-GStreamer: Release notes for GStreamer 0.9.6 "Always On Time"
+Release notes for GStreamer 0.10.32 "Take Me to the Bonus Level"
-The GStreamer team is petrified to announce a new release
-in the 0.9.x development series of the
-core of the GStreamer streaming media framework.
-
-The 0.9.x series is a development series and not recommended for 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 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.
-The main focus of the 0.9 series is to make GStreamer threadsafe.
+The 0.10.x series is a stable series targeted at end users.
This module, gstreamer, only contains core functionality.

+ * gobject-introspection: add annotations for most core API
+ * clock: make sync clock wait lockfree
+ * fdsrc/fdsink: reenable on MSVC

+ * poll: refactor and make more lockfree; fixes for win32 and OSX (pselect backend)

Developers
-CVS is hosted on cvs.freedesktop.org.
-All code is in CVS and can be checked out from there.
+GStreamer is stored in Git, hosted at git.freedesktop.org, and can be cloned from there.
Interested developers of the core library, plug-ins, and applications should
subscribe to the gstreamer-devel list. If there is sufficient interest we
will create more lists as necessary.
-Applications
-
-At this point, ports of existing applications to 0.9 are still experimental.
-A patch for Totem is maintained at
-
-http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=313086.
-A patch for Rhythmbox is maintained at
-
-http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=309609.
-Jamboree has a branch with the tag "jamboree-gst-0.9" that works against
-GStreamer 0.9.
-Flumotion has been mostly ported to 0.9 as well.
