-Release notes for GStreamer 0.10.30 "Safety First"
+Release notes for GStreamer 0.10.32 "Take Me to the Bonus Level"
The 0.10.x series is a stable series targeted at 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 0.10.x series has been reworked for threadsafety. It also features
-various feature additions and enhancements.
This module, gstreamer, only contains core functionality.
Features of this release
- * GLib requirement was bumped to 2.20, automake requirement to 1.10
- * bin: unlock gst_element_get_state() on error, instead of hanging forever if no timeout is given
- * clock: fix refcounting bug in gst_clock_set_master
- * caps: make sure _normalize() is applied on all structures
- * info: add new TRACE log level and move refcounting there from LOG level
- * pad: don't check twice for changed caps per push
- * pad: fix iterator aggregation of all pads in the internal links fallback
- * tagsetter: protect tagsetter operations with a lock
- * value: support short fourccs (esp. serialisation/deserialisation)
- * adapter: fix _try_to_merge_up(); optimize progressive masked scans
- * basesink: implement percentage position and duration queries
- * basesink: fix segment query return value
- * basetransform: add accept_caps vmethod
- * basetransform: re-evaluate proxy_alloc when reconfigured
- * basetransform: assume in_size equals out_size if there's no transform_size/get_unit_size vfunc
- * fdsink, filesink: make sync property work correctly
- * typefind: make sure buffers' metadata is writable before setting caps on them
- * queue2: fix merging of ranges
- * queue2: don't wait for data when EOS
- * queue2: don't ignore failure to open the temporary file location
- * tools: make gst-launch print things correctly to stderr/stdout and make --quiet work correctly
- * introspection: add many more gobject-introspection annotations
- * xml: serialisation/deserialisation to/from XML has been deprecated, since it's always been broken
- for all but the most trivial pipelines, and will likely never be fixed
+ * GLib requirement is now >= 2.22
+ * New core element: valve (moved from -bad)
+ * New core element: input-selector (N.B. without "select-all" property, use fsfunnel instead) (moved from -bad)
+ * New core element: output-selector (with different negotiation behaviour by default, set pad-negotiation-mode=active for previous behaviour) (moved from -bad)
+ * Performance improvements for many heavily-used code paths: GstPad, GstPoll, GstClock, GstTask, basesink, basesrc, queue2, multiqueue
+ * gobject-introspection: add annotations for most core API
+ * clock: make sync clock wait lockfree
+ * fdsrc/fdsink: reenable on MSVC
+ * registry: fix GStatBuf definition for win32 when building against older glib (fixes unnecessary rescanning of plugins at start-up)
+ * element: add a more flexible way to get request pads from elements
+ * multiqueue: return upon input when already eos
+ * object: fix creation of default name (when creating more than 100000 elements)
+ * pluginloader: fix hangs on OSX
+ * poll: fixes for (p)select backend (used e.g. on OSX)
+ * poll: refactor and make more lockfree; fixes for win32 and OSX (pselect backend)
+ * registry: don't replace valid existing plugins by blacklisted ones
+ * tags: don't produce duplicated entries when merging same value twice
+ * basesink: preroll fixes for async=false case
+ * basesink: rework position reporting code
+ * basetransform: handle downstream giving a buffer with new caps but invalid size
