-GStreamer 0.3.2 "Do-B-day" released
-Release Notes
+ GStreamer "GUADEC By Foot" 0.3.3 released
- The GStreamer team is happy to announce another release of the
- GStreamer streaming-media framework. 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
+ .
