GStreamer 1.18 Release Notes
|
||
|
||
These release notes are a placeholder, please bear with us while we
|
||
finish writing up the real thing.
|
||
|
||
GStreamer 1.18.0 has not yet been released. It is scheduled for release
|
||
in late August / early September 2020.
|
||
|
||
1.17.x is the unstable development series that is currently being
|
||
developed in the git master branch and which will eventually result in
|
||
1.18, and 1.17.90 is the current 1.18 pre-release in that series.
|
||
|
||
1.18 will be backwards-compatible to the stable 1.16, 1.14, 1.12, 1.10,
|
||
1.8, 1.6, 1.4, 1.2 and 1.0 release series.
|
||
|
||

Introduction
|
||
|
||
The GStreamer team is proud to announce a new major feature release in
|
||
the stable 1.x API series of your favourite cross-platform multimedia
|
||
framework!
|
||
|
||
As always, this release is again packed with many new features, bug
|
||
fixes and other improvements.

Miscellaneous performance and memory optimisations
|
||
|
||
As always there have been many performance and memory usage improvements
|
||
across all components and modules. Some of them have already been
|
||
mentioned elsewhere so won’t be repeated here.
|
||
|
||
The following list is only a small snapshot of some of the more
|
||
interesting optimisations that haven’t been mentioned in other contexts

Build and Dependencies
|
||
|
||
- The Autotools build system has finally been removed in favour of the
|
||
Meson build system. Developers who currently use gst-uninstalled
|
||
should move to gst-build.
|
||
|
||
- API and plugin documentation are no longer built with gtk_doc. The
|
||
gtk_doc documentation has been removed in favour of a new unified
|
||
documentation module built with hotdoc. The intention is to
|
||
distribute the generated documentation in form of tarballs alongside
|
||
releases.
|
||
|
||
- FIXME
|
||
|
||
Cerbero
|
||
|
||
Cerbero is a meta build system used to build GStreamer plus dependencies
|
||
on platforms where dependencies are not readily available, such as
|
||
Windows, Android, iOS and macOS.
|
||
|
||
Cerbero has seen a number of improvements:

||

||

||
… and many others who have contributed bug reports, translations, sent
|
||
suggestions or helped testing.

|
||
Stable 1.18 branch
|
||
|
||
After the 1.18.0 release there will be several 1.18.x bug-fix releases
|
||
which will contain bug fixes which have been deemed suitable for a
|
||
stable branch, but no new features or intrusive changes will be added to
|
||
a bug-fix release usually. The 1.18.x bug-fix releases will be made from
|
||
the git 1.18 branch, which will be a stable branch.
|
||
|
||
1.18.0
|
||
|
||
1.18.0 has not been released yet.

||
|
||

|
||
|
||
Schedule for 1.20
|
||
|
||
Our next major feature release will be 1.20, and 1.19 will be the
|
||
unstable development version leading up to the stable 1.20 release. The
|
||
development of 1.19/1.20 will happen in the git master branch.
|
||
|
||
The plan for the 1.20 development cycle is yet to be confirmed.
|
||
|
||
1.20 will be backwards-compatible to the stable 1.18, 1.16, 1.14, 1.12,
|
||
1.10, 1.8, 1.6, 1.4, 1.2 and 1.0 release series.
