GStreamer "Moo" 0.6.4 released
|
2003-01-22 14:13:55 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2003-10-13 18:15:25 +00:00
|
|
|
The GStreamer team is proud to announce a new version in the
|
2003-06-09 21:18:12 +00:00
|
|
|
ABI-stable 0.6.x series.
|
2003-01-22 14:13:55 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2003-02-02 00:55:01 +00:00
|
|
|
At this point in time GStreamer is fully functional for creating
|
|
|
|
audio-based applications, as shown by applications such as
|
2003-08-26 15:33:17 +00:00
|
|
|
gnome-sound-recorder, [1]rhythmbox, [2]sound-juicer and
|
2003-06-09 21:18:12 +00:00
|
|
|
nautilus-media.
|
2003-01-22 14:13:55 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2003-06-09 21:18:12 +00:00
|
|
|
The video part is known to be somewhat less functional than the audio
|
2003-10-13 18:15:25 +00:00
|
|
|
part, but applications such as [3]gst-player work very well.
|
2003-01-22 14:13:55 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2003-02-02 00:55:01 +00:00
|
|
|
We will also be releasing a development 0.7 release series, in which
|
2003-10-13 18:15:25 +00:00
|
|
|
we will work on the remaining issues, such as the interactivity
|
|
|
|
support which is needed for DVD menus and SWF (Flash). This means
|
|
|
|
developers working on apps needing these services can use the 0.7
|
|
|
|
series for development and then enable 0.6 support as these additions
|
|
|
|
optionally get backported to 0.6 once they are stable and work well.
|
2003-01-22 14:13:55 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2003-02-02 00:55:01 +00:00
|
|
|
The GStreamer applications we ship all check for both gstreamer-0.6,
|
|
|
|
gstreamer-libs-0.6 and gstreamer-play-0.6; if those aren't found the
|
|
|
|
0.7 version of those files are checked for. We suggest anyone making
|
|
|
|
GStreamer-based apps do the same.
|
2003-01-22 14:13:55 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2003-02-02 00:55:01 +00:00
|
|
|
We are starting to have a really nice collection of applications under
|
|
|
|
development using GStreamer. If you are looking for something specific

We use [39]Gnome's Bugzilla for bug reports and feature requests. The
|
2003-01-22 14:13:55 +00:00
|
|
|
"product name" is GStreamer (capital G). Please do the following
|
|
|
|
before writing a bug report :
|
|
|
|
gst-feedback &> feedback 2>&1
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and attach the file "feedback" to your bug report, so that we have
|
|
|
|
some information useful in the debugging process.

GStreamer is [40]hosted on SourceForge. All code is in CVS and can be
|
2003-01-22 14:13:55 +00:00
|
|
|
checked out from there. Interested developers of the core library,
|
|
|
|
plug-ins, and applications should subscribe to the gstreamer-devel
|
|
|
|
list. If there is sufficient interest we will create more lists as
|
|
|
|
necessary.
|
|
|
|
|
2003-02-02 00:55:01 +00:00
|
|
|
We are still looking for people with access to FreeBSD, Solaris,
|
|
|
|
HP-UX, Irix and True64 that would be willing to try building and
|
|
|
|
testing GStreamer. Patches fixing such problems are also more than
|
|
|
|
welcome.
