GStreamer 1.28 is out today as the newest feature release for this widely-used, open-source multimedia framework.

With the GStreamer 1.28 feature release there is continued work from recent releases of writing more functionality in the Rust programming language for its memory safety guarantees. New Rust code in GStreamer 1.28 includes a burn-based YOLOX inference element and a YOLOX tensor decoder, an audio source separation element, a new GIF decoder element, and an Icecastsink element with AAC support

GStreamer 1.28 also brings improvements to inference elements, support for gapless looping with GstPlay, the JPEG parser has fixed handling of JPEGs with HDR gain maps, the Matroska demuxer can now handle 4K uncompressed video, Qtdemux has fixed MP4 demuxing issues, and various other fixes and improvements.
