-GStreamer: Release notes for GStreamer Plugins 0.8.5 "Take You On"
+Release notes for GStreamer Base Plug-ins 0.10.32 "Your Life You Like It Well"
-The GStreamer team is happy to announce a new release
-in the 0.8.x stable series of the GStreamer Plugins.
+The GStreamer team is proud to announce a new release
+in the 0.10.x stable series of the
+GStreamer Base Plug-ins.
-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 0.10.x series is a stable series targeted at end users.
-This module contains plugins providing media encoding and decoding,
-conversion, effects, and other elements that provide actual media
-handling functionality to the core. You need the GStreamer core module
-to make them work. The versions do not need to match exactly, as long
-as all of them are in the 0.8.x series.
-The FFmpeg-based decoder element has been moved to its own module. If you
-want support for a lot of popular video formats, you need to install this
-module along with the GStreamer Core and Plugins. An FFmpeg-based colorspace
-element has been added to the Plugins however.
+This module contains a set of reference plugins, base classes for other
+plugins, and helper libraries.
+
+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, gnomevfssrc, giosrc
+ network: tcp
+ typefind functions
+ audio processing: audioconvert, adder, audiorate, audioresample, volume
+ visualisation: libvisual
+ video processing: ffmpegcolorspace
+ aggregate elements: uridecodebin, playbin2, decodebin2, decodebin, playbin, encodebin
+ libraries: app, audio, cdda, fft, interfaces, netbuffer, pbutils, riff, rtp, rtsp, sdp, tag, video
+
+
+Other modules containing plug-ins are:
+
+
+gst-plugins-good
+contains a set of well-supported plug-ins under our preferred license
+gst-plugins-ugly
+contains a set of well-supported plug-ins, but might pose problems for
+ distributors
+gst-plugins-bad
+contains a set of less supported plug-ins that haven't passed the
+ rigorous quality testing we expect
+
