It is not API or ABI -compatible with the 0.10.x series. It can, however, be installed in parallel -with the 0.10.x series and will not affect an existing 0.10.x installation. - -Major improvements include: more flexible memory handling; extensible and -negotiable metadata for buffers; caps negotiation and renegotiation mechanisms, -decoupled from buffer allocation; improved caps renegotiation; automatic -re-sending of state for dynamic pipelines; reworked and more fine-grained pad -probing; simpler and more descriptive audio and video caps; more efficient -allocation of buffers, events and other mini objects; improved timestamp -handling; support for gobject-inspection-based language bindings; countless -other improvements. - -Most of these changes involve the GStreamer plugin API. The application API -has changed comparatively little, and most applications should be fairly easy -to port to the new API. There is a porting guide available. - -The GStreamer team would like to thank everyone who helped bring this release -about, whether by submitting patches, reporting bugs, testing, sponsoring -development, attending hackfests, or simply supplying moral support. - -This is the end of a long development process, but also the beginning of -one. This release does not mark the pinnacle of perfection, but the point -where the team is content with the API and stability and quality of the code -base in general, especially compared to the old 0.10 series. - -There will be bugs to fix, and starting from this release there will be -distinct bug-fixing and feature development cycles, with the goal of getting -bug-fixes out quicker and unencumbered by other more risky changes. See - - http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/wiki/ReleasePlanning/RoadMap - -for a tentative road map and possible schedule. - -=== Modules - -This module, gstreamer, only contains core functionality. -For actual media playback, you will also need other modules: - - gst-plugins-base : a basic set of well-supported plugins - gst-plugins-good : a set of well-supported plugins under our preferred license - gst-plugins-ugly : a set of well-supported plugins, but might pose problems - for distributors - gst-plugins-bad : a set of less supported plugins that haven't passed the - rigorous quality testing we expect - gst-libav : a set of codecs plugins based on libav (formerly gst-ffmpeg) - -==== Download - -You can find source releases of gstreamer in the download directory: - - http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/src/gstreamer/ - -==== GStreamer Homepage - -More details can be found on the project's website: - - http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/ - -==== Support and Bugs - -We use GNOME's bugzilla for bug reports and feature requests: - - http://bugzilla.gnome.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=GStreamer - or - http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/bugs/ - -==== Developers - -GStreamer is stored in Git, hosted at git.freedesktop.org, and can be -cloned from there. Interested developers of the core library, plugins, and -applications should subscribe to the gstreamer-devel list and/or pop into -our #gstreamer IRC channel on Freenode. - -==== Contributors to this release - - Alban Browaeys - Alessandro Decina - Alexander Saprykin - Andoni Morales Alastruey - Andreas Frisch - Andre Moreira Magalhaes (andrunko) - Antoine Tremblay - Anton Belka - Arnaud Vrac - Bastian Winkler - Bastien Nocera - Brian Cameron - Christian Fredrik Kalager Schaller - Christophe Fergeau - Chun-wei Fan - Colin Walters - David Schleef - David Svensson Fors - Edward Hervey - Evan Nemerson - Fabrizio (Misto) Milo - Havard Graff - Idar Tollefsen - Jan Schmidt - Jason DeRose - Jens Georg - João Paulo Pizani Flor - Johan Boulé - Johan Dahlin - Josep Torra - Joshua M.
