GStreamer now contains close to - 100 plugins for reading, writing and manipulating audio and video. We - are rapidly approaching a stable set of libraries. Our sample - applications are, however, still under development. - - We now have a gst-all module prepared that includes all of our source - modules in one easy-to-compile package. - -Future Plans - - Our goal for the next release is stabilizing and improving the current - feature set of GStreamer further, including introducing an improved - autoplugger module for even better handling of media formats. We will - also focus more attention at our media player sample application as - this is the application most users and developers probably will use to - get aquinted with the framework. + Preliminary release notes - For help building GStreamer, take a look at our build help document. + The GStreamer team is happy to announce another release of the + GStreamer streaming-media framework. This is our first release using + GLib 2.0 and libxml2 as the sole compile platform. We have also + started including all our documentation in our RPMS starting this + release. People wanting to build GStreamer themselves with + documentation should look at the DOCBUILDING file for some information + on what packages are needed to build that successfully. + + Another new feature of this release is the gst-launch-ext command-line + application. It uses predefined pipelines to play back media files + based on their file extension. This means that you don't need to + construct your own pipelines using gst-launch if all you want to do is + play a file. Just type gst-launch-ext [filename] and the audiofile or + movie plays for you. This of course also being a work in progress + means that sometimes it might decide on the wrong pipeline, or cause + jitter, as well as random headaches. + + For help building GStreamer, take a look at our [1]build help document + .
