RELEASE: GStreamer Core and Plugins 1.0.2

Thu Oct 25 13:40:42 BST 2012

The GStreamer project announces another bug-fix release for the new
API and ABI-stable 1.x series of the GStreamer multimedia framework.

The 1.x series is a stable series targeted at end users. It is not API
or ABI compatible with the 0.10.x series. It can, however, be installed
in parallel with the 0.10.x series and will not affect an existing
0.10.x installation.

Changes since 1.0.1:

      * collectpads: ensure all timestamps are in same time domain
      * gobject-introspection: fix GstSample annotations
      * info: allow gst_debug_add_log_function() to be called before gst_init()
      * event: allow GST_CLOCK_TIME_NONE as duration for GAP events
      * documentation: new chapters and updates for the application development manual and the plugin writer's guide
      * alsa: fix probing of supported formats, and advertise non-native-endianness formats as fallback
      * audiobasesink: properly handle GAP events (fixing some isses with e.g. certain DVD menus)
      * audioconvert: try harder to not convert or to preserve input format precision
      * audiodecoder: leak fixes and refcounting fixes
      * audioresample: re-enable the SSE/SSE2 code paths for better performance
      * riff: fix paletted RGB formats and msvideo mapping
      * rtsp: make formatting and parsing of range floating-point values locale-independent
