MKVToolNix 96.0 comes almost a month after MKVToolNix 95.0 to introduce the –no-bom command-line parameter for disabling the writing of byte order marks to text files encoded with one of the UTF variants. This change fixes an unexpected UTF-8 BOM in mkvextract that occurred when extracting subtitles.
