GStreamer 0.10 released

GST 0.10 has finally been released:

News - GStreamer 0.10.0 stable release
    2005-12-05 18:59

The GStreamer team is proud to announce the first release of the new GStreamer stable release series. 7 modules have been released: GStreamer, GStreamer Base Plug-ins, GStreamer Good Plug-ins, GStreamer Ugly Plug-ins, GStreamer Bad Plug-ins, GStreamer FFmpeg Plug-ins, and GStreamer Python Bindings.

This release comes close to 18 months after the 0.8.0 release. It's been a fun ride and we thank you all. Hop on board for the next leg.

Check out release notes for gstreamer, gst-plugins-base, gst-plugins-good, gst-plugins-ugly, gst-plugins-bad, gst-ffmpeg, gst-python, or download tarballs for gstreamer, gst-plugins-base, gst-plugins-good, gst-plugins-ugly, gst-plugins-bad, gst-ffmpeg, gst-python

Hope this fixes most of the bugs and crap.

(Just one question: is it massively incompatible with apps that use GST 0.8.x?)

Re: GStreamer 0.10 released

Yes it is. And as long as no app uses it yet, we won't upgrade yet
I'm very busy with X.org now, if I get time for GStreamer I will make some 0.10 packages that are parallel installable with 0.8.

Re: GStreamer 0.10 released

Agh, why did they go changing the interface like that? They fix all the bugs, and then they make everyone port their GST software again!

Re: GStreamer 0.10 released

They switched to a complete new design. You can't fix bugs if your design is bugged. GStreamer 0.8 sucks compared to what 0.10 will give us if everything is allright.

Re: GStreamer 0.10 released

the bmpx people were waiting for the 0.10 release of gstreamer, so they can dump the xine backend. i hope the packages for gstreamer won't take toooooo long

Re: GStreamer 0.10 released

Since my home box with X.org 7.0-in-progress stuff on it was dead today (broken capacitor, damn I hate those Asrock boards), I hacked around with gstreamer 0.10. Both X.org 7.0 and GStreamer 0.10 will hit testing at the same time, since I'm compiling GStreamer packages against standalone Xorg libraries instead of the complete x-server package.

Re: GStreamer 0.10 released

Kick ass! I can't wait until the big move.

(I think I'll switch to the ArchCK kernel though. Making a new initrd every time I upgrade the kernel... I dunno, reminds me a bit too much of my days with Slackware, where I had to remember to update LILO or I'd get a nice kernel panic message.)

Any word on the gst 0.10 packages?

Re: GStreamer 0.10 released

I'm guessing that the developers of GST-based apps are still in the process of porting to the new version. GST 0.10 is, after all, completely incompatible with 0.8.

Re: GStreamer 0.10 released

I made some packages, don't know where I put them (I guess they're somewhere in one of my chroots on one of my boxes, I'll look for them tomorrow).
I couldn't play videofiles with it, as somehow the gst-launch-ext command won't launch threads grouped with { }. This is weird, or gst-launch-ext uses the wrong syntax

Until applications are ported to GStreamer 0.10 there's not much use for it anyways. The packages I made are parallel installable with 0.8, but putting it in the repositories "just to have it" makes no sense.

Totem 1.3 supports them...

Re: GStreamer 0.10 released

1.3 is odd numbered, means experimental... Would go in unstable.

I'm wanting to test them with amarok 1.4 svn too

Re: GStreamer 0.10 released

any news here?
bmpx dropped the xine backend, so gst 0.10 is the only way to use bmpx svn, but there are no packages in arch for gst 0.10

Re: GStreamer 0.10 released

Just out of curiosity, is this going to happen any time soon?

Re: GStreamer 0.10 released

I will start with gnome 2.14 beta packages soon, they will have gstreamer 0.10 dependencies. This means that GStreamer 0.10 should enter extra within one week. Putting it in testing is not needed, as it's not an upgrade but a parallel install of GStreamer.
