GStreamer 1.2 released

Version 1.2 of the GStreamer multimedia framework has been released. Packages for GStreamer Core and GStreamer Plugins are available. The 1.2 release is API- and ABI-backwards-compatible with GStreamer 1.0, however there are several new features introduced. Several new plugins are included, including support for DASH adaptive streaming, JPEG2000 images, VP9 and Daala video, and decoding-only support for WebP. There is also a new command-line playback tool called gst-play-1.0 (designed for testing purposes), as well as numerous bugfixes and improvements.
