Release notes for
Flumotion 0.4.2
"Belchica Strikes Back"
The Flumotion team is happy to announce
a new release of the
stable 0.4 branch
of the Flumotion Streaming Server.
Flumotion is a streaming server for GNU/Linux
systems featuring an easy to use configuration and administration GUI.
Implemented using GStreamer as the processing backend and using python and
Twisted for the high-level operations and GUI, it combines a wide feature set
with ease of use.
Features of this release
- Full support for running under Python 2.5
- The GTK admin can now start a manager and worker for you automatically
- Messages now have timestamps to allow better diagnosis of failures
- Improvements for service scripts to allow better recovery from failure states

- Error resilience is drastically improved compared to older versions
