Release notes for GStreamer 0.7.4 "Wooden Eels"
|
||
|
||
The GStreamer team is happy to announce a new release in the 0.7.x
|
||
development series of the GStreamer streaming-media framework. The
|
||
goal of this release series is to stabilize towards a 0.8 release
|
||
series which will be part of the GNOME 2.6 releases and hopefully
|
||
eventually KDE 4.x.
|
||
|
||
The 0.7 series is a development series and is aimed at developers. It
|
||
is NOT API or ABI compatible with the stable 0.6.x series or with
|
||
other releases in the series. This means you can not use this release
|
||
to upgrade your current GStreamer installation and expect your
|
||
GStreamer applications to keep working without a recompile. It is,
|
||
however, parallel installable with the 0.6.x series.
|
||
|
||
Features of this release
|
||
|
||
* Merged the new caps system
|
||

||

additional debug information for developer feedback

* Updated Dutch and French translations

||
* Reworked clocking
|
||

|
||

|
||
* Memleak fixes in core elements
|
||
* Largely rewritten Plugin Writer's Guide
|
||
* Unversioned tools that wrap all present and future versioned tools
|
||
to help packagers
|
||

|
||
* Lots of bugfixes

More details can be found on the project's website,
|

|
||
|
||
Support and Bugs
|
||
|
||
We use Gnome's bugzilla for [16]bug reports and feature requests.
|
||
|
||
Developers
|
||
|
||
CVS is hosted on cvs.freedesktop.org. You can [17]browse the gstreamer
|
||
repository. 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.
|
||
|
||
Applications
|
||
|
||
As mentioned there are some changes in API/ABI between the 0.6.x and
|
||
0.7.x releases. Many applications will probably be source compatible
|
||
between 0.6.x. and 0.7.x however. [18]Rhythmbox and [19]Sound Juicer
|
||
for instance work very well when compiled on 0.7.x. GStreamer Player
|
||
does not work across releases however, so we will make a separate
|
||
release of gst-player with the needed fixes for it to work with 0.7.x.
|
||
This release contains the core fixes we were waiting for to port the
|
||
player over so expect a gst-player release in the near future.
