2 GStreamer: Release notes for GStreamer 0.9.2 "South"
5 The GStreamer team is petrified to announce a new release
6 in the 0.9.x development series of the
7 core of the GStreamer streaming media framework.
10 The 0.9.x series is a development series and not recommended for end users.
11 It is not API or ABI compatible with the stable 0.8.x series.
12 It is, however, parallel installable with the 0.8.x series.
15 The main focus of the 0.9 series is to make GStreamer threadsafe.
18 This module, gstreamer, only contains core functionality.
19 For actual media playback, you will need other modules.
22 contains a basic set of well-supported plug-ins
24 contains a set of well-supported plug-ins under our preferred license
26 contains a set of well-supported plug-ins, but might pose problems for
29 contains a set of less supported plug-ins that haven't passed the
30 rigorous quality testing we expect
