Introducing Xuggler 3.0

Since 2.0 was a major release, the original plan was to have 2.1 be a “only bug fixes” release.

Screw that!

Here comes Xuggler 3.0! Here’s some of the new features you can try out:

• A simpler API for decoding and encoding: MediaTool. See the new tutorials, but we think it rocks.
• New MemoryModel technology that can speed up Xuggler programs by over 40%.
• Improved scaling for multi-threaded programs, including the ability to interrupt blocking calls.
• Seamless Java IO support (e.g. InputStream, and OutputStream).
• A simpler API for getting access to video, audio and packet memory.
• The ability to query which formats and codecs Xuggler supports.
• … and more!

As usual, read the release notes for details.
