I'm okay for upgrading 1.0.7 to 1.2 since gstreamer is always upgrading, and 
Tizen need upgrade soon or later.

Thanks,
Wind

Subject: Proposal: upgrading GStreamer 1.0.7 to Gstreamer 1.2.0 for Tizen 3.0

Hi,

We're planning to upgrade Gstreamer 1.0.7 to Gstreamer 1.2.0 for Tizen 3.0, 
please comment *by the end of this week*, silence would be taken as consensus. 
:)

Here are some information for your reference:

1)      Both 1.0.7 and 1.2.0 are part of GStreamer 1.x API/ABI stable releases, 
so porting efforts should be moderate.

2)      1.2.0 contains many bug fixes since 1.0.7, as well as some new 
features, for example, uvch264 plugin which has been asked by IVI for a long 
time, is not available in 1.0.7 release.
[Wind: it's good to have uvch264 enabled in gstreamer, but I don't think IVI is 
very necessary to use uvch264 for camera, the H.264 encoded camera may be very 
expensive and doesn't support many features(bitrate, qp, intra-period, 
profiles) for H.264 encoding and it may still need transcoding since APP may 
have more requirements ]


3)      1.0.7 is released about 4 months ago, considering there will be another 
several months before Tizen 3.0 final release, upgrading to 1.2.0 can avoid an 
too dated GStreamer at the time of Tizen 3.0 final release.

There are some interfaces changes between these two versions that we're now 
aware as below, please list if you have more for your domain.

1)      GstVideoContext has been moved from gst-plugins-bad(1.0.x) to gstreamer 
core(1.2, new name GstContext). This change means some porting work for 
gstreamer-vaapi.
[Wind; should be okay and upstream already starts the porting work. After that, 
I can porting encoder to gstreamer 1.2 too.]
Packages to be upgraded:
gstreamer, gst-plugins-base, gst-plugins-good, gst-plugins-ugly, 
gst-plugins-bad, gst-libav

Regards,
Yan
