- GStreamer "Desperately Seeking Sexiness" 0.4.0 released
-
- The GStreamer team is happy to announce another release of the

-
- General
-
- * Graphical pipeline editor (gst-editor) ported to GNOME 2.0

- * Red-Carpet GStreamer channel under construction.
- * GConf schemas distributed for centralised sink settings

- 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
+Release notes for GStreamer 0.10.19 "Me again"
+
+
+
+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.
+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.
+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
