The GStreamer 1.8 open-source multimedia framework has been released today after several months of hard work, and it appears to be a major release with dozens of new features.

GStreamer 1.8 adds initial support for the new Vulkan 1.0 API, implements hardware-accelerated zero-copy video decoding and a new video capture source for the Android platform, and adds reverse playback support for Windows Media files like WMA, WMV, and ASF.

However, the Opus audio codec appears to be the star of this release of GStreamer, as it received numerous improvements, such as support for more than two audio channels, caps handling support for the pbutils library, new codec utility functions for the Opus header, and MPEG-TS demuxer/muxer support.
