Release notes for GStreamer 1.6.4
|
||
|
||
|
||
The GStreamer team is pleased to announce a new bug-fix release in the
|
||
old 1.6 stable series of the core of the GStreamer streaming media framework.
|
||
|
||
|
||
This release only contains bugfixes and it should be safe to update from 1.6.x.
|
||
For a full list of bugfixes see Bugzilla.
|
||
|
||
|
||
This release maintains API/ABI backwards compatibility with the
|
||
GStreamer 1.0, 1.2, 1.4 and 1.6 release series.
|
||
|
||
|
||
The 1.x series has been reworked for more flexible memory handling, improved
|
||
caps negotiation and re-negotiation, better handling of dynamic pipelines,
|
||
and increased performance in general. It also features countless other feature
|
||
additions and enhancements.
|
||
|
||
|
||
This module, gstreamer, only contains core functionality.
|
||
For actual media playback, you will need other modules.
|
||
|
||
gst-plugins-base
|
||
contains a basic set of well-supported plugins
|
||
gst-plugins-good
|
||
contains a set of well-supported plugins under our preferred license
|
||
gst-plugins-ugly
|
||
contains a set of well-supported plugins, but might pose problems for
|
||
distributors
|
||
gst-plugins-bad
|
||
contains a set of less supported plugins that haven't passed the
|
||
rigorous quality testing we expect, or are still missing documentation
|
||
and/or unit tests
|
||
gst-libav
|
||
contains a set of codecs plugins based on libav (formerly gst-ffmpeg)
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
