Release notes for GStreamer 0.10.9 "On the road again" The GStreamer team is proud to announce a new release in the 0.10.x stable series of the core of the GStreamer streaming media framework. The 0.10.x series is a stable series targeted at end users. 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. The 0.10.x series has been reworked for threadsafety. It also features various feature additions and enchancements. 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 * Parallel installability with 0.8.x series * Threadsafe design and API * The testsuite can now generate coverage information * Better support for non-linear editing * Removed Glib 2.6 compatibility * Performance improvements on cpus that support branch hints * Bug fixes Bugs fixed in this release * 346730 : some warnings about enums and macros * 341029 : Ghostpads internal and target should be linked from the b... * 346192 : [PATCH] Pad blocking on events * 347384 : [ghostpad] padtemplates shouldn't be set automatically * 344115 : [patch] make more internal data const * 324176 : gst-element-check-0.x.m4 should use versioned gst-inspect * 330379 : Bogus commits to basesink, basetransform, collectpads * 341667 : restore_from_xml breaks pad links again after creating them * 344642 : tools/gst-inspect.c does not compile if --disable-nls is ... * 344748 : Fails with non-writable registry * 344849 : GstController doesn't handle float properties correct * 345086 : [gst-feedback] calls un-versioned tools * 346097 : SIGSEGV when using --gst-plugin-load * 347337 : GDP does not correctly deserialize events without a struc... * 347408 : basesrc causes regressions in pull with 0 bytes * 345720 : Bad performance playing files off CD * 331727 : make probes and Ghostpads more elegant * 343196 : basetransform not handles ro/rw buffer flagging for trans... * 346663 : Segmentation error with fakesrc, fakesink and a filter Download You can find source releases of gstreamer in the download directory: http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/src/gstreamer/ GStreamer Homepage More details can be found on the project's website: http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/ Support and Bugs We use GNOME's bugzilla for bug reports and feature requests: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=GStreamer Developers CVS is hosted on cvs.freedesktop.org.
