Highlights: - x264enc: allow changing bitrate and quantizers dynamically at runtime - x264enc: proxy downstream caps restrictions upstream via get_caps() - lamemp3enc: proxy downstream rate/channels restrictions upstream via get_caps() - mad: allow build without libid3tag (which isn't really needed anyway) - many other fixes and improvements

Release notes for GStreamer Ugly Plug-ins 0.10.18 "Extra Life"
|
||
|
||
|
||
The GStreamer team is proud to announce a new release
|
||
in the 0.10.x stable series of the
|
||
GStreamer Ugly Plug-ins.
|
||
|
||
|
||
The 0.10.x series is a stable series targeted at 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.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
"When you have to shoot, shoot. Don't talk."
|
||
|
||
|
||
There are times when the world needs a color between black and white.
|
||
Quality code to match the good's, but two-timing, backstabbing and ready to
|
||
sell your freedom down the river. These plug-ins might have a patent noose
|
||
around their neck, or a lock-up license, or any other problem that makes you
|
||
think twice about shipping them.
|
||
|
||
|
||
We don't call them ugly because we like them less. Does a mother love her
|
||
son less because he's not as pretty as the other ones ? No - she commends
|
||
him on his great personality. These plug-ins are the life of the party.
|
||
And we'll still step in and set them straight if you report any unacceptable
|
||
behaviour - because there are two kinds of people in the world, my friend:
|
||
those with a rope around their neck and the people who do the cutting.
|
||
|
||
|
||
This module contains a set of plug-ins that have good quality and correct
|
||
functionality, but distributing them might pose problems. The license
|
||
on either the plug-ins or the supporting libraries might not be how we'd
|
||
like. The code might be widely known to present patent problems.
|
||
Distributors should check if they want/can ship these plug-ins.
|
||
|
||
|
||
Other modules containing plug-ins are:
|
||
|
||
|
||
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-bad
|
||
contains a set of less supported plug-ins that haven't passed the
|
||
rigorous quality testing we expect

Developers
|
||
|
||
GStreamer is stored in Git, hosted at git.freedesktop.org, and can be cloned 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.
