GStreamer: Release notes for GStreamer FFmpeg 0.8.7 "Redneck soup"
        

The GStreamer team is happy to announce a new stable release of the
FFmpeg-based GStreamer plugin.


This module is separated from GStreamer Plugins for easier maintenance
and decoupled release cycles.
Our CVS contains both the patched source code to FFmpeg, as well as the
set of patches against upstream CVS, so we can send patches upstream
regularly from our modifications.

  
Features of this release
    
      * codecs for most popular formats
      * snapshot update to 20/10
      * fixed FPS setting bug for divx5 movies
      * fixed possible memleak in MJPEG decoding
      * fixed altivec detection which caused it to not run on G3 CPUs
      * added QDM2 decoding

Bugs fixed in this release
    
      * 312764 : --disable-encoders doesn't work
      * 313223 : gst-ffmpeg-0.8.6 fails to compile on a PPC 
      * 313970 : ffdec_mpeg4 detects wrong framerate with some files
