- 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.
-
- Core
-
- * New much improved registry system implemented.
- * New event-driven seek support. Event system is now working and
- implemented

- * OSS plug-in fixes
- * Audiofile plug-in works again (depends on upstream patch getting
- included)
- * lavencode plug-in renamed yuv4mpeg
- * Synaesthesia plug-in added to gst-visualisation packages
- * [6]Jack plug-in working and packaged -- CVS Jack required
- * Floatcast plug-in added

-
-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
+Release notes for GStreamer 0.10.32 "Take Me to the Bonus Level"
+
+
+
+The GStreamer team is proud to announce a new release
+in the 0.10.x stable series of the
+core of the GStreamer streaming media framework.
+
+
+The 0.10.x series is a stable series targeted at end users.
+
+
+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
+
+ * 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 (use atomic ops make many code-paths

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.
+GStreamer is stored in Git, hosted at git.freedesktop.org, and can be cloned 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
