2 Release notes for GStreamer 1.0.1
5 The GStreamer team is proud to announce a new bug-fix release
6 in the 1.x stable series of the
7 core of the GStreamer streaming media framework.
10 The 1.x series is a stable series targeted at end users.
11 It is not API or ABI compatible with the stable 0.10.x series.
12 It is, however, parallel installable with the 0.10.x series and
13 will not affect an existing 0.10.x installation.
16 The 1.x series has been reworked for more flexible memory handling, improved
17 caps negotiation and re-negotiation, better handling of dynamic pipelines,
18 and increased performance in general. It also features countless other feature
19 additions and enhancements.
22 This module, gstreamer, only contains core functionality.
23 For actual media playback, you will need other modules.
26 contains a basic set of well-supported plugins
28 contains a set of well-supported plugins under our preferred license
30 contains a set of well-supported plugins, but might pose problems for
33 contains a set of less supported plugins that haven't passed the
34 rigorous quality testing we expect, or are still missing documentation
37 contains a set of codecs plugins based on libav (formerly gst-ffmpeg)
