## New features and enhancements

* all programs: added a new option `--abort-on-warnings` that will cause the program to abort after it has emitted the first warning, similar to how it aborts after the first error. Implements #2493.
* mkvmerge, mkvextract: when closing files that were opened for writing, cached data will not be flushed to storage automatically anymore. This reverts the workaround implemented for #2469. A new option was added to both programs (`--flush-on-close`) that re-enables flushing for people who are affected by data loss such as described in #2469.
The reason is that automatic flushing causes long delays in processing queues when the output by mkvmerge/mkvextract isn't the final product but just an intermediate result to be processed further.
Implements #2480.
* MKVToolNix GUI: multiplexer: the dialog previewing different character sets for text subtitles will now keep the position of the displayed text when switching between character sets. Implements #2489.

## Bug fixes
* mkvmerge: AVI reader: using DV type 1 AVIs will now result in an unsupported file type being reported (as the underlying AVI library doesn't support them) instead of crashing mkvmerge. Fixes #2491.
* mkvmerge: HEVC: the height of interlaced streams will now be set correctly to the height of the full frame instead of the height of a single interlaced field. Fixes #2446.
* mkvmerge: MP4 reader: edit lists consisting solely of elements that mkvmerge doesn't support (such as dwells) are simply ignored. Before no data was read for such tracks at all. Fixes #2487.
* mkvmerge: text subtitles: entries with an explicit duration of 0ms will now be handled correctly: the 0ms duration will be stored in Matroska instead of the difference between the current and the following entry. Fixes #2490.
* MKVToolNix GUI: multiplexer, chapter editor: fixed drag & drop handling with Qt 5.12.0 and newer. Fixes #2472.
* MKVToolNix GUI: multiplexer: the GUI did not clean up temporary files created when running `mkvmerge`. Fixes #2499.
