GStreamer "Private Dancer" 0.5.0 released
The GStreamer team is happy to announce another release of the
GStreamer streaming-media framework. This release has mainly focused
on code clean-up and rounding out of the features. Large chunks of
GStreamer are API stable at this point.
This is a development release, in which we test several new features
and change installs and break stuff ! Do not update unless you are a
developer or willing to deal with issues that will crop up. You have
been warned ;)
From now on, GStreamer will follow a versioning scheme similar to
kernel and GTK+/GLib releases. Odd minor numbers (like for this
release) will be development releases. While GStreamer itself is very
much under development, during stable releases we will guarantee API-
and ABI-stability. The point of this development release cycle is to
support Gnome 2.1.x development.
GStreamer major-minor series versions will now be
parallel-installable. Please update your applications to check for
gstreamer-0.5, gstreamer-libs-0.5 and gstreamer-play-0.5 using
pkg-config.
Our development currently focuses on the following items:
* Increase stability and portability of scheduler
* Add more video editing specific plugins
* Improve plugins currently used by existing applications
* Create language bindings
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 [1]applications status page.

GStreamer Homepage
More details on these features can be found on the project's website,
[2]http://gstreamer.net/.
Support and Bugs
We use [3]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 [4]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.
