Release notes for GStreamer 0.10.18 "So far away" The GStreamer team is proud to announce a new release in the 0.10.x stable series of the core of the GStreamer streaming media framework. The 0.10.x series is a stable series targeted at end users. It is not API or ABI compatible with the stable 0.8.x series. It is, however, parallel installable with the 0.8.x series. The 0.10.x series has been reworked for threadsafety. It also features various feature additions and enhancements. This module, gstreamer, only contains core functionality.
