2 Release notes for GStreamer Bad Plugins 1.11.2
4 The GStreamer team is pleased to announce the second release of the unstable
5 1.11 release series. The 1.11 release series is adding new features on top of
6 the 1.0, 1.2, 1.4, 1.6, 1.8 and 1.10 series and is part of the API and ABI-stable 1.x release
7 series of the GStreamer multimedia framework. The unstable 1.11 release series
8 will lead to the stable 1.12 release series in the next weeks. Any newly added
9 API can still change until that point.
12 Full release notes will be provided at some point during the 1.11 release
13 cycle, highlighting all the new features, bugfixes, performance optimizations
14 and other important changes.
17 Binaries for Android, iOS, Mac OS X and Windows will be provided in the next days.
23 No perfectly groomed moustache or any amount of fine clothing is going to
24 cover up the truth - these plugins are Bad with a capital B.
25 They look fine on the outside, and might even appear to get the job done, but
26 at the end of the day they're a black sheep. Without a golden-haired angel
27 to watch over them, they'll probably land in an unmarked grave at the final
31 Don't bug us about their quality - exercise your Free Software rights,
32 patch up the offender and send us the patch on the fastest steed you can
33 steal from the Confederates. Because you see, in this world, there's two
34 kinds of people, my friend: those with loaded guns and those who dig.
38 This module contains a set of plugins that aren't up to par compared to the
39 rest. They might be close to being good quality, but they're missing something
40 - be it a good code review, some documentation, a set of tests, a real live
41 maintainer, or some actual wide use. If the blanks are filled in they might be
42 upgraded to become part of either gst-plugins-good or gst-plugins-ugly,
43 depending on the other factors.
44 If the plugins break, you can't complain - instead, you can fix the
45 problem and send us a patch, or bribe someone into fixing them for you.
46 New contributors can start here for things to work on.
49 Other modules containing plugins are:
53 contains a basic set of well-supported plugins
55 contains a set of well-supported plugins under our preferred license
57 contains a set of well-supported plugins, but might pose problems for
60 contains a set of codecs plugins based on libav (formerly gst-ffmpeg)
