+The GStreamer team is proud to announce a new bug-fix release
+in the 1.x stable series of the
core of the GStreamer streaming media framework.
-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.
+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 0.10.x series has been reworked for threadsafety. It also features
-various feature additions and enhancements.
+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.

Features of this release
