Changes in MKVToolNix version 9.2.0:

• MKVToolNix GUI: merge tool enhancement: the action “select all attached files” in the popup menu actions for the attached files view has been split up into “enable all attached files” and “disable all attached files”. implementations #1698.
• MKVToolNix GUI: bug fix on Windows: removing the drive letter does not cause the colon to be removed automatically anymore. Fixes #1692.
• MKVToolNix GUI: merge tool bug fix: it’s no longer possible to select “1” as the maximum number of files to split into as mkvmerge doesn’t accept that value. Fixes #1695.
• mkvmerge: bug fix: the “interval” chapter generation mode was always creating one chapter too many.
• mkvmerge: bug fix: if a certain number of chapters had been generated with –generate-chapters then mkvmerge wasn’t replacing the void placerholder with the actual chapters. Fixes #1693.
• MKVToolNix GUI: merge tool bug fix: the track column “default track in output” wasn’t taking into account if the track had its “default track” flag set to “no” in the source file. This would result in the column showing “yes” in certain situations even though mkvmerge would assign “no”.
• mkvmerge: bug fix: fixed detection of (E-)AC-3 in MPEG TS files with unusual stream types (eg 0x87) but with (E-)AC-3 PMT descriptors. Fixes #1684.
• mkvmerge, mkvextract: bug fix: fixed handling of Big Endian PCM with a bit depth other than 16, 32 or 64 bits/sample. Other formats were using the Little Endian codec ID, but their content was actually not byte-swapped to match it. Now those other bit depths are byte-swapped to Little Endian, too. Fixes #1683.
• mkvinfo: the change to start the GUI by default on Windows and Mac OS has been reverted. Instead a separate executable (mkvinfo-gui) will be included for those platforms which starts the GUI by default. The newly introduced option “–no-gui” will remain valid but won’t have any effect when used with mkvinfo.
• mkvinfo GUI: enhancement: the window title now includes the file name. implementations #1679.
• mkvmerge: enhancement: the “bit depth” track header field will be set for DTS tracks from the first DTS core header. implementations #1680.
• mkvmerge: bug fix: the time zone portion of the “date_local” member of the JSON and verbose identification formats contained the time zone’s name instead of its offset on Windows due to the Visual C++ runtime’s std::strftime not being C++11 compliant . Additionally this resulted in errors about invalid UTF-8 strings for locales where the time zone’s name contained non-ASCII characters.
