This mail announces the release of Flumotion 0.6.1 'El Agüelo'.
Flumotion is a GPL streaming media server written in Python. It is
distributed
and component-based: every step in the streaming process (production,
conversion, consumption) can be run inside a separate process on separate
machines.
Flumotion uses Twisted and GStreamer. Twisted enables the high-level
functionality, distributing components over the network. GStreamer,
through the
Python bindings, enables the high-speed low-level functionality: actual
media
processing.
Flumotion uses a central manager process to control the complete
network; one
or more worker processes distributed over machines to run actual streaming
components; and one or more admin clients connecting to the manager to
control
it.

Release notes for Flumotion 0.6.1 "El Agüelo"
The Flumotion team announces
a new release of the stable 0.6 branch
of the Flumotion Streaming Server.
Flumotion is a streaming media server created with the backing of
Fluendo. It features intuitive graphical administration tools, making
the task of setting up and manipulating audio and video streams easy for
even novice system administrators. Flumotion is released under the GPL.
Overview
In the best tradition of brown paper bag releases, here's a bugfix release of
the 0.6 stable series. It turned out that the contents of 0.6.0 tarballs did
not match the release tag and some last bugfixes made before the 0.6.0 release
did not make it to those tarballs. We know who to blame and did the appropriate
amount of pointing and laughing.
We mostly took the time to hunt down GStreamer issues that gave us some trouble
during the final days leading to 0.6.0. We're happy to say that all of them
have been addressed and Flumotion can now stream both Dirac inside Ogg and
mu-law audio in multipart container. The components will detect if you're
running an affected version of GStreamer and will display warning messages. To
fully enjoy Flumotion as a multiformat streaming server, you will need at least
gst-plugins-base 0.10.25, gst-plugins-good 0.10.17 and gst-plugins-bad 0.10.14,
some of which are yet due to be released.
Apart from that, this release includes some minor bugfixes and cosmetic
differences that were added after 0.6.0.
Below is the summary of the bugs fixed since the last stable release codenamed
"Can Punyetes".
Bugs fixed in this release
* 809 : bad error message for ical disker
* 1267 : disker component should handle all exceptions that it might get
from parsing the ical file
* 1341 : [dirac] dirac encoder + ogg muxer produce empty output
* 1342 : [mulaw + multipartmux] mulaw + multipart don't work
* 1348 : cannot delete sleeping components for which there is no worker
* 1354 : Update flumotion-{worker,manager,admin} man pages
