-The GStreamer team is pleased to announce the first release of the unstable
-1.3 release series. The 1.3 release series is adding new features on top of
-the 1.0 and 1.2 series and is part of the API and ABI-stable 1.x release
-series of the GStreamer multimedia framework. The unstable 1.3 release series
-will lead to the stable 1.4 release series in the next weeks, and newly added
-API can still change until that point.
-
-
-
-Binaries for Android, iOS, Mac OS X and Windows will be provided separately
-during the unstable 1.3 release series.
-
-
-
-The versioning scheme that is used in general is that 1.x.y is API and
-ABI backwards compatible with previous 1.x.y releases. If x is an even
-number it is a stable release series and all releases in this series
-will only contain important bugfixes, e.g. the 1.0 series with 1.0.7. If
-x is odd it is a development release series that will lead to the next
-stable release series 1.x+1 and contains new features and bigger
-changes. During the development release series, new API can still
-change.

-
-"Such ingratitude. After all the times I've saved your life."
-
-
-A collection of plugins you'd want to have right next to you on the
-battlefield. Shooting sharp and making no mistakes, these plugins have it
-all: good looks, good code, and good licensing. Documented and dressed up
-in tests. If you're looking for a role model to base your own plugin on,
-here it is.
-
-
-If you find a plot hole or a badly lip-synced line of code in them,
-let us know - it is a matter of honour for us to ensure Blondie doesn't look
-like he's been walking 100 miles through the desert without water.
-
-
-This module contains a set of plugins that we consider to have good quality
- code, correct functionality, our preferred license (LGPL for the plugin
- code, LGPL or LGPL-compatible for the supporting library).
-We believe distributors can safely ship these plugins.
-People writing elements should base their code on these elements.
-
-
-Other modules containing plugins are:
-
-
-gst-plugins-base
-contains a basic set of well-supported plugins
-gst-plugins-ugly
-contains a set of well-supported plugins, but might pose problems for
- distributors
-gst-plugins-bad
-contains a set of less supported plugins that haven't passed the
- rigorous quality testing we expect, or are still missing documentation
- and/or unit tests
-gst-libav
-contains a set of codecs plugins based on libav (formerly gst-ffmpeg)

+Full release notes will one day be found at:
+
+ https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/releases/1.16/
+
+Binaries for Android, iOS, Mac OS X and Windows will usually be provided
+shortly after the release.
+
+This module will not be very useful by itself and should be used in conjunction
+with other GStreamer modules for a complete multimedia experience.
+
+ - gstreamer: provides the core GStreamer libraries and some generic plugins
+
+ - gst-plugins-base: a basic set of well-supported plugins and additional
+ media-specific GStreamer helper libraries for audio,
+ video, rtsp, rtp, tags, OpenGL, etc.
+
+ - gst-plugins-good: a set of well-supported plugins under our preferred
+ license
+
+ - gst-plugins-ugly: a set of well-supported plugins which might pose
+ problems for distributors
+
+ - gst-plugins-bad: a set of plugins of varying quality that have not made
+ their way into one of core/base/good/ugly yet, for one
+ reason or another. Many of these are are production quality
+ elements, but may still be missing documentation or unit
+ tests; others haven't passed the rigorous quality testing
+ we expect yet.
+
+ - gst-libav: a set of codecs plugins based on the ffmpeg library. This is
+ where you can find audio and video decoders and encoders
+ for a wide variety of formats including H.264, AAC, etc.
+
+ - gstreamer-vaapi: hardware-accelerated video decoding and encoding using
+ VA-API on Linux. Primarily for Intel graphics hardware.
+
+ - gst-omx: hardware-accelerated video decoding and encoding, primarily for
+ embedded Linux systems that provide an OpenMax
+ implementation layer such as the Raspberry Pi.
+
+ - gst-rtsp-server: library to serve files or streaming pipelines via RTSP
+
+ - gst-editing-services: library an plugins for non-linear editing
