Introduction
- The GStreamer Rust bindings and Rust plugins module are now
officially part of upstream GStreamer.
+- The GStreamer Editing Services gained a gesdemux element that allows
+ directly playing back serialized edit list with playbin or
+ (uri)decodebin
+
- Many performance improvements
Raw audio samples are usually passed around in interleaved form in
GStreamer, which means that if there are multiple audio channels the
-samples for each channel are interleaved in memory, e.g.
-|LEFT|RIGHT|LEFT|RIGHT|LEFT|RIGHT| for stereo audio. A non-interleaved
-or planar arrangement in memory would look like
+samples for each channel are interleaved in memory,
+e.g. |LEFT|RIGHT|LEFT|RIGHT|LEFT|RIGHT| for stereo audio. A
+non-interleaved or planar arrangement in memory would look like
|LEFT|LEFT|LEFT|RIGHT|RIGHT|RIGHT| instead, possibly with
|LEFT|LEFT|LEFT| and |RIGHT|RIGHT|RIGHT| residing in separate memory
chunks or separated by some padding.
- ccconverter: a closed caption converter that can convert between
different formats
-- line21decoder: extract line21 closed captions from SD video streams
+- line21encoder, line21decoder: inject/extract line21 closed captions
+ to/from SD video streams
- cc708overlay: decodes CEA 608/708 captions and overlays them on
video
- qtdemux and qtmux support CEA 608/708 Closed Caption tracks
-- mpegvideoparse extracts Closed Captions from MPEG-2 video streams
+- mpegvideoparse, h264parse extracts Closed Captions from MPEG-2/H.264
+ video streams
+
+- avviddec, avvidenc, x264enc got support for extracting/injecting
+ Closed Captions
- decklinkvideosink can output closed captions and decklinkvideosrc
can extract closed captions
GstVideoOverlayCompositions on a stream. The element will emit the
"draw" signal for each video buffer, and the application then
generates an overlay for that frame (or not). This is much more
- performant than e.g. cairooverlay for many use cases, e.g. because
+ performant than e.g. cairooverlay for many use cases, e.g. because
pixel format conversions can be avoided or the blitting of the
overlay can be delegated to downstream elements (such as
gloverlaycompositor). It’s particularly useful for cases where only
or uridecodebin3 etc.
- New closed caption elements: cccombiner, ccextractor, ccconverter,
- line21decoder and cc708overlay (see above)
+ line21encoder, line21decoder and cc708overlay (see above)
- wpesrc: new source element acting as a Web Browser based on WebKit
WPE
- "reset-muxer" property: when unset, the muxer is reset using
flush events instead of setting its state to NULL and back. This
- means the muxer can keep state across resets, e.g. mpegtsmux
+ means the muxer can keep state across resets, e.g. mpegtsmux
will keep the continuity counter continuous across segments as
required by hlssink2.
- rtpjitterbuffer has improved end-of-stream handling
-- rtpmp4vpay will be prefered over rtpmp4gpay for MPEG-4 video in
+- rtpmp4vpay will be preferred over rtpmp4gpay for MPEG-4 video in
autoplugging scenarios now
- rtspsrc now allows applications to send RTSP SET_PARAMETER and
- srtpdec, srtpenc: add support for MKIs which allow multiple keys to
be used with a single SRTP stream
+- srtpdec, srtpenc: add support for AES-GCM and also add support for
+ it in gst-rtsp-server and rtspsrc.
+
- The srt Secure Reliable Transport plugin has integrated server and
client elements srt{client,server}{src,sink} into one (srtsrc and
srtsink), since SRT connection mode can be changed by uri
"connector-properties" can be used to pass custom properties to the
DRM.
-- waylandsink has a "fullscreen" property now.
+- waylandsink has a "fullscreen" property now and supports the
+ XDG-Shell protocol.
+
+- decklinkvideosink, decklinkvideosrc support selecting between
+ half/full duplex
+
+- The vulkan plugin gained support for macOS and iOS via MoltenVK in
+ addition to the existing support for X11 and Wayland
+
+- imagefreeze has a new num-buffers property to limit the number of
+ buffers that are produced and to send an EOS event afterwards
+
+- webrtcbin has a new, introspectable get-transceiver signal in
+ addition to the old get-transceivers signal that couldn’t be used
+ from bindings
+
+- Support for per-element latency information was added to the latency
+ tracer
Plugin and library moves
- gst_audio_buffer_truncate() convenience function to truncate a raw
audio buffer
+- GstDiscoverer has support for caching the results of discovery in
+ the default cache directory. This can be enabled with the use-cache
+ property and is disabled by default.
+
+- GstMeta that are attached to GstBuffers are now always stored in the
+ order in which they were added.
+
+- Additional support for signalling ONVIF specific features were
+ added: the SEEK event can store a trickmode-interval now and support
+ for the Rate-Control and Frames RTSP headers was added to the RTSP
+ library.
+
Miscellaneous performance and memory optimisations
import DMABUF FDs and also directly pass the pixel format, relying
on the GPU to do the conversion.
+- The OpenGL library no longer restores the OpenGL viewport. This is a
+ performance optimization to not require performing multiple
+ expensive glGet*() function calls per frame. This affects any
+ application or plugin use of the following functions and objects:
+ - glcolorconvert library object (not the element)
+ - glviewconvert library object (not the element)
+ - gst_gl_framebuffer_draw_to_texture()
+ - custom GstGLWindow implementations
+
Tracing framework and debugging improvements
- There is now a GDB PRETTY PRINTER FOR VARIOUS GSTREAMER TYPES: For
GstObject pointers the type and name is added, e.g.
0x5555557e4110 [GstDecodeBin|decodebin0]. For GstMiniObject pointers
- the object type is added, e.g. 0x7fffe001fc50 [GstBuffer]. For
+ the object type is added, e.g. 0x7fffe001fc50 [GstBuffer]. For
GstClockTime and GstClockTimeDiff the time is also printed in human
- readable form, e.g. 150116219955 [+0:02:30.116219955].

object. This is currently limited to pads for GstElements and
events for the pads. The output may look like this:

-
- gst_structure_to_string() now serialises the actual value of
pointers when serialising GstStructures instead of claiming they’re
NULL. This makes debug logging in various places less confusing,
GStreamer VAAPI
-- this section will be filled in in due course
+- Support Wayland’s display for context sharing, so the application
+ can pass its own wl_display in order to be used for the VAAPI
+ display creation.
+
+- A lot of work to support new Intel hardware using media-driver as VA
+ backend.
+
+- For non-x86 devices, VAAPI display can instantiate, through DRM,
+ with no PCI bus. This enables the usage of libva-v4l2-request
+ driver.
+
+- Added support for XDG-shell protocol as wl_shell replacement which
+ is currently deprecated. This change add as dependency
+ wayland-protocol.
+
+- GstVaapiFilter, GstVaapiWindow, and GstVaapiDecoder classes now
+ inherit from GstObject, gaining all the GStreamer’s instrumentation
+ support.
+
+- The metadata now specifies the plugin as Hardware class.
+
+- H264 decoder is more stable with problematic streams.
+
+- In H265 decoder added support for profiles main-422-10 (P010_10LE),
+ main-444 (AYUV) and main-444-10 (Y410)
+
+- JPEG decoder handles dynamic resolution changes.
+
+- More specification adherence in H264 and H265 encoders.
GStreamer OMX
GStreamer Editing Services and NLE
-- this section will be filled in in due course

+ allows decoding edit list like files supported by GES
+
+- Added gessrc which wraps a GESTimeline as a standard source element
+ (implementing the ges protocol handler)
+
+- Added basic support for videorate::rate property potentially
+ allowing changing playback speed
+
+- Layer priority is now fully automatic and they should be moved with
+ the new ges_timeline_move_layer method, ges_layer_set_priority is
+ now deprecated.
+
+- Added a ges_timeline_element_get_layer_priority so we can simply get
+ all information about GESTimelineElement position in the timeline
+
+- GESVideoSource now auto orientates the images if it is defined in a
+ meta (overridable).
+
+- Added some PyGObject overrides to make the API more pythonic
+
+- The threading model has been made more explicit with safe guard to
+ make sure not thread safe APIs are not used from the wrong threads.
+ It is also now possible to properly handle in what thread the API
+ should be used.
+
+- Optimized GESClip and GESTrackElement creation
+
+- Added a way to compile out the old, unused and deprecated
+ GESPitiviFormatter
+
+- Re implemented the timeline editing API making it faster and making
+ the code much more maintainable
+
+- Simplified usage of nlecomposition outside GES by removing quirks in
+ it API usage and removing the need to treat it specially from an
+ application perspective.
+
+- ges-launch-1.0:
+
+ - Added support to add titles to the timeline
+ - Enhance the help auto generating it from the code
+
+- Deprecate ges_timeline_load_from_uri as loading the timeline should
+ be done through a project now
+
+- MANY leaks have been plugged and the unit testsuite is now “leak
+ free”
GStreamer validate
-- this section will be filled in in due course
+- Added an action type to verify the checksum of the sink last-sample
+
+- Added an include keyword to validate scenarios
+
+- Added the notion of variable in scenarios, with the set-vars keyword
+
+- Started adding support for “performance” like tests by allowing to
+ define the number of dropped buffers or the minimum buffer frequency
+ on a specific pad
+
+- Added a validateflow plugin which allows defining the data flow to
+ be seen on a particular pad and verifying that following runs match
+ the expectations
+
+- Added support for appsrc based test definition so we can instrument
+ the data pushed into the pipeline from scenarios
+
+- Added a mockdecryptor allowing adding tests with on encrypted files,
+ the element will potentially be instrumented with a validate
+ scenario
+
+- gst-validate-launcher:
+
+ - Cleaned up output
+
+ - Changed the default for “muting” tests as user doesn’t expect
+ hundreds of windows to show up when running the testsuite
+
+ - Fixed the outputted xunit files to be compatible with GitLab
+
+ - Added support to run tests on media files in push mode (using
+ pushfile://)

+ suppressions lines
+
+ - Added a way to rerun tests to check if they are flaky and added
+ a way to tolerate tests known to be flaky
+
+ - Add a way to output html log files
GStreamer Python Bindings
- Rust 1.31 is the minimum supported Rust version now
- Update to latest gir code generator and glib bindings
-- Functions returning e.g. gst::FlowReturn or other “combined” enums
+- Functions returning e.g. gst::FlowReturn or other “combined” enums
were changed to return split enums like
Result<gst::FlowSuccess, gst::FlowError> to allow usage of the
standard Rust error handling.
used in order to re-produce a specific build. To set a manifest, you
can set manifest = 'my_manifest.xml' in your configuration file, or
use the --manifest command line option. The command line option will
- take precendence over anything specific in the configuration file.
+ take precedence over anything specific in the configuration file.
- The new build-deps command can be used to build only the
dependencies of a recipe, without the recipe itself.
section in the Cerbero documentation for more details how to enable
and use these variants.
+- When building on Windows, Cerbero can now build GStreamer recipes
+ and core dependencies such as glib with Visual Studio. This is
+ controlled by the visualstudio variant. Visual Studio 2015, 2017,
+ and 2019 are supported. Currently, only 64-bit x86 is supported due
+ to a known bug which will be fixed for the next release.

-Bugs fixed in 1.16
-
-- this section will be filled in in due course
-
-More than XXX bugs have been fixed during the development of 1.16.
-
-This list does not include issues that have been cherry-picked into the
-stable 1.16 branch and fixed there as well, all fixes that ended up in
-the 1.16 branch are also included in 1.16.
-
-This list also does not include issues that have been fixed without a
-bug report in bugzilla, so the actual number of fixes is much higher.
