## Bug fixes
* build system: fixed compilation with fmt v8. Fixes #3151.
* mkvmerge: SRT subtitle reader: characters that aren't valid according to the
assumed encoding of the file will now be replaced by the Unicode
"Replacement Character" U+FFFD instead of keeping the invalid characters,
potentially violating the Matroska specs.
* mkvmerge: WebVTT parser: the parser now accepts timestamps with hours
larger than 99. Part of #3139.
* mkvextract: TTA extraction, only on Windows: fixed removing the temporary
file created during extraction.
* mkvmerge, mkvpropedit, MKVToolNix GUI's multiplexer & header editor: MIME
type detection is now done using Qt instead of the `magic` library. The main
impact is the MIME types of TrueType & OpenType fonts are now detected
correctly. Fixes #3137.
* mkvmerge, mkvinfo, MKVToolNix GUI's info tool: only on Windows: displaying
dates before 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC or after 2038-01-19 03:14:08 UTC was
broken. Note that the header editor was not affected. Fixes #3148.
* MKVToolNix GUI: only on 64-bit Windows: under certain conditions, the 64-bit
Windows binaries crashed when opening dialog windows. Even though the

* MKVToolNix GUI: multiplexer: the "show command line" dialog will now always
use backward slashes for the "Windows (cmd.exe)" mode and forward slashes
for the "Linux/Unix shells" mode, regardless of the operating system it's
currently running on. Fixes #3155.

## Build system changes
* The `magic` library is not used anymore.
* The Qt library is now required for building all applications, even the
command-line ones, as they use Qt's MIME type detection capabilities. In
turn this means that you cannot disable the Qt usage anymore; either Qt5 or

You can still chose not to build MKVToolNix GUI, though. A new option has
been added to `configure` for this purpose: `--disable-gui`.
* The `gmp` library is now required.
* The `magic` library is not used anymore.
* The `PCRE2` & `JPCRE2` libraries are not used anymore. The bundled version
of `JPCRE2` was removed.
* Boost's "rational" library is not used anymore.
* `configure`: the option `--enable-appimage` has been removed. The location
of the relevant directories within an AppImage is now detected
automatically.
