Thanks to Gnome for the support. + * Created a gst-feedback script to gather system information to be + added to a bug report for better debugging. - This release of GStreamer has been primarily made in support of - RhythmBox. It should really work with their upcoming 0.2.0 release. + Core - The gst-launch parsing has been bisonified. This allows for better and - more consistent command-line parsing. Accordingly, some changes in the - dynamic pad treatment have been made as well. - The registry handling has been changed. gst-register will now write to - a local registry (in ~/.gstreamer/reg.xml) if it does not have - permissions to write to the global registry. Normal applications not - running as root will prefer this local registry if it exists, and fall - back to the global otherwise. - Also, a --gst-registry option has been added to all gst applications. - If this is specified, then the application will ONLY use this - registry. This is useful for testsuites inside the core as well as - general testing of plugins. + * New much improved registry system implemented. + * New event-driven seek support.

We have also started including all our - documentation in our RPMS starting this tree. People wanting to build - GStreamer themselves with documentation should look at the DOCBUILDING - file for some information on what packages are needed to build that - successfully. +Known Issues - Another new feature of this release tree is the gst-launch-ext - command-line application. It uses predefined pipelines to play back - media files based on their file extension. This means that you don't - need to construct your own pipelines using gst-launch if all you want - to do is play a file. Just type gst-launch-ext [filename] and the - audiofile or movie plays for you. This of course also being a work in - progress means that sometimes it might decide on the wrong pipeline, - or cause jitter, as well as random headaches. + GStreamer currently ships with two schedulers, named 'basic' and + 'standard'. Basic is the one we have been shipping for a long time now + and is still the default in GStreamer 0.4.0. There are however some + limitations and threadrelated bugs in basic. These limitations are not + present in standard, but unfortunately standard does not work with + i686 glibc atm due to differences in the way threads are handled + compared to other architectures including i386. We hope to get the + remaining issues in standard fixed before 0.4.1 and use that as + default. - For help building GStreamer, take a look at our [1]build help document - . + As for the bugs in basic we did not feel they warranted not releasing + 0.4.0 as they are rather obscure. For instance if you are using + Rhythmbox you will need to be playing over 500 songs nonstop to + trigger it. -Updates and Enhancements in this release + If you want to test the standard scheduler, run your GStreamer + application with --gst-scheduler=standard - * Improved API naming - * New registry handling, allowing for global, local or specified - registry - * bison parser - * gst-launch-ext dynamic pad fixes - * various fixes in mad and vorbisdec for RhythmBox - -Previously, in the 0.3.x tree - - * devhelp documentation - * New and improved Props API - * New master clock system - * dxr3 plugin - * libcolorspace plugin - * Full dparams documentation - * All functions documented (551 functions documented) - * Python bindings - * Portability fixes (no more C++ // style comments) - * a52dec plugin updated to a52dec 0.7.3 API - * gnome-vfs plugin updated to new seek api - * Misc bug and caps fixes - * SPEC files improvements +GStreamer Homepage More details on these features can be found on the project's website, - [2]http://gstreamer.net/.
