GStreamer 1.17.1 development release

[Tim-Philipp Müller-2]

The GStreamer team is pleased to announce the first development release
in the unstable 1.17 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 unstable 1.17 release series is for testing and development
purposes in the lead-up to the stable 1.18 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.

Draft release notes highlighting all the new features, bugfixes,
performance optimisations and other important changes in the 1.17/1.18
are still being prepared and will be made available in due course.

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

This development release is primarily for 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.

Instead of a gst-validate tarball we now ship a gst-devtools tarball.

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

The rough plan going forward is probably another development release in
1-2 weeks time, and then feature freeze and a first 1.18 pre-release
around the first week of July or so. Then hopefully we can get 1.18 out
sometime later that month.

As always, please let us know of any issues you run into by filing a
bug in Gitlab: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer

Enjoy!

Cheers
 Tim

Sorry for the noob question and congrats for your awesome work here guys,
is there a way to download the development build for windows?

Should I build it by my self or there is a downloadable binary?

Thanks,
Davide

To quote from the e-mail: "Binary packages for Android, iOS, Mac OS X
and Windows will be provided in the next few days."

You can try and build them yourself already of course. Depends on
whether you're happy to wait or need binaries right now.

Cheers

Binaries are up now at the usual location:

  https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/pkg/

Please give them a spin and let us know if anything is amiss.

Tried it and man it's super awesome.

Basically I changed from "dx9screencapsrc" to "dxgiscreencapsrc".

My capture framerate changed from a stuttery mess at 9FPS to
a capped rock solid 30 FPS with no lag, no stutter, flawless!
Using 4K display here so 30FPS is not that easy.

Congrats all guys and thanks for your awesome work!

Davide

the android build seems to be broken

1. does not link libiconv by default as did previous releases - had to add GSTREAMER_EXTRA_LIBS := -liconv

2. can't build with dashdemux plugin enabled as it is missing a link too. I just disabled in this case

3. having built after working around #1 and #2, it fails with

../sys/androidmedia/gst-android-hardware-camera.c:1763:_init_classes Failed to initialize android.hardware.Camera classes: Failed to get static field ID EFFECT_EMBOSS (Ljava/lang/String;): java.lang.NoSuchFieldError: no "Ljava/lang/String;" field "EFFECT_EMBOSS" in class "Landroid/hardware/Camera$Parameters;" or its superclasses

    java.lang.NoSuchFieldError: no "Ljava/lang/String;" field "EFFECT_EMBOSS" in class "Landroid/hardware/Camera$Parameters;" or its superclasses

I don't know how to sidestep #3. I don't need the camera in my app but it is part of native_init()

Thanks for testing! Could you file an issue about these in gitlab
please, so we don't forget about it? (cerbero component)

Hi,

1. Is semi-expected.  You can probably also fix that by adding glib-2.0 to GSTREAMER_EXTRA_DEPS.  The ndk-build magic no longer exposes links to all dependant libraries by default.  Each library needs to be linked manually in order for the resulting gstreamer_android library to expose the necessary symbols.
2. The dashdemux plugin was renamed to the dash plugin.  Nothing wrong here.
3. This is an interesting issue that warrants investigation and an issue in gitlab.
