GStreamer 1.12 released

The 1.12 release of the GStreamer multimedia framework is out. It contains many new features and bug fixes. New features include support for Intel's Media SDK for hardware-accelerated video encoding and decoding, multi-threaded video scaling and conversion, x264 can encode multiple bit depths transparently, multiple new video formats are supported, and so on. "More than 635 bugs have been fixed during the development of 1.12.This list does not include issues that have been cherry-picked into the stable 1.10 branch and fixed there as well, all fixes that ended up in the 1.10 branch are also included in 1.12.This list also does not include issues that have been fixed without a bug report in bugzilla, so the actual number of fixes is much higher."
