Release notes for GStreamer

2005-12-05 18:05:01 +00:00
The GStreamer team is proud to announce a new release
in the 0.10.x stable series of the
2005-06-18 22:33:14 +00:00
core of the GStreamer streaming media framework.
2004-03-09 17:50:43 +00:00
2005-12-05 18:05:01 +00:00
The 0.10.x series is a stable series targeted at end users.
2005-06-18 22:33:14 +00:00
It is not API or ABI compatible with the stable 0.8.x series.
It is, however, parallel installable with the 0.8.x series.
2004-03-09 17:50:43 +00:00
2005-12-05 18:05:01 +00:00
The 0.10.x series has been reworked for threadsafety. It also features
2008-01-28 23:27:13 +00:00
various feature additions and enhancements.
2005-06-18 22:33:14 +00:00
This module, gstreamer, only contains core functionality.
For actual media playback, you will need other modules.

gst-plugins-base
contains a basic set of well-supported plug-ins
gst-plugins-good
contains a set of well-supported plug-ins under our preferred license
gst-plugins-ugly
contains a set of well-supported plug-ins, but might pose problems for
distributors
gst-plugins-bad
contains a set of less supported plug-ins that haven't passed the
rigorous quality testing we expect

Features of this release
2010-04-27 22:42:12 +00:00
* improve plugin loading robustness: do not ever unload a plugin after calling into it: should fix mystery crashers during registry loading when a plugin init function returns FALSE (e.g. when some supporting library fails to initialise or a wrapper plugin found no features to wrap and wrongly returned FALSE)
* configurable memory alignment for GstBuffers
* add QoS message to inform apps of lost data, dropped frames etc.
* basesink, basetransform: add support for new QoS message
* basetransform: accept non-fixed caps suggestions
* basesrc: fix gst_base_src_new_seamless_segment()
* GstController fixes and optimisations
* set thread name for pad tasks on Linux
* pipeline, bin: fix refcount issue when removing elements during a state change
* queue2: implement seeking in download mode
* queue2: implement flushing in download buffering
* queue2: improve buffer level measurement in download mode
* fdsrc: allow specifying the size in bytes on the uri
* build fixes: better checks for uint128_t, inline assembly on OSX, compilation if HAVE_REGISTER_PRINTF_SPECIFIER is undefined, gobject-introspection
* two symbols were removed that had been exported but never been used or been declared in any header file: gst_element_default_error and gst_element_request_compatible_pad
