+This is GStreamer core 1.16.1.
-GStreamer: Release notes for GStreamer 0.8.5 "Stuttgart"
-
-
-The GStreamer team is happy to announce a new release
-in the 0.8.x stable series of the GStreamer streaming-media framework.
-
-
-The 0.8.x series is a stable series aimed at end users.
-It is not API or ABI compatible with the stable 0.6.x series.
-It is, however, parallel installable with the 0.6.x series.
-
-
-This is the first GStreamer release that compiles with MSVC7 with full
-debug support. Installation of the binaries and the locales are also handled.
-
-
-This module only contains core functionality. For actual media playback,
-you will need other modules. GStreamer Plugins contains a huge set of
-additional plugins. GStreamer FFmpeg contains a plugin based on the popular
-FFmpeg decoding library. These modules need not have the same source version
-as the core, as long as they are in the 0.8.x series.
-
-
-Features of this release
-
- * Parallel installability with 0.6.x series
- * Internationalization
- * New Translation: Albanian (sq), Laurent Dhima
- * Translations: af, az, cs, en_GB, fr, nl, sq, sr, sv, tr, uk
- * first release that works on Windows with MSVC7
- * fixed lists can now be intersected
- * transform functions from fraction to double added
- * optimal scheduler fixes
- * fixation fixes
- * filesrc fixes

-
-Bugs fixed in this release
-

- * 147889 : gst_element_link_pads_filtered may ignore named dest pad ...
- * 148692 : GstQueue binary compatibility breakage
- * 149981 : Win32 not included in the source distribution
- * 150242 : GStreamer doesn't copy some buffer flags correctly
-
-API changed in this release
-
-
-- API additions:
-
-* A new function, gst_scheduler_register, has been added.
-* A new enum member of GstBufferFlag, GST_BUFFER_DELTA_UNIT has been added.
-
-- API depreciations:
-
-* GstBufferFlag has a deprecated enum member, GST_BUFFER_KEY_UNIT.
-Buffers should be marked with GST_BUFFER_DELTA_UNIT when they're not
-key units instead, since key units are the more common case.

+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
