Release notes for GStreamer Base Plug-ins 0.10.32 "Your Life You Like It Well"
The GStreamer team is proud to announce a new release
in the 0.10.x stable series of the
GStreamer Base Plug-ins.
The 0.10.x series is a stable series targeted at end users.
This module contains a set of reference plugins, base classes for other
plugins, and helper libraries.
This module is kept up-to-date together with the core developments. Element
writers should look at the elements in this module as a reference for
their development.
This module contains elements for, among others:
device plugins: x(v)imagesink, alsa, v4lsrc, cdparanoia
containers: ogg
codecs: vorbis, theora
text: textoverlay, subparse
sources: audiotestsrc, videotestsrc, gnomevfssrc, giosrc
network: tcp
typefind functions
audio processing: audioconvert, adder, audiorate, audioresample, volume
visualisation: libvisual
video processing: ffmpegcolorspace
aggregate elements: uridecodebin, playbin2, decodebin2, decodebin, playbin, encodebin
libraries: app, audio, cdda, fft, interfaces, netbuffer, pbutils, riff, rtp, rtsp, sdp, tag, video
Other modules containing plug-ins are:
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
Features of this release
* GLib requirement is now >= 2.22, gobject-introspection >= 0.9.12
* New encodebin element
* New encoding profile and encoding targets API in pbutils
* audioresample: corrected buffer duration calculation to account for nonzero initial timestamp
* audioresample: provide as much valid output ts and offset as valid input
* audioresample: push half a history length, instead of a full history length, at end-of-stream so that output segment and input segment have same duration
* decodebin2: deprecate new-decoded-pad and removed-decoded-pad signals (use "pad-added" and "pad-removed" instead)
* multifdsink: add first and last buffer's timestamp to the stats; only keep last valid timestamp
* oggdemux: extract more tags (vorbis comment headers, Kate)
* oggdemux: ignore header pages when looking for keyframe; set headers on caps
* oggdemux: fix interpretation of Theora granule position and parsing of Theora size
* oggparse: Set DELTA_UNIT on buffers
* playbin2: delay stream-changed messages, fixing KATE subtitle recognition
* textoverlay: make text, xpos, ypos, color, and silent properties controllable
* typefinding: (E)AC-3 and ISO typefinder improvements; add yuv4mpeg typefinder
* typefinding: add "stream-format" to h264 caps, and framed=false to DTS caps
* typefinding: assume EBML files without doctype are matroska
* videorate: fix behaviour for frame rate cap changes
* vorbisdec: avoid using invalid timestamps; keep timestamps when no decoded output
* ximagesink, xvimagesink: add read-only window-width and window-height properties
* baseaudiopay: fix timestamps on buffer lists
* baseaudiosink: protect against ringbuffer disappearing while in a query
* basedepay: add support for buffer lists in the depayloader
* basertppay: use RTP base time when invalid timestamps
* rtpbuffer: relax arrangement for RTP bufferlists
* rtpdepayloader: add support for getting events
* rtppayload: copy applied rate to segment
* sdp: add method to check for multicast addresses
* sdp: only parse TTL for IP4 addresses
* video: add 8-bit paletted RGB, YUV9, YVU9 and IYU1 video formats
* video: return correct component width/height for A420
