[linux-audio-announce] GStreamer "Mobil Avenue" 0.7.3 released

by Christian Schaller

GStreamer "Mobil Avenue" 0.7.3 released The GStreamer team is happy to announce our third release in the 0.7.x development series of the GStreamer streaming-media framework. The goal of this release series is to stabilize it towards a 0.8 release series which will be part of the GNOME 2.6 releases and hopefully eventually KDE 4.x. The 0.7 series is a development series and is aimed at developers. It is NOT API or ABI compatible with the stable 0.6.x series or with other releases in the series. This means you can not use this release to upgrade your current GStreamer installation and expect your GStreamer applications to keep working. It is parallel installable with the 0.6.x series however. This development series contains a lot of improvements compared to the 0.6.x series and is a much better foundation for building advanced video handling applications. Below we list most of the major changes and additions. Most are included in this release, but not all are complete yet as they will be in time for the 0.8.0 release. New/improved features in 0.7.3 release * Added libcaca plugin for Ascii-Art colour output. * Fix bug hindering seeking from working * Fix RGB colorspace transformation bug * Solaris build fixes * Lots of work in the CAPS branch, will be merged right after this release * gdkpixbuf loader no longer built by default, also fixed it in regards to packaging * And as usual a ton of bugfixes Download: You find the latest tarballs of this release either on Sourceforge: http://www.gstreamer.net/releases/0.7.3/ Applications As mentioned there are some changes in API/ABI between the 0.6.x and 0.7.x releases. Many applications will probably be source compatible between 0.6.x. and 0.7.x however. Rhythmbox and Sound Juicer for instance works very well when compiled on 0.7.x. Gst-player do not work accross releases however, so we will make a separate release of gst-player with the needed fixes for it to work with 0.7.x. This release contains the core fixes we where waiting for to port the player over so expect a Gst-player release in the near future. GStreamer Homepage More details on these features can be found on the project's website, http://gstreamer.net/. Support and Bugs We use Gnome's Bugzilla for bug reports and feature requests. The "product name" is GStreamer (capital G). Developers GStreamer is hosted on SourceForge. As of this release we have moved GStreamer CVS to freedesktop. All code is in CVS and can be checked out from there. Interested developers of the core library, plug-ins, and applications should subscribe to the gstreamer-devel list. Contributors to this release * David Schleef <ds(AT)schleef.org> * Andy Wingo <wingo(AT)pobox.com> * Julien Moutte <julien(AT)moutte.net> * Ronald Bultje <rbultje(AT)ronald.bitfreak.net> * Iain Holmes <iain(AT)prettypeople.org> * Jérémy Simon <jsimon13(AT)yahoo.fr> * Leif Morgan Johnson <leif(AT)ambient.2y.net> * Benjamin Otte <in7y118(AT)public.uni-hamburg.de> * Thomas Vander Stichele <thomas(AT)apestaart.org> * Zeeshan Ali <zak147(AT)yahoo.com> * Jan Schmidt <thaytan(AT)mad.scientist.com> * Brian Cameron <brian.cameron(AT)sun.com> * Christian Fredrik Kalager Schaller <Uraeus(AT)gnome.org>

[linux-audio-announce] Ecasound 2.3.2 released

by Kai Vehmanen

1. A short summary of changes Support has been added for libsndfile. This allows to access a number of new audio file formats such as W64, PVF and VOC files. Integration with libaudiofile and MikMod has also been improved. Bugs in the native Python ECI implementation have been fixed. Rubyecasound, a Ruby ECI implementation, has been added to the package. A serious memory-leak in list handling functions of the C ECI implementation was fixed. This bugfix also affects C++, Perl and PHP ECI implementations. Compiling Ecamegapedal works again as the header files missing from the previous 2.3.1 release are now again included in the dist-package. Many minor bugs have been fixed. --- 2. What is Ecasound? Ecasound is a software package designed for multitrack audio processing. It can be used for simple tasks like audio playback, recording and format conversions, as well as for multitrack effect processing, mixing, recording and signal recycling. Ecasound supports a wide range of audio inputs, outputs and effect algorithms. Effects and audio objects can be combined in various ways, and their parameters can be controlled by operator objects like oscillators and MIDI-CCs. A versatile console mode user-interface is included in the package. Ecasound is licensed under the GPL. The Ecasound Control Interface (ECI) is licensed under the LGPL. --- 3. Changes since last release * Rubyecasound, a Ruby ECI implementation, has been added to the package. Developer documentation can be found at <http://eca.cx/eci>. Rubyecasound was developed by Jan Weil. * Some files were missing from the previous 2.3.1 release dist-package. This caused the "make check" test procedure to fail, and also prevented from compiling Ecamegapedal against 2.3.1. In 2.3.2 the missing files are once again included in the dist-package. * Libsndfile support has been added to Ecasound (development item 'edi-33'). Support for libaudiofile has also been improved in this release. The user can now compile in support for both libraries at the same time. It is possible to use command-line options to select which library to use for a given file. Similar improvements have been made to the MikMod support. See the ecasound(1) man page for more details. * Some bugs in libsamplerate integration have been fixed. Upgrading to libsamplerate version 0.0.15 or newer is recommended. This release contains a few important fixes that affect Ecasound. A few examples of resampling with Ecasound have been added to the docs: <http://www.wakkanet.fi/~kaiv/ecasound/Documentation/examples.html>. * A severe memory-leak bug was found and fixed in the C ECI implementation. This bug affects applications that heavily use EIAM commands that return lists of strings. The C ECI is used by C++, Perl, PHP and Python ECI implementations. * Bugs in the native Python ECI implementation have been fixed. The C-based Python ECI implementation is still selected as the default, but you can override this with the '--enable-pyecasound=python' option to configure. Note, 'native' here means that ECI API is implemented without linking to any Ecasound libraries. Instead the ECI implementation forks 'ecasound' binary on the background and communicates with it using pipes. This allows for clear decoupling between ECI apps and specific Ecasound version. More information about ECI can be found at <http://www.eca.cx/eci>. Full list of changes is available at <http://www.wakkanet.fi/~kaiv/ecasound/history.html>. --- 4. Interface and configuration file changes None. --- 5. Contributors Patches - Accepted code, documentation and build system changes Jan Weil (2) -- rubyecasound ECI implementation, new docs Mark de Wever (1) -- typo in libecasoundc-config usage Kai Vehmanen (various) Bug Hunting - Reports that led to bugfixes (items closed) Fernando Pablo Lopez-Lezcano (1) -- preset.h not installed Jan Weil (1) -- the ecacontrol.py bug --- 6.
