-GStreamer 0.3.2 "Do-B-day" released
+This is GStreamer core 1.16.1.
-Release Notes
+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 GStreamer team is happy to announce another release of the
- GStreamer streaming-media framework. GStreamer now contains close to
- 100 plugins for reading, writing and manipulating audio and video. We
- are rapidly approaching a stable set of libraries. Our sample
- applications are, however, still under development.
+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.
- We now have a gst-all module prepared that includes all of our source
- modules in one easy-to-compile package.
+Full release notes will one day be found at:
-Future Plans
+ https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/releases/1.16/
- Our goal for the next release is stabilizing and improving the current
- feature set of GStreamer further, including introducing an improved
- autoplugger module for even better handling of media formats. We will
- also focus more attention at our media player sample application as
- this is the application most users and developers probably will use to
- get aquinted with the framework.
+Binaries for Android, iOS, Mac OS X and Windows will usually be provided
+shortly after the release.
- For help building GStreamer, take a look at our build help document.
+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. Patches fixing such problems are also more than welcome.
+ - 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.
