Release notes for GStreamer 1.0.5
|
||
|
||
|
||
The GStreamer team is pleased to announce a new bug-fix release
|
||
in the 1.x stable series of the
|
||
core of the GStreamer streaming media framework.
|
||
|
||
|
||
The 1.x series is a stable series targeted at end users.
|
||
It is not API or ABI compatible with the stable 0.10.x series.
|
||
It is, however, parallel installable with the 0.10.x series and
|
||
will not affect an existing 0.10.x installation.
|
||
|
||
|
||
The 1.x series has been reworked for more flexible memory handling, improved
|
||
caps negotiation and re-negotiation, better handling of dynamic pipelines,
|
||
and increased performance in general. It also features countless other 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 plugins
|
||
gst-plugins-good
|
||
contains a set of well-supported plugins under our preferred license
|
||
gst-plugins-ugly
|
||
contains a set of well-supported plugins, but might pose problems for
|
||
distributors
|
||
gst-plugins-bad
|
||
contains a set of less supported plugins that haven't passed the
|
||
rigorous quality testing we expect, or are still missing documentation
|
||
and/or unit tests
|
||
gst-libav
|
||
contains a set of codecs plugins based on libav (formerly gst-ffmpeg)
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Features of this release
|
||
|
||
* add GST_BIN_FLAG_NO_RESYNC flag that disables a resync when
|
||
an element is added, removed or linked in the bin; this is
|
||
interesting for complex bins that dynamically add elements
|
||
to themselves and want to manage the state of those elements
|
||
without interference from state resync threads (which may
|
||
cause deadlocks)
|
||
* add OTHER clock type
|
||
|
||
Bugs fixed in this release
|
||
|
||
* 690915 : Replace AM_CONFIG_HEADER with AC_CONFIG_HEADERS in configure.ac
|
||
|
||
API changes in this release
|
||
|
||
- API additions:
|
||
|
||
* GST_BIN_FLAG_NO_RESYNC
|
||
* GST_CLOCK_TYPE_OTHER
