Features of this release
- * video: add support for color-matrix and chroma-site fields in video caps and selected elements
- * video: Add support for 8-bit and 16-bit grayscale formats
- * typefinding: add AAC profile, level, channels and rate to ADTS caps
- * tags: add basic xmp metadata support
- * gio, gnomevfs: invert ranks of gio and gnomevfs elements: gio is prefered now, gnomevfs has been deprecated
- * riff: add mapping for On2 VP62 and VP7 and add some more MPEG4 fourccs
- * playsink: Don't fail if there are subtitles and audio but no video
- * oggdemux: map old FLAC mapping correctly
- * alsa: handle disappearing of sound device whilst in use more gracefully
- * playbin: Only unref the volume element on dispose and when a new audio sink is set
- * build: build plugin, example and libs directories in parallel if make -jN is used
- * uridecodebin/playbin2: we can handle avi in download mode too
- * rtsp: handle closed POST socket in tunneling, ignore unparsable ranges, allow for more ipv6 addresses
- * audiopayload: add property to control packet duration
+ * Use Orc (Optimized Inner Loops Runtime Compiler) for SIMD and
+ other optimisations, and remove liboil dependency. The main goal
+ for this release was to make the transition from liboil to liborc.
+ Performance improvements should not be expected and will be the
+ focus of future versions. liborc is an optional dependency for
+ the time being, to make it possible to test and develop the very
+ latest GStreamer versions on systems that don't have orc yet.
+ However, without orc slow unoptimised backup code will be used
+ for many performance critical code paths. Distributors are urged
+ to package and ship the latest version of liborc and compile
+ GStreamer modules with --enable-orc. Please do not distribute
+ GStreamer packages that are not orc enabled. More information on
+ the orc integration can be found in the docs/design/ directory.
+ * basertpaudiopayload: Set duration on buffers; add extra frame for
+ non-complete frame lengths
+ * riff: add mappings for On2 VP8 and VP6F (On2 VP6 Flash variant)
+ * video: Add support for RGB/BGR with 15 and 16 bits, and Y800 and Y16
+ * xmp/exif tags: add mappings for new tags (device, geo location, image orientation)
+ * adder, audioconvert, audioresample, volume: convert from liboil to orc
+ * adder: rework timestamping; only accept seek-types SEEK_NONE and SEEK_SET
+ * decodebin2: add "expose-all-streams" property to not expose/decode all streams
+ * decodebin2: use accumulator for autoplug-sort
+ * ffmpegcolorspace: add YUY2/YVYU to all RGB formats conversions
+ * ffmpegcolorspace: fix conversion of packed 4:2:2 YUV to RGB and 8 bit grayscale
+ * ffmpegcolorspace: fix Y16 from/to GRAY8 conversion
+ * ffmpegcolorspace: fix Y42B from/to YUY2/YVYU/UYVY conversion for odd widths
+ * ffmpegcolorspace: Map "Y8 " and "GREY" to "Y800" and add it to the template caps

+ * playbin2: add "av-offset" property to adjust audio/video sync
+ * playbin2: add flag for enabling/disabling automatic deinterlacing
+ * playbin2: fix race when querying duration right after preroll, by
+ forwarding duration query duration during group switch if no cached
+ duration exists
+ * playbin2: if a text sink is provided, let subtitle parsing be done by
+ decodebin2 if required
+ * playbin2: set the subtitle encoding on the decodebins again

+ * uridecodebin: add all qtdemux types to downloadable types
+ * uridecodebin: add the 'expose-all-streams' property from decodebin2
+ * uridecodebin: Allow video/webm for progressive downloading
+ * videorate, videotestsrc: fixate color-matrix, chroma-site and interlaced fields if necessary
+ * videoscale: Try to keep DAR when scaling
+ * videoscale: Add support for Y444, Y42B and Y41B and more gray formats
