Release notes for GStreamer 0.10.26 "Think Twice"
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
The GStreamer team is proud to announce a new release
|
||
in the 0.10.x stable series of the
|
||
core of the GStreamer streaming media framework.
|
||
|
||
|
||
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.
|
||
|
||
|
||
The 0.10.x series has been reworked for threadsafety. It also features
|
||
various feature additions and enhancements.
|
||
|
||
|
||
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
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Features of this release
|
||
|
||
* Threadsafe design and API
|
||
* registry: do plugin scanning (on *nix) using an external helper binary
|
||
* lots of performance improvements all over the place (ghostpads,
|
||
multiqueue, pad construction, superfluous type checks, registry loading)
|
||
* add GstByteWriter, a simple generic byte writer
|
||
* filesink: Use _wfopen on win32 to open files with non-ascii filenames correctly.
|
||
* queue2: add option to remove the temp-file (enabled by default)
|
||
* it is now allowed to use gst_caps_set_simple() on non-simple caps
|
||
* queue2: move from gst-plugins-base into the coreelements plugin in core
|
||
(this means you may need to remove libgstqueue2.so manually if you
|
||
installed from source and don't do make uninstall before upgrading, or
|
||
combine an older -base with a newer core)
|
||
* multiqueue: add support for buffering mode where we post BUFFERING
|
||
messages based on the level of the queues
|
||
* typefind: speed up typefinding a lot by first trying the typefinder for
|
||
the file's extension
|
||
* buffer: remove private/internal subbuffer subclass and keep track of
|
||
the parent buffer directly in the GstBuffer structure (this removes
|
||
quite a bit of special-casing and will allow for future improvements/
|
||
extensions that are harder to do if there's a separate subbuffer class.
|
||
* collectpads: add ability to install clipping functions
|
||
* new tags for TV/Radio shows/episodes, lyrics, composer sortname and
|
||
grouping
|
||
* miniobject: avoid race when recycling buffers
|
||
* basesrc: fix race in PLAYING->PAUSED->PLAYING
|
||
|
||

|
||
will create more lists as necessary.
|
||
|
||
|
||

||
|
||
Applications ported to GStreamer 0.10 include Totem, RhythmBox, Sound-Juicer,
|
||
Gnome Media, Flumotion, Amarok, Jamboree, Pitivi, Istanbul, AnnoAmp, Elisa, and others.
|
