Release notes for GStreamer 1.0.0
|
|
|
|
The GStreamer project is pleased to announce the very first release of the
|
|
new API and ABI-stable 1.x series of the GStreamer multimedia framework.
|
|
|
|
The 1.x series is a stable series targeted at end users. It is not API or ABI
|
|
compatible with the 0.10.x series. It can, however, be installed in parallel
|
|
with the 0.10.x series and will not affect an existing 0.10.x installation.
|
|
|
|
Major improvements include: more flexible memory handling; extensible and
|
|
negotiable metadata for buffers; caps negotiation and renegotiation mechanisms,
|
|
decoupled from buffer allocation; improved caps renegotiation; automatic
|
|
re-sending of state for dynamic pipelines; reworked and more fine-grained pad
|
|
probing; simpler and more descriptive audio and video caps; more efficient
|
|
allocation of buffers, events and other mini objects; improved timestamp
|
|
handling; support for gobject-inspection-based language bindings; countless
|
|
other improvements.
|
|
|
|
Most of these changes involve the GStreamer plugin API. The application API
|
|
has changed comparatively little, and most applications should be fairly easy
|
|
to port to the new API. There is a porting guide available.
|
|
|
|
The GStreamer team would like to thank everyone who helped bring this release
|
|
about, whether by submitting patches, reporting bugs, testing, sponsoring
|
|
development, attending hackfests, or simply supplying moral support.
|
|
|
|
This is the end of a long development process, but also the beginning of
|
|
one. This release does not mark the pinnacle of perfection, but the point
|
|
where the team is content with the API and stability and quality of the code
|
|
base in general, especially compared to the old 0.10 series.
|
|
|
|
There will be bugs to fix, and starting from this release there will be
|
|
distinct bug-fixing and feature development cycles, with the goal of getting
|
|
bug-fixes out quicker and unencumbered by other more risky changes. See
|
|
|
|
http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/wiki/ReleasePlanning/RoadMap
|
|
|
|
for a tentative road map and possible schedule.
|
|
|
|
=== Modules
|
|
|
|
This module, gstreamer, only contains core functionality.
|
|
For actual media playback, you will also need other modules:
|
|
|
|
gst-plugins-base : a basic set of well-supported plugins
|
|
gst-plugins-good : a set of well-supported plugins under our preferred license
|
|
gst-plugins-ugly : a set of well-supported plugins, but might pose problems
|
|
for distributors
|
|
gst-plugins-bad : a set of less supported plugins that haven't passed the
|
|
rigorous quality testing we expect
|
|
gst-libav : a set of codecs plugins based on libav (formerly gst-ffmpeg)
|
|
