[gst-devel] [ANN] gst-openmax 0.10.1 stable release

[Felipe Contreras]

Hi,

It has been a long time but finally it's here; the first stable
release of gst-openmax. Most likely it has been stable for quite some
time, but only now the code-style has migrated to GStreamer one, and a
bunch of patches from TI have been merged, so it seems like a good
time to release.

Also, this version now features a configuration mechanism, so you can
select pretty much every combination of GStreamer elements you might
need, and specify the OpenMAX IL library, component name, role, and
even your desired rank.

gst-openmax has been tested in multiple OpenMAX IL implementations,
such as Bellagio, and Texas Instrument's OMAP. Depending on the
implementation some changes might be needed, but ideally it should
work straight out-of-the-box. If you find that some changes are
needed, please contribute the changes back.

Elements supported

 * MPEG-4 encoder/decoder
 * H.263 encoder/decoder
 * H.264 encoder/decoder
 * WMV decoder
 * Vorbis decoder
 * MP3 decoder
 * Volume filter

Experimental elements (should work but not extensively tested)

 * AMR-NB encoder/decoder
 * AMR-WB encoder/decoder
 * AAC encoder/decoder
 * MP2 decoder
 * ADPCM encoder/decoder
 * G.711 encoder/decoder
 * G.729 encoder/decoder
 * iLBC encoder/decoder
 * JPEG encoder
 * video renderer
 * file reader

Compared to previous pre-releases, this version now features a configuration
mechanism, so you can select pretty much every combination of GStreamer
elements you might need, and specify the OpenMAX IL library, component name,
role, and even your desired rank.
