As written in the previous blog post<\/a>, I’m working on nice Rust<\/a> bindings for GStreamer<\/a>. Now it’s finally time for the first release, 0.8.0<\/a>.<\/p>\n

First of all, I should thank Arturo Castro a lot. He worked on the previous GStreamer bindings (versions < 0.8.0), which were all manually written instead of mostly autogenerated like the new ones. As such, the API is now completely different but the old bindings can still be found here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Also I should thank Philippe Normand<\/a> and fengalin<\/a> for their work on (and usage of) the bindings and reporting various problems to me.<\/p>\n

This first release of the new bindings features bindings to almost all of GStreamer core<\/a>, app<\/a> and the player<\/a> library, and the most important parts of the GStreamer audio<\/a> and video<\/a> libraries (mostly for handling caps). Each library is in their own crate, just like in C. The documentation can be found here<\/a>, but unfortunately due to various rustdoc bugs and tooling issues with extracting the documentation from the C API, this is not as nice as it could be yet but that’s just a matter of time.<\/p>\n

Let me know if you run into any problems, find API that is missing for your usage, and of course also how\/what you’re using the bindings for. Especially if it’s an Open Source project. Bugs, feature requests, patches, etc. can be submitted on the GitHub repository<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And if you want to get started with using the bindings, in addition to the documentation<\/a> there are various examples available<\/a> in the GIT repository.<\/p>\n

If someone wonders about why the other crates also started with version 0.8.0 instead of 0.1.0: they are all going to stay in sync API-wise and having the same version number for the versions that are compatible with each other is going to make it less confusing for users.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
