+This is GStreamer core 1.16.1.
- GStreamer "Desperately Seeking Sexiness" 0.4.0 released
-
- The GStreamer team is happy to announce another release of the
- GStreamer streaming-media framework. We are quickly moving forward at
- this time and more and more applications using GStreamer are popping
- up. Please see the [1]release page for availability of source and
- binary packages.
-
-Updates and Enhancements
-
- General
-
- * Graphical pipeline editor (gst-editor) ported to GNOME 2.0
- * Autobuild system using [2]bitches to generate good RPMs
- * Apt for rpm repository for GStreamer and plug-in dependencies on
- RedHat 7.2 and 7.3, for both Ximian Red-Carpet Gnome 2 and

- * Red-Carpet GStreamer channel under construction.
- * GConf schemas distributed for centralised sink settings
- * Moved to [4]http://bugzilla.gnome.org/ for bug reports. Bugzilla
- is more convenient than SourceForge's system, and Gnome already
- has a system running. Thanks to Gnome for the support.
- * Created a gst-feedback script to gather system information to be
- added to a bug report for better debugging.
-
- Core
-

-
-Known Issues
-
- GStreamer currently ships with two schedulers, named 'basic' and
- 'standard'. Basic is the one we have been shipping for a long time now
- and is still the default in GStreamer 0.4.0. There are however some
- limitations and threadrelated bugs in basic. These limitations are not
- present in standard, but unfortunately standard does not work with
- i686 glibc atm due to differences in the way threads are handled
- compared to other architectures including i386. We hope to get the
- remaining issues in standard fixed before 0.4.1 and use that as
- default.
-
- As for the bugs in basic we did not feel they warranted not releasing
- 0.4.0 as they are rather obscure. For instance if you are using
- Rhythmbox you will need to be playing over 500 songs nonstop to
- trigger it.
-
- If you want to test the standard scheduler, run your GStreamer
- application with --gst-scheduler=standard

- More details on these features can be found on the project's website,
- [8]http://gstreamer.net/.
-
-Support
-
- We use [9]Gnome's Bugzilla for bug reports and feature requests. The
- "product name" is GStreamer (capital G). Please do the following
- before writing a bug report :
-gst-feedback > feedback 2>&1
-
- and attach the file "feedback" to your bug report, so that we have
- some information useful in the debugging process.
-
-Developers
-
- GStreamer is [10]hosted on SourceForge. All code is in CVS and can be
- checked out 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.
-
- We are still looking for people with access to Solaris, HP-UX, Irix
- and True64 that would be willing to try building and testing
- GStreamer. Patches fixing such problems are also more than welcome.

+The GStreamer team is pleased to announce another bug-fix release in the
+stable 1.x API series of your favourite cross-platform multimedia 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:
+
+ 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.
+
+ - 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.
+
+ - 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
+
+ - 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.
+
+ - 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.
+
+ - gst-rtsp-server: library to serve files or streaming pipelines via RTSP
+
+ - gst-editing-services: library an plugins for non-linear editing
