The GStreamer team is happy to announce a new release in the 0.8.x stable series of the GStreamer Plugins.

The 0.8.x series is a stable series aimed at end users. It is not API or ABI compatible with the stable 0.6.x series. It is, however, parallel installable with the 0.6.x series.

This module contains plugins providing media encoding and decoding, conversion, effects, and other elements that provide actual media handling functionality to the core. You need the GStreamer core module to make them work. The versions do not need to match exactly, as long as all of them are in the 0.8.x series.

The FFmpeg-based decoder element has been moved to its own module. If you want support for a lot of popular video formats, you need to install this module along with the GStreamer Core and Plugins. An FFmpeg-based colorspace element has been added to the Plugins however.

GnomePython and GnomePythonExtras 2.10.0 have been released. These are stable releases targeted at the GNOME 2.10 platform.

For those not following the story behind GnomePythonExtras, I recall that the old GnomePython 2.6 has been split, with python modules wrapping libraries not part of the GNOME Developer Platform moving away from GnomePython into a new package, GnomePythonExtras.

GnomePythonExtras, besides receiving the modules formerly in GnomePython, also absorbed some other modules previously distributed standalone, such as pygtksourceview, and got some new modules written from scratch as well.

gnome-panel 2.10.0 has been released:

GNOME panel is, well, the panel in GNOME. You know, the bar you see at the top and at the bottom of your desktop, with menus and lots of applets on it. That's it. That's the panel.

This is the "Mais où sont passés les bugs ?" release: since the 2.8.0 release, 732 gnome-panel bugs were marked as RESOLVED (including 190 FIXED, 347 DUPLICATE, 82 INCOMPLETE and 74 NOTGNOME) and 321 were marked as CLOSED. Of course, this is just some figures from bugzilla and it doesn't even count a lot of other fixes and improvements. We now have 144 open bugs and 94 open enhancement requests in bugzilla. And we hope to bring these numbers down again in the next development cycle.
