[gst-devel] Flumotion 0.2.0 "San Telmo" released

[Thomas Vander Stichele]

Hi everyone,

With a month delay, and after lots of hard work, a new stable series of
Flumotion has kicked off.  This series uses GStreamer 0.10 as the
preferred backend.

Packages for it have hit the GStreamer 0.10 repository.  Release notes
are attached.

Any feedback is of course welcome.  Happy hacking !

Release notes for Flumotion?0.2.0 "San Telmo"
        

The Flumotion team is happy to announce a new release of the
Flumotion Streaming Server.

Flumotion is a streaming server for GNU/Linux
systems featuring an easy to use configuration and administration GUI. 
Implemented using GStreamer as the processing backend and using python and
Twisted for the high-level operations and GUI, it combines a wide feature set
with ease of use.

  
Features of this release
    
      * Fully works with GStreamer 0.10

      * a looper element that can create a live stream out of an Ogg/Theora+Vorbis
  file (GStreamer 0.10 only)

      * Component protocol cleanups, making it a lot easier to write new components.
  Also fixes a set of bugs where a component ran into an error and can't be
  restarted.

      * synchronization between capturing components (if they can directly contact
  each other over UDP).  Should properly synchronize webcams and soundcards.

      * Flumotion now supports add-on projects, that can be discovered even when
  uninstalled, using the FLU_PROJECT_PATH environment variable.

      * Added flumotion-command, a simple admin client that can execute certain
  commands on components.  Useful for getting statistics, rotating log files,
  ...

      * Show what worker a component is supposed to start on.

      * Components can now send fully translatable messages as part of their state.
  The translations happens in the admin client, in the admin's locale.
  These messages are now visible in the admin and tell you more about why
  a component is sad.

      * 307 : [webcam] 'Could not negotiate format' error in gstbasesrc
      * 308 : if worker is specified in XML, admin should show it even when not
        logged in (maybe in gray)
      * 310 : when you have a misconfiguration (wrong propety name), the manager
        starts up, then exits
      * 314 : [wizard] Forward button gets unresponsive on 'leaf' pages

      * 320 : Help->about is wrong

        to an int
