2 Release notes for GStreamer Good Plugins 1.3.2
5 The GStreamer team is pleased to announce the second release of the unstable
6 1.3 release series. The 1.3 release series is adding new features on top of
7 the 1.0 and 1.2 series and is part of the API and ABI-stable 1.x release
8 series of the GStreamer multimedia framework. The unstable 1.3 release series
9 will lead to the stable 1.4 release series in the next weeks, and newly added
10 API can still change until that point.
14 Binaries for Android, iOS, Mac OS X and Windows will be provided separately
15 during the unstable 1.3 release series.
19 The versioning scheme that is used in general is that 1.x.y is API and
20 ABI backwards compatible with previous 1.x.y releases. If x is an even
21 number it is a stable release series and all releases in this series
22 will only contain important bugfixes, e.g. the 1.0 series with 1.0.7. If
23 x is odd it is a development release series that will lead to the next
24 stable release series 1.x+1 and contains new features and bigger
25 changes. During the development release series, new API can still

33 A collection of plugins you'd want to have right next to you on the
34 battlefield. Shooting sharp and making no mistakes, these plugins have it
35 all: good looks, good code, and good licensing. Documented and dressed up
36 in tests. If you're looking for a role model to base your own plugin on,
40 If you find a plot hole or a badly lip-synced line of code in them,
41 let us know - it is a matter of honour for us to ensure Blondie doesn't look
42 like he's been walking 100 miles through the desert without water.
45 This module contains a set of plugins that we consider to have good quality
46 code, correct functionality, our preferred license (LGPL for the plugin
47 code, LGPL or LGPL-compatible for the supporting library).
48 We believe distributors can safely ship these plugins.
49 People writing elements should base their code on these elements.
52 Other modules containing plugins are:
56 contains a basic set of well-supported plugins
58 contains a set of well-supported plugins, but might pose problems for
61 contains a set of less supported plugins that haven't passed the
62 rigorous quality testing we expect, or are still missing documentation
65 contains a set of codecs plugins based on libav (formerly gst-ffmpeg)
