This mail announces the release of:
 - GStreamer 0.10.28 "Same Old, Same Old",
 - GStreamer Base Plug-ins 0.10.28 "Those Norwegians", and
 - GStreamer Good Plug-ins 0.10.21 "Lemons".

These releases fix a small number of regressions that were discovered
with yesterday's releases (most notably: Ogg/Dirac playback and h263 RTP
depayloading/videoconferencing).

In the interest of brevity, I will skip the usual description and
instead point you to the following web pages for more information:

Release notes for GStreamer 0.10.28 "Same old, same old"
        


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
    
      * No material changes compared to 0.10.27, this release is mostly to
        keep the version in sync with gst-plugins-base
      * Parse "1/MAX" fraction strings

There were no bugs fixed in this release

Developers

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.

Release notes for GStreamer Good Plug-ins 0.10.21 "Lemons"
        


The GStreamer team is proud to announce a new release
in the 0.10.x stable series of the
GStreamer Good Plug-ins.


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.



"Such ingratitude.  After all the times I've saved your life."


A collection of plug-ins you'd want to have right next to you on the
battlefield.  Shooting sharp and making no mistakes, these plug-ins have it
all: good looks, good code, and good licensing.  Documented and dressed up
in tests.  If you're looking for a role model to base your own plug-in on,
here it is.


If you find a plot hole or a badly lip-synced line of code in them,
let us know - it is a matter of honour for us to ensure Blondie doesn't look
like he's been walking 100 miles through the desert without water.


This module contains a set of plug-ins that we consider to have good quality
  code, correct functionality, our preferred license (LGPL for the plug-in
  code, LGPL or LGPL-compatible for the supporting library).
We believe distributors can safely ship these plug-ins.
People writing elements should base their code on these elements.


Other modules containing plug-ins are:


gst-plugins-base
contains a basic set of well-supported plug-ins
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 (and 0.10.20)
    
      * Fixes for RTP h263 depayloader timestamping regressions that broke video calls
      * Fixes for FLAC decoder when FLAC is embedded in a container such as Ogg or Matroska
      * rtpsource: bitrate estimation improvements
      * rtspsrc, udp: multicast fixes
      * identical to 0.10.20 but with one commit that broke make check reverted

Bugs fixed in this release (and 0.10.20)
     
      * 532117 : [matroskamux] Doesn't update the track duration
      * 610959 : [flacdec] certain flac-in-ogg file only plays after long delay
