+This is GStreamer gst-plugins-ugly 1.15.0.1.
-Release notes for GStreamer Ugly Plug-ins 0.10.17 "Raised by Wolves"
-
+GStreamer 1.15 is the development version leading up to the next major
+stable version which will be 1.16.
-The GStreamer team is proud to announce a new release
-in the 0.10.x stable series of the
-GStreamer Ugly Plug-ins.
+The 1.15 development 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 0.10.x series is a stable series targeted at end users.
+ https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/releases/1.16/
+Binaries for Android, iOS, Mac OS X and Windows will 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.
-"When you have to shoot, shoot. Don't talk."
+ - 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.
-There are times when the world needs a color between black and white.
-Quality code to match the good's, but two-timing, backstabbing and ready to
-sell your freedom down the river. These plug-ins might have a patent noose
-around their neck, or a lock-up license, or any other problem that makes you
-think twice about shipping them.
+ - 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
-We don't call them ugly because we like them less. Does a mother love her
-son less because he's not as pretty as the other ones ? No - she commends
-him on his great personality. These plug-ins are the life of the party.
-And we'll still step in and set them straight if you report any unacceptable
-behaviour - because there are two kinds of people in the world, my friend:
-those with a rope around their neck and the people who do the cutting.
+ - 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 plug-ins that have good quality and correct
-functionality, but distributing them might pose problems. The license
-on either the plug-ins or the supporting libraries might not be how we'd
-like. The code might be widely known to present patent problems.
-Distributors should check if they want/can ship these plug-ins.
+ - 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 plug-ins are:
+ - gst-rtsp-server: library to serve files or streaming pipelines via RTSP
+ - gst-editing-services: library an plugins for non-linear editing
-gst-plugins-base
-contains a basic set of well-supported plug-ins
-gst-plugins-good
-contains a set of well-supported plug-ins under our preferred license
-gst-plugins-bad
-contains a set of less supported plug-ins that haven't passed the
- rigorous quality testing we expect
