GStreamer: Release notes for GStreamer 0.9.3 "Unregistered" The GStreamer team is petrified to announce a new release in the 0.9.x development series of the core of the GStreamer streaming media framework. The 0.9.x series is a development series and not recommended for end users. It is not API or ABI compatible with the stable 0.8.x series. It is, however, parallel installable with the 0.8.x series. The main focus of the 0.9 series is to make GStreamer threadsafe. This module, gstreamer, only contains core functionality. For actual media playback, you will need other modules. gst-plugins-base contains a basic set of well-supported plug-ins gst-plugins-good contains a set of well-supported plug-ins under our preferred license gst-plugins-ugly contains a set of well-supported plug-ins, but might pose problems for distributors gst-plugins-bad contains a set of less supported plug-ins that haven't passed the rigorous quality testing we expect Features of this release * Parallel installability with 0.8.x series * Threadsafe design and API * gst-register has been removed * Extensive documentation updates * BaseTransform reworked * Bus reworked; signal API added Bugs fixed in this release * 102980 : support incremental gst-register/compprep updates * 313897 : [0.9] registry rewrite * 314710 : gst_buffer_create_sub doesn't copy the GST_BUFFER_FLAGS * 315895 : gst_pad_query_convert src_val check * 316155 : MinGW compilation: glib-mkenums root path subtitution pro... * 316157 : MinGW compilation: Plugin exports Download You can find source releases of gstreamer in the download directory: http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/src/gstreamer/ GStreamer Homepage More details can be found on the project's website: http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/ Support and Bugs We use GNOME's bugzilla for bug reports and feature requests: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=GStreamer Developers CVS is hosted on cvs.freedesktop.org. All code is in CVS and can be checked out from there. Interested developers of the core library, plug-ins, and applications should subscribe to the gstreamer-devel list. If there is sufficient interest we will create more lists as necessary. Applications At this point, ports of existing applications to 0.9 are still experimental. A patch for Totem is maintained at http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=313086. A patch for Rhythmbox is maintained at http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=309609. Jamboree has a branch with the tag "jamboree-gst-0.9" that works against GStreamer 0.9. Flumotion has been mostly ported to 0.9 as well.
