2 Release notes for GStreamer Bad Plugins 1.1.3
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.
20 No perfectly groomed moustache or any amount of fine clothing is going to
21 cover up the truth - these plugins are Bad with a capital B.
22 They look fine on the outside, and might even appear to get the job done, but
23 at the end of the day they're a black sheep. Without a golden-haired angel
24 to watch over them, they'll probably land in an unmarked grave at the final
28 Don't bug us about their quality - exercise your Free Software rights,
29 patch up the offender and send us the patch on the fastest steed you can
30 steal from the Confederates. Because you see, in this world, there's two
31 kinds of people, my friend: those with loaded guns and those who dig.
35 This module contains a set of plugins that aren't up to par compared to the
36 rest. They might be close to being good quality, but they're missing something
37 - be it a good code review, some documentation, a set of tests, a real live
38 maintainer, or some actual wide use. If the blanks are filled in they might be
39 upgraded to become part of either gst-plugins-good or gst-plugins-ugly,
40 depending on the other factors.
41 If the plugins break, you can't complain - instead, you can fix the
42 problem and send us a patch, or bribe someone into fixing them for you.
43 New contributors can start here for things to work on.
46 Other modules containing plugins are:
50 contains a basic set of well-supported plugins
52 contains a set of well-supported plugins under our preferred license
54 contains a set of well-supported plugins, but might pose problems for
57 contains a set of codecs plugins based on libav (formerly gst-ffmpeg)
