Features of this release
- * Threadsafe design and API
- * registry: do plugin scanning (on *nix) using an external helper binary
- * lots of performance improvements all over the place (ghostpads,
- multiqueue, pad construction, superfluous type checks, registry loading)
- * add GstByteWriter, a simple generic byte writer
- * filesink: Use _wfopen on win32 to open files with non-ascii filenames correctly.
- * queue2: add option to remove the temp-file (enabled by default)
- * it is now allowed to use gst_caps_set_simple() on non-simple caps
- * queue2: move from gst-plugins-base into the coreelements plugin in core
- (this means you may need to remove libgstqueue2.so manually if you
- installed from source and don't do make uninstall before upgrading, or
- combine an older -base with a newer core)
- * multiqueue: add support for buffering mode where we post BUFFERING
- messages based on the level of the queues
- * typefind: speed up typefinding a lot by first trying the typefinder for
- the file's extension
- * buffer: remove private/internal subbuffer subclass and keep track of
- the parent buffer directly in the GstBuffer structure (this removes
- quite a bit of special-casing and will allow for future improvements/
- extensions that are harder to do if there's a separate subbuffer class.
- * collectpads: add ability to install clipping functions
- * new tags for TV/Radio shows/episodes, lyrics, composer sortname and
- grouping
- * miniobject: avoid race when recycling buffers
- * basesrc: fix race in PLAYING->PAUSED->PLAYING
+ * Added pts/dts to buffers
+ * Moved controller into core
+ * Pad probe rewrite
+ * AcceptCaps and GetCaps made as queries
+ * Added parent to pad functions
+ * Sticky events rewrite
+ * New GstSample object
+ * Asynchronous state change support for basesrc
+ * Added new bitmask type
+ * GstMemory updates
+ * Port to gio
+ * Port to newest glib
+ * Add stepped ranges
+ * Do typefind in separate thread
+ * Rework alloc tracing
+ * Added STREAM_CONFIG, GAP and STREAM_START events
+ * Various cleanups and leak fixes
