+
+
+Introduction
+
+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!
+
+As always, this release is again packed with many new features, bug
+fixes and other improvements.
+
+
+Highlights
+
+- GStreamer WebRTC stack gained support for data channels for
+ peer-to-peer communication based on SCTP, BUNDLE support, as well as
+ support for multiple TURN servers.
+
+- AV1 video codec support for Matroska and QuickTime/MP4 containers
+ and more configuration options and supported input formats for the
+ AOMedia AV1 encoder
+
+- Support for Closed Captions and other Ancillary Data in video
+
+- Support for planar (non-interleaved) raw audio
+
+- GstVideoAggregator, compositor and OpenGL mixer elements are now in
+ -base
+
+- New alternate fields interlace mode where each buffer carries a
+ single field
+
+- WebM and Matroska ContentEncryption support in the Matroska demuxer
+
+- new WebKit WPE-based web browser source element
+
+- Video4Linux: HEVC encoding and decoding, JPEG encoding, and improved
+ dmabuf import/export
+
+- Hardware-accelerated Nvidia video decoder gained support for VP8/VP9
+ decoding, whilst the encoder gained support for H.265/HEVC encoding.
+
+- Many improvements to the Intel Media SDK based hardware-accelerated
+ video decoder and encoder plugin (msdk): dmabuf import/export for
+ zero-copy integration with other components; VP9 decoding; 10-bit
+ HEVC encoding; video post-processing (vpp) support including
+ deinterlacing; and the video decoder now handles dynamic resolution
+ changes.
+
+- The ASS/SSA subtitle overlay renderer can now handle multiple
+ subtitles that overlap in time and will show them on screen
+ simultaneously
+
+- The Meson build is now feature-complete (*) and it is now the
+ recommended build system on all platforms. The Autotools build is
+ scheduled to be removed in the next cycle.
+
+- The GStreamer Rust bindings and Rust plugins module are now
+ officially part of upstream GStreamer.
+
+- The GStreamer Editing Services gained a gesdemux element that allows
+ directly playing back serialized edit list with playbin or
+ (uri)decodebin
+
+- Many performance improvements
+
+
+Major new features and changes
+
+Noteworthy new API
+
+- GstAggregator has a new "min-upstream-latency" property that forces
+ a minimum aggregate latency for the input branches of an aggregator.
+ This is useful for dynamic pipelines where branches with a higher
+ latency might be added later after the pipeline is already up and
+ running and where a change in the latency would be disruptive. This
+ only applies to the case where at least one of the input branches is
+ live though, it won’t force the aggregator into live mode in the
+ absence of any live inputs.
+
+- GstBaseSink gained a "processing-deadline" property and
+ setter/getter API to configure a processing deadline for live
+ pipelines. The processing deadline is the acceptable amount of time
+ to process the media in a live pipeline before it reaches the sink.
+ This is on top of the systemic latency that is normally reported by
+ the latency query. This defaults to 20ms and should make pipelines
+ such as v4l2src ! xvimagesink not claim that all frames are late in
+ the QoS events. Ideally, this should replace the "max-lateness"
+ property for most applications.
+
+- RTCP Extended Reports (XR) parsing according to RFC 3611:
+ Loss/Duplicate RLE, Packet Receipt Times, Receiver Reference Time,
+ Delay since the last Receiver (DLRR), Statistics Summary, and VoIP
+ Metrics reports. This only provides the ability to parse such
+ packets, generation of XR packets is not supported yet and XR
+ packets are not automatically parsed by rtpbin / rtpsession but must
+ be actively handled by the application.
+
+- a new mode for interlaced video was added where each buffer carries
+ a single field of interlaced video, with buffer flags indicating
+ whether the field is the top field or bottom field. Top and bottom
+ fields are expected to alternate in this mode. Caps for this
+ interlace mode must also carry a format:Interlaced caps feature to
+ ensure backwards compatibility.
+
+- The video library has gained support for three new raw pixel
+ formats:
+
+ - Y410: packed 4:4:4 YUV, 10 bits per channel
+ - Y210: packed 4:2:2 YUV, 10 bits per channel
+ - NV12_10LE40: fully-packed 10-bit variant of NV12_10LE32,
+ i.e. without the padding bits
+
+- GstRTPSourceMeta is a new meta that can be used to transport
+ information about the origin of depayloaded or decoded RTP buffers,
+ e.g. when mixing audio from multiple sources into a single stream. A
+ new "source-info" property on the RTP depayloader base class
+ determines whether depayloaders should put this meta on outgoing
+ buffers. Similarly, the same property on RTP payloaders determines
+ whether they should use the information from this meta to construct
+ the CSRCs list on outgoing RTP buffers.
+
+- gst_sdp_message_from_text() is a convenience constructor to parse
+ SDPs from a string which is particularly useful for language
+ bindings.
+
+Support for Planar (Non-Interleaved) Raw Audio
+
+Raw audio samples are usually passed around in interleaved form in
+GStreamer, which means that if there are multiple audio channels the
+samples for each channel are interleaved in memory,
+e.g. |LEFT|RIGHT|LEFT|RIGHT|LEFT|RIGHT| for stereo audio. A
+non-interleaved or planar arrangement in memory would look like
+|LEFT|LEFT|LEFT|RIGHT|RIGHT|RIGHT| instead, possibly with
+|LEFT|LEFT|LEFT| and |RIGHT|RIGHT|RIGHT| residing in separate memory
+chunks or separated by some padding.
+
+GStreamer has always had signalling for non-interleaved audio since
+version 1.0, but it was never actually properly implemented in any
+elements. audioconvert would advertise support for it, but wasn’t
+actually able to handle it correctly.
+
+With this release we now have full support for non-interleaved audio as
+well, which means more efficient integration with external APIs that
+handle audio this way, but also more efficient processing of certain
+operations like interleaving multiple 1-channel streams into a
+multi-channel stream which can be done without memory copies now.
+
+New API to support this has been added to the GStreamer Audio support
+library: There is now a new GstAudioMeta which describes how data is
+laid out inside the buffer, and buffers with non-interleaved audio must
+always carry this meta. To access the non-interleaved audio samples you
+must map such buffers with gst_audio_buffer_map() which works much like
+gst_buffer_map() or gst_video_frame_map() in that it will populate a
+little GstAudioBuffer helper structure passed to it with the number of
+samples, the number of planes and pointers to the start of each plane in
+memory. This function can also be used to map interleaved audio buffers
+in which case there will be only one plane of interleaved samples.
+
+Of course support for this has also been implemented in the various
+audio helper and conversion APIs, base classes, and in elements such as
+audioconvert, audioresample, audiotestsrc, audiorate.
+
+Support for Closed Captions and Other Ancillary Data in Video
+
+The video support library has gained support for detecting and
+extracting Ancillary Data from videos as per the SMPTE S291M
+specification, including:
+
+- a VBI (Vertical Blanking Interval) parser that can detect and
+ extract Ancillary Data from Vertical Blanking Interval lines of
+ component signals. This is currently supported for videos in v210
+ and UYVY format.
+
+- a new GstMeta for closed captions: GstVideoCaptionMeta. This
+ supports the two types of closed captions, CEA-608 and CEA-708,
+ along with the four different ways they can be transported (other
+ systems are a superset of those).
+
+- a VBI (Vertical Blanking Interval) encoder for writing ancillary
+ data to the Vertical Blanking Interval lines of component signals.
+
+The new closedcaption plugin in gst-plugins-bad then makes use of all
+this new infrastructure and provides the following elements:
+
+- cccombiner: a closed caption combiner that takes a closed captions
+ stream and another stream and adds the closed captions as
+ GstVideoCaptionMeta to the buffers of the other stream.
+
+- ccextractor: a closed caption extractor which will take
+ GstVideoCaptionMeta from input buffers and output them as a separate
+ closed captions stream.
+
+- ccconverter: a closed caption converter that can convert between
+ different formats
+
+- line21encoder, line21decoder: inject/extract line21 closed captions
+ to/from SD video streams
+
+- cc708overlay: decodes CEA 608/708 captions and overlays them on
+ video
+
+Additionally, the following elements have also gained Closed Caption
+support:
+
+- qtdemux and qtmux support CEA 608/708 Closed Caption tracks
+
+- mpegvideoparse, h264parse extracts Closed Captions from MPEG-2/H.264
+ video streams
+
+- avviddec, avvidenc, x264enc got support for extracting/injecting
+ Closed Captions
+
+- decklinkvideosink can output closed captions and decklinkvideosrc
+ can extract closed captions
+
+- playbin and playbin3 learned how to autoplug CEA 608/708 CC overlay
+ elements
+
+- the externally maintained ajavideosrc element for AJA capture cards
+ has support for extracting closed captions
+
+The rsclosedcaption plugin in the Rust plugins collection includes a
+MacCaption (MCC) file parser and encoder.
+
+New Elements
+
+- overlaycomposition: New element that allows applications to draw
+ GstVideoOverlayCompositions on a stream. The element will emit the
+ "draw" signal for each video buffer, and the application then
+ generates an overlay for that frame (or not). This is much more
+ performant than e.g. cairooverlay for many use cases, e.g. because
+ pixel format conversions can be avoided or the blitting of the
+ overlay can be delegated to downstream elements (such as
+ gloverlaycompositor). It’s particularly useful for cases where only
+ a small section of the video frame should be drawn on.
+
+- gloverlaycompositor: New OpenGL-based compositor element that
+ flattens any overlays from GstVideoOverlayCompositionMetas into the
+ video stream. This element is also always part of glimagesink.
+
+- glalpha: New element that adds an alpha channel to a video stream.
+ The values of the alpha channel can either be set to a constant or
+ can be dynamically calculated via chroma keying. It is similar to
+ the existing alpha element but based on OpenGL. Calculations are
+ done in floating point so results may not be identical to the output
+ of the existing alpha element.
+
+- rtpfunnel funnels together RTP streams into a single session. Use
+ cases include multiplexing and bundle. webrtcbin uses it to
+ implement BUNDLE support.
+
+- testsrcbin is a source element that provides an audio and/or video
+ stream and also announces them using the recently-introduced
+ GstStream API. This is useful for testing elements such as playbin3
+ or uridecodebin3 etc.
+
+- New closed caption elements: cccombiner, ccextractor, ccconverter,
+ line21encoder, line21decoder and cc708overlay (see above)
+
+- wpesrc: new source element acting as a Web Browser based on WebKit
+ WPE
+
+- Two new OpenCV-based elements: cameracalibrate and cameraundistort
+ that can communicate to figure out distortion correction parameters
+ for a camera and correct for the distortion.
+
+- New sctp plugin based on usrsctp with sctpenc and sctpdec elements.
+ These elements are used inside webrtcbin for implementing data
+ channels.
+
+New element features and additions
+
+- playbin3, playbin and playsink have gained a new "text-offset"
+ property to adjust the positioning of the selected subtitle stream
+ vis-a-vis the audio and video streams. This uses subtitleoverlay’s
+ new "subtitle-ts-offset" property. GstPlayer has gained matching API
+ for this, namely gst_player_get_text_video_offset().
+
+- playbin3 buffering improvements: in network playback scenarios there
+ may be multiple inputs to decodebin3, and buffering will be done
+ before decodebin3 using queue2 or downloadbuffer elements inside
+ urisourcebin. Since this is before any parsers or demuxers there may
+ not be any bitrate information available for the various streams, so
+ it was difficult to configure the buffering there smartly within
+ global constraints. This was improved now: The queue2 elements
+ inside urisourcebin will now use the new bitrate query to figure out
+ a bitrate estimate for the stream if no bitrate was provided by
+ upstream, and urisourcebin will use the bitrates of the individual
+ queues to distribute the globally-set "buffer-size" budget in bytes
+ to the various queues. urisourcebin also gained "low-watermark" and
+ "high-watermark" properties which will be proxied to the internal
+ queues, as well as a read-only "statistics" property which allows
+ querying of the minimum/maximum/average byte and time levels of the
+ queues inside the urisourcebin in question.
+
+- splitmuxsink has gained a couple of new features:
+
+ - new "async-finalize" mode: This mode is useful for muxers or
+ outputs that can take a long time to finalize a file. Instead of
+ blocking the whole upstream pipeline while the muxer is doing
+ its stuff, we can unlink it and spawn a new muxer + sink
+ combination to continue running normally. This requires us to
+ receive the muxer and sink (if needed) as factories via the new
+ "muxer-factory" and "sink-factory" properties, optionally
+ accompanied by their respective properties structures (set via
+ the new "muxer-properties" and "sink-properties" properties).
+ There are also new "muxer-added" and "sink-added" signals in
+ case custom code has to be called for them to configure them.
+
+ - "split-at-running-time" action signal: When called by the user,
+ this action signal ends the current file (and starts a new one)
+ as soon as the given running time is reached. If called multiple
+ times, running times are queued up and processed in the order
+ they were given.
+
+ - "split-after" action signal to finish outputting the current GOP
+ to the current file and then start a new file as soon as the GOP
+ is finished and a new GOP is opened (unlike the existing
+ "split-now" which immediately finishes the current file and
+ writes the current GOP into the next newly-started file).
+
+ - "reset-muxer" property: when unset, the muxer is reset using
+ flush events instead of setting its state to NULL and back. This
+ means the muxer can keep state across resets, e.g. mpegtsmux
+ will keep the continuity counter continuous across segments as
+ required by hlssink2.
+
+- qtdemux gained PIFF track encryption box support in addition to the
+ already-existing PIFF sample encryption support, and also allows
+ applications to select which encryption system to use via a
+ "drm-preferred-decryption-system-id" context in case there are
+ multiple options.
+
+- qtmux: the "start-gap-threshold" property determines now whether an
+ edit list will be created to account for small gaps or offsets at
+ the beginning of a stream in case the start timestamps of tracks
+ don’t line up perfectly. Previously the threshold was hard-coded to
+ 1% of the (video) frame duration, now it is 0 by default (so edit
+ list will be created even for small differences), but fully
+ configurable.
+
+- rtpjitterbuffer has improved end-of-stream handling
+
+- rtpmp4vpay will be preferred over rtpmp4gpay for MPEG-4 video in
+ autoplugging scenarios now
+
+- rtspsrc now allows applications to send RTSP SET_PARAMETER and
+ GET_PARAMETER requests using action signals.
+
+- rtspsrc has a small (100ms) configurable teardown delay by default
+ to try and make sure an RTSP TEARDOWN request gets sent out when the
+ source element shuts down. This will block the downward PAUSED to
+ READY state change for a short time, but can be disabled where it’s
+ a problem. Some servers only allow a limited number of concurrent
+ clients, so if no proper TEARDOWN is sent new clients may have
+ problems connecting to the server for a while.
+
+- souphttpsrc behaves better with low bitrate streams now. Before it
+ would increase the read block size too quickly which could lead to
+ it not reading any data from the socket for a very long time with
+ low bitrate streams that are output live downstream. This could lead
+ to servers kicking off the client.
+
+- filesink: do internal buffering to avoid performance regression with
+ small writes since we bypass libc buffering by using writev()
+ instead of fwrite()
+
+- identity: add "eos-after" property and fix "error-after" property
+ when the element is reused
+
+- input-selector: lets context queries pass through, so that
+ e.g. upstream OpenGL elements can use contexts and displays
+ advertised by downstream elements
+
+- queue2: avoid ping-pong between 0% and 100% buffering messages if
+ upstream is pushing buffers larger than one of its limits, plus
+ performance optimisations
+
+- opusdec: new "phase-inversion" property to control phase inversion.
+ When enabled, this will slightly increase stereo quality, but
+ produces a stream that when downmixed to mono will suffer audio
+ distortions.
+
+- The x265enc HEVC encoder also exposes a "key-int-max" property to
+ configure the maximum allowed GOP size now.
+
+- decklinkvideosink has seen stability improvements for long-running
+ pipelines (potential crash due to overflow of leaked clock refcount)
+ and clock-slaving improvements when performing flushing seeks
+ (causing stalls in the output timeline), pausing and/or buffering.
+
+- srtpdec, srtpenc: add support for MKIs which allow multiple keys to
+ be used with a single SRTP stream
+
+- srtpdec, srtpenc: add support for AES-GCM and also add support for
+ it in gst-rtsp-server and rtspsrc.
+
+- The srt Secure Reliable Transport plugin has integrated server and
+ client elements srt{client,server}{src,sink} into one (srtsrc and
+ srtsink), since SRT connection mode can be changed by uri
+ parameters.
+
+- h264parse and h265parse will handle SEI recovery point messages and
+ mark recovery points as keyframes as well (in addition to IDR
+ frames)
+
+- webrtcbin: "add-turn-server" action signal to pass multiple ICE
+ relays (TURN servers).
+
+- The removesilence element has received various new features and
+ properties, such as a "threshold" property, detecting silence only
+ after minimum silence time/buffers, a "silent" property to control
+ bus message notifications as well as a "squash" property.
+
+- AOMedia AV1 decoder gained support for 10/12bit decoding whilst the
+ AV1 encoder supports more image formats and subsamplings now and
+ acquired support for rate control and profile related configuration.
+
+- The Fraunhofer fdkaac plugin can now be built against the 2.0.0
+ version API and has improved multichannel support
+
+- kmssink now supports unpadded 24-bit RGB and can configure mode
+ setting from video info, which enables display of multi-planar
+ formats such as I420 or NV12 with modesetting. It has also gained a
+ number of new properties: The "restore-crtc" property does what it
+ says on the tin and is enabled by default. "plane-properties" and
+ "connector-properties" can be used to pass custom properties to the
+ DRM.
+
+- waylandsink has a "fullscreen" property now and supports the
+ XDG-Shell protocol.
+
+- decklinkvideosink, decklinkvideosrc support selecting between
+ half/full duplex
+
+- The vulkan plugin gained support for macOS and iOS via MoltenVK in
+ addition to the existing support for X11 and Wayland
+
+- imagefreeze has a new num-buffers property to limit the number of
+ buffers that are produced and to send an EOS event afterwards
+
+- webrtcbin has a new, introspectable get-transceiver signal in
+ addition to the old get-transceivers signal that couldn’t be used
+ from bindings
+
+- Support for per-element latency information was added to the latency
+ tracer
+
+Plugin and library moves
+
+- The stereo element was moved from -bad into the existing audiofx
+ plugin in -good. If you get duplicate type registration warnings
+ when upgrading, check that you don’t have a stale stereoplugin lying
+ about somewhere.
+
+GstVideoAggregator, compositor, and OpenGL mixer elements moved from -bad to -base
+
+GstVideoAggregator is a new base class for raw video mixers and muxers
+and is based on GstAggregator. It provides defined-latency mixing of raw
+video inputs and ensures that the pipeline won’t stall even if one of
+the input streams stops producing data.
+
+As part of the move to stabilise the API there were some last-minute API
+changes and clean-ups, but those should mostly affect internal elements.
+Most notably, the "ignore-eos" pad property was renamed to
+"repeat-after-eos" and the conversion code was moved to a
+GstVideoAggregatorConvertPad subclass to avoid code duplication, make
+things less awkward for subclasses like the OpenGL-based video mixer,
+and make the API more consistent with the audio aggregator API.
+
+It is used by the compositor element, which is a replacement for
+‘videomixer’ which did not handle live inputs very well. compositor
+should behave much better in that respect and generally behave as one
+would expected in most scenarios.
+
+The compositor element has gained support for per-pad blending mode
+operators (SOURCE, OVER, ADD) which determines what operator to use for
+blending this pad over the previous ones. This can be used to implement
+crossfading and the available operators can be extended in the future as
+needed.
+
+A number of OpenGL-based video mixer elements (glvideomixer, glmixerbin,
+glvideomixerelement, glstereomix, glmosaic) which are built on top of
+GstVideoAggregator have also been moved from -bad to -base now. These
+elements have been merged into the existing OpenGL plugin, so if you get
+duplicate type registration warnings when upgrading, check that you
+don’t have a stale openglmixers plugin lying about somewhere.
+
+Plugin removals
+
+The following plugins have been removed from gst-plugins-bad:
+
+- The experimental daala plugin has been removed, since it’s not so
+ useful now that all effort is focused on AV1 instead, and it had to
+ be enabled explicitly with --enable-experimental anyway.
+
+- The spc plugin has been removed. It has been replaced by the gme
+ plugin.
+
+- The acmmp3dec and acmenc plugins for Windows have been removed. ACM
+ is an ancient legacy API and there was no point in keeping the
+ plugins around for a licensed MP3 decoder now that the MP3 patents
+ have expired and we have a decoder in -good. We also didn’t ship
+ these in our cerbero-built Windows packages, so it’s unlikely that
+ they’ll be missed.
+
+
+Miscellaneous API additions
+
+- GstBitwriter: new generic bit writer API to complement the existing
+ bit reader
+
+- gst_buffer_new_wrapped_bytes() creates a wrap buffer from a GBytes
+
+- gst_caps_set_features_simple() sets a caps feature on all the
+ structures of a GstCaps
+
+- New GST_QUERY_BITRATE query: This allows determining from downstream
+ what the expected bitrate of a stream may be which is useful in
+ queue2 for setting time based limits when upstream does not provide
+ timing information. tsdemux, qtdemux and matroskademux have basic
+ support for this query on their sink pads.
+
+- elements: there is a new “Hardware” class specifier. Elements
+ interacting with hardware devices should specify this classifier in
+ their element factory class metadata. This is useful to advertise as
+ one might need to put such elements into READY state to test if the
+ hardware is present in the system for example.
+
+- protection: Add a new definition for unspecified system protection,
+ GST_PROTECTION_UNSPECIFIED_SYSTEM_ID
+
+- take functions for various mini objects that didn’t have them yet:
+ gst_query_take(), gst_message_take(), gst_tag_list_take(),
+ gst_buffer_list_take(). Unlike the various _replace() functions
+ _take() does not increase the reference count but takes ownership of
+ the mini object passed.
+
+- clear functions for various mini object types and GstObject which
+ unrefs the object or mini object (if non-NULL) and sets the variable
+ pointed to to NULL: gst_clear_structure(), gst_clear_tag_list(),
+ gst_clear_query(), gst_clear_message(), gst_clear_event(),
+ gst_clear_caps(), gst_clear_buffer_list(), gst_clear_buffer(),
+ gst_clear_mini_object(), gst_clear_object()
+
+- miniobject: new API gst_mini_object_add_parent() and
+ gst_mini_object_remove_parent() to set parent pointers on mini
+ objects to ensure correct writability: Every container of
+ miniobjects now needs to store itself as parent in the child object,
+ and remove itself again later. A mini object is then only writable
+ if there is at most one parent, that parent is writable itself, and
+ the reference count of the mini object is 1. GstBuffer (for
+ memories), GstBufferList (for buffers), GstSample (for caps, buffer,
+ bufferlist), and GstVideoOverlayComposition were updated
+ accordingly. Without this it was possible to have e.g. a buffer list
+ with a refcount of 2 used in two places at once that both modify the
+ same buffer with refcount 1 at the same time wrongly thinking it is
+ writable even though it’s really not.
+
+- poll: add API to watch for POLLPRI and stop treating POLLPRI as a
+ read. This is useful to wait for video4linux events which are
+ signalled via POLLPRI.
+
+- sample: new API to update the contents of a GstSample and make it
+ writable: gst_sample_set_buffer(), gst_sample_set_caps(),
+ gst_sample_set_segment(), gst_sample_set_info(), plus
+ gst_sample_is_writable() and gst_sample_make_writable(). This makes
+ it possible to reuse a sample object and avoid unnecessary memory
+ allocations, for example in appsink.
+
+- ClockIDs now keep a weak reference to underlying clock to avoid
+ crashes in basesink in corner cases where a clock goes away while
+ the ClockID is still in use, plus some new API
+ (gst_clock_id_get_clock(), gst_clock_id_uses_clock()) to check the
+ clock a ClockID is linked to.
+
+- The GstCheck unit test library gained a
+ fail_unless_equals_clocktime() convenience macro as well as some new
+ GstHarness API for for proposing meta APIs from the allocation
+ query: gst_harness_add_propose_allocation_meta(). ASSERT_CRITICAL()
+ checks in unit tests are now skipped if GStreamer was compiled with
+ GST_DISABLE_GLIB_CHECKS.
+
+- gst_audio_buffer_truncate() convenience function to truncate a raw
+ audio buffer
+
+- GstDiscoverer has support for caching the results of discovery in
+ the default cache directory. This can be enabled with the use-cache
+ property and is disabled by default.
+
+- GstMeta that are attached to GstBuffers are now always stored in the
+ order in which they were added.
+
+- Additional support for signalling ONVIF specific features were
+ added: the SEEK event can store a trickmode-interval now and support
+ for the Rate-Control and Frames RTSP headers was added to the RTSP
+ library.

+
+Miscellaneous performance and memory optimisations
+
+As always there have been many performance and memory usage improvements
+across all components and modules. Some of them (such as dmabuf
+import/export) have already been mentioned elsewhere so won’t be
+repeated here.
+
+The following list is only a small snapshot of some of the more
+interesting optimisations that haven’t been mentioned in other contexts
+yet:
+
+- The GstVideoEncoder and GstVideoDecoder base classes now release the
+ STREAM_LOCK when pushing out buffers, which means (multi-threaded)
+ encoders and decoders can now receive and continue to process input
+ buffers whilst waiting for downstream elements in the pipeline to
+ process the buffer that was pushed out. This increases throughput
+ and reduces processing latency, also and especially for
+ hardware-accelerated encoder/decoder elements.
+
+- GstQueueArray has seen a few API additions
+ (gst_queue_array_peek_nth(), gst_queue_array_set_clear_func(),
+ gst_queue_array_clear()) so that it can be used in other places like
+ GstAdapter instead of a GList, which reduces allocations and
+ improves performance.
+
+- appsink now reuses the sample object in pull_sample() if possible
+
+- rtpsession only starts the RTCP thread when it’s actually needed now
+
+- udpsrc uses a buffer pool now and the GstUdpSrc object structure was
+ optimised for better cache performance
+
+GstPlayer
+
+- API was added to fine-tune the synchronisation offset between
+ subtitles and video
+
+
+Miscellaneous changes
+
+- As a result of moving to newer FFmpeg APIs, encoder and decoder
+ elements exposed by the GStreamer FFmpeg wrapper plugin (gst-libav)
+ may have seen possibly incompatible changes to property names and/or
+ types, and not all properties exposed might be functional. We are
+ still reviewing the new properties and aim to minimise breaking
+ changes at least for the most commonly-used properties, so please
+ report any issues you run into!
+
+OpenGL integration
+
+- The OpenGL mixer elements have been moved from -bad to
+ gst-plugins-base (see above)
+
+- The Mesa GBM backend now supports headless mode
+
+- gloverlaycompositor: New OpenGL-based compositor element that
+ flattens any overlays from GstVideoOverlayCompositionMetas into the
+ video stream.
+
+- glalpha: New element that adds an alpha channel to a video stream.
+ The values of the alpha channel can either be set to a constant or
+ can be dynamically calculated via chroma keying. It is similar to
+ the existing alpha element but based on OpenGL. Calculations are
+ done in floating point so results may not be identical to the output
+ of the existing alpha element.
+
+- glupload: Implement direct dmabuf uploader, the idea being that some
+ GPUs (like the Vivante series) can actually perform the YUV->RGB
+ conversion internally, so no custom conversion shaders are needed.
+ To make use of this feature, we need an additional uploader that can
+ import DMABUF FDs and also directly pass the pixel format, relying
+ on the GPU to do the conversion.
+
+- The OpenGL library no longer restores the OpenGL viewport. This is a
+ performance optimization to not require performing multiple
+ expensive glGet*() function calls per frame. This affects any
+ application or plugin use of the following functions and objects:
+ - glcolorconvert library object (not the element)
+ - glviewconvert library object (not the element)
+ - gst_gl_framebuffer_draw_to_texture()
+ - custom GstGLWindow implementations
+
+
+Tracing framework and debugging improvements
+
+- There is now a GDB PRETTY PRINTER FOR VARIOUS GSTREAMER TYPES: For
+ GstObject pointers the type and name is added, e.g.
+ 0x5555557e4110 [GstDecodeBin|decodebin0]. For GstMiniObject pointers
+ the object type is added, e.g. 0x7fffe001fc50 [GstBuffer]. For
+ GstClockTime and GstClockTimeDiff the time is also printed in human
+ readable form, e.g. 150116219955 [+0:02:30.116219955].
+
+- GDB EXTENSION WITH TWO CUSTOM GDB COMMANDS gst-dot AND gst-print:
+
+ - gst-dot creates dot files that a very close to what
+ GST_DEBUG_BIN_TO_DOT_FILE() produces, but object properties and
+ buffer contents such as codec-data in caps are not available.
+
+ - gst-print produces high-level information about a GStreamer
+ object. This is currently limited to pads for GstElements and
+ events for the pads. The output may look like this:
+
+- gst_structure_to_string() now serialises the actual value of
+ pointers when serialising GstStructures instead of claiming they’re
+ NULL. This makes debug logging in various places less confusing,
+ because it’s clear now that structure fields actually hold valid
+ objects. Such object pointer values will never be deserialised
+ however.
+
+
+Tools
+
+- gst-inspect-1.0 has coloured output now and will automatically use a
+ pager if the output does not fit on a page. This only works in a
+ UNIX environment and if the output is not piped, and on Windows 10
+ build 16257 or newer. If you don’t like the colours you can disable
+ them by setting the GST_INSPECT_NO_COLORS=1 environment variable or
+ passing the --no-color command line option.
+
+
+GStreamer RTSP server
+
+- Improved backlog handling when using TCP interleaved for data
+ transport. Before there was a fixed maximum size for backlog
+ messages, which was prone to deadlocks and made it difficult to
+ control memory usage with the watch backlog. The RTSP server now
+ limits queued TCP data messages to one per stream, moving queuing of
+ the data into the pipeline and leaving the RTSP connection
+ responsive to RTSP messages in both directions, preventing all those
+ problems.
+
+- Initial ULP Forward Error Correction support in rtspclientsink and
+ for RECORD mode in the server.
+
+- API to explicitly enable retransmission requests (RTX)
+
+- Lots of multicast-related fixes
+
+- rtsp-auth: Add support for parsing .htdigest files
+
+
+GStreamer VAAPI
+
+- Support Wayland’s display for context sharing, so the application
+ can pass its own wl_display in order to be used for the VAAPI
+ display creation.
+
+- A lot of work to support new Intel hardware using media-driver as VA
+ backend.
+
+- For non-x86 devices, VAAPI display can instantiate, through DRM,
+ with no PCI bus. This enables the usage of libva-v4l2-request
+ driver.
+
+- Added support for XDG-shell protocol as wl_shell replacement which
+ is currently deprecated. This change add as dependency
+ wayland-protocol.
+
+- GstVaapiFilter, GstVaapiWindow, and GstVaapiDecoder classes now
+ inherit from GstObject, gaining all the GStreamer’s instrumentation
+ support.
+
+- The metadata now specifies the plugin as Hardware class.
+
+- H264 decoder is more stable with problematic streams.
+
+- In H265 decoder added support for profiles main-422-10 (P010_10LE),
+ main-444 (AYUV) and main-444-10 (Y410)
+
+- JPEG decoder handles dynamic resolution changes.
+
+- More specification adherence in H264 and H265 encoders.
+
+
+GStreamer OMX
+
+- Add support of NV16 format to video encoders input.
+
+- Video decoders now handle the ALLOCATION query to tell upstream
+ about the number of buffers they require. Video encoders will also
+ use this query to adjust their number of allocated buffers
+ preventing starvation when using dynamic buffer mode.
+
+- The OMX_PERFORMANCE debug category has been renamed to OMX_API_TRACE
+ and can now be used to track a widder variety of interactions
+ between OMX and GStreamer.
+
+- Video encoders will now detect frame rate only changes and will
+ inform OMX about it rather than doing a full format reset.
+
+- Various Zynq UltraScale+ specific improvements:
+ - Video encoders are now able to import dmabuf from upstream.
+ - Support for HEVC range extension profiles and more AVC profiles.
+ - We can now request video encoders to generate an IDR using the
+ force key unit event.
+
+
+GStreamer Editing Services and NLE
+
+- Added a gesdemux element, it is an auto pluggable element that
+ allows decoding edit list like files supported by GES
+
+- Added gessrc which wraps a GESTimeline as a standard source element
+ (implementing the ges protocol handler)
+
+- Added basic support for videorate::rate property potentially
+ allowing changing playback speed
+
+- Layer priority is now fully automatic and they should be moved with
+ the new ges_timeline_move_layer method, ges_layer_set_priority is
+ now deprecated.
+
+- Added a ges_timeline_element_get_layer_priority so we can simply get
+ all information about GESTimelineElement position in the timeline
+
+- GESVideoSource now auto orientates the images if it is defined in a
+ meta (overridable).
+
+- Added some PyGObject overrides to make the API more pythonic
+
+- The threading model has been made more explicit with safe guard to
+ make sure not thread safe APIs are not used from the wrong threads.
+ It is also now possible to properly handle in what thread the API
+ should be used.
+
+- Optimized GESClip and GESTrackElement creation
+
+- Added a way to compile out the old, unused and deprecated
+ GESPitiviFormatter
+
+- Re implemented the timeline editing API making it faster and making
+ the code much more maintainable
+
+- Simplified usage of nlecomposition outside GES by removing quirks in
+ it API usage and removing the need to treat it specially from an
+ application perspective.
+
+- ges-launch-1.0:
+
+ - Added support to add titles to the timeline
+ - Enhance the help auto generating it from the code
+
+- Deprecate ges_timeline_load_from_uri as loading the timeline should
+ be done through a project now
+
+- MANY leaks have been plugged and the unit testsuite is now “leak
+ free”
+
+
+GStreamer validate
+
+- Added an action type to verify the checksum of the sink last-sample
+
+- Added an include keyword to validate scenarios
+
+- Added the notion of variable in scenarios, with the set-vars keyword
+
+- Started adding support for “performance” like tests by allowing to
+ define the number of dropped buffers or the minimum buffer frequency
+ on a specific pad
+
+- Added a validateflow plugin which allows defining the data flow to
+ be seen on a particular pad and verifying that following runs match
+ the expectations
+
+- Added support for appsrc based test definition so we can instrument
+ the data pushed into the pipeline from scenarios
+
+- Added a mockdecryptor allowing adding tests with on encrypted files,
+ the element will potentially be instrumented with a validate
+ scenario
+
+- gst-validate-launcher:
+
+ - Cleaned up output
+
+ - Changed the default for “muting” tests as user doesn’t expect
+ hundreds of windows to show up when running the testsuite
+
+ - Fixed the outputted xunit files to be compatible with GitLab
+
+ - Added support to run tests on media files in push mode (using
+ pushfile://)
+
+ - Added support for running inside gst-build
+
+ - Added support for running ssim tests on rendered files
+
+ - Added a way to simply define tests on pipelines through a simple
+ .json file
+
+ - Added a python app to easily run python testsuite reusing all
+ the launcher features
+
+ - Added flatpak knowledge so we can print backtrace even when
+ running from within flatpak
+
+ - Added a way to automatically generated “known issues”
+ suppressions lines
+
+ - Added a way to rerun tests to check if they are flaky and added
+ a way to tolerate tests known to be flaky
+
+ - Add a way to output html log files
+
+
+GStreamer Python Bindings
+
+- add binding for gst_pad_set_caps()
+
+- pygobject dependency requirement was bumped to >= 3.8
+
+- new audiotestsrc, audioplot, and mixer plugin examples, and a
+ dynamic pipeline example
+
+
+GStreamer C# Bindings
+
+- bindings for the GstWebRTC library
+
+
+GStreamer Rust Bindings
+
+The GStreamer Rust bindings are now officially part of the GStreamer
+project and are also maintained in the GStreamer GitLab.
+
+The releases will generally not be synchronized with the releases of
+other GStreamer parts due to dependencies on other projects.
+
+Also unlike the other GStreamer libraries, the bindings will not commit
+to full API stability but instead will follow the approach that is
+generally taken by Rust projects, e.g.:
+
+1) 0.12.X will be completely API compatible with all other 0.12.Y
+ versions.
+2) 0.12.X+1 will contain bugfixes and compatible new feature additions.
+3) 0.13.0 will _not_ be backwards compatible with 0.12.X but projects
+ will be able to stay at 0.12.X without any problems as long as they
+ don’t need newer features.
+
+The current stable release is 0.12.2 and the next release series will be
+0.13, probably around March 2019.
+
+At this point the bindings cover most of GStreamer core (except for most
+notably GstAllocator and GstMemory), and most parts of the app, audio,
+base, check, editing-services, gl, net. pbutils, player, rtsp,
+rtsp-server, sdp, video and webrtc libraries.
+
+Also included is support for creating subclasses of the following types
+and writing GStreamer plugins:
+
+- gst::Element
+- gst::Bin and gst::Pipeline
+- gst::URIHandler and gst::ChildProxy
+- gst::Pad, gst::GhostPad
+- gst_base::Aggregator and gst_base::AggregatorPad
+- gst_base::BaseSrc and gst_base::BaseSink
+- gst_base::BaseTransform
+
+Changes to 0.12.X since 0.12.0
+
+Fixed
+
+- PTP clock constructor actually creates a PTP instead of NTP clock
+
+Added
+
+- Bindings for GStreamer Editing Services
+- Bindings for GStreamer Check testing library
+- Bindings for the encoding profile API (encodebin)
+
+- VideoFrame, VideoInfo, AudioInfo, StructureRef implements Send and
+ Sync now
+- VideoFrame has a function to get the raw FFI pointer
+- From impls from the Error/Success enums to the combined enums like
+ FlowReturn
+- Bin-to-dot file functions were added to the Bin trait
+- gst_base::Adapter implements SendUnique now
+- More complete bindings for the gst_video::VideoOverlay interface,
+ especially
+ gst_video::is_video_overlay_prepare_window_handle_message()
+
+Changed
+
+- All references were updated from GitHub to freedesktop.org GitLab
+- Fix various links in the README.md
+- Link to the correct location for the documentation
+- Remove GitLab badge as that only works with gitlab.com currently
+
+Changes in git master for 0.13
+
+Fixed
+
+- gst::tag::Album is the album tag now instead of artist sortname
+
+Added
+
+- Subclassing infrastructure was moved directly into the bindings,
+ making the gst-plugin crate deprecated. This involves many API
+ changes but generally cleans up code and makes it more flexible.
+ Take a look at the gst-plugins-rs crate for various examples.
+
+- Bindings for CapsFeatures and Meta
+- Bindings for
+ ParentBufferMeta,VideoMetaandVideoOverlayCompositionMeta`
+- Bindings for VideoOverlayComposition and VideoOverlayRectangle
+- Bindings for VideoTimeCode
+
+- UniqueFlowCombiner and UniqueAdapter wrappers that make use of the
+ Rust compile-time mutability checks and expose more API in a safe
+ way, and as a side-effect implement Sync and Send now
+
+- More complete bindings for Allocation Query
+- pbutils functions for codec descriptions
+- TagList::iter() for iterating over all tags while getting a single
+ value per tag. The old ::iter_tag_list() function was renamed to
+ ::iter_generic() and still provides access to each value for a tag
+- Bus::iter() and Bus::iter_timed() iterators around the corresponding
+ ::pop\*() functions
+
+- serde serialization of Value can also handle Buffer now
+
+- Extensive comments to all examples with explanations
+- Transmuxing example showing how to use typefind, multiqueue and
+ dynamic pads
+- basic-tutorial-12 was ported and added
+
+Changed
+
+- Rust 1.31 is the minimum supported Rust version now
+- Update to latest gir code generator and glib bindings
+
+- Functions returning e.g. gst::FlowReturn or other “combined” enums
+ were changed to return split enums like
+ Result<gst::FlowSuccess, gst::FlowError> to allow usage of the
+ standard Rust error handling.
+
+- MiniObject subclasses are now newtype wrappers around the underlying
+ GstRc<FooRef> wrapper. This does not change the API in any breaking
+ way for the current usages, but allows MiniObjects to also be
+ implemented in other crates and makes sure rustdoc places the
+ documentation in the right places.
+
+- BinExt extension trait was renamed to GstBinExt to prevent conflicts
+ with gtk::Bin if both are imported
+
+- Buffer::from_slice() can’t possible return None
+
+- Various clippy warnings
+
+
+GStreamer Rust Plugins
+
+Like the GStreamer Rust bindings, the Rust plugins are now officially
+part of the GStreamer project and are also maintained in the GStreamer
+GitLab.
+
+In the 0.3.x versions this contained infrastructure for writing
+GStreamer plugins in Rust, and a set of plugins.
+
+In git master that infrastructure was moved to the GLib and GStreamer
+bindings directly, together with many other improvements that were made
+possible by this, so the gst-plugins-rs repository only contains
+GStreamer elements now.
+
+Elements included are:
+
+- Tutorials plugin: identity, rgb2gray and sinesrc with extensive
+ comments
+
+- rsaudioecho, a port of the audiofx element
+
+- rsfilesrc, rsfilesink
+
+- rsflvdemux, a FLV demuxer. Not feature-equivalent with flvdemux yet
+
+- threadshare plugin: ts-appsrc, ts-proxysrc/sink, ts-queue, ts-udpsrc
+ and ts-tcpclientsrc elements that use a fixed number of threads and
+ share them between instances. For more background about these
+ elements see Sebastian’s talk “When adding more threads adds more
+ problems - Thread-sharing between elements in GStreamer” at the
+ GStreamer Conference 2017.
+
+- rshttpsrc, a HTTP source around the hyper/reqwest Rust libraries.
+ Not feature-equivalent with souphttpsrc yet.
+
+- togglerecord, an element that allows to start/stop recording at any
+ time and keeps all audio/video streams in sync.
+
+- mccparse and mccenc, parsers and encoders for the MCC closed caption
+ file format.
+
+Changes to 0.3.X since 0.3.0
+
+- All references were updated from GitHub to freedesktop.org GitLab
+- Fix various links in the README.md
+- Link to the correct location for the documentation
+
+Changes in git master for 0.4
+
+- togglerecord: Switch to parking_lot crate for mutexes/condition
+ variables for lower overhead
+- Merge threadshare plugin here
+- New closedcaption plugin with mccparse and mccenc elements
+- New identity element for the tutorials plugin
+
+- Register plugins statically in tests instead of relying on the
+ plugin loader to find the shared library in a specific place
+
+- Update to the latest API changes in the GLib and GStreamer bindings
+- Update to the latest versions of all crates
+
+
+Build and Dependencies
+
+- The MESON BUILD SYSTEM BUILD IS NOW FEATURE-COMPLETE (*) and it is
+ now the recommended build system on all platforms and also used by
+ Cerbero to build GStreamer on all platforms. The Autotools build is
+ scheduled to be removed in the next cycle. Developers who currently
+ use gst-uninstalled should move to gst-build. The build option
+ naming has been cleaned up and made consistent and there are now
+ feature options to enable/disable plugins and various other features
+ on a case-by-case basis. (*) with the exception of plugin docs which
+ will be handled differently in future
+
+- Symbol export in libraries is now controlled via explicit exports
+ using symbol visibility or export defines where supported, to ensure
+ consistency across all platforms. This also allows libraries to have
+ exports that vary based on detected platform features and configure
+ options as is the case with the GStreamer OpenGL integration library
+ for example. A few symbols that had been exported by accident in
+ earlier versions may no longer be exported. These symbols will not
+ have had declarations in any public header files then though and
+ would not have been usable.
+
+- The GStreamer FFmpeg wrapper plugin (gst-libav) now depends on
+ FFmpeg 4.x and uses the new FFmpeg 4.x API and stopped relying on
+ ancient API that was removed with the FFmpeg 4.x release. This means
+ that it is no longer possible to build this module against an older
+ system-provided FFmpeg 3.x version. Use the internal FFmpeg 4.x copy
+ instead if you build using autotools, or use gst-libav 1.14.x
+ instead which targets the FFmpeg 3.x API and _should_ work fine in
+ combination with a newer GStreamer. It’s difficult for us to support
+ both old and new FFmpeg APIs at the same time, apologies for any
+ inconvenience caused.
+
+- Hardware-accelerated Nvidia video encoder/decoder plugins nvdec and
+ nvenc can be built against CUDA Toolkit versions 9 and 10.0 now. The
+ dynlink interface has been dropped since it’s deprecated in 10.0.
+
+- The (optional) OpenCV requirement has been bumped to >= 3.0.0 and
+ the plugin can also be built against OpenCV 4.x now.
+
+- New sctp plugin based on usrsctp (for WebRTC data channels)
+
+Cerbero
+
+Cerbero is a meta build system used to build GStreamer plus dependencies
+on platforms where dependencies are not readily available, such as
+Windows, Android, iOS and macOS.
+
+Cerbero has seen a number of improvements:
+
+- Cerbero has been ported to Python 3 and requires Python 3.5 or newer
+ now
+
+- Source tarballs are now protected by checksums in the recipes to
+ guard against download errors and malicious takeover of projects or
+ websites. In addition, downloads are only allowed via secure
+ transports now and plain HTTP, FTP and git:// transports are not
+ allowed anymore.
+
+- There is now a new fetch-bootstrap command which downloads sources
+ required for bootstrapping, with an optional --build-tools-only
+ argument to match the bootstrap --build-tools-only command.
+
+- The bootstrap, build, package and bundle-source commands gained a
+ new --offline switch that ensures that only sources from the cache
+ are used and never downloaded via the network. This is useful in
+ combination with the fetch and fetch-bootstrap commands that acquire
+ sources ahead of time before any build steps are executed. This
+ allows more control over the sources used and when sources are
+ updated, and is particularly useful for build environments that
+ don’t have network access.
+
+- bootstrap --assume-yes will automatically say ‘yes’ to any
+ interactive prompts during the bootstrap stage, such as those from
+ apt-get or yum.
+
+- bootstrap --system-only will only bootstrap the system without build
+ tools.
+
+- Manifest support: The build manifest can be used in continuous
+ integration (CI) systems to fixate the Git revision of certain
+ projects so that all builds of a pipeline are on the same reference.
+ This is used in GStreamer’s gitlab CI for example. It can also be
+ used in order to re-produce a specific build. To set a manifest, you
+ can set manifest = 'my_manifest.xml' in your configuration file, or
+ use the --manifest command line option. The command line option will
+ take precedence over anything specific in the configuration file.
+
+- The new build-deps command can be used to build only the
+ dependencies of a recipe, without the recipe itself.
+
+- new --list-variants command to list available variants
+
+- variants can now be set on the command line via the -v option as a
+ comma-separated list. This overrides any variants set in any
+ configuration files.
+
+- new qt5, intelmsdk and nvidia variants for enabling Qt5 and hardware
+ codec support. See the Enabling Optional Features with Variants
+ section in the Cerbero documentation for more details how to enable
+ and use these variants.
+
+- When building on Windows, Cerbero can now build GStreamer recipes
+ and core dependencies such as glib with Visual Studio. This is
+ controlled by the visualstudio variant. Visual Studio 2015, 2017,
+ and 2019 are supported. Currently, only 64-bit x86 is supported due
+ to a known bug which will be fixed for the next release.
+
+- A new -t / --timestamp command line switch makes commands print
+ timestamps
+
+
+Platform-specific changes and improvements
+
+Android
+
+- toolchain: update compiler to clang and NDKr18. NDK r18 removed the
+ armv5 target and only has Android platforms that target at least
+ armv7 so the armv5 target is not useful anymore.
+
+- The way that GIO modules are named has changed due to upstream GLib
+ natively adding support for loading static GIO modules. This means
+ that any GStreamer application using gnutls for SSL/TLS on the
+ Android or iOS platforms (or any other setup using static libraries)
+ will fail to link looking for the g_io_module_gnutls_load_static()
+ function. The new function name is now
+ g_io_gnutls_load(gpointer data). data can be NULL for a static
+ library. Look at this commit for the necessary change in the
+ examples.
+
+- various build issues on Android have been fixed.
+
+macOS and iOS
+
+- various build issues on iOS have been fixed.
+
+- the minimum required iOS version is now 9.0. The difference in
+ adoption between 8.0 and 9.0 is 0.1% and the bump to 9.0 fixes some
+ build issues.
+
+- The way that GIO modules are named has changed due to upstream GLib
+ natively adding support for loading static GIO modules. This means
+ that any GStreamer application using gnutls for SSL/TLS on the
+ Android or iOS platforms (or any other setup using static libraries)
+ will fail to link looking for the g_io_module_gnutls_load_static()
+ function. The new function name is now
+ g_io_gnutls_load(gpointer data). data can be NULL for a static
+ library. Look at this commit for the necessary change in the
+ examples.
+
+Windows
+
+- The webrtcdsp element is shipped again as part of the Windows binary
+ packages, the build system issue has been resolved.
+
+- ‘Inconsistent DLL linkage’ warnings when building with MSVC have
+ been fixed
+
+- Hardware-accelerated Nvidia video encoder/decoder plugins nvdec and
+ nvenc build on Windows now, also with MSVC and using Meson.
+
+- The ksvideosrc camera capture plugin supports 16-bit grayscale video
+ now
+
+- The wasapisrc audio capture element implements loopback recording
+ from another output device or sink
+
+- wasapisink recover from low buffer levels in shared mode and some
+ exclusive mode fixes
+
+- dshowsrc now implements the GstDeviceMonitor interface

+Stable 1.16 branch
+
+After the 1.16.0 release there will be several 1.16.x bug-fix releases
+which will contain bug fixes which have been deemed suitable for a
+stable branch, but no new features or intrusive changes will be added to
+a bug-fix release usually. The 1.16.x bug-fix releases will be made from
+the git 1.16 branch, which is a stable branch.

+
+
+Known Issues
+
+- possibly breaking/incompatible changes to properties of wrapped
+ FFmpeg decoders and encoders (see above).
+
+- The way that GIO modules are named has changed due to upstream GLib
+ natively adding support for loading static GIO modules. This means
+ that any GStreamer application using gnutls for SSL/TLS on the
+ Android or iOS platforms (or any other setup using static libraries)
+ will fail to link looking for the g_io_module_gnutls_load_static()
+ function. The new function name is now
+ g_io_gnutls_load(gpointer data). See Android/iOS sections above for
+ further details.
+
+
+Schedule for 1.18
+
+Our next major feature release will be 1.18, and 1.17 will be the
+unstable development version leading up to the stable 1.18 release. The
+development of 1.17/1.18 will happen in the git master branch.
+
+The plan for the 1.18 development cycle is yet to be confirmed, but it
+is now expected that feature freeze will take place in December 2019,
+with the first 1.18 stable release ready in late January or February.
+
+1.18 will be backwards-compatible to the stable 1.16, 1.14, 1.12, 1.10,
+1.8, 1.6, 1.4, 1.2 and 1.0 release series.
