| GStreamer: Release notes for GStreamer Plugins 0.8.7 "Hyperspace" |
| |
| |
| The GStreamer team is happy to announce a new release |
| in the 0.8.x stable series of the GStreamer Plugins. |
| |
| |
| The 0.8.x series is a stable series aimed at end users. |
| It is not API or ABI compatible with the stable 0.6.x series. |
| It is, however, parallel installable with the 0.6.x series. |
| |
| |
| This module contains plugins providing media encoding and decoding, |
| conversion, effects, and other elements that provide actual media |
| handling functionality to the core. You need the GStreamer core module |
| to make them work. The versions do not need to match exactly, as long |
| as all of them are in the 0.8.x series. |
| |
| |
| The FFmpeg-based decoder element has been moved to its own module. If you |
| want support for a lot of popular video formats, you need to install this |
| module along with the GStreamer Core and Plugins. An FFmpeg-based colorspace |
| element has been added to the Plugins however. |
| |
