The + goal of this release series is to stabilize towards a 0.8 release + series which will be part of the GNOME 2.6 releases and hopefully + eventually KDE 4.x. + + The 0.7 series is a development series and is aimed at developers. It + is NOT API or ABI compatible with the stable 0.6.x series or with + other releases in the series. This means you can not use this release + to upgrade your current GStreamer installation and expect your + GStreamer applications to keep working without a recompile. It is, + however, parallel installable with the 0.6.x series. + +Features of this release + + * Compatible with gstreamer 0.7.4 + * Reworked pad negotiation + * Internationalized plugin elements + * Reworked error notification with translated error messages and + additional debug information for developer feedback + * Updated Dutch and French translations + * Reworked clocking + * Audio sinks synchronize to timestamps + * Added marshal and enum headers for libraries + * New Ogg demuxer + * New Theora decoder + * New trm (musicbrainz) element + * New switch element + * New rfb (remote framebuffer) element + * Updated quicktime demuxer + * Updated SVQ3 decoding + * Updated playback library + * Updated flushing from gnomevfs source + * Updated X and Xv image sinks + * Updated audio conversion elements + * Updated flac tag handling + * Updated dvdnav element + * Updated mplex element + * Lots of bugfixes + +Known issues + + * MPEG video playback needs to be updated, it doesn't work reliably + +Download + + You find source releases of gst-plugins in the [14]gst-plugins + download directory. + +GStreamer Homepage + + More details can be found on the project's website, + [15]http://www.freedesktop.org/~gstreamer. + +Support and Bugs + + We use Gnome's bugzilla for [16]bug reports and feature requests. + +Developers + + CVS is hosted on cvs.freedesktop.org. You can [17]browse the + gst-plugins repository. All code is in CVS and can be checked out from + there. Interested developers of the core library, plug-ins, and + applications should subscribe to the gstreamer-devel list. If there is + sufficient interest we will create more lists as necessary. + +Applications + + As mentioned there are some changes in API/ABI between the 0.6.x and + 0.7.x releases. Many applications will probably be source compatible + between 0.6.x. and 0.7.x however. [18]Rhythmbox and [19]Sound Juicer + for instance work very well when compiled on 0.7.x. GStreamer Player + does not work across releases however, so we will make a separate + release of gst-player with the needed fixes for it to work with 0.7.x. + This release contains the core fixes we were waiting for to port the + player over so expect a gst-player release in the near future. + +Contributors to this release + + * Amaury Jacquot + * Arwed v.
