+This is GStreamer gst-plugins-base 1.17.2.
-Release notes for GStreamer Base Plugins 1.11.1
-
-The GStreamer team is pleased to announce the first release of the unstable
-1.11 release series. The 1.11 release series is adding new features on top of
-the 1.0, 1.2, 1.4, 1.6, 1.8 and 1.10 series and is part of the API and ABI-stable 1.x release
-series of the GStreamer multimedia framework. The unstable 1.11 release series
-will lead to the stable 1.12 release series in the next weeks. Any newly added
-API can still change until that point.
-
-
-Full release notes will be provided at some point during the 1.11 release
-cycle, highlighting all the new features, bugfixes, performance optimizations
-and other important changes.
-
-
-Binaries for Android, iOS, Mac OS X and Windows will be provided in the next days.
-
-
-This module contains a set of reference plugins, base classes for other
-plugins, and helper libraries. It also includes essential elements such
-as audio and video format converters, and higher-level components like playbin,
-decodebin, encodebin, and discoverer.
-
-This module is kept up-to-date together with the core developments. Element
-writers should look at the elements in this module as a reference for
-their development.
-
-This module contains elements for, among others:
-
- device plugins: x(v)imagesink, alsa, v4lsrc, cdparanoia
- containers: ogg
- codecs: vorbis, theora
- text: textoverlay, subparse
- sources: audiotestsrc, videotestsrc, giosrc
- network: tcp
- typefind functions
- audio processing: audioconvert, adder, audiorate, audioresample, volume
- visualisation: libvisual
- video processing: videoconvert, videoscale
- high-level components: playbin, uridecodebin, decodebin, encodebin, discoverer
- libraries: app, audio, fft, pbutils, riff, rtp, rtsp, sdp, tag, video
-
-
-Other modules containing plugins are:
-
-
-gst-plugins-good
-contains a set of well-supported plugins under our preferred license
-gst-plugins-ugly
-contains a set of well-supported plugins, but might pose problems for
- distributors
-gst-plugins-bad
-contains a set of less supported plugins that haven't passed the
- rigorous quality testing we expect, or are still missing documentation
- and/or unit tests
-gst-libav
-contains a set of codecs plugins based on libav (formerly gst-ffmpeg)

+GStreamer 1.17 is the development branch leading up to the next major
+stable version which will be 1.18.
+
+The 1.17 development series adds new features on top of the 1.16 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/1.18/
+
+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
