# Version ?
## Important notes
* mkvmerge: removed the option `--blockadd`. Removing block additional data is
not possible anymore, as it is often required for proper decoding. Part of
the implementation of #3511.
## New features and enhancements
* mkvmerge: JSON file identification: added a child element called
`num_index_entries` to the `properties` track element containing the number
of index entries found for a track. Currently only implemented for Matroska
files where it contains the number of cue points. See #3510.
* mkvmerge: the maximum block addition ID track header value is now calculated
automatically from both the existing mappings & the actually used block
additions in the block groups. Part of the implementation of #3511.
* mkvmerge: Matroska reader: when reading WebM files that use block additions
with ID 4 (HDR for VP9) an appropriate block addition mapping will be
created automatically. Part of the implementation of #3511.
* mkvmerge: MP4 reader: the title/movie name meta data (content of the
`udta.meta.ilst.©nam` atom) will now be copied over as the segment title
track header attribute. Part of the implementation of #3475.
* mkvmerge: MP4 reader: the comment & encoder meta data (content of the
`udta.meta.ilst.©cmt` & `….©too` atoms) will now be copied over as global
tags `COMMENT` & `ENCODER` respectively. Part of the implementation of
#3475.
* mkvmerge, MKVToolNix GUI's multiplexer: added an option to stop processing
after the primary video track ends called `--stop-after-video-ends`. This
discards any remaining packets of other tracks. Part of the implementation

* MKVToolNix GUI: the dialog for editing language tags is now created only the
first time the user wants to edit a language tag & cached afterwards instead
of creating a new instance each time. This makes subsequent uses instant.

## Bug fixes
* mkvpropedit: fixed replacing chapters & tags in files that don't contain
tracks. Fixes #3498.
* mkvmerge: mkvmerge will now only try to probe for VobSubs if the name of the
file to identify ends in either `.idx` or `.sub`, preventing
mis-identification of other file types if VobSubs with the same base name
exist in the same directory. Fixes #3508.
* mkvmerge: AC-3: mkvmerge will now skip certain types of garbage data (16
bytes starting with 0x01 0x10) that can occur before each sync frame,
fixing the file not being identified as AC-3. Fixes #3484.
* mkvmerge: Matroska reader: when reading files that use block additions with
IDs other than 1 (e.g. 4 for HDR for VP9) the IDs will now be kept & written
to the output file. Before no ID would be written, effectively using 1 as
