- GStreamer "Moo" 0.6.4 released
+GStreamer: Release notes for GStreamer Plugins 0.6.5 "FLUSH"
+
- The GStreamer team is proud to announce a new version in the
- ABI-stable 0.6.x series.
+The GStreamer team is proud to announce a new release in the
+ABI-stable 0.6.x series.
- At this point in time GStreamer is fully functional for creating
- audio-based applications, as shown by applications such as
- gnome-sound-recorder, [1]rhythmbox, [2]sound-juicer and
- nautilus-media.
- The video part is known to be somewhat less functional than the audio
- part, but applications such as [3]gst-player work very well.
+This release is a service release, fixing some small outstanding issues
+and versioning the binaries so that parallel
+installability of the 0.6.x with future series is fixed.
- We will also be releasing a development 0.7 release series, in which
- we will work on 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.
+
+Features of this release
+
+ * Provides versioned binaries
+ * Provides versioned GConf installation
+ * compile fixes for mpeg2dec 0.4.0
+ * compile fixes for ALSA 1.0.x
+ * fixes for uninstalled pkg-config files
- 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.
+Known issues
+
+ * You need to manually migrate your GConf settings from /system/gstreamer to /system/gstreamer/0.6
- 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 [4]applications status page.
