14 DAY TRIAL // GStreamer, a development framework for creating applications such as media players, video editors, and others, has been upgraded to version 1.6.3 and is now ready for download.
The GStreamer project seems to be going great, and they pushed for a new update a little over a month after the previous one. It’s not as exciting as you might think, but there are a few interesting items in the release.
“The GStreamer team is proud to announce the third bugfix release in the stable 1.6 release series of your favourite cross-platform multimedia framework! This release only contains bugfixes and it is safe to update from 1.6.x,” the announcement reads.
According to the changelog, a regression in GL library that made glimagesink unusable on Android has been corrected, a crash in AAC/ADTS typefinder caused by reading more memory than is available has been fixed, a crash in pcap parser on 0-sized packets has been fixed, calculation of SBC frame lengths is now done correctly, the FFMpeg snapshot has been updated in gst-libav to 2.8.5, a couple of memory leaks have been fixed, and lots of other smaller fixes have been implemented as well.
A complete list of architectural changes, new features, and updates can be found in the official changelog. You can download GStreamer 1.6.3 right now from Softpedia, but please keep in mind that it’s only the source code.
