GStreamer: Release notes for GStreamer 0.8.0 "Executive Slacks"
The GStreamer team is happy to announce the first release
in the 0.8.x stable series
of the GStreamer streaming-media framework.
The 0.8.x series is a stable series aimed at end users.
It is not API or ABI compatible with the stable 0.6.x series.
It is, however, parallel installable with the 0.6.x series.
This module only contains core functionality. For actual media playback,
you will need other modules. GStreamer Plugins contains a huge set of
additional plugins. GStreamer FFmpeg contains a plugin based on the popular
FFmpeg decoding library. These modules need not have the same source version
as the core, as long as they are in the 0.8.x series.
Features of this release
* Parallel installability with 0.6.x series
* Internationalization
* Dutch, French and Serbian translations
* Reworked capabilities and negotiation subsystem
* Reworked tagging subsystem
* Reworked interactivity subsystem (for DVD playback)
* Consistent error and debug signaling
* Dynamic debug logging
* Portability fixes
* Binding support fixes
* ChangeLog use
* Coding style consistency
Bugs fixed in this release
* 133653 : need to settle on coding style using indent and use it befor
* 136683 : Add padding to GstCaps [ABI change]
