2 Release notes for GStreamer Good Plugins 1.3.90
5 The GStreamer team is pleased to announce the first release candidate of
6 the stable 1.4 release series. The 1.4 release series is adding new features
7 on top of the 1.0 and 1.2 series and is part of the API and ABI-stable 1.x
8 release series of the GStreamer multimedia framework.
11 This release candidate will hopefully shortly be followed by the stable 1.4.0
12 release if no bigger regressions or bigger issues are detected, and enough
13 testing of the release candidate happened. The new API that was added during
14 the 1.3 release series is not expected to change anymore at this point.
17 Binaries for Android, iOS, Mac OS X and Windows are provided together with this
21 The stable 1.4 release series is API and ABI compatible with 1.0.x, 1.2.x and
22 any other 1.x release series in the future. Compared to 1.2.x it contains some
23 new features and more intrusive changes that were considered too risky as a
28 "Such ingratitude. After all the times I've saved your life."
31 A collection of plugins you'd want to have right next to you on the
32 battlefield. Shooting sharp and making no mistakes, these plugins have it
33 all: good looks, good code, and good licensing. Documented and dressed up
34 in tests. If you're looking for a role model to base your own plugin on,
38 If you find a plot hole or a badly lip-synced line of code in them,
39 let us know - it is a matter of honour for us to ensure Blondie doesn't look
40 like he's been walking 100 miles through the desert without water.
43 This module contains a set of plugins that we consider to have good quality
44 code, correct functionality, our preferred license (LGPL for the plugin
45 code, LGPL or LGPL-compatible for the supporting library).
46 We believe distributors can safely ship these plugins.
47 People writing elements should base their code on these elements.
50 Other modules containing plugins are:
54 contains a basic set of well-supported plugins
56 contains a set of well-supported plugins, but might pose problems for
59 contains a set of less supported plugins that haven't passed the
60 rigorous quality testing we expect, or are still missing documentation
63 contains a set of codecs plugins based on libav (formerly gst-ffmpeg)
