RELEASE: GStreamer OpenGL Plug-ins 0.10.3 "Definitely Photoshopped"

[Tim-Philipp Müller <t i m zen co uk>]

This mail announces the release of GStreamer OpenGL Plug-ins 0.10.3 "Definitely Photoshopped".

The GStreamer OpenGL Plug-ins module contains integration libraries and
plug-ins for using OpenGL within GStreamer pipelines.

This module contains elements for, among others:

  output: glimagesink
  adapters: glupload, gldownload
  video processing: gldeinterlace, glcolorscale
  GL effects: glfiltersobel, glfilterblur, gleffects, others
  sources: gltestsrc

Please note that at this time, the GStreamer GL plugins module is not
considered API/ABI stable, and public interfaces may change from
release to release. This release is not API or ABI compatible with the
previous release.

Highlights of this release:

  * fix build and cocoa examples on MacOSX
  * more OpenGL ES 2.0 friendly
  * error out instead of doing nothing if an OpenGL feature is not present
  * gloverlay: add support to manage texture ratio and can load jpeg files
  * glshader: new element that load shader from files
  * glimagesink: Totem compatibility, fix pixel-aspect-ratio property
  * libvisual-gl: new plugin libvisual-gl, new element libvisual_gl_projectM

Special kudos to Julien Isorce who managed to make this the first
GStreamer module to be officially bug-free!

Release notes for GStreamer OpenGL Plug-ins 0.10.3 "Definitely Photoshopped"
        


The GStreamer team is proud to announce a new release
in the 0.10.x stable series of the GStreamer OpenGL 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.

Please note that at this time, the GStreamer GL plugins
        module is not considered API/ABI stable, and public interfaces
        may change from release to release.



This module contains integration libraries and plug-ins for using OpenGL within
GStreamer pipelines.

This module contains elements for, among others:

  output: glimagesink
  adapters: glupload, gldownload
  video processing: gldeinterlace, glcolorscale
  GL effects: glfiltersobel, glfilterblur, gleffects, others
  sources: gltestsrc
  libvisual GL visualizers


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-ugly
contains a set of well-supported plug-ins, but might pose problems for
    distributors
gst-plugins-bad
contains a set of less supported plug-ins that haven't passed the
    rigorous quality testing we expect
