Please unblock package gstreamer1.0 GStreamer 1.18.4 is a bugfix release on top of 1.18.3, which is currently in testing/unstable. 1.18.4 is currently waiting in experimental until the unblock request is accepted. This does not affect only the gstreamer1.0 source package but also: - gst-plugins-base1.0 - gst-plugins-good1.0 - gst-plugins-bad1.0 - gst-plugins-ugly1.0 - gst-libav1.0 - gst-rtsp-server-1.0 - gstreamer-editing-services1.0 - gstreamer-vaapi and in theory gst-python1.0 and gst-plugins-bad1.0-contrib but those only got a new release without any other changes than the version number. It might make sense to get these two updated too to avoid user confusion caused by version numbers being out of sync. You can find a summary of the changes in the upstream release notes: https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/releases/1.18/#1.18.4 While there are quite a few changes, they are all targeted fixes for bugs that were found, and the fixes were manually cherry-picked from the current development branch and considered low-risk. Each change is built upstream on many different platforms, the unit tests get run as well as the whole integration testsuite. At the bottom of the release notes you can find a link to the list of all merge requests that were merged for this release. In addition to various more minor bugs, this release also fixes CVE-2021-3497 and CVE-2021-3498 as well as other potentially security-relevant issues that didn't get their own CVE. Ubuntu 21.04 and Fedora 34 are also going to release with 1.18.4. Thanks for your consideration! unblock gstreamer1.0/1.18.4-1
