GSTREAMER 1.18 RELEASE NOTES
THESE RELEASE NOTES ARE A PLACEHOLDER, PLEASE BEAR WITH US WHILE WE
FINISH WRITING UP THE REAL THING.
GStreamer 1.18.0 has not yet been released. It is scheduled for release
in summer 2020 now.
1.17.x is the unstable development series that is currently being
developed in the git master branch and which will eventually result in
1.18, and 1.17.1 is the current development release in that series.
The schedule for the 1.18 development cycle is yet to be confirmed, but
it is expected that feature freeze will be in June/July 2020, followed
by several 1.17 pre-releases and then a new 1.18 stable release in
July/August 2020.
1.18 will be backwards-compatible to the stable 1.16, 1.14, 1.12, 1.10,
1.8, 1.6, 1.4, 1.2 and 1.0 release series.
See https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/releases/1.18/ for the latest
version of this document.
_Last updated: Thursday 18 June 2020, 16:00 UTC (log)_
Introduction
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 many new features, bug
fixes and other improvements.

Miscellaneous performance and memory optimisations
As always there have been many performance and memory usage improvements
across all components and modules. Some of them have already been
mentioned elsewhere so won’t be repeated here.
The following list is only a small snapshot of some of the more
interesting optimisations that haven’t been mentioned in other contexts
yet:
- FIXME

Build and Dependencies
- The Autotools build system has finally been removed in favour of the
Meson build system. Developers who currently use gst-uninstalled
should move to gst-build.
- API and plugin documentation are no longer built with gtk_doc. The
gtk_doc documentation has been removed in favour of a new unified
documentation module built with hotdoc. The intention is to
distribute the generated documentation in form of tarballs alongside
releases.
- FIXME
Cerbero
Cerbero is a meta build system used to build GStreamer plus dependencies
on platforms where dependencies are not readily available, such as
Windows, Android, iOS and macOS.
Cerbero has seen a number of improvements:
- FIXME
Platform-specific changes and improvements
Android
- FIXME
macOS and iOS
- FIXME
Windows
- toolchain upgrade
- FIXME
Contributors
- FIXME
… and many others who have contributed bug reports, translations, sent
suggestions or helped testing.
Stable 1.18 branch
After the 1.18.0 release there will be several 1.18.x bug-fix releases
which will contain bug fixes which have been deemed suitable for a
stable branch, but no new features or intrusive changes will be added to
a bug-fix release usually. The 1.18.x bug-fix releases will be made from
the git 1.18 branch, which will be a stable branch.
1.18.0
1.18.0 has not been released yet.
Known Issues
- FIXME
Schedule for 1.20
Our next major feature release will be 1.20, and 1.19 will be the
unstable development version leading up to the stable 1.20 release. The
development of 1.19/1.20 will happen in the git master branch.
The plan for the 1.20 development cycle is yet to be confirmed.
1.20 will be backwards-compatible to the stable 1.18, 1.16, 1.14, 1.12,
1.10, 1.8, 1.6, 1.4, 1.2 and 1.0 release series.
