- GStreamer "30 Second Frenchman" 0.3.4 released
-
- RELEASE NOTES
-
- The GStreamer team is happy to announce another release of the
- GStreamer streaming-media framework.
-
-Focus of this release
-
- This release fixes a few developer usability issues.
-
- A few of the API functions have been changed to offer better
- functionality and to be more consistent with other toolkits (GLib,
- GTK).
- Sample changes:
- * gst_elementfactory_make to gst_element_factory_make
- * GST_PADTEMPLATE_* to GST_PAD_TEMPLATE_*
-
- This release of GStreamer has been primarily made in support of
- RhythmBox. It should really work with their upcoming 0.2.0 release.
-
- The gst-launch parsing has been bisonified. This allows for better and
- more consistent command-line parsing. Accordingly, some changes in the
- dynamic pad treatment have been made as well.
- The registry handling has been changed. gst-register will now write to
- a local registry (in ~/.gstreamer/reg.xml) if it does not have
- permissions to write to the global registry. Normal applications not
- running as root will prefer this local registry if it exists, and fall
- back to the global otherwise.
- Also, a --gst-registry option has been added to all gst applications.
- If this is specified, then the application will ONLY use this
- registry. This is useful for testsuites inside the core as well as
- general testing of plugins.
-
- GStreamer is now in Gnome's Bugzilla. Please file bugs against us
- there whenever you find them !
-
-Changes in the 0.3.x tree
-
- The 0.3.x tree is our first tree using GLib 2.0 and libxml2 as the
- sole compile platform. We have also started including all our
- documentation in our RPMS starting this tree. People wanting to build
- GStreamer themselves with documentation should look at the DOCBUILDING
- file for some information on what packages are needed to build that
- successfully.
-
- Another new feature of this release tree is the gst-launch-ext
- command-line application. It uses predefined pipelines to play back
- media files based on their file extension. This means that you don't
- need to construct your own pipelines using gst-launch if all you want
- to do is play a file. Just type gst-launch-ext [filename] and the
- audiofile or movie plays for you. This of course also being a work in
- progress means that sometimes it might decide on the wrong pipeline,
- or cause jitter, as well as random headaches.
-
- For help building GStreamer, take a look at our [1]build help document
- .
-
-Updates and Enhancements in this release
-
- * Improved API naming
- * New registry handling, allowing for global, local or specified
- registry
- * bison parser
- * gst-launch-ext dynamic pad fixes
- * various fixes in mad and vorbisdec for RhythmBox
-
-Previously, in the 0.3.x tree
-
- * devhelp documentation
- * New and improved Props API
- * New master clock system
- * dxr3 plugin
- * libcolorspace plugin
- * Full dparams documentation
- * All functions documented (551 functions documented)
- * Python bindings
- * Portability fixes (no more C++ // style comments)
- * a52dec plugin updated to a52dec 0.7.3 API
- * gnome-vfs plugin updated to new seek api
- * Misc bug and caps fixes
- * SPEC files improvements
-
- More details on these features can be found on the project's website,
- [2]http://gstreamer.net/. Source tarballs are also mirrored at
- [3]http://gstreamer.net/releases/current/src/. If you use Red Hat (or
- possibly other RPM-based systems), RPMs for both GStreamer itself,
- external libraries and development tools not included in the standard
- reference distribution (RedHat 7.2) can be found in
- [4]http://gstreamer.net/releases/current/redhat.
-
- GStreamer is hosted on SourceForge, so support requests and bugs may
- be filed as usual. Interested developers of the core library, plugins,
- 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.
+Release notes for GStreamer Bad Plugins 1.6.0
-Contributors to this release
- Core
+The GStreamer team is proud to announce a new major feature release in the
+stable 1.x API series of your favourite cross-platform multimedia framework!
+
+
+This release has been in the works for more than a year and is packed with new
+features, bug fixes and other improvements.
+
+
+See
+http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/releases/1.6/
+for the full list of changes.
+
+
+
+"That an accusation?"
+
+
+No perfectly groomed moustache or any amount of fine clothing is going to
+cover up the truth - these plugins are Bad with a capital B.
+They look fine on the outside, and might even appear to get the job done, but
+at the end of the day they're a black sheep. Without a golden-haired angel
+to watch over them, they'll probably land in an unmarked grave at the final
+showdown.
+
+
+Don't bug us about their quality - exercise your Free Software rights,
+patch up the offender and send us the patch on the fastest steed you can
+steal from the Confederates. Because you see, in this world, there's two
+kinds of people, my friend: those with loaded guns and those who dig.
+You dig.
+
+
+This module contains a set of plugins that aren't up to par compared to the
+rest. They might be close to being good quality, but they're missing something
+- be it a good code review, some documentation, a set of tests, a real live
+maintainer, or some actual wide use. If the blanks are filled in they might be
+upgraded to become part of either gst-plugins-good or gst-plugins-ugly,
+depending on the other factors.
+If the plugins break, you can't complain - instead, you can fix the
+problem and send us a patch, or bribe someone into fixing them for you.
+New contributors can start here for things to work on.
