2 Release notes for GStreamer Good Plug-ins 0.10.17 "They used to sparkle"
6 The GStreamer team is proud to announce a new release
7 in the 0.10.x stable series of the
8 GStreamer Good Plug-ins.
11 The 0.10.x series is a stable series targeted at end users.
12 It is not API or ABI compatible with the stable 0.8.x series.
13 It is, however, parallel installable with the 0.8.x series.
17 "Such ingratitude. After all the times I've saved your life."
20 A collection of plug-ins you'd want to have right next to you on the
21 battlefield. Shooting sharp and making no mistakes, these plug-ins have it
22 all: good looks, good code, and good licensing. Documented and dressed up
23 in tests. If you're looking for a role model to base your own plug-in on,
27 If you find a plot hole or a badly lip-synced line of code in them,
28 let us know - it is a matter of honour for us to ensure Blondie doesn't look
29 like he's been walking 100 miles through the desert without water.
32 This module contains a set of plug-ins that we consider to have good quality
33 code, correct functionality, our preferred license (LGPL for the plug-in
34 code, LGPL or LGPL-compatible for the supporting library).
35 We believe distributors can safely ship these plug-ins.
36 People writing elements should base their code on these elements.
39 Other modules containing plug-ins are:
43 contains a basic set of well-supported plug-ins
45 contains a set of well-supported plug-ins, but might pose problems for
48 contains a set of less supported plug-ins that haven't passed the
49 rigorous quality testing we expect
