GStreamer, a development framework for creating applications such as media players, video editors, and so on, has finally reached version 1.0.2.

The GStreamer project has announced that a new API and ABI-stable 1.x series, which makes up the GStreamer multimedia framework, has been released.

Gstreamer 1.0.2 is the second bugfix release and it covers all the applications that make up the framework.

Unfortunately, GStreamer 1.0.2 is not API or ABI compatible with the 0.10.x series, and the two versions can't be installed in parallel.

Highlights of GStreamer 1.0.2:

• Parallel installability with 0.10.x series; • All timestamps must be in same time domain; • GstSample annotations in the gobject-introspection packages have been fixed; • gst_debug_add_log_function() is allowed to be called before gst_init(); • GST_CLOCK_TIME_NONE is allowed for GAP events; • New chapters and updates have been added, for the application development manual and the plugin writer's guide; • Probing of supported formats and advertise non-native-endianness formats as fallback have been fixed; • Writing of image tags into vorbis comments has been fixed; • running-time for NTP time when use-pipeline-clock is set is now allowed; • The race condition, where a src setcaps is ignored, has been fixed; • DVD event has been updated in order to enhance approach as used in mpegpsdemux; • A mode where caps are taken from upstream and only timestamping is performed, has been added; • Update internal libav snapshot to 0.8.4 release which includes many crashes and CVE fixes; • Timestamd latency, query handling, and event leak, have been fixed.

A complete list of architectural changes, new features and updates can be found in the official changelog and in the Wim Tayman's GStreamer 1.0 keynote from the GStreamer Conference 2012 in San Diego.
