New GStreamer core, -plugins and -ffmpeg releases

[Ronald S. Bultje]

Hi,

I'd like to inform you that the past few days, the GStreamer team was
pleased to announce GStreamer 0.8.7, GStreamer Plugins 0.8.5 and
GStreamer FFmpeg 0.8.2. Those three releases mark progress of GStreamer
to become the de facto multimedia framework for the Linux and UNIX
desktop, that we hope to be included in KDE 4 just like it is in GNOME
already. GStreamer is now translated in 12 languages, includes over a
100 plugins with approximately 500 elements.

With Totem (unfortunately GNOME-based) as a powerful video player (which
is included in Fedora 3 Rawhide as of recently), and many popular audio
players including Amarok, JuK, Muine and Rhythmox based on GStreamer, we
believe that this is the real-world proof of our functionality. Please
try out your favourite GStreamer-based media application and help us
make subsequent releases even better. Particularly, we would like to
invite everyone to create bug reports for every single failing media
file. We will gladly fix them, so that your favourite GStreamer-based
media player plays even those files in our next release.

For downloads, bug reports, news items or documentation, please visit
our website: http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/.

Enjoy,

Ronald
