GStreamer 1.8.0 was released on 24 March 2016.
The GStreamer team is proud to announce a new major feature release
in the stable 1.x API series of your favourite cross-platform
multimedia framework!
As always, this release is again packed with new features, bug fixes
and other improvements.
See https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/releases/1.8/ for the latest
version of this document.
Highlights
Hardware-accelerated zero-copy video decoding on Android
New video capture source for Android using the android.hardware.Camera
API
Windows Media reverse playback support (ASF/WMV/WMA)
New tracing system provides support for more sophisticated
debugging tools
New high-level GstPlayer playback convenience API
Initial support for the new Vulkan API, see Matthew Waters'
blog post for more details
Improved Opus audio codec support: Support for more than two
channels; MPEG-TS demuxer/muxer can now handle Opus; sample-accurate
encoding/decoding/transmuxing with Ogg, Matroska, ISOBMFF
(Quicktime/MP4), and MPEG-TS as container; new codec utility
functions for Opus header and caps handling in pbutils library.
The Opus encoder/decoder elements were also moved to gst-plugins-base
(from -bad), and the opus RTP depayloader/payloader to -good.
GStreamer VAAPI module now released and maintained as part of
the GStreamer project
Asset proxy support in the GStreamer Editing Services
No relevant changes for the ones we have in pkgsrc, I think.
