GStreamer "Wild Rover" 0.6.2 released
The GStreamer team is proud to announce an updated version in the
ABI-stable 0.6.x series.
At this point in time GStreamer is fully functional for creating
audio-based applications, as shown by applications such as
gnome-sound-recorder, [1]net-rhythmbox, [2]sound-juicer and
nautilus-media.
The video part is known to be somewhat less functional than the audio
part, but applications such as [3]gst-player works very well, and a
port of [4]Totem is in progress in GNOME CVS.
We will also be releasing a development 0.7 release series, in which
we will work on such things as the remaining issues, such as the
interactivity support which is needed for DVD menus and SWF (Flash).
This means developers working on apps needing these services can use
the 0.7 series for development and then enable 0.6 support as these
additions optionally get backported to 0.6 once they are stable and
work well.
The GStreamer applications we ship all check for both gstreamer-0.6,
gstreamer-libs-0.6 and gstreamer-play-0.6; if those aren't found the
0.7 version of those files are checked for. We suggest anyone making
GStreamer-based apps do the same.
We are starting to have a really nice collection of applications under
development using GStreamer. If you are looking for something specific
check out our [5]applications status page.

* Over 130 plugins
* All parts interchangeable

Support and Bugs
We use [43]Gnome's Bugzilla for bug reports and feature requests. The
"product name" is GStreamer (capital G). Please do the following
before writing a bug report :
gst-feedback &> feedback 2>&1
and attach the file "feedback" to your bug report, so that we have
some information useful in the debugging process.
Developers
GStreamer is [44]hosted on SourceForge. 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.
We are still looking for people with access to FreeBSD, Solaris,
HP-UX, Irix and True64 that would be willing to try building and
testing GStreamer. Patches fixing such problems are also more than
welcome.
