+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.

-
-
-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

- * Many bug-fixes and enhancements
- *
+ * 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
+ * gobject-introspection: add annotations for most core API
+ * clock: make sync clock wait lockfree
+ * fdsrc/fdsink: reenable on MSVC

+ * 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
