2 Release notes for GStreamer Good Plugins 1.4.0
5 The GStreamer team is pleased to announce the first release of
6 the stable 1.4 release series. The 1.4 release series is adding new
7 features on top of the 1.0 and 1.2 series and is part of the API and
8 ABI-stable 1.x release series of the GStreamer multimedia framework.
12 Binaries for Android, iOS, Mac OS X and Windows are provided together
17 The stable 1.4 release series is API and ABI compatible with 1.0.x,
18 1.2.x and any other 1.x release series in the future. Compared to 1.2.x
19 it contains some new features and more intrusive changes that were
20 considered too risky as a bugfix.
24 "Such ingratitude. After all the times I've saved your life."
27 A collection of plugins you'd want to have right next to you on the
28 battlefield. Shooting sharp and making no mistakes, these plugins have it
29 all: good looks, good code, and good licensing. Documented and dressed up
30 in tests. If you're looking for a role model to base your own plugin on,
34 If you find a plot hole or a badly lip-synced line of code in them,
35 let us know - it is a matter of honour for us to ensure Blondie doesn't look
36 like he's been walking 100 miles through the desert without water.
39 This module contains a set of plugins that we consider to have good quality
40 code, correct functionality, our preferred license (LGPL for the plugin
41 code, LGPL or LGPL-compatible for the supporting library).
42 We believe distributors can safely ship these plugins.
43 People writing elements should base their code on these elements.
46 Other modules containing plugins are:
50 contains a basic set of well-supported plugins
52 contains a set of well-supported plugins, but might pose problems for
55 contains a set of less supported plugins that haven't passed the
56 rigorous quality testing we expect, or are still missing documentation
59 contains a set of codecs plugins based on libav (formerly gst-ffmpeg)
