-GStreamer: Release notes for GStreamer Plugins 0.7.6 "There"
-
+Release notes for GStreamer Bad Plugins 1.6.0
+
+
+The GStreamer team is proud to announce a new major feature release in the
+stable 1.x API series of your favourite cross-platform multimedia framework!
+
+
+This release has been in the works for more than a year and is packed with new
+features, bug fixes and other improvements.
+
+
+See
+http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/releases/1.6/
+for the full list of changes.
+
+
+
+"That an accusation?"
+
+
+No perfectly groomed moustache or any amount of fine clothing is going to
+cover up the truth - these plugins 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.
+
-The GStreamer team is happy to announce a new release in the
-0.7.x development series of the GStreamer Plugins.
-The goal of this release series is to stabilize towards a 0.8
-release series which will be part of the GNOME 2.6 releases
-and hopefully eventually KDE 4.x.
+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.
-0.7.6 is a Release Candidate for GStreamer Plugins 0.8.0
-It is released to shake out the last bugs that might be still present
-due to major/minor number differences.
+This module contains a set of plugins 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 plugins 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 plugins are:
+
+
+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-libav
+contains a set of codecs plugins based on libav (formerly gst-ffmpeg)
-The 0.7 series is a development series and is aimed at developers.
-It is NOT API or ABI compatible with the stable 0.6.x series or
-with other releases in the series. This means you can not use this
-release to upgrade your current GStreamer installation and expect your
-GStreamer applications to keep working without a recompile.
-It is, however, parallel installable with the 0.6.x series.
