.
mkvmerge: MPEG TS reader: when reading an MPLS playlist, the calculation of the minimum timestamp to use for shifting all output timestamps to zero was wrong. It was wrongfully considering timestamps from packets it would not copy due to the MPLS's timestamp restrictions. This could lead to the first timestamps in the output file being quite large, e.g. more than a couple of minutes, causing sync problems when multiplexing together with other files. Fixes #2670.
MKVToolNix GUI: multiplexer: the automatic switch between aspect ratio & display width/height wasn't reflected in the configuration generated for "mkvmerge". The user had to change between the two settings manually. Fixes #2660.
MKVToolNix GUI: multiplexer: the progress dialog shown when scanning a Blu-ray wasn't closed properly in certain situations. Fixes #2678.
MKVToolNix GUI: general: the configured font was not applied to a lot of controls (e.g. the file & track lists or the menu entries) on application startup. Instead the user had to open & close the preferences in order for the font to be applied to all controls. Fixes #2671.

Have fun
