2 Release notes for GStreamer Bad Plugins 1.10.0
4 The GStreamer team is pleased to announce the first release of the new stable
5 1.10 release series. The 1.10 release series is adding new features on top of
6 the 1.0, 1.2, 1.4, 1.6 and 1.8 series and is part of the API and ABI-stable 1.x
7 release series of the GStreamer multimedia framework.
10 Binaries for Android, iOS, Mac OS X and Windows will be provided shortly after
11 the source release by the GStreamer project during the stable 1.10 release
18 No perfectly groomed moustache or any amount of fine clothing is going to
19 cover up the truth - these plugins are Bad with a capital B.
20 They look fine on the outside, and might even appear to get the job done, but
21 at the end of the day they're a black sheep. Without a golden-haired angel
22 to watch over them, they'll probably land in an unmarked grave at the final
26 Don't bug us about their quality - exercise your Free Software rights,
27 patch up the offender and send us the patch on the fastest steed you can
28 steal from the Confederates. Because you see, in this world, there's two
29 kinds of people, my friend: those with loaded guns and those who dig.
33 This module contains a set of plugins that aren't up to par compared to the
34 rest. They might be close to being good quality, but they're missing something
35 - be it a good code review, some documentation, a set of tests, a real live
36 maintainer, or some actual wide use. If the blanks are filled in they might be
37 upgraded to become part of either gst-plugins-good or gst-plugins-ugly,
38 depending on the other factors.
39 If the plugins break, you can't complain - instead, you can fix the
40 problem and send us a patch, or bribe someone into fixing them for you.
41 New contributors can start here for things to work on.
44 Other modules containing plugins are:
48 contains a basic set of well-supported plugins
50 contains a set of well-supported plugins under our preferred license
52 contains a set of well-supported plugins, but might pose problems for
55 contains a set of codecs plugins based on libav (formerly gst-ffmpeg)
