| Release notes for GStreamer Base Plugins 1.0.9 |
| |
| |
| The GStreamer team is proud 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. |
| |
| |
| |
| This module contains a set of reference plugins, base classes for other |
| plugins, and helper libraries. It also includes essential elements such |
| as audio and video format converters, and higher-level components like playbin, |
| decodebin, encodebin, and discoverer. |
| |
| This module is kept up-to-date together with the core developments. Element |
| writers should look at the elements in this module as a reference for |
| their development. |

| |
| device plugins: x(v)imagesink, alsa, v4lsrc, cdparanoia |
| containers: ogg |
| codecs: vorbis, theora |
| text: textoverlay, subparse |
| sources: audiotestsrc, videotestsrc, giosrc |
| network: tcp |
