-## Bugs fixed in 1.14
+GStreamer Rust Plugins
-- this section will be filled in shortly
+- FIXME
-More than [704 bugs][bugs-fixed-in-1.14] have been fixed during
-the development of 1.14.
-This list does not include issues that have been cherry-picked into the
-stable 1.12 branch and fixed there as well, all fixes that ended up in the
-1.12 branch are also included in 1.14.
+Build and Dependencies
+
+- The Autotools build system has finally been removed in favour of the
+ Meson build system. Developers who currently use gst-uninstalled
+ should move to gst-build.
+
+- API and plugin documentation are no longer built with gtk_doc. The
+ gtk_doc documentation has been removed in favour of a new unified
+ documentation module built with hotdoc. The intention is to
+ distribute the generated documentation in form of tarballs alongside
+ releases.
+
+- FIXME
+
+Cerbero
+
+Cerbero is a meta build system used to build GStreamer plus dependencies
+on platforms where dependencies are not readily available, such as
+Windows, Android, iOS and macOS.
+
+Cerbero has seen a number of improvements:
