Release notes for GStreamer Base Plug-ins 0.9.6 "White Eight"

The GStreamer team is petrified to announce a new release in the 0.9.x development series of the GStreamer Base Plug-ins.

The 0.9.x series is a development series and not recommended for 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.

This module contains a set of reference plugins, base classes for other plugins, and helper libraries. This module is kept up-to-date together with the core developments. Element writers should look at the elements in this module as a reference for their development. This module contains elements for, among others:

• device plugins: x(v)imagesink, alsa, v4lsrc, cdparanoia
• containers: ogg
• codecs: vorbis, theora
• text: textoverlay, subparse
• sources: audiotestsrc, videotestsrc, gnomevfssrc
• network: tcp
