This mail announces the release of GStreamer Good Plug-ins 0.10.29 "Soft Cheese Enthusiast".
GStreamer Good Plug-ins is a set of plug-ins that we consider to have
good quality code and correct functionality, under our preferred license
(LGPL for the plug-in code, LGPL or LGPL-compatible for the supporting
library).
Highlights of this release:
- amrparse, aacparse, ac3parse, flacparse, mpegaudioparse, dcaparse audio parsers (moved from -bad)
- muxers now mux based on running time
- ISO MP4 muxers: mp4mux/3gppmux/qtmux/mj2mux (moved from -bad)
- new matroskaparse element
- new v4l2radio element
- rtpsession: support RTCP Early Feedback (the AVPF profile)
- orc 0.4.14 or newer recommended
- many other fixes and improvements

Release notes for GStreamer Good Plug-ins 0.10.29 "Soft Cheese Enthusiast"
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.
"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
