Release notes for GStreamer 0.10.13 "With or without you" 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 * Latency handling infrastructure for live playback scenarios * State change handling changes * GstController property handling improved * Various bug fixes and improvements * Parallel installability with 0.8.x series * Threadsafe design and API Bugs fixed in this release * 440682 : gst/gstsystemclock unit test occasionally fails * 342564 : Configure options causing compilation to fail * 378255 : Swedish translation updated * 392804 : [API] add GST_CORE_ERROR_DISABLED * 412648 : [filesink] reports wrong (byte) position after seeking * 413123 : No XML dependency patch * 415394 : [identity] post message for imperfect streams if check-pe... * 417992 : Quickly playing/pausing messes up synchronization * 420106 : [basetransform] race on shutdown: setcaps func called aft... * 420206 : Collectpads causes a segv. when stopping after a pad remove * 421480 : Make it possible to build without libxml2 with --disable-... * 421543 : [GstPad] Doesn't check if pad accepts caps after caps change * 422295 : GstController crashes with quadratic and cubic interpolat... * 425400 : Multiqueue leaks memory when releasing sink pads * 431150 : compilation fails with flex 2.5.4 * 431940 : [API] add gst_buffer_try_new_and_alloc() * 432876 : current time level in queue * 434926 : Multilib conflicts with gst-launch-0.10 man page * 435880 : [GstBin] Property to allow bins to handle child async cha... * 437563 : URIs with upper-case protocol don't play * 440463 : gstbin unit test sometimes hangs waiting for ASYNC_DONE m... * 441159 : Regression in state change handling * 349180 : gst_parse_launch is not reentrant (or recursively callable) * 414986 : Don't start the async thread for the system clock until n... * 393099 : GstBuffer copy vfunc broken? * 419851 : pad-added and pad-removed signals parameter type incorrect * 420133 : gst_element_sync_state_with_parent should look at pending... * 421177 : Possible deadlock if pad eventfunc is not specified API changes in this release - API additions: * gst_element_change_state() * GST_STATE_TARGET * GST_BASE_TRANSFORM_LOCK/UNLOCK * GstClock::gst_clock_unadjust_unlocked() * fakesink::num-buffers property * GST_CORE_ERROR_DISABLED * basesrc::prepare_seek_segment vmethod * gst_buffer_try_new_and_alloc() * gst_buffer_copy_metadata() * GstBufferCopyFlags enum * GST_BUFFER_COPY_ALL flag * gst_uri_protocol_is_supported() * gst_base_src_query_latency() * GstQueue::pushing * gst_controller_suggest_next_sync() * gst_object_suggest_next_sync() * basesrc::unlock_stop * basesink::unlock_stop * GstBin::async-handling property * gst_message_new_async_start() * gst_message_parse_async_start() * gst_message_new_async_done() * GST_MESSAGE_ASYNC_START * GST_MESSAGE_ASYNC_DONE ==== Download ==== You can find source releases of gstreamer in the download directory: https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/src/gstreamer/ The git repository and details how to clone it can be found at http://cgit.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/ ==== Homepage ==== The project's website is https://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 Please submit patches via bugzilla as well.
