-GStreamer: Release notes for GStreamer 0.8.0 "Executive Slacks"
-
+Release notes for GStreamer 1.2.0
+
+
+The GStreamer team is proud to announce a new feature release
+in the 1.x stable series of the
+core of the GStreamer streaming media framework.
+
-The GStreamer team is happy to announce the first release
-in the 0.8.x stable series
-of the GStreamer streaming-media framework.
+The 1.x series is a stable series targeted at end users.
+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 and
+will not affect an existing 0.10.x installation.
-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.
+The 1.x series has been reworked for more flexible memory handling, improved
+caps negotiation and re-negotiation, better handling of dynamic pipelines,
+and increased performance in general. It also features countless other feature
+additions and enhancements.
+
+
+This module, gstreamer, only contains core functionality.
+For actual media playback, you will need other modules.
+
+gst-plugins-base
+contains a basic set of well-supported plugins
+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)
-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.
