| 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 |
| |
