As usual this release follows the latest gtk-rs 0.20 release and the corresponding API changes.
This release features relatively few changes and mostly contains the
addition of some convenience APIs, the addition of bindings for some minor
APIs, addition of bindings for new GStreamer 1.26 APIs, and various optimizations.
The new release also brings a lot of bugfixes, most of which were
already part of the bugfix releases of the previous release series.
Details can be found in the release notes for gstreamer-rs.
The code and documentation for the bindings is available on the freedesktop.org GitLab
The new 0.13 version of the GStreamer Rust plugins features many
improvements to the existing plugins as well as various new plugins. A
majority of the changes were already backported to the 0.12 release series
and its bugfix releases, which is part of the GStreamer 1.24 binaries.
A full list of available plugins can be seen in the repository's README.md.
Details for this release can be found in the release notes for gst-plugins-rs.
If you find any bugs, notice any missing features or other issues please
report them in GitLab for the bindings
or the plugins.

As part of the ongoing effort to provide better tooling and services for the GStreamer community at wide, there is now a
Matrix instance for GStreamer available at
https://matrix.to/#/#community:gstreamer.org . You can join using a
matrix client and a matrix account (the GStreamer instance does not provide account creation).
The decision comes after discussions that took place during the gstreamer conference/hackfest and discussions here :
https://discourse.gstreamer.org/t/a-replacement-for-irc/151 . But the summary is that Matrix provides a modern chat system with features people expect in this day and age, while not being a closed silo.
And more rooms will be made available on a as-needed basis
Note that a client with support for spaces and threads is recommended (but not mandatory).
In terms of the OFTC IRC channel, it will remain bridged to matrix (2/3 users in
#gstreamer on IRC are already accessing it via Matrix), but we recommend switching over to using the above matrix rooms since:
They provide the full matrix experience (history, threads, search, emojis, calls,…)
They offer more rooms than the (single) IRC room
Using the IRC bridge requires you to handle IRC commands if you wish to join/speak there (NickServ)
The IRC bridge isn’t maintained by the GStreamer community and we cannot guarantee it will always be around/up.

offering a modern and welcoming platform for support requests and
discussions.
Anybody is welcome to join and discuss, ask questions, reply, etc...
We look forward to seeing you all there.

Miscellaneous bug fixes, memory leak fixes, and other stability and reliability improvements
As usual this release follows the latest gtk-rs 0.17 release and the corresponding API changes.
This release features relatively few changes and mostly contains the
addition of some convenience APIs, the addition of bindings for some minor
APIs and various optimizations.
As part of the optimizations there will be a lot fewer temporary allocations
with the new version (especially for NUL-terminated strings), and improved
code generation which does not only improve performance but also reduces the
size of the resulting binaries considerably. Various GStreamer plugins saw
size reductions of 15-20%.
The new release also brings a lot of bugfixes, most of which were
already part of the 0.19.x bugfix releases.
Details can be found in the release notes for gstreamer-rs.
The code and documentation for the bindings is available on the freedesktop.org GitLab
The new 0.10 version of the GStreamer Rust plugins features many
improvements to the existing plugins as well as a few new plugins. A
majority of the changes were already backported to the 0.9 release series
and its bugfix releases, which is part of GStreamer 1.22.
A full list of available plugins can be seen in the repository's README.md.
Details for this release can be found in the release notes for gst-plugins-rs.
If you find any bugs, notice any missing features or other issues please
report them in GitLab for the bindings
or the plugins.

for the upcoming stable 1.22 release series.
This 1.21.90 pre-release is for testing and development purposes
in the lead-up to the stable 1.22 series which is now feature frozen
and scheduled for release very soon. Any newly-added API can still change
until that point, although it is extremely unlikely for that to happen at
this point.
Depending on how things go there might be more release candidates in
the next couple of days, but in any case we're aiming to get 1.22.0 out
as soon as possible.
Preliminary release notes highlighting all the new features, bugfixes,
performance optimizations and other important changes will be made

Git monorepo transition
Following the 1.19.2 release all git master branches in git are now
frozen and will stay frozen. as we embark on some infrastructure
plumbing that will see many of our git modules merged into a mono
repository, which should massively streamline and improve our developer
experience.
Expect a few days of disruptions, but we'll do our best to get the show
back on the road as quickly as possible!
We'll let you know when it's all done and will post more details and
migration instructions once everything's in place.
When we emerge on the other side there will be a shiny new main branch
in the GStreamer repository and development will continue there.
Nothing will happen to the existing stable branches and repositories,
and the existing master branches will also stay in place for the time
being, but will no longer be updated.
There will still be separate release tarballs for the various modules.
More details soon, stay tuned.

Autotools build system has been removed in favour of Meson
The GStreamer team is pleased to announce the first release candidate
for the upcoming stable 1.18 release series.
The unstable 1.17 release series adds new features on top of the current
stable 1.16 series and is part of the API and ABI-stable 1.x release series
of the GStreamer multimedia framework.
The 1.17.90 pre-release series is for testing and development purposes
in the lead-up to the stable 1.18 series which is now feature frozen
and scheduled for release soon. Any newly-added API can still change
until that point, although it is very rare for that to happen at this point.
Depending on how things go there might be another release candidate
next week and then hopefully 1.18.0 shortly after.
Full release notes will be provided in the near future, highlighting all the
new features, bugfixes, performance optimizations and other important changes.
The autotools build has been dropped entirely for this release, so it's
finally all Meson from here on.
This pre-release is for all developers, distributors and early
adaptors and anyone who still needs to update their build/packaging
setup for Meson.
On the documentation front we have switched away from gtk-doc to
hotdoc, but we now provide a release tarball of the built documentation
in html and devhelp format, and we recommend distributors switch to
that and provide a single gstreamer documentation package in future.
Packagers will not need to use hotdoc themselves.
Instead of a gst-validate tarball we now ship a gst-devtools tarball, and
the gstreamer-editing-services tarball has been renamed to gst-editing-services
for consistency with the module name in Gitlab.
Packagers: please note that plugins may have moved between modules, so please
take extra care and make sure inter-module version dependencies are such that
users can only upgrade all modules in one go, instead of seeing a mix of 1.17
and 1.16 on their system.
Binaries for Android, iOS, Mac OS X and Windows are also available at the
usual location.
As always, please let us know of any issues you run into by filing an
issue in Gitlab.
GStreamer Rust bindings 0.16.0 release
A new version of the GStreamer Rust bindings, 0.16.0, was released.
As usual this release follows the latest gtk-rs
release.
This is the first version that includes optional support for new GStreamer
1.18 APIs. As GStreamer 1.18 was not released yet, these new APIs might
still change. The minimum supported version of the bindings is still
GStreamer 1.8 and the targetted GStreamer API version can be selected by
applications via feature flags.
Apart from this, new version features mostly features API cleanup and the
addition of a
few missing APIs. The focus of this release was to make usage of GStreamer
from Rust as convenient and complete as possible.
The new release also brings a lot of bugfixes, most of which were
already part of the 0.15.x bugfix releases.
If you find any bugs, notice any missing features or other issues please
report them in
GitLab.
GStreamer 1.17.2 unstable development release

of the GStreamer multimedia framework.
The unstable 1.17 release series is for testing and development purposes in
the lead-up to the stable 1.18 series which is scheduled for release in a

Revamped documentation and gstreamer.com switch-off
The GStreamer project is pleased to announce its new revamped
documentation featuring a new design,
a new navigation bar, search functionality, source code syntax highlighting
as well as new tutorials and documentation about how to use GStreamer on
Android, iOS, macOS and Windows.
It now contains the former gstreamer.com SDK tutorials which have kindly been
made available by Fluendo & Collabora under a Creative Commons license. The
tutorials have been reviewed and updated for GStreamer 1.x. The old
gstreamer.com site will be shut down with redirects pointing to the updated
tutorials and the official GStreamer website.
Thanks to everyone who helped make this happen.
This is just the beginning. Our goal is to provide a more cohesive
documentation experience for our users going forward. To that end, we have
converted most of our documentation into markdown format. This should hopefully
make it easier for developers and contributors to create new documentation, and
to maintain the existing one. There is a lot more work to do, do get in touch
if you want to help out. The documentation is maintained in the new
gst-docs module.
If you encounter any problems or spot any omissions or outdated content in the
new documentation, please
file a bug in bugzilla to let us know.

The GStreamer-VAAPI module which provides support for hardware-accelerated
video decoding, encoding and post-processing on Intel (and other) graphics hardware
on Linux has moved from its previous home at the Intel Open Source Technology Center (01.org)
to the upstream GStreamer repositories, where it will in future be maintained
as part of the upstream GStreamer project and released in lockstep with the
other GStreamer modules.
The current maintainers will continue to spearhead the development at the new location:
GStreamer-VAAPI relies heavily on certain GStreamer infrastructure API that
is still in flux such as the OpenGL integration API or the codec parser
libraries, and one of the goals of the move was to be able to leverage
new developments early and provide tighter integration with the latest
developments of those APIs and other graphics-related APIs provided by
GStreamer, which should hopefully improve performance even further and in
some cases might also provide better stability.
Thanks to everyone involved in making this move happen!
New Versioning scheme and Supported GStreamer Versions
The version numbering has been changed to match the GStreamer version
numbering to avoid confusion: there is a new gstreamer-vaapi 1.6.0 release
and a 1.6 branch that is roughly equivalent to the previous 0.7.0 version.
Future releases 1.7.x and 1.8.x will be made alongside GStreamer releases.
Whilst it was possible and supported by previous releases to build against
a whole range of different GStreamer versions (such as 1.2, 1.4, 1.6 or 1.7/1.8),
in future there will only be one target branch, so that git master will
track GStreamer git master, 1.8.x will target GStreamer 1.8, and
1.6.x is targetting the 1.6 series.
Miscellaneous Changes
All GStreamer-VAAPI functionality is now provided solely by its GStreamer
elements. There is no more public library exposing GstVaapi API, this API
was only ever meant for private use by the elements. Parts of it may be
resurrected again in future if needed, but for now it has all been made
private.
GStreamer-VAAPI now unconditionally uses the codecparser library in
gst-plugins-bad instead of shipping its own internal copy. Similarly,
it no longer ships its own codec parsers but relies on the upstream
codec parser elements.
The GStreamer-VAAPI encoder elements have been renamed from vaapiencode_foo
to vaapifooenc, so encoders are now called vaapih264enc, vaapih265enc,
vaapimpeg2enc, vaapijpegenc, and vaapivp8enc.
Bug Tracking
Bugs had already been tracked on GNOME bugzilla
but will be moved from the gstreamer-vaapi product into a new gstreamer-vaapi
component of the GStreamer product in bugzilla. Please file new bugs against
the new component in the GStreamer product from now on.
Pending Patches
The code base has been re-indented to the GStreamer code style, which
affected some files more than others. This means that some of the patches
in bugzilla might not apply any longer, so if you have any unmerged patches
sitting in bugzilla please consider checking if they still apply cleany and
refresh them if not. Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.

the stable 1.4 release series of gst-editing-services, gst-python and gnonlin.
The 1.4 release series is adding new features
on top of the 1.0 and 1.2 series and is part of the API and ABI-stable 1.x
release series of the GStreamer multimedia framework.
This release candidate will hopefully shortly be followed by the stable 1.4.0
release if no bigger regressions or bigger issues are detected, and enough
testing of the release candidate happened. The new API that was added during
the 1.3 release series is not expected to change anymore at this point.
The stable 1.4 release series is API and ABI compatible with 1.0.x, 1.2.x and
any other 1.x release series in the future. Compared to 1.2.x it contains some
new features and more intrusive changes that were considered too risky as a
bugfix.
GStreamer Core, Plugins and RTSP server 1.4.1 stable release
The GStreamer team is pleased to announce a bugfix release of the stable
1.4 release series. The 1.4 release series is adding new features on top
of the 1.2 series and is part of the API and ABI-stable 1.x release
series of the GStreamer multimedia framework that contains new features.
The 1.4.x bugfix releases only contain important bugfixes compared to 1.4.0.
Binaries for Android, iOS, Mac OS X and Windows are provided by the
GStreamer project for this release.
The 1.x series is a stable series targeted at end users. 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.
The stable 1.4.x release series is API and ABI compatible with 1.0.x and
any other 1.x release series in the future. Compared to 1.0.x it contains
some new features and more intrusive changes that were considered too
risky as a bugfix.

GStreamer Conference 2013: Registration now open, Call for Papers
About the GStreamer Conference
The GStreamer Conference 2013 will take place from 22-23 October 2013 in
Edinburgh (UK), and will be co-hosted with the Embedded Linux Conference Europe
and the Automotive Linux Summit.
It is a conference for developers, decision-makers, and anyone else interested
in the GStreamer multimedia framework and open source multimedia.
Registration now open
You can now register for the GStreamer Conference 2013 on the
conference website.
Call for Papers
The initial submission needs to be only a couple of paragraphs describing the
talk you want to give and the desired length of your talk (please allow for
5-10 minutes of questions at the end as well).
Talks can be on almost anything multimedia related, ranging from talks about
applications to challenges in the lower levels in the stack or hardware.
streamsynchronizer is now a public element, useful in HLS pipelines for example
osxaudio plugin ported to 1.0
androidmedia plugin is ported to 1.0
internal libav snapshot in gst-libav has been updated to libav 0.8.6
Now uses frame based threading if possible and disables slice
based threading until libav 0.9.x is used (as is the case in git master
already) This provides potentially better performance and fixes some
display corruptions caused by bugs in the slice based threading
The GStreamer team is pleased to announce the first GStreamer OpenMAX IL wrapper plugin
release for the new API and ABI-stable 1.x series of the GStreamer multimedia
framework.

GStreamer Core and Plugins 1.0.6 bug-fix release
The GStreamer team is pleased to announce a new bug-fix release for the
new API and ABI-stable 1.x series of the GStreamer multimedia
framework.
Since this has never been announced officially outside of the conference
circuit, the GStreamer team would like to
clarify
that GStreamer 0.10 is no longer maintained. Not by us, nor by anyone else.
There will be no more GStreamer 0.10 releases, not even bug-fix releases.
Bugs will not be investigated unless they also apply to GStreamer 1.x.
Patches will only be reviewed and pushed if they apply to one of the
current 1.x branches or fix an issue that still pertains to 1.x.
Bug fixes have not been backported systematically to 0.10 for a very long
time now, and there are many hundreds of bugs that have only been fixed
in 1.x, and manymore are fixed every week. Any commits to the 0.10 branch
are made purely on an ad-hoc basis now, and we may lock down the branch
completely. No more features will be added to 0.10. However, GStreamer 0.10
support is of course still available on a commercial basis from the usual
suspects.
We realise and regret that this may cause some inconvenience, and we
also understand that there are circumstances where there are valid
reasons not to migrate to 1.0 at this time, or in some cases ever, but
we would also like to dispel any doubt whatsoever that there is any
other way. We have neither the resources, nor the will or the energy to
maintain more than one major version. We must use the little resources
we have on code that has a future.
We are happy to provide help and advice to anyone migrating to 1.0. If
there are plugins that haven't been ported yet that you need, let us
know, maybe we can help get them ported.
Thanks for your understanding.
Happy hacking, see you on the other side!

GStreamer Core and Plugins 1.0.5 bug-fix release
The GStreamer team is pleased to announce a new bug-fix release for the
new API and ABI-stable 1.x series of the GStreamer multimedia
framework.
rtspsrc: fix regression that make rtspsrc hang when stopping
alsasrc: don't output buffers without timestamps or with bogus timestamps
add GST_CLOCK_TYPE_OTHER clock type
discoverer, decodebin: fix state change re-sync race that might lead to deadlocks
add GST_BIN_FLAG_NO_RESYNC flag that disables a resync when
an element is added, removed or linked in the bin; this is
interesting for complex bins that dynamically add elements
to themselves and want to manage the state of those elements
without interference from state resync threads (which may
cause deadlocks)
video: fix crashes with and frame sizes of A420 video format
fix VP6-alpha video playback
jpegenc: pass flow returns upstream
audio/video parsers: fix negotiation with encoders in some transcoding cases
qtdemux: fix pixel-aspect-ratio of some files with ProRes video
cairo: port cairooverlay to 1.0
psdemux: tentative port to 1.0; take into account both DTS and PTS
shm: Actually get the permissions on get_property
waylandsink: do not default to fullscreen mode
build: fix build with new automake 1.13
build: pass CC, LD, AS, AR and NM to the libav configure if set
Thanks to our partners at Ubicast the recordings of this year's GStreamer Conference talks are now available online. You can view or download the talks here.
GStreamer Core and Plugins 1.0.3 bug-fix release
The GStreamer team announces a new bug-fix release for the
new API and ABI-stable 1.x series of the GStreamer multimedia
framework.
The GStreamer project is pleased to announce the very first release of
the new API and ABI-stable 1.x series of the GStreamer multimedia
framework.
The 1.x series is a stable series targeted at end users. 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
An overview of the architectural changes can be found in
Wim Tayman's GStreamer 1.0 keynote
from the GStreamer Conference 2012 in San Diego (click on the 'Share' tab for other video formats).
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 the
ReleasePlanning/RoadMap page on the wiki
for a tentative road map and possible schedule.
Please also note that we may still need to fine-tune some minor aspects
of plugin behaviour in the next development cycle (e.g. bufferpool
draining on renegotiation), so keep an eye out for that when porting
elements over.
Packages should be available shortly in debian sid, fedora 18, ubuntu
quantal, and other distros.

GStreamer is a project which aims to fullfill an important part of the
infrastructure for free and open source operating systems. As a result of this
we need to make sure everything we do is licensed in a way that enables us to
fullfill this role well. To help ensure this we have, after a lot of discussion
and gathering of external feedback, put together this
licensing advisory. It explains both how plugins for GStreamer will have to
be licensed for us to approve them for inclusion and suggestions for how free
software developers should license their software to solve the practical
problems facing us today. We strongly advise everyone to read this. The content
of this advisory is also included in our FAQ.

Jorn Baayen has just submitted a set of patches which ports GNOME 2.0 over to using GStreamer. These patches will hopefully go into CVS not long after 2.0 is released and be included in the next release after 2.0. You can see Jorn's
announcement
here.
GStreamer ports effecTV plug-ins
EffecTV is a cool project which allows you to add real-time effects to a video stream captured from a v4l-device. Combining this with GStreamer allows you to use any effecTV plugin in any pipeline. This can easily let you do really nice things. Here's an example.
Starting from Alien Song, we first run the pipeline
Finally, we add the effects; we create an aged version of the edgy version. This is where GStreamer really shines; in effectv you have to use loopback v4l devices.
We hope to work with the effecTV authors to provide a convenient library which will allow easy access to these great effects.
The effecTV plug-ins : soon coming to a gst-enabled video editor near you !
sample created movies lack sound and encoding has been ctrl-c'd at random moments because I'm lazy. Colorspace is necessary because the effecTV plugins work in the RGB colorspace and MPEG video works in the YUV colorspace. The effecTV have just been added to CVS code and will be in the next stable GStreamer release.
Here's screenshots of three different effects applied on the alien-song movie:

GStreamer 0.3.3 Released
The 0.3.3 release of GStreamer is now available codename 'GUADEC By Foot'.
GStreamer 0.3.2 Available
The GStreamer team is proud to announce GStreamer 0.3.2 'Do-B-day'.
Update Since most developers were using glib-2.0 during QA for the last
release, the gtk+-1.2 part got a bit overlooked. If you can't fix the compile
errors yourself, either build against glib-2.0 or go back to 0.3.1. Onward!
Debian Packages for 0.3.1 Now Available
Thanks to the work of David Lehn, we now have Debian packages available for the
recent 0.3.1 release.

gstreamer-devel. Subscribe to the list if you wish to continue getting
these nightly emails, or make use of the list archives otherwise.
Tonight in Den Haag, NL, there will be a talk on GStreamer given by
Erik Walthinsen (Omega). More about it on the LUG website

GStreamer 0.0.9 released!
As of 9:10pm PST Oct 31, 1999, GStreamer has officially become a public
project. I've released 0.0.9, in it's current somewhat sorry state, to
get it out to anyone who wants to look around. A 0.1.0 release is planned
in the near future (a couple weeks away, maybe) with a lot more of the
plugins actually working, but for now it's still pretty cool.
