AW: RELEASE: GStreamer VA-API Plugins 0.6.0

[Bernhard Graaf]

Hi Sreerenj,

Thank you very much!

I've used the tarball-version and got two errors during make:
../gst-libs/gst/vaapi/.libs/libgstvaapi-1.4.so: undefined reference to
`vaReleaseBufferHandle'
../gst-libs/gst/vaapi/.libs/libgstvaapi-1.4.so: undefined reference to
`vaAcquireBufferHandle'

So it's impossible to use.
The ./configure runs without any issue.

I'm using gstreamer 1.4.3 on Ubuntu 14.04

Thanks for helping
Bernhard

Betreff: RELEASE: GStreamer VA-API Plugins 0.6.0

The gstreamer-vaapi team is pleased to announce the availability
of the 0.6.0 release.

gstreamer-vaapi is a collection of GStreamer plugins and helper
libraries that allow hardware accelerated video decoding, video
encoding and video processing through VA-API. Complete support depends
on the underlying hardware. However, video decoding from JPEG, MPEG-2,
MPEG-4:2, H.264 AVC, H.264 MVC, VC-1, VP8 and HEVC is supported; and video
encoding in MPEG-2, H.264 AVC, H.264 MVC, JPEG, VP8 and HEVC format is
supported.
Backends are available for X11, GLX, EGL, Wayland and raw DRM for headless
pipelines.

== Changes ==

* Major changes:
  -Add HEVC(H265) Decoder
  -Add HEVC(H265) Encoder
  -Add VP8 Encoder
  -Add JPEG Encoder
  -Add a vaapidecodebin(vaapidecode->queue->vaapipostproc) element
  -Add support for EGL
  -Add Skin-Tone-Enhancement feature in vaapipostproc
  -Add support for H.264 Multiview High profile encoding with more than 2
views.

* Other Changes of interest:
  -Add support for loss of pictures in h264 decoder.
  -Add support for GstVideoGLTextureOrientation in plugins
  -Add support for BGRA textures in plugins
  -Add a simple-encoder test program that uses libgstvaapi for video
encoding to elementary streams
  -Add finer wayland frame control and many other optimizations
  -Add packed SEI header message support in h264 encoder for CBR mode
  -Add scaling of quality factor and Quantization tables for JPEG encoder
  -Add GstColorBalance interface in vaapipostproc
  -Add a handoff signal to vaapisink
  -Add rounding control handling for VC1 simple and Main profile
  -Record glconext supplied by downstream to enable run-time
compatibility check.
  -Switch back to single thread implementation in vaapidecode
  -Set decoding latency in vaapidecode by assuming realtime
performance for the HW decoding
  -Allow vaapidecode to connect with glimagesink, mark x11 display as
compatible with EGL
  -Allow decoding of VC1 streams which contain user BDUs
  -Use git.mk, a small Makefile to autogenerate .gitignore files
  -Expose the overlay capability in vaapisink for compatibility with
dvbsuboverlay
  -Expose deinterlace property to vaapidecodebin
  -Enable VPP element in vaapidecodebin only if there is HW support.
  -Fix autoplugging of vaapidecode in playbin for wmv/asf streams
  -Fix multi-slice hevc encoding
  -Fix ABBA deadlock between vaapisink and vaapipostproc if running in
different threads
  -Fix Seeking failure while using navseek in pipeline
  -Fix PTS cache for MPEG2 GOP start.
  -Fix the wrong selection of passthrough mode in vaapipostproc
  -Fix GstVaapiVideoPool related dead-lock
  -Fix the race condition while setting drm device type
  -Fix crash in vaapidecode if buffer outlives the decoder
  -Fix memory leak in vaapidecode
  -Fix multiple caps negotiation issues with vaapi elements
  -Improve check for upstream element that requires DMABUF buffer pool
  -Fix vaapisink memory leak in debug mode
  -Fix crash when seeking mpeg2 strems
  -Fix support for Wayland/EGL running alongside X11
  (around 70+ bug reports fixed)

* GStreamer support corner:
  - Removed the support for GStreamer 0.10 and 1.0
  - GStreamer >= 1.2 is the minimal requirement
  - GStreamer 1.2.x is deprecated, and will be obsoleted in a future release

== Reporting Bugs ==

* Bugs can be reported in the GNOME Bugzilla system at:
  <https://bugzilla.gnome.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=gstreamer-vaapi>

>From the main page, new bugs can be reported through New -> Other ->
