2 Release notes for GStreamer Ugly Plug-ins 0.10.7 "I Cheated Time"
5 The GStreamer team is proud to announce a new release
6 in the 0.10.x stable series of the
7 GStreamer Ugly Plug-ins.
10 The 0.10.x series is a stable series targeted at 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.
16 "When you have to shoot, shoot. Don't talk."
19 There are times when the world needs a color between black and white.
20 Quality code to match the good's, but two-timing, backstabbing and ready to
21 sell your freedom down the river. These plug-ins might have a patent noose
22 around their neck, or a lock-up license, or any other problem that makes you
23 think twice about shipping them.
26 We don't call them ugly because we like them less. Does a mother love her
27 son less because he's not as pretty as the other ones ? No - she commends
28 him on his great personality. These plug-ins are the life of the party.
29 And we'll still step in and set them straight if you report any unacceptable
30 behaviour - because there are two kinds of people in the world, my friend:
31 those with a rope around their neck and the people who do the cutting.
34 This module contains a set of plug-ins that have good quality and correct
35 functionality, but distributing them might pose problems. The license
36 on either the plug-ins or the supporting libraries might not be how we'd
37 like. The code might be widely known to present patent problems.
38 Distributors should check if they want/can ship these plug-ins.
41 Other modules containing plug-ins are:
45 contains a basic set of well-supported plug-ins
47 contains a set of well-supported plug-ins under our preferred license
49 contains a set of less supported plug-ins that haven't passed the
50 rigorous quality testing we expect
