This method works for systems where a logind-compatible D-Bus
interface is available for inhibiting sleep & idle states. Requires
Qt's D-Bus library.
Part of the implementation of #2411.
nlohmann's JSON libraries in version 2.x used to strip bytes that
aren't valid UTF-8 from strings (e.g. service/station names in MPEG
transport streams) before outputting the JSON data structures. With
MKVToolNix v24 that bundled library was updated to v3 which now throws
an exception on such invalid data.
Therefore mkvmerge now takes care of replacing invalid bytes with
placeholder characters itself before passing the strings to nlohmann's
JSON library.
Fixes#2327.
Recent `qmake` versions warn about plugins being added multiple times
via the `QT_PLUGIN` setting. However, our configure must add the
plugins manually as it cannot rely on them being present automatically
in older Qt versions. So just ignore those warnings.
Messages that are silenced are ones such as this:
> Your input po file ./doc/man/po4a/po/ja.po seems outdated (The
> amount of entries differ between files: 958 is not 633). Please
> consider running po4a-updatepo to refresh it.
Older versions suffered from issues such as segmentation faults on
startup with optimization levels higher than `-O2` or with
`-fipa-icf`. v7.2.0 is OK, though.
Older versions suffered from excessive memory usage with optimization
levels higher than `-O1`:

v3.8.0 is known to be OK, though.
`clang++ -dumpversion` always outputs 4.2.1 as it was designed to be
compatible with `g++` in that version. So parse `clang++ --version`
for `clang++` instead.
libEBML v1.3.5 contains the following change:
------------------------------------------------------------
EbmlMaster::CheckMandatory: only fail for default-value-less mandatory elements
The function EbmlMaster::CheckMandatory() will now only return false
if a mandatory element is missing for which there's no default value
in the specifications. This means that callers such as
EbmlMaster::UpdateSize() and by extension EbmlMaster::Render() will
not insist on all mandatory elements being present anymore, but only
those for which there's no default value.
------------------------------------------------------------
This allows mkvmerge, mkvpropedit and the GUI's header editor to only
actually add those elements that have to be added to a master before
writing it to the file. Adding e.g. the TrackLanguage element isn't
necessary anymore if should be set to "eng" anyway as "eng" is its
default value. Before the change libEBML was insisting on it being
present in the "TrackEntry" master, though, no matter what it was set
to.
The upstream project intends the include files to be installed in
`$includedir/nlohmann/json.hpp`,
e.g. `/usr/include/nlohmann/json.hpp`. Debian did not follow that
recommendation and installed them directly in `$includedir`. Therefore
`configure` was only looking for the latter, not the former.
However, Debian will soon follow suit. Therefore detection has been
extended to check for the intended location first.
Fixes#2048.
Earlier versions fail to build on both my development system as well
as my CentOS 7 BuildBot CI instance. Therefore I cannot properly
support that version anymore.
See #2037.
This changes several things:
1. The path to the plugins is no longer determined by looking through
the include flags in QT_LIBS. This process was broken for paths
with file names. Instead, qmake is queried for the installation
location for the plugins.
2. Similar to qmake, configure now generates a file for both mkvinfo
and mkvtoolnix-gui that includes the appropriate #include
directives for the chosen plugins. Therefore no additional #ifdef…
logic is required for the static plugins in other parts of the two
programs.
3. For platforms other than Windows or macOS, configure will now add
the Xcb platform integration plugin. This is required for using a
static Qt on Linux. This change should implement #1898.
