| Release notes for GStreamer Good Plug-ins 0.10.25 "Woe to You Oh Earth and Sea" |
| |
| |
| |
| The GStreamer team is proud to announce a new release |
| in the 0.10.x stable series of the |
| GStreamer Good Plug-ins. |
| |
| |
| 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. |
| |
| |
| |
| "Such ingratitude. After all the times I've saved your life." |
| |
| |
| A collection of plug-ins you'd want to have right next to you on the |
| battlefield. Shooting sharp and making no mistakes, these plug-ins have it |
| all: good looks, good code, and good licensing. Documented and dressed up |
| in tests. If you're looking for a role model to base your own plug-in on, |
| here it is. |
| |
| |
| If you find a plot hole or a badly lip-synced line of code in them, |
| let us know - it is a matter of honour for us to ensure Blondie doesn't look |
| like he's been walking 100 miles through the desert without water. |
| |
| |
| This module contains a set of plug-ins that we consider to have good quality |
| code, correct functionality, our preferred license (LGPL for the plug-in |
| code, LGPL or LGPL-compatible for the supporting library). |
| We believe distributors can safely ship these plug-ins. |
| People writing elements should base their code on these elements. |
| |
| |
| Other modules containing plug-ins are: |
| |
| |
| gst-plugins-base |
| contains a basic set of well-supported plug-ins |
| 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 |
| |
| * v4l2src: massive performance improvement in many cases |
| * streaming mode fixes for avi and matroska/webm |
| * seeking in matroska and webm files that don't have an index |
| * new cpureport element for debugging |
| * avidemux: improve VBR audio stream handling |
| * avidemux: streaming mode fixes: use proper offset for movi-based index, handle 0-size data chunks |
| * debugutils: new element cpureport, posts "cpu-report" element messages on bus |
| * flacdec, rtspsrc, rtph264pay, rtpmp4vdepay: memory leak fixes |
| * gconfvideosrc: use correct GConf key (ie. not the audiosrc key) |
| * gdkpixbuf: remove gdkpixbuf3 plugin again, gdk-pixbuf was split out of gtk+ and will stay at 2.x |
| * id3v2mux: write beats-per-minute tag using TBPM frame |
| * jpegdec: fix markers parsing regression |
| * matroskademux: do not error out on a block with unknown tracknumber |
| * matroskademux: fix streaming in case where the size in bytes is unknown |
| * matroskademux: handle bogus files storing ADTS AAC data |
| * matroskademux: support seeking in local files even if they don't have an index |
| * matroskamux: don't try to seek back and fix up headers if streamable=TRUE |
| * pulsesink: fix race when creating multiple pulsesinks at the same time |
| * qtdemux: also calculate PAR using track width and height for QT files |
| * qtdemux: fix the max/avg in btrt atom reading |
| * qtdemux: improve reverse playback |
| * qtdemux: parse 64-bit version of mvhd atom as well instead of erroring out |
| * qtdemux: prevent reading past avc1 atom when parsing |
| * rtpg729pay: avoid basertppayload perfect-rtptime mode |
| * rtph263pdepay: allow more clock-rates as input |
| * rtpL16depay: also parse encoding-params for the number of channels |
| * rtpL16depay: default to 1 channel if number of channels not specified |
| * rtpmp4gpay: implement perfect timestamps |
| * rtspsrc: add "port-range" property, useful for setups with firewall/ipsec |
| * rtspsrc: don't reuse udp sockets (avoids odd errors when data from previous streams is received) |
| * udpsrc: add "reuse" property to enable or disable port reuse (enabled by default, but disabled in rtspsrc) |
| * v4l2: sort formats in the right order so that non-emulated formats are prefered |
| * videobalance: fix wrong locking order that could lead to a deadlock |
| * videomixer: only reset QoS information and send a NEWSEGMENT event downstream for NEWSEGMENT events on the master pad |
