| Release notes for GStreamer Base Plugins 1.7.1 |
| |
| |
| The GStreamer team is pleased to announce the first release of the unstable |
| 1.7 release series. The 1.7 release series is adding new features on top of |
| the 1.0, 1.2, 1.4 and 1.6 series and is part of the API and ABI-stable 1.x release |
| series of the GStreamer multimedia framework. The unstable 1.7 release series |
| will lead to the stable 1.8 release series in the next weeks. Any newly added |
| API can still change until that point. |
| |
| |
| Binaries for Android, iOS, Mac OS X and Windows will be provided separately |
| during the unstable 1.7 release series. |
| |
| |

| 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. |

| containers: ogg |
| codecs: vorbis, theora |
| text: textoverlay, subparse |
| sources: audiotestsrc, videotestsrc, giosrc |
| network: tcp |
| typefind functions |
| audio processing: audioconvert, adder, audiorate, audioresample, volume |
| visualisation: libvisual |
