GStreamer "Starfleet" 0.5.1 released
Send a message out accross the sky,
Alien raiders just passed Gemini,
Who will come and save us now?
Who can defend us from their power?
GStreamer! GStreamer! GStreamer!
Tell the people back at Earth Control,
Send GStreamer legions to save our souls,
always daring and couragous,
ooh! only they can save us.
GStreamer! GStreamer! GStreamer!
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.
Updates and Enhancements
General
* More Solaris Forte fixes
* Updates to documentation
Core
* New non-cothread based scheduler

* Improvements including PAL support for RAW1394 plugin
* lots of misc smaller fixes
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.
