+Release notes for GStreamer Good Plugins 1.7.1
-The GStreamer team is proud to announce a new release
-in the 0.10.x stable series of the
-GStreamer Good Plug-ins.
+The GStreamer team is pleased to announce the first release of the unstable
+1.7 release series. The 1.7 release series is adding new features on top of
+the 1.0, 1.2, 1.4 and 1.6 series and is part of the API and ABI-stable 1.x release
+series of the GStreamer multimedia framework. The unstable 1.7 release series
+will lead to the stable 1.8 release series in the next weeks. Any newly added
+API can still change until that point.
-The 0.10.x series is a stable series targeted at end users.
-It is not API or ABI compatible with the stable 0.8.x series.
-It is, however, parallel installable with the 0.8.x series.
+Binaries for Android, iOS, Mac OS X and Windows will be provided separately
+during the unstable 1.7 release series.
"Such ingratitude. After all the times I've saved your life."
-A collection of plug-ins you'd want to have right next to you on the
-battlefield. Shooting sharp and making no mistakes, these plug-ins have it

-Features of this release
-
- * Use Orc (Optimized Inner Loops Runtime Compiler) for SIMD and
- other optimisations, and remove liboil dependency. The main goal
- for this release was to make the transition from liboil to liborc.
- Performance improvements should not be expected and will be the
- focus of future versions. liborc is an optional dependency for
- the time being, to make it possible to test and develop the very
- latest GStreamer versions on systems that don't have orc yet.
- However, without orc slow unoptimised backup code will be used
- for many performance critical code paths. Distributors are urged
- to package and ship the latest version of liborc and compile
- GStreamer modules with --enable-orc. Please do not distribute
- GStreamer packages that are not orc enabled. More information on
- the orc integration can be found in the docs/design/ directory.
