GStreamer "Desperately Seeking Sexiness" 0.4.0 released
The GStreamer team is happy to announce another release of the
GStreamer streaming-media framework. We are quickly moving forward at
this time and more and more applications using GStreamer are popping
up. Please see the [1]release page for availability of source and
binary packages.
Updates and Enhancements
General
* Graphical pipeline editor (gst-editor) ported to GNOME 2.0
* Autobuild system using [2]bitches to generate good RPMs
* Apt for rpm repository for GStreamer and plug-in dependencies on
RedHat 7.2 and 7.3, for both Ximian Red-Carpet Gnome 2 and
Gnomehide. See [3]http://gstreamer.net/releases/redhat/
* Red-Carpet GStreamer channel under construction.
* GConf schemas distributed for centralised sink settings
* Moved to [4]http://bugzilla.gnome.org/ for bug reports. Bugzilla
is more convenient than SourceForge's system, and Gnome already
has a system running. Thanks to Gnome for the support.
* Created a gst-feedback script to gather system information to be
added to a bug report for better debugging.
Core
* New much improved registry system implemented.
* New event-driven seek support. Event system is now working and
implemented
* Header files are now in a versioned directory to ease build pains.
* Improvements and bugfixes todparams.
* Docs updated, registry and system clock documentation added
* More tests added for improved troubleshooting
* Cothreads code made more POSIX-compatible
* PowerPC portability fixes
Plug-ins
* Quicktime plug-in rewritten
* [5]Effectv video effects plug-ins included
* Audio effect plug-ins fixes (int2float, floatcast etc.)
* A new filter plug-in for audio filters
* OSS plug-in fixes
* Audiofile plug-in works again (depends on upstream patch getting
included)
* lavencode plug-in renamed yuv4mpeg
* Synaesthesia plug-in added to gst-visualisation packages
* [6]Jack plug-in working and packaged -- CVS Jack required
* Floatcast plug-in added
* Include file setup fixes
* Avi plug-in ported to avifile 0.7.7
* Lots of fixes and cleanups on the DV plug-in
* libfame plug-in added (mpeg4)
* libdvdnav plug-in added
* Better URI handling in gnome-vfs plug-in
* RTP plug-in updated and ported to the [7]oRTP library
Known Issues
GStreamer currently ships with two schedulers, named 'basic' and
'standard'. Basic is the one we have been shipping for a long time now
and is still the default in GStreamer 0.4.0. There are however some
limitations and threadrelated bugs in basic. These limitations are not
present in standard, but unfortunately standard does not work with
i686 glibc atm due to differences in the way threads are handled
compared to other architectures including i386. We hope to get the
remaining issues in standard fixed before 0.4.1 and use that as
default.
As for the bugs in basic we did not feel they warranted not releasing
0.4.0 as they are rather obscure. For instance if you are using
Rhythmbox you will need to be playing over 500 songs nonstop to
trigger it.
If you want to test the standard scheduler, run your GStreamer
application with --gst-scheduler=standard
GStreamer Homepage
More details on these features can be found on the project's website,
[8]http://gstreamer.net/.
Support
We use [9]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 [10]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 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.
