2 Release notes for GStreamer 0.10.32 "Take Me to the Bonus Level"
6 The GStreamer team is proud to announce a new release
7 in the 0.10.x stable series of the
8 core of the GStreamer streaming media framework.
11 The 0.10.x series is a stable series targeted at end users.
14 This module, gstreamer, only contains core functionality.
15 For actual media playback, you will need other modules.
18 contains a basic set of well-supported plug-ins
20 contains a set of well-supported plug-ins under our preferred license
22 contains a set of well-supported plug-ins, but might pose problems for
25 contains a set of less supported plug-ins that haven't passed the
26 rigorous quality testing we expect
32 Features of this release
34 * GLib requirement is now >= 2.22
35 * New core element: valve (moved from -bad)
36 * New core element: input-selector (N.B. without "select-all" property, use fsfunnel instead) (moved from -bad)
37 * New core element: output-selector (with different negotiation behaviour by default, set pad-negotiation-mode=active for previous behaviour) (moved from -bad)
38 * Performance improvements for many heavily-used code paths: GstPad, GstPoll, GstClock, GstTask, basesink, basesrc, queue2, multiqueue
39 * gobject-introspection: add annotations for most core API
40 * clock: make sync clock wait lockfree
41 * fdsrc/fdsink: reenable on MSVC
42 * registry: fix GStatBuf definition for win32 when building against older glib (fixes unnecessary rescanning of plugins at start-up)
43 * element: add a more flexible way to get request pads from elements
44 * multiqueue: return upon input when already eos
45 * object: fix creation of default name (when creating more than 100000 elements)
46 * pluginloader: fix hangs on OSX
47 * poll: fixes for (p)select backend (used e.g. on OSX)
48 * poll: refactor and make more lockfree; fixes for win32 and OSX (pselect backend)
49 * registry: don't replace valid existing plugins by blacklisted ones
50 * tags: don't produce duplicated entries when merging same value twice
51 * basesink: preroll fixes for async=false case
52 * basesink: rework position reporting code
53 * basetransform: handle downstream giving a buffer with new caps but invalid size
