-GStreamer: Release notes for GStreamer 0.7.6 "Almost"
+GStreamer: Release notes for GStreamer 0.9.2 "South"
-The GStreamer team is happy to announce a new release in the
-0.7.x development series of the GStreamer streaming-media framework.
-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.
+The GStreamer team is petrified to announce a new release
+in the 0.9.x development series of the
+core of the GStreamer streaming media framework.
-0.7.6 is a Release Candidate for GStreamer 0.8.0
-It is released to shake out the last bugs that might be still present
-due to major/minor number differences.
+The 0.9.x series is a development series and not recommended for 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 main focus of the 0.9 series is to make GStreamer threadsafe.
+
+
+This module, gstreamer, only contains core functionality.
+For actual media playback, you will need other modules.
+
+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
+gst-plugins-bad
+contains a set of less supported plug-ins that haven't passed the
+ rigorous quality testing we expect
-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.
