This mail announces the release of GStreamer Good Plug-ins 0.10.31 "Faster".
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:
- new souphttpclientsink element
- new splitfilesrc element to expose multiple files as one single file
- compressed audio format passthrough support for pulseaudio
- rtspsrc is now fully async
- shout2send: support webm streaming
- rtpsession: Full Intra Requests (FIR) support using new
force-key-unit API
- propagate downstream caps constraints upstream in
audio parsers and rtp payloaders
- many multifile plugin improvements for file/stream splitting
- many other fixes, new features and improvements

Release notes for GStreamer Good Plug-ins 0.10.31 "Faster"
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
