-Release notes for GStreamer 1.3.1
+Release notes for GStreamer 1.5.1
The GStreamer team is pleased to announce the first release of the unstable
-1.3 release series. The 1.3 release series is adding new features on top of
-the 1.0 and 1.2 series and is part of the API and ABI-stable 1.x release
-series of the GStreamer multimedia framework. The unstable 1.3 release series
-will lead to the stable 1.4 release series in the next weeks, and newly added
+1.5 release series. The 1.5 release series is adding new features on top of
+the 1.0, 1.2 and 1.4 series and is part of the API and ABI-stable 1.x release
+series of the GStreamer multimedia framework. The unstable 1.5 release series
+will lead to the stable 1.6 release series in the next weeks, and newly added
API can still change until that point.
-
Binaries for Android, iOS, Mac OS X and Windows will be provided separately
-during the unstable 1.3 release series.

-The versioning scheme that is used in general is that 1.x.y is API and
-ABI backwards compatible with previous 1.x.y releases. If x is an even
-number it is a stable release series and all releases in this series
-will only contain important bugfixes, e.g. the 1.0 series with 1.0.7. If
-x is odd it is a development release series that will lead to the next
-stable release series 1.x+1 and contains new features and bigger
-changes. During the development release series, new API can still
-change.
