+Release notes for GStreamer 1.3.1
+
+
+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.
-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.
+Binaries for Android, iOS, Mac OS X and Windows will be provided separately
+during the unstable 1.3 release series.
-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.
+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.
+
This module, gstreamer, only contains core functionality.
For actual media playback, you will need other modules.
