GStreamer "Private Dancer" 0.5.0 released
|
||
|
||
The GStreamer team is happy to announce another release of the
|
||
GStreamer streaming-media framework. This release has mainly focused
|
||
on code clean-up and rounding out of the features. Large chunks of
|
||
GStreamer are API stable at this point.
|
||
|
||
This is a development release, in which we test several new features
|
||
and change installs and break stuff ! Do not update unless you are a
|
||
developer or willing to deal with issues that will crop up. You have
|
||
been warned ;)
|
||
|
||
From now on, GStreamer will follow a versioning scheme similar to
|
||
kernel and GTK+/GLib releases. Odd minor numbers (like for this
|
||
release) will be development releases. While GStreamer itself is very
|
||
much under development, during stable releases we will guarantee API-
|
||
and ABI-stability. The point of this development release cycle is to
|
||
support Gnome 2.1.x development.
|
||
|
||
GStreamer major-minor series versions will now be
|
||
parallel-installable. Please update your applications to check for
|
||
gstreamer-0.5, gstreamer-libs-0.5 and gstreamer-play-0.5 using
|
||
pkg-config.
|
||
|
||
Our development currently focuses on the following items:
|
||
* Increase stability and portability of scheduler
|
||
* Add more video editing specific plugins
|
||
* Improve plugins currently used by existing applications
|
||
* Create language bindings
|
||
|
||
We are starting to have a really nice collection of applications under
|
||
development using GStreamer. If you are looking for something specific
|
||
check out our [1]applications status page.

|
||
|
||
Support and Bugs
|
||
|
||
We use [3]Gnome's Bugzilla for bug reports and feature requests. The
|
||
"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.
|
||
|
||
Developers
|
||
|
||
GStreamer is [4]hosted on SourceForge. All code is in CVS and can be
|
||
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.
|
||
|
||
We are still looking for people with access to 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.
