mkvmerge: bug fix: fixed a mis-detection of an MPEG-2 video elementary stream as a TrueHD file which then caused a segmentation fault.

MKVToolNix GUI: new merge tool feature: added a layout for the track properties where they’re on the right of the files/tracks lists in two fixed columns.

mkvmerge: bug fix: fixed TrueHD detection both as raw streams as well as inside other contains if the stream does not start with a TrueHD sync frame.

MKVToolNix GUI: enhancement: the user can select the font family and size for the GUI in the preferences.

Additionally on Windows 'Segoe UI', which is Windows’ default user interface font, is used instead of the default provided by Qt, 'MS Shell Dlg 2'.

MKVToolNix GUI: enhancement: the GUI’s default font’s size is now scaled with the screen’s DPI and is at least 9 points high (up from 8).mkvpropedit: enhancement: mkvpropedit will accept terminology variants of ISO 639-2 language codes and convert them to the bibliographic variants automatically.This fixes compatibility with Windows applications that don’t support the use of forward slashes in path names like e.g. MKVToolNix GUI: 'run program after XYZ' bug fix: the paths used in the variables and the executable are converted to the platforms native path separators.MKVToolNix GUI: 'run program after XYZ' enhancement: any leading spaces in the executable path are removed in order to make copying & pasting less error-prone.MKVToolNix GUI: 'run program after XYZ' enhancement: an error message is shown if the program couldn’t be executed.MKVToolNix GUI: 'run program after XYZ' enhancement: added a button for executing the program right now as a test run.Here’s the full ChangeLog since the previous release: Most of the Linux binaries are still being built and will be available in a couple of hours.

The Windows and Mac OS binaries are available. You can download the source code or one of the binaries. Nothing has changed for package maintainers compared to v8.7.0. Therefore this release is 8.8.0 and not 8.7.1. Still, several enhancements and new features have been implemented in these ten days as well. it’s happened with MPEG 2 video files, DTS files, h.264/AVC files etc. The underlying cause is a bug in the TrueHD detection code wrongfully thinking a file is indeed a TrueHD file while it actually isn’t – e.g. The user-visible result is that the GUI (wrongfully) claims that the mkvmerge executable couldn’t be found.

Only ten days since 8.7.0, but a lot of users are hitting a regression in 8.7.0 that makes mkvmerge crash.
