The old keys »channels«, »sample_rate« and »bits_per_sample« have been replaced by »audio_channels«, »audio_sampling_frequency« and »audio_bits_per_sample«.

mkvmerge: the verbose identification result for the MPEG program stream, MPEG transport stream and WAV readers has been changed for audio tracks in order to match the Matroska reader's result.

all: bug fix: parsing of strings containing negative values or timecodes was broken on 32bit architectures.

mkvmerge: enhancement: the verbose identification result for all audio tracks has been extended to include the number of channels, the sample rate and the bits per sample where applicable.

MKVToolNix GUI: new merge tool feature: the »tracks« tree view contains a new column titled »properties« which contains basic track properties: the pixel dimensions for a video track and sampling frequency, number of channels and bits per sample for an audio track.

mkvmerge: container and track properties in verbose identification mode are now output sorted.

mkvmerge: bug fix: the number of channels and the sample rate reported for DTS in MPEG transport streams and MPEG program streams in verbose identification mode was 0.

mkvmerge: bug fix: the pixel dimensions reported for VC-1 in MPEG transport streams in verbose identification mode was 0x0.

MKVToolNix GUI: merge tool enhancement: when dragging-and-dropping files onto merge settings already containing a file the dialog asking the user what to do has received a new option for creating one new merge tab for each of the dropped files.

MKVToolNix GUI: new merge tool feature: when dragging-and-dropping files onto merge settings already containing a file the user can set more options to be always done instead of asking (before: only adding files to the current merge settings could be thus marked now: adding to current, adding to new settings and adding each file to new settings can be set to perform without asking).MKVToolNix GUI: chapter editor bug fix: whenever the additional modification of »expanding start/end timecodes to include the minimum/maximum timecodes of their children« was run on an edition entry then ChapterTimeStart and sometimes ChapterTimeEnd nodes were inserted as direct children of the EditionEntry node when saving.

Note: If you have problems with the new GUI, download version 8.2.0 with the old GUI from Related Links.
