Important notes
- all: the spelling of “color” was modified to “coloration” all through all applications to match the usage of American English spelling in MKVToolNix. This not solely impacts documentation and consumer interface controls, but additionally program choices for mkvmerge & mkvpropedit. Both applications will proceed to just accept the British English spelling of their respective choices indefinitely. One breaking change is that the property names in mkvmerge’s JSON identification mode have additionally been modified to American English spelling. As these properties have solely been launched in launch v68, this looks like a sufficiently small window to make such a change.
New options and enhancements

Bug fixes
- construct system: mounted compilation with fmt v9. Fixes #3366.
- mkvmerge: HEVC ES parser: the parser will now parse not less than the primary full entry unit earlier than reporting that it has discovered all of the required headers. Otherwise parsing may cease in the midst of the entry unit because of the supply reader not offering extra knowledge within the first name, resulting in the parser not discovering the unspec62 and unspec63 NALUs required for Dolby Vision. Fixes #3363.
