| 2 | GStreamer: Release notes for GStreamer Plugins 0.8.7 "Hyperspace" |
|---|
| 3 | |
|---|
| 4 | |
|---|
| 5 | The GStreamer team is happy to announce a new release |
|---|
| 6 | in the 0.8.x stable series of the GStreamer Plugins. |
|---|
| 7 | |
|---|
| 8 | |
|---|
| 9 | The 0.8.x series is a stable series aimed at end users. |
|---|
| 10 | It is not API or ABI compatible with the stable 0.6.x series. |
|---|
| 11 | It is, however, parallel installable with the 0.6.x series. |
|---|
| 12 | |
|---|
| 13 | |
|---|
| 14 | This module contains plugins providing media encoding and decoding, |
|---|
| 15 | conversion, effects, and other elements that provide actual media |
|---|
| 16 | handling functionality to the core. You need the GStreamer core module |
|---|
| 17 | to make them work. The versions do not need to match exactly, as long |
|---|
| 18 | as all of them are in the 0.8.x series. |
|---|
| 19 | |
|---|
| 20 | |
|---|
| 21 | The FFmpeg-based decoder element has been moved to its own module. If you |
|---|
| 22 | want support for a lot of popular video formats, you need to install this |
|---|
| 23 | module along with the GStreamer Core and Plugins. An FFmpeg-based colorspace |
|---|
| 24 | element has been added to the Plugins however. |
|---|
