Release notes for GStreamer 0.10.30 "Safety First"
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
Features of this release
* GLib requirement was bumped to 2.20, automake requirement to 1.10
* bin: unlock gst_element_get_state() on error, instead of hanging forever if no timeout is given
* clock: fix refcounting bug in gst_clock_set_master
* caps: make sure _normalize() is applied on all structures
* info: add new TRACE log level and move refcounting there from LOG level
* pad: don't check twice for changed caps per push
* pad: fix iterator aggregation of all pads in the internal links fallback
* tagsetter: protect tagsetter operations with a lock
* value: support short fourccs (esp. serialisation/deserialisation)
* adapter: fix _try_to_merge_up(); optimize progressive masked scans
* basesink: implement percentage position and duration queries
* basesink: fix segment query return value
* basetransform: add accept_caps vmethod
* basetransform: re-evaluate proxy_alloc when reconfigured
* basetransform: assume in_size equals out_size if there's no transform_size/get_unit_size vfunc
* fdsink, filesink: make sync property work correctly
* typefind: make sure buffers' metadata is writable before setting caps on them
* queue2: fix merging of ranges
* queue2: don't wait for data when EOS
* queue2: don't ignore failure to open the temporary file location
* tools: make gst-launch print things correctly to stderr/stdout and make --quiet work correctly
* introspection: add many more gobject-introspection annotations
* xml: serialisation/deserialisation to/from XML has been deprecated, since it's always been broken
for all but the most trivial pipelines, and will likely never be fixed
