GStreamer "Mother Theresa" 0.6.3 released
|
||
|
||
The GStreamer team is proud to announce an updated version in the
|
||
ABI-stable 0.6.x series.
|
||
|
||
At this point in time GStreamer is fully functional for creating
|
||
audio-based applications, as shown by applications such as
|
||
gnome-sound-recorder, [1]rhythmbox, [2]sound-juicer and
|
||
nautilus-media.
|
||
|
||
The video part is known to be somewhat less functional than the audio
|
||
part, but applications such as [3]gst-player works very well, and a
|
||
port of [4]Totem is in progress in GNOME CVS.
|
||
|
||
We will also be releasing a development 0.7 release series, in which
|
||
we will work on such things as the remaining issues, such as the
|
||
interactivity support which is needed for DVD menus and SWF (Flash).
|
||
This means developers working on apps needing these services can use
|
||
the 0.7 series for development and then enable 0.6 support as these
|
||
additions optionally get backported to 0.6 once they are stable and
|
||
work well.
|
||
|
||
The GStreamer applications we ship all check for both gstreamer-0.6,
|
||
gstreamer-libs-0.6 and gstreamer-play-0.6; if those aren't found the
|
||
0.7 version of those files are checked for. We suggest anyone making
|
||
GStreamer-based apps do the same.
|
||
|
||
We are starting to have a really nice collection of applications under
|
||
development using GStreamer. If you are looking for something specific
|
||

|
||
Support and Bugs
|
||
|
||
We use [24]Gnome's Bugzilla for bug reports and feature requests. The
|
||
"product name" is GStreamer (capital G). Please do the following
|
||
before writing a bug report :
|
||
gst-feedback &> feedback 2>&1
|
||
|
||
and attach the file "feedback" to your bug report, so that we have
|
||
some information useful in the debugging process.
|
||
|
||
Developers
|
||
|
||
GStreamer is [25]hosted on SourceForge. All code is in CVS and can be
|
||
checked out 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.
|
||
|
||
We are still looking for people with access to FreeBSD, Solaris,
|
||
HP-UX, Irix and True64 that would be willing to try building and
|
||
testing GStreamer. Patches fixing such problems are also more than
|
||
welcome.
