+Release notes for GStreamer 0.10.24 "It matters"
-The GStreamer team is happy to announce a new release
-in the 0.8.x stable series of the GStreamer streaming-media framework.
+The GStreamer team is proud to announce a new release
+in the 0.10.x stable series of the
+core of the GStreamer streaming media framework.
-The 0.8.x series is a stable series aimed at end users.
-It is not API or ABI compatible with the stable 0.6.x series.
-It is, however, parallel installable with the 0.6.x series.

+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 0.10.x series has been reworked for threadsafety. It also features
+various feature additions and enhancements.
+
+
+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
-This module only contains core functionality. For actual media playback,
-you will need other modules. GStreamer Plugins contains a huge set of
-additional plugins. GStreamer FFmpeg contains a plugin based on the popular
-FFmpeg decoding library. These modules need not have the same source version
-as the core, as long as they are in the 0.8.x series.
