posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Jan 07, 2025

Quoting: GStreamer 1.24.11 Enhances Stability Across Platforms —

The GStreamer team has rolled out a new bug-fix release, 1.24.11, for the stable 1.24 series. While this latest update remains fully compatible with earlier 1.24.x versions, it delivers several crucial enhancements designed to improve both performance and reliability.
