This is a CVS version of gst-plugins
|
||||||
GStreamer "GEPpiness is a warm gun" 0.4.1 released [1]
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
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. In preparation of a stable
|
|
||||||
release, we have also done a thorough license audit to make sure that
|
|
||||||
the licenses of all plug-ins are properly documented, and that as many
|
|
||||||
of them as possible are available under the LGPL license that
|
|
||||||
GStreamer uses.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
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.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||

Known Issues
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
GStreamer currently ships with schedulers based on two cothread
|
|
||||||
packages. The 'omega' cothread package is the one we have been
|
|
||||||
shipping for a long time now and is still the default in this release.
|
|
||||||
There are however some limitations and thread-related bugs in the
|
|
||||||
omega scheduler. These limitations are not present in the 'wingo'
|
|
||||||
schedulers, but unfortunately it does not work with i686 glibc at this
|
|
||||||
time due to differences in the way threads are handled compared to
|
|
||||||
other architectures, including i386. A new (third) scheduler (that
|
|
||||||
doesn't use cothreads) is being developed.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
As for the bugs in the 'omega' schedulers, we did not feel they
|
|
||||||
warranted not releasing 0.4.1 as they are rather obscure. For instance
|
|
||||||
if you are using Rhythmbox you will need to be playing over 500 songs
|
|
||||||
nonstop to trigger it. You can choose a different scheduler by passing
|
|
||||||
--scheduler=(name) to any GStreamer application.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Wim Taymans has started work on a new scheduler. The first part is
|
|
||||||
already in CVS, but it will probably still be some months before it is
|
|
||||||
ready.

More details on these features can be found on the project's website,

|
||||||
Support and Bugs
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
We use [4]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 [5]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.

[1] It is a little-known fact that the Beatles decided their track
|
|
||||||
listing for their albums based on a process called the 'GEP' process.
|
|
||||||
After some initial problems, this worked very well. The only known
|
|
||||||
failure of this process happened when George Harrison commited the
|
|
||||||
out-of-place 'Within You Without You' to Sergeant Pepper without
|
|
||||||
review by the other band members. This near split-up led to one of
|
|
||||||
their finest songs on the world-reknowned White Album.
