hotfix for release 3.0.0.0

Hi,

My apologies when generating the executables for version 3.0.0.0 I used the development branch instead of the release one.

Release 3.0.0

Changelog

3.0.0 - 2024-03-03

---

Since version 2.0.2 major portions of the program were rewritten to account for the change from PySide2 to PySide6.

• All tools versions are updated like:

  • Python 3.12
  • PySide6 6.6
  • pymediainfo 6.1

• MKVBatchMultiplex-3.0.0.0-iss-AMD64.exe windows installer

• MKVBatchMultiplex-3.0.0.0-portable.exe a standalone executable.

• MKVBatchMultiplex-3.0.0.0-portable-console.exe a standalone executable it will open a console when running that may help when the program is not running as expected

• MKVBatchMultiplex-3.0.0.0-x86_64.AppImage an AppImage file generated in ubuntu 20.04 requires libfuse2 installed.

Added

• Optional add CRC-32 for the files at the end of the name.

• On rename tab by drag/dropping files in the Original files box you can rename and
  add CRC labels to files on the system

• A Log viewer tab it won't show until enabled enabled in Preferences
  and Logging be enabled.

• MKVToolnix is embedded to help on some Linux distributions that have problems with
  shared library versions.

• On Linux MediaInfo library is also embedded

Fixed

• Translation of interface on the fly was not fully working
• Reset button was always disabled
• Handling of status changes in the jobs table. On some circumstances the wrong index was being used.

Known Issues

• Use of non-ansi characters in file names and internally like in titles sometimes break the regex parsing used.

Beta Release v3.0.0b1.dev0

Changelog

3.0.0b1.dev0 - 2024-01-26

---

Restart development.

The program now uses PySide6 on Python 3.12. Also there was a good amount of code rewritten and refactoring.

Linux version generated on ubuntu 20.04 and tested on ubuntu 22.04 and 23.10. In 22.04+ there are problems with the positioning of the child windows and restoring the program previous position is a known issue between PySide6 and ubuntu 22.04 and the different versions of Wayland they are using. PySide6 is using a newer version.

• MKVBatchMultiplex-3.0.0b1.dev0-iss-AMD64.exe this is a windows installer

• MKVBatchMultiplex-3.0.0b1.dev0-portable.exe a standalone executable.

• MKVBatchMultiplex-3.0.0b1.dev0-portable-console.exe a standalone executable it will open console when running that may help when the program is not running correctly

• MKVBatchMultiplex-3.0.0b1.dev0-Nuitka-x86_64.AppImage an AppImage file generated in ubuntu 20.04 it needs libfuse2 installed.

In the queue:

• working on a way to save the job in order to re-execute it when there are problems and some work with the files is needed.

Added

• Log viewer tab by default it won't show has to be enabled in Preferences and Logging be enabled.

• Optional add CRC-32 for the files at the end of the name.

Changed

• Save Jobs tab removed not flexible enough working on another approach

Fixed

• Handling of status changes in the jobs table

developer release v2.1.0b1.dev4

Tests versions and current development version will be released here.

2.1.0a1.dev4 - 2021-01-10

Saved Jobs tab ready for first release. This is useful for saving test jobs.
Also repetitive Jobs when source files stay on same location and suffer
modifications up to a final release. Don't have to use mkvtoolix-gui for each
iteration.

• Save Jobs tab to work with saved Jobs can be activated in Preferences

• Option to save jobs with context menu on Jobs Table

• BUG #9 Algorithm 1 and 2 failed with external subs files

  • Subs using UTF-8 with BOM don't generate track information and on situations
    where the subs have file with and without BOM structure test failed

2.1.0a1.dev3 - 2020-12-16

• Algorithm 1 changed when comparing tracks for substitution and
  only one track is needed. If for a particular type (Video, Audio, Text)
  only one track exits if the language in the comparison has one as
  undetermined the track will be selected. This occurrence is quite common
  on the target cases trying to solve. This of course is valid for
  Algorithm 2. The language will be set as in the base source.

• Better handling of files with special characters

• Fix BUG #7 "Remove" in context menu on Jobs Table was not working

• Fix BUG #8 Problem handling tracks titles

• menu items status tip was not working

2.1.0b1.dev2 - 2020-10-1

Jobs were executed even when removed from the Jobs Table via context menu

2.1.0b1.dev1 - 2020-16-9

The program has new operating modes defined as Algorithms 0 through 2.
Algorithm 1 and 2 will try to solve situations where the file structure comparison
fails. With them checking the results is more important. With algorithm 2 you
really have to check the results it can produce files that are quite different
from the desired results. Everything always have depended on the source, good
source good results.

• New algorithms:

  • Algorithm 0 current behavior the resulting file will have the same
    structure as the destination file on the command line. Any difference in
    structure of the files the command will not execute. The resulting file is
    very likely to be the expected result as specified on the command line.
    Random checks will be sufficient.
  • Algorithm 1 will try to find the tracks that best matches the base file
    and adjust the command accordingly. Any track not used in the command will
    be ignored. If no suitable track found no command will execute. Resulting
    file structure if the save as in the command line but is not as likely to be
    the desired file as in Algorithm 0. Flagged files should be checked.
  • Algorithm 2 if Algorithm 1 fails tracks without match will be ignored
    and and the command still will execute. The resulting file will not be like
    the destination file in the original command. It may even be unusable. Any
    flagged has to be check to see if is usable.

• Add support for one track file multiplexing, this is usually done for
  subtitles (mks) files. The program will accept commands with only one track
  one source. The destination file will have correct extension mkv, mka or mks.
