GStreamer: Release notes for GStreamer 0.9.2 "South"
The GStreamer team is petrified to announce a new release
in the 0.9.x development series of the
core of the GStreamer streaming media framework.
The 0.9.x series is a development series and not recommended for 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 main focus of the 0.9 series is to make GStreamer threadsafe.
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

Developers
CVS is hosted on cvs.freedesktop.org.
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
At this point, ports of existing applications to 0.9 are still experimental.
A patch for Totem is maintained at
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=313086.
A patch for Rhythmbox is maintained at
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=309609.
Jamboree has a branch with the tag "jamboree-gst-0.9" that works against
GStreamer 0.9.
