+Release notes for GStreamer Good Plugins 1.4.0
+
+
+The GStreamer team is pleased to announce the first release of
+the stable 1.4 release series. The 1.4 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.
+
+
+Binaries for Android, iOS, Mac OS X and Windows are provided together
+with this release.
-The GStreamer team is proud to announce a new release
-in the 0.10.x stable series of the
-GStreamer Good Plug-ins.
-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 stable 1.4 release series is API and ABI compatible with 1.0.x,
+1.2.x and any other 1.x release series in the future. Compared to 1.2.x
+it contains some new features and more intrusive changes that were
+considered too risky as a bugfix.
"Such ingratitude. After all the times I've saved your life."

-Features of this release
-
- * v4l2src: massive performance improvement in many cases
- * streaming mode fixes for avi and matroska/webm
- * seeking in matroska and webm files that don't have an index

- * debugutils: new element cpureport, posts "cpu-report" element messages on bus
- * flacdec, rtspsrc, rtph264pay, rtpmp4vdepay: memory leak fixes
- * gconfvideosrc: use correct GConf key (ie. not the audiosrc key)
- * gdkpixbuf: remove gdkpixbuf3 plugin again, gdk-pixbuf was split out of gtk+ and will stay at 2.x
- * id3v2mux: write beats-per-minute tag using TBPM frame

- * matroskademux: do not error out on a block with unknown tracknumber
- * matroskademux: fix streaming in case where the size in bytes is unknown
- * matroskademux: handle bogus files storing ADTS AAC data
- * matroskademux: support seeking in local files even if they don't have an index
- * matroskamux: don't try to seek back and fix up headers if streamable=TRUE
- * pulsesink: fix race when creating multiple pulsesinks at the same time
- * qtdemux: also calculate PAR using track width and height for QT files
- * qtdemux: fix the max/avg in btrt atom reading
- * qtdemux: improve reverse playback

- * rtpg729pay: avoid basertppayload perfect-rtptime mode
- * rtph263pdepay: allow more clock-rates as input
- * rtpL16depay: also parse encoding-params for the number of channels
- * rtpL16depay: default to 1 channel if number of channels not specified
- * rtpmp4gpay: implement perfect timestamps
- * rtspsrc: add "port-range" property, useful for setups with firewall/ipsec
- * rtspsrc: don't reuse udp sockets (avoids odd errors when data from previous streams is received)
- * udpsrc: add "reuse" property to enable or disable port reuse (enabled by default, but disabled in rtspsrc)
- * v4l2: sort formats in the right order so that non-emulated formats are prefered
- * videobalance: fix wrong locking order that could lead to a deadlock
- * videomixer: only reset QoS information and send a NEWSEGMENT event downstream for NEWSEGMENT events on the master pad
