mkvtoolnix 3.3.0 released

Hey,

I've released mkvtoolnix v3.3.0. This release contains contains several important bug fixes and a few new features. Behind the scenes huge parts of the code have seen adjustments, especially the order and amount of included header files. I've gone to great lengths to ensure everything compiles as usual on several platforms and versions but be prepared for compiler errors if you compile the package yourself.

There are no changes that package maintainers have to look out for.

Here are the usual links...

...to the home page:
http://www.bunkus.org/videotools/mkvtoolnix/

...to the source code:
http://www.bunkus.org/videotools/mkv...-3.3.0.tar.bz2

...to the Windows installer and 7zip archive:
http://www.bunkus.org/videotools/mkv....3.0-setup.exe
http://www.bunkus.org/videotools/mkv...icode-3.3.0.7z

All binaries that I provide myself have already been uploaded.

Here's the full ChangeLog since release 3.2.0:
