MKVToolNix v75.0 released

Heyo!

Time for another release. Again nothing major, just some bug fixing & adding a simple converter from timed-text to Matroska's simple format (SRT-like).

Here are the usual links: the MKVToolNix home page, the downloads 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 75.0.0 "Goliath" 2023-03-26
New features and enhancements
  • mkvmerge: MP4 reader: mkvmerge will now read Timed Text (FourCC "tx3g") subtitle tracks & convert them on the fly to Matroska's simple text subtitle format ("S_TEXT/UTF8"; text only, no styles). Implements #2208, #2242, #2613, #3000, #3243, #3418 and possibly others.

Bug fixes
  • all: switched back to using "boost::filesystem" functions for creating directories instead of the ones introduced to work around bugs in "std::filesystem". The latter didn't work correctly with UNC paths after the switch to "boost::filesystem:ath" in v74. Fixes #3483.
  • mkvmerge: VobSub reader: mkvmerge will now probe the ".idx" file during VobSub identification even if the ".sub" file is passed as the source. Avoids mis-detection of the ".sub" as MPEG program streams. Fixes #3489.
  • MKVToolNix GUI: the GUI could abort with an exception on startup while looking for the "mkvmerge" or "mediainfo" executables due to inaccessible folders. Fixes #3481.
  • MKVToolNix GUI: preferences: when opening the preferences the first time the UI might pre-select the first entry in the list of interface languages if the operating system's language is not available for MKVToolNix. This might also happen on Linux if e.g. "en_GB" is set, even though "en_US" is available. Now English ("en_US") will be selected instead. Fixes #3486.
  • MKVToolNix GUI: multiplexer: when adding files the GUI has special handling for chapter/tags/segment info files. This is done by comparing their content to certain patterns. This recognition could wrongfully be triggered if any such file was embedded in another file verbatim, e.g. with a chapter XML file attachment in a Matroska file. When trying to add that Matroska file, the GUI would treat it as a chapter file instead of a regular one. This content-based detection was fixed. Fixes #3487.

Other changes
  • mkvpropedit, GUI's header editor: removed support for the deprecated "minimum cache" & "maximum cache" track header elements.

Have fun ��
