2 GStreamer: Release notes for GStreamer 0.8.8 "I'll Take Care Of You"
5 The GStreamer team is happy to announce a new release
6 in the 0.8.x stable series of the GStreamer streaming-media framework.
9 The 0.8.x series is a stable series aimed at end users.
10 It is not API or ABI compatible with the stable 0.6.x series.
11 It is, however, parallel installable with the 0.6.x series.
14 This module only contains core functionality. For actual media playback,
15 you will need other modules. GStreamer Plugins contains a huge set of
16 additional plugins. GStreamer FFmpeg contains a plugin based on the popular
17 FFmpeg decoding library. These modules need not have the same source version
18 as the core, as long as they are in the 0.8.x series.
