| 2 | GStreamer: Release notes for GStreamer 0.8.5 "Stuttgart" |
|---|
| 3 | |
|---|
| 4 | |
|---|
| 5 | The GStreamer team is happy to announce a new release |
|---|
| 6 | in the 0.8.x stable series of the GStreamer streaming-media framework. |
|---|
| 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 is the first GStreamer release that compiles with MSVC7 with full |
|---|
| 15 | debug support. Installation of the binaries and the locales are also handled. |
|---|
| 16 | |
|---|
| 17 | |
|---|
| 18 | This module only contains core functionality. For actual media playback, |
|---|
| 19 | you will need other modules. GStreamer Plugins contains a huge set of |
|---|
| 20 | additional plugins. GStreamer FFmpeg contains a plugin based on the popular |
|---|
| 21 | FFmpeg decoding library. These modules need not have the same source version |
|---|
| 22 | as the core, as long as they are in the 0.8.x series. |
|---|
| 23 | |
|---|
