are you drunk? gstreamer 0.10.x was fully api- and abi-compatible for its entire lifespan, from 2005 until, well, now. 1.0.x was released late last year, but seven years of abi compatibility isn't exactly a bad run, and 0.10.x continues to exist and see maintenance releases.Originally posted by TheBlackCat View Post
and while we're at it, gtk+ 2.x was fully abi-stable for its entire lifespan of nine years.Comment

are you talking about the same dbus which was designed not only by havoc, but also to a large extent by waldo bastian, one of the primary guys behind dcop? dbus was always a collaborative effort, designed to work for both gnome and kde, by gnome and kde developers.Originally posted by TheBlackCat View PostComment

they aren't the same thing, as you can probably work out from telepathy being a service and libpurple being a shared library. if you want proper shell integration, either you can use telepathy as a service (wrapping libpurple for proprietary protocols and using its native, and far more extensive, support for xmpp and various other protocols), or ... build your own telepathy-like service wrapping libpurple only.Originally posted by Awesomeness View PostComment

This means wine gstreamer will be brocken for a long time. Qt4 QGstramer too which means telepathy-call-ui will be useless until a K Frameworks 5 versiom is out.Originally posted by 89c51 View PostComment

heh, my bad. well, it does continue to exist at least, and works no less well than it ever did - including being parallel-installable with 1.0 ...Originally posted by 89c51 View PostComment

really? it's not like 0.10.x suddenly gained a load of bugs or is suddenly unusable. it's parallel-installable with 1.0.x too, so there's no pressure for a sudden and immediate switch. same way the 0.8.x → 0.10.x transition was handled.Originally posted by Thaodan View PostComment

On topic though... Gstreamer did the ABI/API break right, they made sure you could have both (pre-break and post-break) versions installed simultaneously so that no matter what software you had targetting no matter what version of Gstreamer your stuff still worked exactly as it was intended. There's no conspiracy theory. There's no magic genie suddenly making gstreamer0.10 have tons of bugs that it didn't have before (though using an unmaintained piece of software isnt a great idea, granted). Install both, call it a happy day, and if you have a piece of software that REQUIRES 0.10 then got on the developers ass to port it to 1.x, its that simple.All opinions are my own not those of my employer if you know who they are.Comment

No, not suddenly but it's still unusable. Any media play framework is that randomly stops playback is useless: http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=281897Originally posted by daniels View Post
Bugs like these are nowadays only getting fixed in GStreamer 1.x (hopefully they get fixed at all).
Not only does Phonon ensure KDE's ABI stability promise, it also means that people like me can simply avoid such bugs by just using the VLC back-end.Comment
