Ubuntu users will also be able to test these pre-releases by using the
GStreamer PPA (as soon as they get uploaded there).

Please test them thoroughly with all your favourite apps, and let us
know of any regressions or other important issues by filing blocker bugs
in bugzilla: http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/bugs/

Further pre-releases will follow as needed. If all goes well, releases
should happen around the end of the month, as per
http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/wiki/ReleasePlanning2011

A list of possible blocker bugs can be found at: http://bit.ly/h3MzgU

Two issues might be worth pointing out:

1. GstBus has been rewritten to take fewer locks. If you experience any
problems with GstBus message delivery, esp. on OSX and Windows, please
let us know immediately (esp. if you have an easy way to reproduce it).

2. The recently-released Orc 0.4.12 contains a bug in the SSE backend
which might make unit tests fail on some machines. This has been fixed
in orc git [1]. Hopefully there'll be a 0.4.13 release before the final
release of these GStreamer packages. In the mean time users should use
either Orc 0.4.11 or Orc 0.4.12 with the mentioned patch.

Happy testing!

 Cheers
  -Tim
