GStreamer 0.6.1
GStreamer "Proven to be true" 0.6.1 released The GStreamer team is proud to announce an updated version in the ABI-stable 0.6.x series, which features many bugfixes and some feature improvements over the previous 0.6.0 release. At this point in time GStreamer is fully functional for creating audio-based applications, as shown by applications such as gnome-sound-recorder, net-rhythmbox, sound-juicer and nautilus-media. The video part is known to be somewhat less functional than the audio part, but applications such as gst-player works very well, and a port of 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 growing applications status page: http://gstreamer.net/status/?category=2 Features * Pipeline based media architecture * Over 130 plugins * All parts interchangeable * Few dependencies, only glib, popt and libxml for core (libxml optional) * Python Language bindings * Good documentation * Widely deployed through bundling with GNOME 2.2 * Design catering also for applications needing low-latency * Highly portable, already running on most mainstream CPU's * Modular design and use of 3rd party best of breed libraries means no bloat * LGPL licensing lays no restrictions on application developers licensing. * Easy for applications to ship their own plugins to the core as needed * Compiles with both GCC and Forte compilers * Tested to run on Linux, FreeBSD and Solaris Updates with regard to 0.6.0 * Makefile corrections for bison/flex generated files (#101421) * Better handling of unknown popt arguments (don't g_error()!)

Also known as "Voodoo only Wim understands" (#110976) GStreamer Homepage More details on these features can be found on the project's website, http://gstreamer.net/. Support and Bugs We use 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 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.
