Update GSTD recipe to newer release ?

[TopperBG]

Isn't time to update recipe to compile more fresh GSTD release?
I've made some patch to install GSTD v0.13.0 successfull but facing unmet dependacy:

| checking for pkg-config... /home/optix/thud/build_fb/tmp/work/armv7at2hf-neon-mx6qdl-fslc-linux-gnueabi/gstd/1.0.13-r0/recipe-sysroot-native/usr/bin/pkg-config

|     gstreamer-check-1.0        >= 1.0.0
|   ... yes
| checking for libsoup-2.4 >= 2.32... no
| configure: error: Package requirements (libsoup-2.4 >= 2.32) were not met:
| 
| No package 'libsoup-2.4' found
| 
| Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
| installed software in a non-standard prefix.
| 
| Alternatively, you may set the environment variables LIBSOUP_CFLAGS
| and LIBSOUP_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.

despite libsoup2.4 is installed on buidling machine:

libsoup2.4-1/bionic-updates,bionic-security,now 2.62.1-1ubuntu0.4 amd64 [installed]
  HTTP library implementation in C -- Shared library

libsoup2.4-cil/bionic,now 2.42.2+git20151219-3 amd64 [installed]
  CLI bindings for libsoup2.4

libsoup2.4-cil-dev/bionic,now 2.42.2+git20151219-3 amd64 [installed]
  CLI bindings for libsoup2.4 - development package

libsoup2.4-dev/bionic-updates,bionic-security,now 2.62.1-1ubuntu0.4 amd64 [installed]
  HTTP library implementation in C -- Development files

libsoup2.4-doc/bionic-updates,bionic-security,now 2.62.1-1ubuntu0.4 all [installed]
  HTTP library implementation in C -- API Reference

and on target distro too (grepping in manifest of compiled image):

libsoup-2.4 armv7at2hf_neon 2.62.3
libsoup-2.4-locale-en-gb armv7at2hf_neon 2.62.3

1. Yep, I would be happy to upgrade. Do you mind sharing your patch as a PR? someone may take it from there.
2. It really doesn't matter what version is installed in the build nor target machine. The configure script will check for the version available in the Yocto recipe, and will use that. You might want to check that instead.

I'm working on compilation of GSTD v.0.13.0 but facing more errors:

Made PR already with some exclusions

Any reaction here, already released v0.14.0 but nothing happens with meta-ridgerun.
Patches not works anymore for 0.14.0...
