+This is GStreamer gst-plugins-good 1.16.0.
-Release notes for GStreamer Good Plugins 1.0.2
+The GStreamer team is thrilled to announce a new major feature release in the
+stable 1.0 API series of your favourite cross-platform multimedia framework!
+As always, this release is again packed with new features, bug fixes and
+other improvements.
-The GStreamer team is proud to announce a new bug-fix release
-in the 1.x stable series of the
-core of the GStreamer streaming media framework.
+The 1.16 release series adds new features on top of the 1.14 series and is
+part of the API and ABI-stable 1.x release series of the GStreamer multimedia
+framework.
+Full release notes will one day be found at:
-The 1.x series is a stable series targeted at end users.
-It is not API or ABI compatible with the stable 0.10.x series.
-It is, however, parallel installable with the 0.10.x series and
-will not affect an existing 0.10.x installation.
+ 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.
-"Such ingratitude. After all the times I've saved your life."
+ - 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.
-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.
+ - 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
-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.
+ - 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.
-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.
+ - 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.
-Other modules containing plugins are:
+ - gst-rtsp-server: library to serve files or streaming pipelines via RTSP
