+Release notes for GStreamer 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 the first release
-in the 0.11.x unstable series of the
-core of the GStreamer streaming media framework.
-The 0.11.x series is an unstable series targeted at developers.
-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.
+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.
-The 0.11.x series has improved memory management and features
-various cleanups and enhancements.
+
+The versioning scheme that is used in general is that 1.x.y is API and
+ABI backwards compatible with previous 1.x.y releases. If x is an even
+number it is a stable release series and all releases in this series
+will only contain important bugfixes, e.g. the 1.0 series with 1.0.7. If
+x is odd it is a development release series that will lead to the next
+stable release series 1.x+1 and contains new features and bigger
+changes. During the development release series, new API can still
+change.
+
This module, gstreamer, only contains core functionality.
For actual media playback, you will need other modules.
