+++ b/RELEASE
- 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.
-
-Updates and Enhancements
-
- General
-
- * Further work on the Graphical Pipeline Editor, getting to be very
- stable and well working.
- * KDE/Qt bindings created for easier creation of KDE applications on
- top of GStreamer
- * General C++ bindings for use with gtkmm and other C++ projects
- added to gst-bind module (in CVS)
- * Effectv and virtualdub based plug-ins relicensed under LGPL
- (previously GPL)
- * Some manual examples updated and extracted to code (in
- examples/manual)
-
- Core
-
- * Many memleaks plugged
- * Lots of code cleaning
- * Many documentation improvements
- * Small change to [2]Plugin API
- * Removed use of -Wall and -Werror from release tarball for non-gcc
- compilers, more permanent solution upcoming.
- * Old schedulers renamed: we now use basicomega as the default
- scheduler, with the others being fastomega, basicwingo and
- fastwingo.
-
- Plug-ins
-
- * BSD and Darwin cd playing
- * New Mixermatrix plugin added
- * New Flash plugin added
- * RTP plugin moved back to librtp and plugin now includes library
- code (still experimental, check configure --help on how to enable)
- * New v4l2 plugins
- * Updated v4l plugins
- * Improvements to dvdnav plugin
- * iRadio support added to gnomevfs plugin
- * Median video plugin updated and now working
- * Fixed many major bugs in the gnome-vfs library
- * Got rid of misleading warnings from plugins
- * Avi muxer much improved
- * Fix bug in mad plugin that caused loss of frames
- * mp3 typefind fixed to properly handle id3v2 tags
-
-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.
+Release notes for GStreamer 0.10.35 "Nuclear Fission"
+
+
+
+The GStreamer team is proud to announce a new release
+in the 0.10.x stable series of the
+core of the GStreamer streaming media framework.
+
+
+The 0.10.x series is a stable series targeted at end users.
+It is not API or ABI compatible with the stable 0.8.x series.
+It is, however, parallel installable with the 0.8.x series.
+
+
+The 0.10.x series has been reworked for threadsafety. It also features
+various 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 plug-ins
+gst-plugins-good
+contains a set of well-supported plug-ins under our preferred license
+gst-plugins-ugly
+contains a set of well-supported plug-ins, but might pose problems for
+ distributors
+gst-plugins-bad
+contains a set of less supported plug-ins that haven't passed the
+ rigorous quality testing we expect
+
+
+
+
+
+Features of this release
+
+ * work around GLib atomic ops API change
+ * some minor win32/mingw fixes
+ * don't use G_CONST_RETURN in public headers
+
+Bugs fixed in this release
+
+ * 652211 : Use const instead G_CONST_RETURN

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.
+GStreamer is stored in Git, hosted at git.freedesktop.org, and can be cloned 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.
