+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."
-A collection of plug-ins you'd want to have right next to you on the

-Features of this release
-
- * Use Orc (Optimized Inner Loops Runtime Compiler) for SIMD and
- other optimisations, and remove liboil dependency. The main goal
- for this release was to make the transition from liboil to liborc.
- Performance improvements should not be expected and will be the
- focus of future versions. liborc is an optional dependency for
- the time being, to make it possible to test and develop the very
- latest GStreamer versions on systems that don't have orc yet.
- However, without orc slow unoptimised backup code will be used
- for many performance critical code paths. Distributors are urged
- to package and ship the latest version of liborc and compile
- GStreamer modules with --enable-orc. Please do not distribute
- GStreamer packages that are not orc enabled. More information on
- the orc integration can be found in the docs/design/ directory.
