Hello everyone,

As part of the ongoing effort to provide better tooling and services for the GStreamer community at wide, there is now a Matrix instance for GStreamer available at https://matrix.to/#/#community:gstreamer.org . You can join using a matrix client and a matrix account (the GStreamer instance does not provide account creation).

The decision comes after discussions that took place during the gstreamer conference/hackfest and discussions here : https://discourse.gstreamer.org/t/a-replacement-for-irc/151 . But the summary is that Matrix provides a modern chat system with features people expect in this day and age, while not being a closed silo.

There are already some rooms up:

• General Discussion The main discussion channel
• GStreamer newcomers for those new to GStreamer
• GStreamer Releases for preparing releases
• Rust 🦀 GStreamer for the crustaceous multimedians
• Python 🐍 GStreamer for the pythonistas
• Sysadmin and service support for discussions and questions on the services behind gstreamer.org (matrix, discourse, mail, …)
• And more rooms will be made available on a as-needed basis

Note that a client with support for spaces and threads is recommended (but not mandatory).

In terms of the OFTC IRC channel, it will remain bridged to matrix (2/3 users in #gstreamer on IRC are already accessing it via Matrix), but we recommend switching over to using the above matrix rooms since:

• They provide the full matrix experience (history, threads, search, emojis, calls,…)
• They offer more rooms than the (single) IRC room
• Using the IRC bridge requires you to handle IRC commands if you wish to join/speak there (NickServ)
• The IRC bridge isn’t maintained by the GStreamer community and we cannot guarantee it will always be around/up.

The GStreamer 1.20 series has now been superseded by the new stable GStreamer 1.22 series and we recommend you upgrade at your earliest convenience.

Version 0.20 of the GStreamer Rust bindings was released. Together with the bindings, also version 0.10 of the GStreamer Rust plugins was released.

As usual this release follows the latest gtk-rs 0.17 release and the corresponding API changes.

This release features relatively few changes and mostly contains the addition of some convenience APIs, the addition of bindings for some minor APIs and various optimizations.

As part of the optimizations there will be a lot fewer temporary allocations with the new version (especially for NUL-terminated strings), and improved code generation which does not only improve performance but also reduces the size of the resulting binaries considerably. Various GStreamer plugins saw size reductions of 15-20%.

The new release also brings a lot of bugfixes, most of which were already part of the 0.19.x bugfix releases.

Details can be found in the release notes for gstreamer-rs.

The code and documentation for the bindings is available on the freedesktop.org GitLab

• GStreamer Rust Bindings (documentation)

The new 0.10 version of the GStreamer Rust plugins features many improvements to the existing plugins as well as a few new plugins. A majority of the changes were already backported to the 0.9 release series and its bugfix releases, which is part of GStreamer 1.22.

A full list of available plugins can be seen in the repository's README.md.

Details for this release can be found in the release notes for gst-plugins-rs.

If you find any bugs, notice any missing features or other issues please report them in GitLab for the bindings or the plugins.

The GStreamer team is excited to announce a new major feature release of your favourite cross-platform multimedia framework!

As always, this release is again packed with new features, bug fixes and many other improvements.

GStreamer 1.19.2 unstable development release

The GStreamer team is pleased to announce the second development release in the unstable 1.19 release series.

The unstable 1.19 release series adds new features on top of the current stable 1.18 series and is part of the API and ABI-stable 1.x release series of the GStreamer multimedia framework.

The unstable 1.19 release series is for testing and development purposes in the lead-up to the stable 1.20 series which is scheduled for release in a few weeks time. Any newly-added API can still change until that point, although it is rare for that to happen.

Full release notes will be provided in the near future, highlighting all the new features, bugfixes, performance optimizations and other important changes.

This development release is primarily for distributors and early adaptors and anyone who still needs to update their build/packaging setup for Meson.

Packagers: please note that plugins may have moved between modules, so please take extra care and make sure inter-module version dependencies are such that users can only upgrade all modules in one go, instead of seeing a mix of 1.19 and 1.18 on their system. Also, gst-plugins-good 1.19.2 depends on 1.19.2 gst-plugins-base (even if the meson dependency check claims otherwise).

Binaries for Android, iOS, Mac OS X and Windows will also be available shortly at the usual location.

Git monorepo transition

Following the 1.19.2 release all git master branches in git are now frozen and will stay frozen. as we embark on some infrastructure plumbing that will see many of our git modules merged into a mono repository, which should massively streamline and improve our developer experience.

Expect a few days of disruptions, but we'll do our best to get the show back on the road as quickly as possible!

We'll let you know when it's all done and will post more details and migration instructions once everything's in place.

When we emerge on the other side there will be a shiny new main branch in the GStreamer repository and development will continue there.

Nothing will happen to the existing stable branches and repositories, and the existing master branches will also stay in place for the time being, but will no longer be updated.

There will still be separate release tarballs for the various modules.

More details soon, stay tuned.

The GStreamer team is pleased to announce another bug fix release in the stable 1.18 release series of your favourite cross-platform multimedia framework!

A new version of the GStreamer Rust bindings, 0.17.0, was released.

As usual this release follows the latest gtk-rs release.

This is the first version that includes optional support for new GStreamer 1.20 APIs. As GStreamer 1.20 was not released yet, these new APIs might still change. The minimum supported version of the bindings is still GStreamer 1.8 and the targetted GStreamer API version can be selected by applications via feature flags.

Apart from this, the new version features a lot of API cleanup, especially of the subclassing APIs, and the addition of a few missing bindings. As usual, the focus of this release was to make usage of GStreamer from Rust as convenient and complete as possible.

The new release also brings a lot of bugfixes, most of which were already part of the 0.16.x bugfix releases.

A new release of the GStreamer Rust plugins will follow in the next days.

Details can be found in the release notes for gstreamer-rs.

The code and documentation for the bindings is available on the freedesktop.org GitLab

• GStreamer Rust Bindings (documentation)

If you find any bugs, notice any missing features or other issues please report them in GitLab.

Due to the widely reported issues at the Freenode IRC network, the official GStreamer discussion IRC channel has moved to #gstreamer on the OFTC IRC network alongside other Freedesktop projects.

You can connect to it with your existing IRC client, or using Matrix which has a browser client and native apps for all platforms.

The GStreamer team is pleased to announce the first release candidate for the upcoming stable 1.18 release series.

The unstable 1.17 release series adds new features on top of the current stable 1.16 series and is part of the API and ABI-stable 1.x release series of the GStreamer multimedia framework.

The 1.17.90 pre-release series is for testing and development purposes in the lead-up to the stable 1.18 series which is now feature frozen and scheduled for release soon. Any newly-added API can still change until that point, although it is very rare for that to happen at this point.

Depending on how things go there might be another release candidate next week and then hopefully 1.18.0 shortly after.

Full release notes will be provided in the near future, highlighting all the new features, bugfixes, performance optimizations and other important changes.

The autotools build has been dropped entirely for this release, so it's finally all Meson from here on.

This pre-release is for all developers, distributors and early adaptors and anyone who still needs to update their build/packaging setup for Meson.

On the documentation front we have switched away from gtk-doc to hotdoc, but we now provide a release tarball of the built documentation in html and devhelp format, and we recommend distributors switch to that and provide a single gstreamer documentation package in future. Packagers will not need to use hotdoc themselves.

Instead of a gst-validate tarball we now ship a gst-devtools tarball, and the gstreamer-editing-services tarball has been renamed to gst-editing-services for consistency with the module name in Gitlab.

Packagers: please note that plugins may have moved between modules, so please take extra care and make sure inter-module version dependencies are such that users can only upgrade all modules in one go, instead of seeing a mix of 1.17 and 1.16 on their system.

Binaries for Android, iOS, Mac OS X and Windows are also available at the usual location.

A new version of the GStreamer Rust bindings, 0.15.0, was released.

As usual this release follows the latest gtk-rs release, and a new version of the GStreamer plugins written in Rust was also released.

This new version features a lot of newly bound API for creating subclasses of various GStreamer types: GstPreset, GstTagSetter, GstClock, GstSystemClock, GstAudioSink, GstAudioSrc, GstDevice, GstDeviceProvider, GstAudioDecoder and GstAudioEncoder.

In addition to that, a lot of bugfixes and further API improvements have happened over the last few months that should make development of GStreamer applications or plugins in Rust as convenient as possible.

A new release of the GStreamer Rust plugins will follow in the next days.

Details can be found in the release notes for gstreamer-rs and gstreamer-rs-sys.

The GStreamer team is pleased to announce the first bug fix release in the stable 1.16 release series of your favourite cross-platform multimedia framework!

This release only contains bugfixes and it should be safe to update from 1.16.x.

See /releases/1.16/ for the details.

Binaries for Android, iOS, Mac OS X and Windows will be available shortly.

Download tarballs directly here: gstreamer, gst-plugins-base, gst-plugins-good, gst-plugins-ugly, gst-plugins-bad, gst-libav, gst-rtsp-server, gst-python, gst-editing-services, gst-validate, gstreamer-vaapi, or gst-omx.

A new version of the GStreamer Rust bindings, 0.14.0, was released.

Apart from updating to GStreamer 1.16, this release is mostly focussed on adding more bindings for various APIs and general API cleanup and bugfixes.
The most notable API additions in this release are bindings for gst::Memory and gst::Allocator as well as bindings for gst_base::BaseParse and gst_video::VideoDecoder and VideoEncoder. The latter also come with support for implementing subclasses and the gst-plugins-rs module contains an video decoder and parser (for CDG), and a video encoder (for AV1) based on this.

As usual this release follows the latest gtk-rs release, and a new version of the GStreamer plugins written in Rust was also released.

Details can be found in the release notes for gstreamer-rs and gstreamer-rs-sys.

The code and documentation for the bindings is available on the freedesktop.org GitLab

• GStreamer Rust Bindings (documentation)
• GStreamer Rust Plugins
• GStreamer Rust FFI Bindings (documentation)

If you find any bugs, missing features or other issues please report them in GitLab.

The GStreamer project is happy to announce that this year's GStreamer Conference will take place on Thursday-Friday 31 October - 1 November 2019 in Lyon, France.

You can find more details about the conference on the GStreamer Conference 2019 web site.

A call for papers will be sent out in due course. Registration will open at a later time. We will announce those and any further updates on the gstreamer-announce mailing list, the website, and on Twitter.

Talk slots will be available in varying durations from 20 minutes up to 45 minutes. Whatever you're doing or planning to do with GStreamer, we'd like to hear from you!

We also plan to have sessions with short lightning talks / demos / showcase talks for those who just want to show what they've been working on or do a mini-talk instead of a full-length talk. Lightning talk slots will be allocated on a first-come-first-serve basis, so make sure to reserve your slot if you plan on giving a lightning talk.

There will also be a social event again on Thursday evening.

There are also plans to have a hackfest the weekend right after the conference on 2-3 November 2019.

We hope to see you in Lyon, and please spread the word!

The GStreamer team is pleased to announce another bug fix release in the old stable 1.14 release series of your favourite cross-platform multimedia framework.

This release only contains bugfixes and it should be safe to update from 1.14.x.

The 1.14 series has now been superseded by the new stable 1.16 series, and we recommend you upgrade at your earliest convenience.

See /releases/1.14/ for the details.

Binaries for Android, iOS, Mac OS X and Windows will be made available soon.

Download tarballs directly here: gstreamer, gst-plugins-base, gst-plugins-good, gst-plugins-ugly, gst-plugins-bad, gst-libav, gst-rtsp-server, gst-python, gst-editing-services, gst-validate, gstreamer-sharp, gstreamer-vaapi, or gst-omx.

The GStreamer team is excited to announce a new major feature release of your favourite cross-platform multimedia framework!

The 1.16 release series adds new features on top of the previous 1.14 series and is part of the API and ABI-stable 1.x release series of the GStreamer multimedia framework.

Highlights:

• GStreamer WebRTC stack gained support for data channels for peer-to-peer communication based on SCTP, BUNDLE support, as well as support for multiple TURN servers.
• AV1 video codec support for Matroska and QuickTime/MP4 containers and more configuration options and supported input formats for the AOMedia AV1 encoder
• Support for Closed Captions and other Ancillary Data in video
• Support for planar (non-interleaved) raw audio
• GstVideoAggregator, compositor and OpenGL mixer elements are now in -base
• New alternate fields interlace mode where each buffer carries a single field
• WebM and Matroska ContentEncryption support in the Matroska demuxer
• new WebKit WPE-based web browser source element
• Video4Linux: HEVC encoding and decoding, JPEG encoding, and improved dmabuf import/export
• Hardware-accelerated Nvidia video decoder gained support for VP8/VP9 decoding, whilst the encoder gained support for H.265/HEVC encoding.
• Many improvements to the Intel Media SDK based hardware-accelerated video decoder and encoder plugin (msdk): dmabuf import/export for zero-copy integration with other components; VP9 decoding; 10-bit HEVC encoding; video post-processing (vpp) support including deinterlacing; and the video decoder now handles dynamic resolution changes.
• The ASS/SSA subtitle overlay renderer can now handle multiple subtitles that overlap in time and will show them on screen simultaneously
• The Meson build is now feature-complete (with the exception of plugin docs) and it is now the recommended build system on all platforms. The Autotools build is scheduled to be removed in the next cycle.
• The GStreamer Rust bindings and Rust plugins module are now officially part of upstream GStreamer.
• The GStreamer Editing Services gained a gesdemux element that allows directly playing back serialized edit list with playbin or (uri)decodebin
• Many performance improvements

Full release notes can be found here.

Binaries for Android, iOS, Mac OS X and Windows will be provided in the next days.

You can download release tarballs directly here: gstreamer, gst-plugins-base, gst-plugins-good, gst-plugins-ugly, gst-plugins-bad, gst-libav, gst-rtsp-server, gst-python, gst-editing-services, gst-validate, gstreamer-vaapi, gstreamer-sharp, or gst-omx.

The GStreamer team is pleased to announce another maintenance bug-fix release of liborc, the Optimized Inner Loop Runtime Compiler. Main changes since the previous release:

• PowerPC: Support ELFv2 ABI (A. Wilcox) and ppc64le
• Mips backend: only enable if the DSPr2 ASE is present
• Windows and MSVC build fixes
• orccpu-arm: Allow 'cpuinfo' fallback on non-android
• pkg-config file for orc-test library
• orcc: add --decorator command line argument to add function decorators in header files
• meson: Make orcc detectable from other subprojects
• meson: add options to disable tests, docs, benchmarks, examples, tools, etc.
• meson: misc. other fixes

Direct tarball download: orc-0.4.29.

The GStreamer team is pleased to announce the first release candidate for the upcoming stable 1.16.0 release.

Check out the draft release notes highlighting all the new features, bugfixes, performance optimizations and other important changes.

Packagers: please note that quite a few plugins and libraries have moved between modules since 1.14, so please take extra care and make sure inter-module version dependencies are such that users can only upgrade all modules in one go, instead of seeing a mix of 1.15 and 1.14 on their system.

Binaries for Android, iOS, Mac OS X and Windows will be provided shortly.

The GStreamer team is pleased to announce the second development release in the unstable 1.15 release series.

The unstable 1.15 release series adds new features on top of the current stable 1.16 series and is part of the API and ABI-stable 1.x release series of the GStreamer multimedia framework.

The unstable 1.15 release series is for testing and development purposes in the lead-up to the stable 1.16 series which is scheduled for release in a few weeks time. Any newly-added API can still change until that point, although it is rare for that to happen.

Check out the draft release notes highlighting all the new features, bugfixes, performance optimizations and other important changes.

Packagers: please note that quite a few plugins and libraries have moved between modules since 1.14, so please take extra care and make sure inter-module version dependencies are such that users can only upgrade all modules in one go, instead of seeing a mix of 1.15 and 1.14 on their system.

In addition to this, the new release features many API improvements, cleanups, newly added bindings and bugfixes.

As usual this release follows the latest gtk-rs release, and a new version of GStreamer plugins written in Rust was also released.

Details can be found in the release notes for gstreamer-rs and gstreamer-rs-sys.

We also plan to have sessions with short lightning talks / demos / showcase talks for those who just want to show what they've been working on or do a mini-talk instead of a full-length talk. Lightning talk slots will be allocated on a first-come-first-serve basis, so make sure to reserve your slot if you plan on giving a lightning talk.

There will also be a social event again on Thursday evening.

There are also plans to have a hackfest the weekend right after the conference.

We hope to see you in Edinburgh!

The GStreamer team is pleased to announce the second and hopefully last release candidate for the upcoming stable 1.14 release series.

The 1.14 release series adds new features on top of the current stable 1.12 series and is part of the API and ABI-stable 1.x release series of the GStreamer multimedia framework.

The 1.13.91 pre-release is for testing and development purposes in the lead-up to the stable 1.14 series which is now feature frozen and scheduled for release soon.

Full release notes can be found on the 1.14 release notes page, highlighting all the new features, bugfixes, performance optimizations and other important changes.

Packagers: please note that quite a few plugins and libraries have moved between modules, so please take extra care and make sure inter-module version dependencies are such that users can only upgrade all modules in one go, instead of seeing a mix of 1.13 and 1.12 on their system.

Binaries for Android, iOS, Mac OS X and Windows will be provided shortly.

The unstable 1.13 release series is for testing and development purposes in the lead-up to the stable 1.14 series which is scheduled for release in a few weeks time. Any newly-added API can still change until that point, although it is rare for that to happen.

The GStreamer project is pleased to announce its new revamped documentation featuring a new design, a new navigation bar, search functionality, source code syntax highlighting as well as new tutorials and documentation about how to use GStreamer on Android, iOS, macOS and Windows.

It now contains the former gstreamer.com SDK tutorials which have kindly been made available by Fluendo & Collabora under a Creative Commons license. The tutorials have been reviewed and updated for GStreamer 1.x. The old gstreamer.com site will be shut down with redirects pointing to the updated tutorials and the official GStreamer website.

Thanks to everyone who helped make this happen.

This is just the beginning. Our goal is to provide a more cohesive documentation experience for our users going forward. To that end, we have converted most of our documentation into markdown format. This should hopefully make it easier for developers and contributors to create new documentation, and to maintain the existing one. There is a lot more work to do, do get in touch if you want to help out. The documentation is maintained in the new gst-docs module.

If you encounter any problems or spot any omissions or outdated content in the new documentation, please file a bug in bugzilla to let us know.
