GStreamer 0.7.3

GStreamer “Mobil Avenue” 0.7.3 released

The GStreamer team is happy to announce our third release in the
0.7.x development series of the GStreamer streaming-media
framework. The goal of this release series is to stabilize it
towards a 0.8 release series which will be part of the GNOME 2.6
releases and hopefully eventually KDE 4.x.

The 0.7 series is a development series and is aimed at
developers. It is NOT API or ABI compatible with the stable 0.6.x
series or with other releases in the series. This means you can not
use this release to upgrade your current GStreamer installation and
expect your GStreamer applications to keep working. It is parallel
installable with the 0.6.x series however.

This development series contains a lot of improvements compared
to the 0.6.x series and is a much better foundation for building
advanced video handling applications. Below we list most of the
major changes and additions. Most are included in this release, but
not all are complete yet as they will be in time for the 0.8.0
release. New/improved features in 0.7.3 release

  • Added libcaca plugin for Ascii-Art colour output.
  • Fix bug hindering seeking from working
  • Fix RGB colorspace transformation bug
  • Solaris build fixes
  • Lots of work in the CAPS branch, will be merged right after
    this release
  • gdkpixbuf loader no longer built by default, also fixed it in
    regards to packaging
  • And as usual a ton of bugfixes

and http://www.gstreamer.net/releases/0.7.3/

Applications

As mentioned there are some changes in API/ABI between the 0.6.x
and 0.7.x releases. Many applications will probably be source
compatible between 0.6.x. and 0.7.x however. Rhythmbox and Sound
Juicer for instance works very well when compiled on 0.7.x.
Gst-player do not work accross releases however, so we will make a
separate release of gst-player with the needed fixes for it to work
with 0.7.x. This release contains the core fixes we where waiting
for to port the player over so expect a Gst-player release in the
near future.

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).

Developers

GStreamer is hosted on SourceForge. As of this release we have
moved GStreamer CVS to freedesktop. 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.
