Release notes for GStreamer Ugly Plug-ins 0.10.14 "Run Rabbit"
        

The GStreamer team is proud to announce a new release
in the 0.10.x stable series of the
GStreamer Ugly Plug-ins.


The 0.10.x series is a stable series targeted at end users.
It is not API or ABI compatible with the stable 0.8.x series.
It is, however, parallel installable with the 0.8.x series.



"When you have to shoot, shoot.  Don't talk."


There are times when the world needs a color between black and white.
Quality code to match the good's, but two-timing, backstabbing and ready to
sell your freedom down the river.  These plug-ins might have a patent noose
around their neck, or a lock-up license, or any other problem that makes you
think twice about shipping them.


We don't call them ugly because we like them less.  Does a mother love her
son less because he's not as pretty as the other ones ? No  - she commends
him on his great personality.  These plug-ins are the life of the party.
And we'll still step in and set them straight if you report any unacceptable
behaviour - because there are two kinds of people in the world, my friend:
those with a rope around their neck and the people who do the cutting.


This module contains a set of plug-ins that have good quality and correct
functionality, but distributing them might pose problems.  The license
on either the plug-ins or the supporting libraries might not be how we'd
like. The code might be widely known to present patent problems.
Distributors should check if they want/can ship these plug-ins.


Other modules containing plug-ins are:


gst-plugins-base
contains a basic set of well-supported plug-ins
gst-plugins-good
contains a set of well-supported plug-ins under our preferred license
gst-plugins-bad
contains a set of less supported plug-ins that haven't passed the
    rigorous quality testing we expect



  

Features of this release

      * asfdemux: fix flow aggregation
      * asfdemux: try harder to put sane timestamps and durations on buffers
      * asfdemux: accept fragments in a continued packet where the subsequent fragments declare a size of 0
      * asfdemux: improve seek behaviour for audio-only files without an index
      * asfdemux: careful to avoid crash on bogus data; avoid strlen() on NULL pointers
      * asfdemux: add support for chained asfs (push mode)

      * asfdemux: post bitrate tags
      * mp3parse: seeking fixes: fix non-flushing seek, conserve stop time for non-accurate seek
      * rtspreal: memory leak fixes; make config header construction valgrind clean
      * rmdemux: fix AC-3 in RealAudio playback; post bitrate tags
      * x264enc: fix up avcC header construction and playback by flash players
      * x264enc: Make upstream GstForceKeyUnit thread-safe
      * x264enc: make use of Access Unit delimiters configurable
