from the announcement:
Notable changes include improved reliability for MKV file playback, fixed
MPEG2 audio and video encoding, pulseaudio synchronization, Mac OS
interface, and other fixes. It also resolves potential security issues in
HTML subtitle parser, freetype renderer, AIFF demuxer and SWF demuxer.
pkgsrc change: build upnp plugin -- it doesn't show any files for
me, but since upnp isn't an exact science others might have more luck
Revert the last commit and use the (new) FLEX_REQD directive in order
to build gstreamer on platforms with older versions of flex.
Thanks @wiz, @obache
gstreamer1 requires a version of flex that is 2.5.31 or greater.
DragonFly does not have a flex this new, so force gstreamer to use
the flex found at devel/flex (version 2.5.36 currently) rather than
the platform's native flex.

The MP4v2 library provides an API to create and modify mp4 files
as defined by ISO-IEC:14496-1:2001 MPEG-4 Systems. This file format
is derived from Apple's QuickTime file format that has been used
as a multimedia file format in a variety of platforms and applications.
It is a very powerful and extensible format that can accommodate
practically any type of media.
MP4v2 was originally bundled with mpeg4ip library, but has been
moved into its own maintained library due to a combination of the
cessation of support of mpeg4ip and the usefulness of this library
on its own.

Implement workarounds for Adobe Flash bugs
Implement two workarounds:
1) Swap U and V planes to VdpVideoSurfacePutBitsYCbCr to fix blue-tinged
videos.
2) Disable VdpPresentationQueueSetBackgroundColor, so that Flash doesn't
set the background to pure black or pure white, which would cause the
VDPAU image to bleed through to other parts of the desktop with those
very common colors.

vdpau_wrapper.c: Track dynamic library handles and free them on exit
using __attribute__((destructor))
GStreamer is a library that allows the construction of graphs of
media-handling components, ranging from simple mp3 playback to complex
audio (mixing) and video (non-linear editing) processing.
Applications can take advantage of advances in codec and filter technology
transparently. Developers can add new codecs and filters by writing a
simple plugin with a clean, generic interface.
This package provides the x264 plugin for GStreamer, making it able to
encode videos using the H.264 video codec.
