+Release notes for GStreamer Base Plug-ins 0.10.26 "You will know when you get there"
Features of this release
- * Experimental GIO plugin
- * Continued playbin2 development
- * RTP fixes
- * Better network element support on Windows
- * Various other bug-fixes and improvements
+ * Parallel installability with 0.8.x series
+ * Threadsafe design and API
+ * playbin2: make about-to-finish signal work for raw sources (e.g. audio CDs)
+ * playbin2: fix handling of the native audio/video flags
+ * playbin2: add flag to enable decodebin buffering
+ * playbin2: make subtitle error handling more robust and ignore late errors
+ * playbin2: improve subtitle passthrough in uridecodebin
+ * playbin2: new subtitleoverlay element for generic subtitle overlaying
+ * playbin2: proxy notify::volume and notify::mute from the volume/mute
+ elements (or audio sink)
+ * playbin2: don't stop completely on initialization errors from subtitle
+ elements; instead disable the subtitles and play the other
+ parts of the stream
+ * decodebin2: rewrite autoplugging and how groups of pads are exposed
+ * uridecodebin: add use-buffering property that will perform buffering on
+ parsed or demuxed media.
+ * GstXOverlay: flesh out docs and add example for use with Gtk+ >= 2.18
+ * libgsttag: add utility functions for ISO-639 language codes and tags
+ * oggdemux: use internal granulepos<->timestamp mapper and make oggdemux
+ more like a 'normal' demuxer that outputs timestamps
+ * oggdemux: seeking improvements
+ * subparse: add qttext support
+ * ffmpegcolorspace: prefer transforming alpha formats to alpha formats
+ and the other way around
+ * libgstvideo: add functions to create/parse still frame events.
+ * theoraenc: make the default quality property 48.
+ * videotestsrc: add pattern with out-of-gamut colors
+ * theora: port to 'new' theora 1.0 API; make misc. existing properties
+ have no effect (quick, keyframe-mindistance, noise-sensitivity,
+ sharpness, keyframe_threshold); those either never worked or
+ aren't needed/provided/useful any longer with the newer API
+ * typefinding: misc. performance improvements and fixes
+ * baseaudiosink: make drift tolerance configurable
