+This is GStreamer gst-plugins-bad 1.18.0.
-Release notes for GStreamer Bad Plug-ins 0.10.11 "A precious stone"
-
-
-
-The GStreamer team is proud to announce a new release
-in the 0.10.x stable series of the
-GStreamer Bad Plug-ins.
+The GStreamer team is thrilled to announce a new major feature release
+of your favourite cross-platform multimedia framework!
+As always, this release is again packed with new features, bug fixes and
+other improvements.
-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 1.18 release 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 can be found at:
+ https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/releases/1.18/
-"That an accusation?"
+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.
-No perfectly groomed moustache or any amount of fine clothing is going to
-cover up the truth - these plug-ins are Bad with a capital B.
-They look fine on the outside, and might even appear to get the job done, but
-at the end of the day they're a black sheep. Without a golden-haired angel
-to watch over them, they'll probably land in an unmarked grave at the final
-showdown.
+ - 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.
-Don't bug us about their quality - exercise your Free Software rights,
-patch up the offender and send us the patch on the fastest steed you can
-steal from the Confederates. Because you see, in this world, there's two
-kinds of people, my friend: those with loaded guns and those who dig.
-You dig.
-
-
-This module contains a set of plug-ins that aren't up to par compared to the
-rest. They might be close to being good quality, but they're missing something
-- be it a good code review, some documentation, a set of tests, a real live
-maintainer, or some actual wide use. If the blanks are filled in they might be
-upgraded to become part of either gst-plugins-good or gst-plugins-ugly,
-depending on the other factors.
-If the plug-ins break, you can't complain - instead, you can fix the
-problem and send us a patch, or bribe someone into fixing them for you.
-New contributors can start here for things to work on.
-
-
-Other modules containing plug-ins are:
-
-
-gst-plugins-base
-contains a basic set of well-supported plug-ins
-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
