- GStreamer "Desperately Seeking Sexiness" 0.4.0 released
-
- The GStreamer team is happy to announce another release of the
- GStreamer streaming-media framework. We are quickly moving forward at
- this time and more and more applications using GStreamer are popping
- up. Please see the [1]release page for availability of source and
- binary packages.
-
-Updates and Enhancements
-
- General
-
- * Graphical pipeline editor (gst-editor) ported to GNOME 2.0
- * Autobuild system using [2]bitches to generate good RPMs
- * Apt for rpm repository for GStreamer and plug-in dependencies on
- RedHat 7.2 and 7.3, for both Ximian Red-Carpet Gnome 2 and
- Gnomehide. See [3]http://gstreamer.net/releases/redhat/
- * Red-Carpet GStreamer channel under construction.
- * GConf schemas distributed for centralised sink settings
- * Moved to [4]http://bugzilla.gnome.org/ for bug reports. Bugzilla
- is more convenient than SourceForge's system, and Gnome already
- has a system running. Thanks to Gnome for the support.
- * Created a gst-feedback script to gather system information to be
- added to a bug report for better debugging.
-

-
-Known Issues
-
- GStreamer currently ships with two schedulers, named 'basic' and
- 'standard'. Basic is the one we have been shipping for a long time now
- and is still the default in GStreamer 0.4.0. There are however some
- limitations and threadrelated bugs in basic. These limitations are not
- present in standard, but unfortunately standard does not work with
- i686 glibc atm due to differences in the way threads are handled
- compared to other architectures including i386. We hope to get the
- remaining issues in standard fixed before 0.4.1 and use that as
- default.
-
- As for the bugs in basic we did not feel they warranted not releasing
- 0.4.0 as they are rather obscure. For instance if you are using
- Rhythmbox you will need to be playing over 500 songs nonstop to
- trigger it.
-
- If you want to test the standard scheduler, run your GStreamer
- application with --gst-scheduler=standard

- More details on these features can be found on the project's website,
- [8]http://gstreamer.net/.
-
-Support
-
- We use [9]Gnome's Bugzilla for bug reports and feature requests. The
- "product name" is GStreamer (capital G). Please do the following
- before writing a bug report :
-gst-feedback > feedback 2>&1
-
- and attach the file "feedback" to your bug report, so that we have
- some information useful in the debugging process.
-
-Developers
-
- GStreamer is [10]hosted on SourceForge. 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.
-
- We are still looking for people with access to Solaris, HP-UX, Irix
- and True64 that would be willing to try building and testing
- GStreamer. Patches fixing such problems are also more than welcome.

+The GStreamer team is proud to announce a new feature release
+in the 1.x stable series of the
+core of the GStreamer streaming media framework.
+
+
+The 1.x series is a stable series targeted at end users.
+It is not API or ABI compatible with the stable 0.10.x series.
+It is, however, parallel installable with the 0.10.x series and
+will not affect an existing 0.10.x installation.
+
+
+The 1.x series has been reworked for more flexible memory handling, improved
+caps negotiation and re-negotiation, better handling of dynamic pipelines,
+and increased performance in general. It also features countless other feature
+additions and enhancements.
+
+
+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 plugins
+gst-plugins-good
+contains a set of well-supported plugins under our preferred license
+gst-plugins-ugly
+contains a set of well-supported plugins, but might pose problems for
+ distributors
+gst-plugins-bad
+contains a set of less supported plugins that haven't passed the
+ rigorous quality testing we expect, or are still missing documentation
+ and/or unit tests
+gst-libav
+contains a set of codecs plugins based on libav (formerly gst-ffmpeg)
+
+
+
+
+
+Bugs fixed in this release
+
+ * 706551 : gsttestclock check failed
+ * 708605 : testclock: Does not handle unscheduled entries correctly
+ * 708636 : collectpads: Should set *all* its pads to flushing when set_flushing is called, not only the ones in the public list
+ * 708668 : context: Potential regression
