ANNOUNCE: gstreamermm 0.9.9

[José Alburquerque <jaalburquerque cox net>]

gstreamermm provides C++ bindings for the GStreamer streaming multimedia
library (http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org).  With gstreamermm it is 
possible to
develop applications that work with multimedia in C++.

gstreamermm is developed over glibmm, libsigc++ and libxml++ and the
functionalities they provide.  This means that, among other things, 
referencing
and unreferencing of GObjects is handled automatically via glibmm's 
automatic
pointer class, Glib:RefPtr<>, and libsigc++'s slots are used for 
callbacks and
signals.

There are several examples, including a media player, in the examples/
directory, that demonstrate how to use the API and there are API docs in the
docs/reference/html directory.  The core plug-ins, such as Gst::Identity and
Gst::FileSrc are also provide along with many of the base plug-ins.

gstreamermm requires glibmm >= 2.16.0, giomm >= 2.16.0, and libxml++ >= 
2.14.0
along with the libraries that these require.  For the examples, gtkmm >= 
2.12
is also required.

Changes:

0.9.9 (unstable):

* Merged gstreamerbase branch into the gstreamer branch (everything that
 existed in the GstBase namespace now resides in the Gst namespace; GstBase
 namespace does not exist).
* Distributed plug-in source files instead of expecting them to be generated
 after tarball is distributed (Deng Xiyue) Bug #565454.
* Repaired Licensing inconsistencies (Deng Xiyue) Bugs #568950 and #545892.
* Added Mixer, Navigation, PropertyProbe, Tuner, and VideoOrientation
 interfaces and their related classes MixerTrack, MixerOptions, 
TunerChannel,
 and TunerNorm.  Modified plug-in generated classes to derive from the
 interfaces that the underlying GObject implements.
* Re-added GhostPad (Marcus Brinkmann) Bug #539063.
* BaseSink
 - Added wait_clock() and wait_eos() overrides.
* Added Preset interface.
* Many const corrections.
