1 This is GStreamer 0.10.0, "Maroilles".
3 Changes from the 0.8 series to 0.10 series:
5 * Refcounting and API revised for thread safety, see rules in
6 docs/design/part-MT-refcounting.txt
8 * Scheduling is now done by the elements, they start/stop
9 processing threads themselves. This removes the need for
12 * State changes now happen from sink to source. This makes sure
13 that downstream elements are ready to process data when upstream
16 * EOS/ERROR/... does not change the state of elements anymore. This
17 means that when the application sets the state on an element, it
18 remains in this state.
20 * GMainLoop integration. Information on the state of the pipeline
21 is now received in the mainloop via the GstBus.
23 * Events move separate from the datastream, this allows for both
24 in and out of sync delivery of events.
26 * Generic _pull() replaced by _pull_region() so that random access
29 * data passing happens from PAUSED, called the preroll phase. In this
30 state no data is rendered but it is queued in the sinks.
32 * negotiation simplified. Caps are now attached to buffers and travel
33 along with the datastream.
35 * GstBuffer is now subclassable.
37 * Ghostpads now look and feel like real pads.
39 * New Seeking/flushing policy.
41 * Addition of base classes and helper functions in the core to abstract
42 away the harder parts of plugin development.
46 * added Traditional Chinese translation
