Release 0.10.28

[platform/upstream/gstreamer.git] / NEWS

This is GStreamer 0.10.28 "Same Old, Same Old"

Changes since 0.10.27:

     * parse "1/MAX" fraction strings
     * no material changes compared to 0.10.27, this release is mostly to
       keep core/base version numbers in sync

Changes since 0.10.26:

      * basesrc: protect segment values from concurrent access from different threads
      * typefind: protect internal fields from concurrent changes from different threads
      * typefind: fix pad activation corner-case with have-type already having been emitted
      * typefind: reset the working mode when going to READY/NULL, fixes re-use from
        READY state as with decodebin2
      * gstpoll: fix crash when logging is enabled for GST_POLL
      * bytewriter: expose gst_byte_writer_put_{float32|float64}_*() properly in header
      * basesink: fix emergency rendering timestamp tracking
      * fdsink, fdsrc: fix compilation with MSVC
      * memindex: avoid busy loop when doing EXACT lookup

Bugs fixed since 0.10.26:

API additions since 0.10.26:

      * gst_byte_writer_fill()

Changes since 0.10.25:

      * 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

Changes from the 0.8 series to 0.10 series:

      * Refcounting and API revised for thread safety, see rules in
        docs/design/part-MT-refcounting.txt

      * Scheduling is now done by the elements, they start/stop
        processing threads themselves. This removes the need for 
        a separate scheduler.

      * State changes now happen from sink to source. This makes sure
        that downstream elements are ready to process data when upstream
        starts producing.

      * EOS/ERROR/... does not change the state of elements anymore. This
        means that when the application sets the state on an element, it
        remains in this state.

      * GMainLoop integration. Information on the state of the pipeline
        is now received in the mainloop via the GstBus.

      * Events move separate from the datastream, this allows for both
        in and out of sync delivery of events.

      * Generic _pull() replaced by _pull_region() so that random access
        can be made faster.

      * data passing happens from PAUSED, called the preroll phase. In this
        state no data is rendered but it is queued in the sinks.

      * negotiation simplified. Caps are now attached to buffers and travel
        along with the datastream. 

      * GstBuffer is now subclassable.

      * Ghostpads now look and feel like real pads.

      * New Seeking/flushing policy.

      * Addition of base classes and helper functions in the core to abstract
        away the harder parts of plugin development.
